Product Description

Description

The Allen-Bradley 1762-OW16 is a reliable relay output expansion module designed to enhance the capabilities of Allen-Bradley MicroLogix 1100, 1200, and 1400 programmable logic controllers. This expansion module provides 16 relay outputs, allowing the PLC system to control a wider range of discrete electrical loads. It effectively interfaces low-level controller signals with higher-voltage or higher-current industrial devices.

Engineered for industrial environments, the 1762-OW16 features isolated output groups to accommodate different potential levels or power sources across your application. The unit supports flexible installation options, mounting easily on standard DIN rails or directly to a control panel backplate, making it a versatile choice for space-constrained control panels.

Features

Provides 16 normally open relay output points for flexible load switching
Isolated output groups (Outputs 0 through 7 and Outputs 8 through 15) for application segregation
Compatible with MicroLogix 1100, 1200, and 1400 programmable controllers via the 1762 bus
DIN rail or panel mount installation capability
Removable terminal blocks for simplified wiring and maintenance

Applications

Controlling industrial actuators, solenoids, motor starters, and contactors
Interfacing PLC logic with AC or DC load circuits
Discrete automation systems requiring expanded relay output capacity
Machine building and OEM equipment manufacturing

Connections / Interfaces

The module features removable screw-clamp terminal blocks located behind protective terminal doors. These terminals accommodate solid or stranded copper wire for secure connections to field devices. Power and communication to the host MicroLogix controller are established via the integral 1762 bus connector on the side of the module.

Installation Guidelines

Ensure power to the controller and expansion system is disconnected before installing or removing the module.

Mount the module in an enclosure suitable for the operating environment, maintaining adequate clearance for heat dissipation and wiring.

Install recommended surge suppressors (RC networks, diodes, or varistors) across inductive loads to extend relay contact lifespan.

Observe bus power supply distance ratings (maximum of 6 expansion modules from the power supply, depending on configuration).

Compliance and Certifications

C-Tick, CE, c-UL-us, and Haz. Loc. certifications as applicable to standard Allen-Bradley 1762 hardware series.

FAQ

What controllers are compatible with the Allen-Bradley 1762-OW16 expansion module?

The Allen-Bradley 1762-OW16 relay output expansion module is designed to seamlessly integrate with Allen-Bradley MicroLogix 1100, 1200, and 1400 programmable logic controllers. It connects directly to the host controller via the integral 1762 bus connector on the side of the unit. This allows system builders to easily scale their discrete automation capabilities without needing a completely new controller architecture.

How many outputs does the Allen-Bradley 1762-OW16 provide?

The Allen-Bradley 1762-OW16 features 16 normally open relay output points for flexible load switching in industrial environments. These outputs are divided into two isolated groups of eight outputs each, accommodating different potential levels or power sources. This grouping allows the module to effectively interface low-level controller signals with higher-voltage or higher-current devices.

What are the electrical ratings and limits for the Allen-Bradley 1762-OW16?

The Allen-Bradley 1762-OW16 supports a maximum continuous current of 2.5A per point, 8A per common, and 16A total per module. It draws a maximum bus current of 180 mA at 24V DC, resulting in a power consumption of 4.32 W and a maximum heat dissipation of 6.1 W. Additionally, the unit exhibits a maximum signal delay of 10 ms for both turning ON and OFF.

What mounting options are available for the Allen-Bradley 1762-OW16?

The Allen-Bradley 1762-OW16 supports flexible installation options tailored for space-constrained industrial control panels. It can be mounted easily on standard DIN rails or directly attached to a control panel backplate using panel mount configurations. Technicians should ensure the unit is installed in an appropriate enclosure while maintaining adequate clearance for thermal dissipation and wiring.
