Description

The Allen-Bradley 1794-OA8I is an 8-point isolated AC digital output module for the FLEX I/O system. It provides eight individually isolated output channels for switching 85 to 132 VAC field loads.

Each output is rated for up to 0.5 A at 55 degC. The module supports a maximum combined output current of 4 A when all eight channels operate at 0.5 A.

Channel-to-channel isolation separates the individual AC output circuits. The field circuits are also isolated from the FLEX I/O backplane.

The 1794-OA8I is designed for distributed digital output applications requiring independently isolated 120 VAC load control within a FLEX I/O station.

Connections / Interfaces

The 1794-OA8I connects to field devices through a compatible FLEX I/O terminal base arrangement.

Each output channel is electrically isolated. Separate AC sources are required for individual channels where channel-to-channel isolation must be maintained.

Field wiring should follow the applicable Rockwell Automation 1794-OA8I wiring diagram and terminal-base documentation.

Installation & Commissioning

  • Verify the catalog number and 85 to 132 VAC field-load requirement before installation.

  • Confirm the selected FLEX I/O terminal base and wiring arrangement.

  • Verify load current remains within the output and module current limits.

  • Preserve channel isolation where the application requires isolated AC circuits.

  • Check field wiring before applying AC power to the outputs.

  • Verify each output independently during commissioning.

  • Confirm PLC output commands correspond with the intended field loads.

FAQ

What is the Allen-Bradley 1794-OA8I used for?

The Allen-Bradley 1794-OA8I is an eight-channel isolated AC digital output module for FLEX I/O systems. It switches 85 to 132 VAC field loads such as relays, contactors, solenoids, and other discrete AC devices.

Are the outputs on the Allen-Bradley 1794-OA8I individually isolated?

The Allen-Bradley 1794-OA8I provides channel-to-channel isolation between its eight AC outputs. The field circuits are also isolated from the FLEX I/O backplane.

How much current can each 1794-OA8I output switch?

The Allen-Bradley 1794-OA8I is rated for up to 0.5 A per output at 55 degC. The maximum combined output current is 4 A for the module.

What output voltage does the Allen-Bradley 1794-OA8I support?

The Allen-Bradley 1794-OA8I operates with 85 to 132 VAC field outputs and is classified as a nominal 120 VAC digital output module.

Can the 1794-OA8I be removed while the FLEX I/O system is operating?

The Allen-Bradley 1794-OA8I belongs to the FLEX I/O architecture, which supports Removal and Insertion Under Power. Applicable installation procedures and field-power precautions should still be followed.

Is the Allen-Bradley 1794-OA8I discontinued?

The Allen-Bradley 1794-OA8I is currently listed by Rockwell Automation with an Active Mature lifecycle status. Procurement planning should still consider its mature product lifecycle.
