Product Summary
The Allen-Bradley 1762-OB16 is a solid-state output module for MicroLogix systems. It adds sixteen 24VDC sourcing channels to your controller. This module controls solenoid valves, motor starters, and pilot lamps.
Technical Evaluation & Performance Review
This module delivers robust performance for discrete output applications. Each point handles 0.5A continuously at 55°C. The module supports a continuous current of 4.0A at 55°C.
The 1762-OB16 switches on in just 0.1 milliseconds. It switches off in 1.0 millisecond. These fast signal delays ensure precise actuator control. The surge current rating reaches 2.0A for 10 milliseconds.
You can repeat the surge every 2 seconds at 55°C. This capability handles inrush loads from incandescent lamps. The module draws only 175mA from the 5V DC bus. This low power consumption keeps your system efficient.
The operating voltage range spans 20.4 to 26.4VDC. This tolerance handles real-world power fluctuations. The module operates reliably up to 2000 meters altitude. It functions in humidity from 5% to 95% non-condensing.
Step-by-Step Installation Guide
Mount the module on a DIN rail or panel. Use a DIN rail end anchor in high vibration environments. Ground the surface well before installation.
Maintain 50.8 millimeters of clearance on all sides. This space ensures proper ventilation for the module. Do not block airflow around the enclosure.
Connect the 24VDC power supply to the module terminals. The module uses a sourcing wiring configuration for all outputs. Wire each output to your actuating device.
Verify the power supply distance rating of six modules. Do not install this module further than six positions from the power supply. Add another power supply for systems with more modules.
The MicroLogix 1100 supports up to four expansion modules. The MicroLogix 1200 supports up to six modules. The MicroLogix 1400 supports up to seven modules.
The 1762-OB16 has one output group containing all sixteen channels. Wire your loads to outputs 0 through 15. Each point connects to a common terminal group.
