Product Summary
The Allen-Bradley 1762-OB32T is a high-density solid-state output module for MicroLogix controllers. It features thirty-two channels divided into two isolated groups of sixteen. This module delivers a nominal 24VDC output with a range of 10.2 to 26.4 VDC. Engineers use it to energize solenoids, indicator lights, and small DC motors reliably. Its design supports source wiring configurations for flexible system integration.
Why Choose the 1762-OB32T for Your System?
The 1762-OB32T provides exceptional channel density in a compact form factor. You get thirty-two outputs within two isolated groups for enhanced safety. Each group offers galvanic isolation rated at 1200V AC for two seconds. This isolation prevents fault propagation between different machine sections. The module supports a nominal voltage of 24VDC for standard industrial loads. Its output voltage range spans from 10.2 to 26.4 VDC for flexibility.
Every channel on this module delivers a continuous current of 0.5 Amps at 60 degrees Celsius. Each group of sixteen channels can handle up to 2.0 Amps total. The entire module supports a maximum continuous current of 4.0 Amps. This current distribution allows you to drive multiple devices simultaneously. The module also handles surge currents of 2.0 Amps for ten milliseconds. This surge capability supports inductive loads like solenoids and contactors.
Installation Guide for the 1762-OB32T Module
You must mount the 1762-OB32T inside a properly rated industrial enclosure. The enclosure must have a flame spread rating of 5VA, V2, V1, or V0. This requirement minimizes fire risk in Pollution Degree 2 environments. The module operates reliably at altitudes up to 6562 feet without derating. Access to the module interior requires a tool for safety compliance.
Use wire sizes of 22, 24, or 26 AWG for all field connections. The module supports source wiring for positive-switching output applications. Ensure each output load draws at least 1 mA minimum on-state current. This minimum current guarantees proper switching and diagnostic functionality. The module dissipates only 3.4 Watts of heat during normal operation. This low heat output reduces thermal stress inside your control panel.
Performance Specifications and Signal Characteristics
The 1762-OB32T offers fast signal response for critical control applications. Its turn-on delay is only 0.5 milliseconds for resistive loads. The turn-off delay measures 4.0 milliseconds for reliable de-energization. These fast switching times support high-speed automation sequences effectively. The module maintains an off-state leakage current of just 0.1 mA maximum. This low leakage prevents accidental load activation in sensitive circuits.
The on-state voltage drop is only 0.3 VDC at 0.5 Amps per channel. This low drop ensures efficient power delivery to your output devices. The module uses solid-state technology for long mechanical life and reliability. Solid-state outputs eliminate contact wear and arcing concerns completely. This technology makes the module ideal for frequent switching applications.
