Product Summary
The 1762-OB8 expands your MicroLogix 1200 controller with eight solid-state digital outputs. This module operates on a 24V DC system with a range of 20.4 to 26.4 Volts. It provides reliable sourcing output control for various industrial automation tasks. Engineers trust this module for its fast signal response and robust build.
Expert Technical Evaluation & Performance Review
The 1762-OB8 delivers exceptional switching performance for demanding applications. Each output point handles a maximum current load of 0.5A. The total aggregate current for the entire module reaches 4A. This module also supports a 2A intermittent surge for 10ms. This surge repeats every two seconds, handling momentary load spikes.
Signal delay times are critically low for precise control. The ON-state delay measures just 0.1 milliseconds. The OFF-state delay is slightly longer at 1.0 millisecond for resistive loads. This performance ensures rapid actuator response in high-speed lines.
The module’s environmental tolerance is equally impressive. It operates within a temperature range of 0 to 55 degrees Celsius. The unit withstands non-condensing humidity levels from 5 to 95 percent. Its robust design resists a 30G shock and 5G vibration at 500 Hertz. This durability guarantees stable operation in harsh factory conditions.
Electrical isolation protects your system from faults. The module features group-to-backplane isolation tested at 1200V AC or 1697V DC for one second. This isolation prevents ground loops and voltage transients. The unit also draws only 115 mA from the 5V backplane. Its power dissipation is a low 1.6 Watts, reducing thermal stress.
Product Procurement & Buyer Guide
Procurement managers value the 1762-OB8 for its clear specifications. The module mounts easily on a standard DIN rail. It integrates seamlessly with the MicroLogix 1200 controller system. The maximum power supply distance extends to six module lengths. This flexibility simplifies cabinet layout and wiring planning.
Application engineers appreciate the module’s sourcing output configuration. The ON-state voltage stays below 1.0V DC for efficient switching. The maximum leakage current in any state is just 1.0 mA. This low leakage prevents false triggering of connected devices.
The unit comes with essential certifications for global use. It holds UL, c-UL, and CE safety approvals. These certifications simplify compliance for international machine builders. The module’s compact dimensions are 90 x 87 x 40.4 millimeters. Its light weight of 210 grams reduces stress on the DIN rail.
Buyers should verify the operating voltage range before purchase. The module requires a stable 24V DC supply within its specified window. This module is a solid-state type, not a relay output. Solid-state outputs offer faster switching and longer life cycles. They are ideal for high-speed applications with frequent cycling.
