Product Summary
The Allen-Bradley 1762-OW8 provides eight reliable relay outputs for MicroLogix controllers. This solid-state module switches AC/DC loads up to 265V AC or 125V DC. Engineers use it to control contactors, solenoids, and indicators in industrial automation systems.
Product Procurement & Buyer Guide
Why Choose the Allen-Bradley 1762-OW8?
This 1762-OW8 module expands I/O capacity for MicroLogix 1100, 1200, and 1400 PLCs. Its rackless design reduces spare parts inventory. The module supports DIN rail or panel mounting for flexible installation.
Key Electrical Specifications
The 1762-OW8 operates on a voltage range of 5 to 265V AC and 5 to 125V DC. Each output point handles a maximum continuous current of 2.5 Amps. The module offers a maximum continuous current of 16 Amps per module.
Output Group Isolation
This module houses two isolated output groups. Group 0 contains outputs 0 through 3. Group 1 contains outputs 4 through 7. This isolation provides flexibility for controlling separate voltage circuits.
Signal Performance Data
The signal delay time for each channel is exactly 10 milliseconds. This applies to both ON-to-OFF and OFF-to-ON transitions. Engineers must account for this delay in time-critical control logic.
Power Supply Distance Rating
Install this module at least six modules away from the host power supply. This distance rating ensures stable power delivery. Proper placement prevents voltage drops and operational faults.
Mechanical Mounting Options
Mount the module on EN 50 022 35 x 7.5mm or 35 x 15mm DIN rails. For high vibration environments, use DIN rail end anchors. For extreme vibration conditions, choose panel mounting instead.
Typical Load Applications
Use this module to energize magnetic contactors and relay coils. It also controls solenoid-actuated devices effectively. The module signals RUN and START commands to VFDs and motor starters.
Additional Discrete Device Control
The module energizes pilot lamps and indicator lights reliably. It also drives alarm annunciator panels, sirens, and buzzers. This versatility makes it ideal for general discrete output applications.
