Product Summary
The Allen-Bradley 1762-OX6I is a robust MicroLogix 1200 expansion module. It provides six individually isolated Form C relay outputs. This module controls diverse automation devices with both AC and DC loads. It operates reliably within a wide voltage range.
Why Choose the 1762-OX6I for Your System?
This module offers true electrical isolation for each output channel. You can connect different power sources to each relay safely. The 1762-OX6I handles voltages from 5-125VDC and up to 264VAC. Each output carries a continuous current of 7 amps. This makes it perfect for switching motors, valves, and solenoids.
Engineers value the flexible Form C contact design. Each channel has one Normally Open and one Normally Closed terminal. This allows you to control two separate circuits with one relay. It simplifies wiring and reduces the total component count in your panel.
Compatibility and System Expansion Limits
The 1762-OX6I works with three MicroLogix controller families. You can install up to four modules with a MicroLogix 1100. A MicroLogix 1200 system supports six of these output modules. For larger systems, the MicroLogix 1400 handles up to seven units. This scalability lets you expand your I/O count as needed.
Step-by-Step Installation Guide for the 1762-OX6I
Start by choosing your mounting method based on vibration levels. For standard environments, snap the module onto a DIN rail. Use end anchors on both sides to secure the module in place. For high-vibration areas, use two Panhead screws per module instead. This method provides a much more rigid mechanical connection.
Always maintain a 2-inch clearance around the module for airflow. This space prevents overheating and ensures reliable operation. Connect the module to your controller using the provided ribbon cable. The cable has a female bus connector that fits securely. Ensure the power supply distance rating does not exceed 6 for best performance.
Performance Specifications and Signal Timing
The module delivers fast and predictable switching performance. The maximum signal delay for turning ON is 10 milliseconds. For turning OFF, the maximum delay is 20 milliseconds. Typical delays are even faster at 6ms for ON and 12ms for OFF. This speed is sufficient for most discrete control applications.
The bus current draw is consistent at 110 mA on both 5V and 24V DC rails. This low power consumption minimizes the load on your system power supply. The module operates in temperatures from 0 to 55 degrees Celsius. It also functions safely at altitudes up to 2000 meters.
Procurement Guide for the 1762-OX6I
When ordering, verify your controller compatibility first. This module is part number 1762-OX6I from Rockwell Automation. It fits the MicroLogix 1200 product family perfectly. The compact dimensions are 90 x 40 x 87 millimeters. Its shipping weight is approximately 220 grams.
Choose this module when you need individual output isolation. It is ideal for mixed voltage applications. Use it to drive loads requiring different power sources in one panel. The isolated groups prevent ground loops and cross-talk between channels.
