Essential details:1746-OW16 SLC 500 Digital Contact Output Module Allen Bradley
The Allen-Bradley 1746-OW16 is an Allen-Bradley discrete output module used with SLC 500 product family. This module is a relay output module or sometimes referred as dry contact output module.
This module is ideal for use in applications where a mixed of voltage categories are existing. Voltage categories such as DC voltage with range of 5 -125 VDC and 5 – 265 VA. It has Two (2) input groups with One (1) common terminal per group. These groupings allow one group to operate with a DC voltage while the other group with an AC voltage. It may also be used with both DC voltage or both AC voltage inputs. Use of this module eliminates the need of implementing interposing circuitry.
When operated with 120VAC, the break Ampere rating is 15 A while the break rating is 1.5 A. For 240VAC, the make Ampere rating is 7.5 A and break Ampere rating is 0.75 A. Continuous Current for AC operation is 2.5 A. When operated with 125 VDC, make contact rating is 0.22 A and the break contact rating is 1.2 A. At 125 VDC, the continuous Current is 1.0 A and 2.0 A at 24VDC operation. Surge suppression devices is recommended to ne installed externally for each channel. Use of these devices prevents damage to the module thus, extends the module’s lifespan.
