Allen-Bradley 1762-OW16 Relay Output Module

Description

The Allen-Bradley 1762-OW16 Relay Output Module is an industrial-grade PLC output module, part of the Allen-Bradley microcontroller product line, designed for automated industrial control systems. While direct technical specifications for this exact model are unavailable, it shares core functionality with comparable Allen-Bradley output modules, including the 1762-OB16 and 1746-OW16. Key inferred and comparable features include industrial-grade construction, UL certification, and compatibility with 5-24V DC operating voltage, with support for 50 Hz output frequency. Like similar modules, it likely features 16 relay output points, configured in 2 groups of 8 points each, using normally open (N.O.) relay contacts to provide reliable electrical isolation, protecting control systems from external electrical interference. Expected performance metrics include 10ms signal delay in both on and off states under maximum resistive load, backplane current draw of 0.17A at 5V DC and 0.18A at 24V DC, maximum heat dissipation of 5.7W, and a maximum continuous current rating of 16A. This module is engineered for flexible deployment in mixed-voltage industrial environments, supporting a wide range of automated manufacturing, process control, and machinery operation applications.
