Product Description

The 1769-OA8 is an 8-point AC discrete output module for Allen Bradley CompactLogix and MicroLogix 1500 controllers. Designed to interface directly with AC-powered field devices, it delivers high-density, reliable switching for industrial actuators, motor starters, solenoids, and indicator lights. Featuring solid-state outputs with optical isolation, the 1769-OA8 protects the backplane from surges and electrical noise while providing rapid response times and long-term durability in harsh environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use the 1769-OA8 for DC loads?
A: No. This module is specifically designed for AC switching. For DC applications, consider the 1769-OB16.

Q: Does the module include fuses?
A: No, internal fusing is not provided. External fuses are recommended for circuit protection.

Q: What terminal block should I use?
A: The module uses the 1769-RTBN18 removable terminal block, allowing module replacement without disconnecting field wiring.
