Product Overview

The 1769-OW16 is a high-density electromechanical relay output module for Allen-Bradley CompactLogix and MicroLogix 1500 families. It provides 16 normally open (N.O.) contacts, offering a robust solution for switching diverse AC and DC loads within a single slot.

With two isolated groups of eight points each, engineers can control multiple circuits with varying voltage levels or phases. Its mechanical relay design ensures zero off-state leakage current, making it ideal for safety interlocks, pilot lights, and applications where solid-state leakage could cause false "ON" states.

  • Power Supplies: Designed for use with 1769-PA2, 1769-PB2, 1769-PA4, or 1769-PB4 modules.

  • Mounting: Supports 35mm DIN rail or direct panel mounting for high-vibration environments.


Common Technical Questions

  • Can I switch 120V AC and 24V DC simultaneously?
    Yes. With two isolated groups (0–7 and 8–15), you can supply 120V AC to Group 1 and 24V DC to Group 2 without electrical interference.

  • Why is there a 10 ms switching delay?
    The module uses electromechanical relays, which require physical contact movement. This, combined with contact debounce logic, results in a 10 ms delay. For microsecond switching applications, a solid-state module like the 1769-OB16 is recommended.
