1746-OB16

The 1746-OB16 output module, part of Allen Bradley's SLC 500 series, excels in facilitating automated control systems. With a total of 16 outputs grouped together for streamlined functionality, this module is rated for a voltage of 24V DC, ensuring compatibility with many signal output requirements. The operational voltage range extends from 10V to a maximum of 50V DC, providing flexibility in various applications.

In terms of performance, the module has a heat dissipation rating of 0.388 watts per individual output point, accumulating to a total output heat dissipation of 7.6 watts across the module. It has a minimum heat dissipation requirement of 1.4 watts, ensuring appropriate thermal management during operation.

Backplane current consumption is specified at 0.28 Amps when operating at 5V DC, with no current draw at 24V DC. When it comes to response times, users can expect a signal delay of 0.1 milliseconds when switching on and 1 ms for switch-off under maximum resistive load conditions. The maximum off-state leakage is recorded at 1 mA, while the module requires a minimum load current of 1 mA. Additionally, the maximum voltage drop in the on-state is limited to 1.2 volts when subjected to a current of 0.5 Amps.

Surge capability is rated at 3 Amps for a duration of 10 milliseconds per output, making the module suitable for handling transient conditions. For ease of installation, the module is equipped with a removable terminal block, facilitating accessible connections and maintenance.
