1746-OW16

The Allen Bradley part 1746-OW16 is classified as a digital output module within the SLC 500 series, providing essential capabilities for automation and control tasks. It supports a total of 16 outputs, with each section divided into groups of 8 points for common connections. This configuration allows for efficient use in control strategies involving multiple devices. Operating under Normally Open conditions, the module is versatile in creating desired circuit configurations.

The module operates with a voltage range at 5 volts DC from 5 to 125 volts, while it can manage a voltage range of 5 to 265 volts DC under 24 volts, which enables broad compatibility with various systems.

For load handling, the 1746-OW16 requires a minimum load current of 10 mA at 5 volts DC, ensuring it can activate connected devices effectively. The backplane current consumption ratings are 0.170 Amps at 5 volts DC and 0.180 Amps at 24 volts DC, representing efficient power usage.

One notable feature includes a continuous current capability of up to 16.0 Amps AC, allowing users to drive significant loads with a maximum output of 8.0 Amps per common point efficiently. This module minimizes maximum off-state leakage to 0 milliamps, ensuring energy efficiency and performance reliability.

Signal delays are precisely calibrated, with a maximum resistive load condition leading to a 10-millisecond delay for both on and off states. Each output point consumes only 0.033 watts, contributing to a minimum required wattage of 5.170 watts for the entire module. Overall, the 1746-OW16 digital output module provides robust functionality aligned with the needs of industrial automation applications.
