Information About 1746-OW16

The 1746-OW16 is part of the SLC 500 family of Allen-Bradley discrete output modules, designed for versatile switching in mixed-voltage environments. It features two output groups, each with eight channels and a dedicated common terminal, allowing one group to operate with AC voltage and the other with DC, or both with the same type of voltage. The module eliminates the need for interposing relays when controlling mixed-voltage loads, reducing panel space and wiring complexity. With a step response of 60 ms input and 2.5 ms output, it provides efficient performance across various automation tasks. To ensure longevity and protect against voltage transients, the use of external surge suppression devices is recommended.

Key Features:

  • Output Channels: Sixteen normally open relay outputs for flexible switching.
  • Voltage Range: Supports 5–265 VAC and 5–125 VDC operation, accommodating diverse control requirements.
  • Grouping: Configured into two groups of eight points each, with independent common terminals for AC or DC assignment.
  • Current Ratings: Provides 1.5 A per output at 120 VAC and 1.2 A at 24 VDC, with higher make/break ratings for various voltages.
  • Relay Type: Dry contact outputs eliminate the need for interposing relays when switching mixed voltages.
  • Step Response: Fast response time of 60 ms in and 2.5 ms out for efficient process control.
  • Protective Measures: External surge suppression recommended per channel to prevent relay wear and extend service life.
  • Integration: Designed for seamless installation in SLC 500 chassis, supporting scalable and reliable automation systems.

The 1746-OW16 delivers the reliability and precision required for discrete control in industrial automation environments.

Frequently Asked Questions about 1746-OW16
Question: What is the 1746-OW16?
Date Update:30/05/2025
Answer:

The 1746-OW16 is a 16-point relay output module designed for use with the Allen-Bradley SLC 500 series of programmable logic controllers (PLCs). It provides 16 digital relay outputs, each rated at 24V DC. The module allows the PLC to control external devices, such as solenoids, relays, or small motors, based on the logic programmed in the controller.

Question: Where can I find the manual for the 1746-OW16?
Date Update:30/05/2025
Answer:

The manual for the 1746-OW16 is available on the Rockwell Automation website. You can find the user manual and product documentation by searching for 1746-OW16 under the SLC 500 I/O modules section. The manual contains detailed information on installation, wiring, configuration, troubleshooting, and electrical specifications.

Question: How do I wire the 1746-OW16?
Date Update:30/05/2025
Answer:

Wiring the 1746-OW16 involves connecting it to the SLC 500 system and the devices that will be controlled. Here’s how to wire the module:

  • Connect the 24V DC power supply to the power terminals on the module (typically labeled V and COM).
  • Connect the relay outputs:
    Each relay output has three terminals: NO (Normally Open), NC (Normally Closed), and COM (Common).
    The NO terminal connects to the controlled device (e.g., relay, solenoid, or actuator).
    The COM terminal should be connected to the external power supply for the controlled device.
    The NC terminal is used if you require a Normally Closed contact configuration.
  • Connect the wiring to the PLC: Insert the 1746-OW16 module into the SLC 500 chassis and ensure that the wiring is secure.
  • Check the status LEDs: Verify that the LED indicators on the module show proper operation (green for ON, red for faults).

Refer to the manual for detailed wiring diagrams based on your specific application.

Question: What is the maximum current the 1746-OW16 can handle?
Date Update:30/05/2025
Answer:

The 1746-OW16 can handle a maximum current of 2A per output point, with a total maximum of 5A for all outputs (when using a shared common). It is important to ensure that the connected devices do not exceed the current rating of the module to avoid damage or overheating.

Question: Can the 1746-OW16 be used with other Allen-Bradley controllers?
Date Update:30/05/2025
Answer:

The 1746-OW16 is specifically designed for use with the SLC 500 series of controllers. It is not compatible with ControlLogix or CompactLogix controllers, which use different types of I/O modules and communication interfaces. For use with other controllers, select the appropriate module designed for that system.
