Information About 1771-OW

The 1771-OW belongs to the 1771 product bulletin family and provides four groups of relay outputs, with each group containing two independently selectable channels. The module allows users to choose between N.O. and N.C. contact orientation per channel, supporting both AC and DC voltage ranges for field devices. Designed for mounting in any standard 1771 I/O chassis (except the processor slot), it interfaces through the 1771-WD wiring arm to simplify installation and maintenance. With backplane-powered coil operation and conformal coating for added protection, the module ensures dependable performance in demanding industrial environments.

Key Features:

  • Eight Selectable Relay Outputs: Channels can be individually set as N.O. or N.C., allowing flexible control behavior.
  • Wide Operating Voltage Range: Supports 24–138 VAC RMS and 24–125 VDC loads for versatile device compatibility.
  • Grouped Output Structure: Four groups of two channels each, each group with its own common connection.
  • High Current Capacity: Provides up to 1 A per channel (30 W max at 30V AC/DC; 0.25 A at 120V AC/DC).
  • Backplane-Powered Design: Draws up to 700 mA from the chassis backplane with no external power supply required.
  • Relay Isolation: Output contacts are electrically isolated from logic circuitry for improved safety and signal separation.
  • Rugged Construction: Conformal coating and operational ratings support use in harsh or dusty industrial environments.
  • Easy Field Wiring: Uses the 1771-WD wiring arm for rapid terminal access and straightforward installation.

The 1771-OW delivers the controllability and durability needed for reliable discrete output switching in legacy 1771-series automation systems.

Frequently Asked Questions about 1771-OW
Question: What is the 1771-OW?
Date Update:28/05/2025
Answer:

The 1771-OW is a selectable relay output module from Allen-Bradley's 1771 I/O product line. It provides eight individually selectable relay channels organized into four groups, each with two outputs and a shared common terminal. Each relay can be configured as Normally Open (N.O.) or Normally Closed (N.C.), enabling versatile output switching for AC or DC resistive loads. It is ideal for controlling actuators, solenoids, contactors, and other electromechanical devices.

Question: How is the module powered and what is its consumption?
Date Update:28/05/2025
Answer:

This module is powered directly from the chassis backplane and requires up to 700 mA to operate all eight relays. It has a thermal dissipation rating between 11.3 and 12.7 BTU/hr, and a power dissipation range from 3.3 to 3.7 Watts, so adequate ventilation should be ensured within the panel enclosure.

Question: Does the 1771-OW provide any onboard diagnostics or indicators?
Date Update:28/05/2025
Answer:

No, the module itself does not have built-in LED status indicators for each output. All monitoring and diagnostics must be performed via the PLC controller logic and any connected visualization systems. This is consistent with many legacy 1771 modules which rely on external diagnostics.

Question: Is the 1771-OW compatible with both AC and DC outputs?
Date Update:28/05/2025
Answer:

Yes, the module supports both AC (24–138V RMS) and DC (24–125V) signal switching. However, ensure that the connected devices comply with the specified current limits for long-term reliable operation. Also, make sure DC polarity is observed correctly when wiring devices to avoid incorrect activation.

Question: Is the 1771-OW still in production?
Date Update:28/05/2025
Answer:

No, the 1771-OW was officially discontinued on September 29, 2023, as confirmed by Rockwell Automation. It is no longer available for purchase through standard distribution channels. Users are encouraged to remove references to this module from new designs and begin planning system upgrades or migration to newer platforms like ControlLogix.
