Information About 1771-OW16

The 1771-OW16 is part of the Allen-Bradley 1771 product series and provides electromechanical relay outputs arranged in two isolated groups of eight channels each. The module supports both 24–250 VAC and 24–150 VDC loads, offering a combination of fixed N.O. channels and selectable N.O./N.C. channels. Installed in 1771-A1B through A4B or later chassis, it interfaces with field wiring through the 1771-WN wiring arm, enabling fast installation and removal without disturbing field connections. Designed with conformal coating and individual channel isolation, the 1771-OW16 ensures reliable operation even in electrically noisy or demanding industrial environments.

Key Features:

  • Sixteen Relay Outputs: Includes 8 normally open channels and 8 selectable N.O./N.C. channels for flexible circuit control.
  • Wide Voltage Compatibility: Supports AC loads from 24–250 VAC and DC loads from 24–150 VDC.
  • Isolated Output Groups: Two groups of eight channels provide individual isolation and improved fault tolerance.
  • Backplane-Powered Design: Draws 1300 mA from the 1771 chassis backplane with no external power requirements.
  • Durable Electromechanical Relays: Rated for up to 300,000 operations with conformal coating for harsh environments.
  • Diagnostic Indicators: Includes 16 status LEDs, one for each channel, to simplify monitoring and troubleshooting.
  • Reliable Switching Performance: Typical signal delays of 45 ms (AC off) and 50 ms (DC off) with a bounce time of 4 ms.
  • Compatible Wiring Arm: Uses the 1771-WN terminal block for convenient and secure wiring.

The 1771-OW16 delivers durable and configurable relay output performance suited for PLC-5 and 1771-based control systems.

Frequently Asked Questions about 1771-OW16
Question: What types of outputs are supported by the 1771-OW16?
Date Update:28/05/2025
Answer:

This module provides 8 Normally Open (N.O.) channels and 8 selectable N.O./N.C. channels, offering flexible relay control. Each output is relay-based, which ensures electrical isolation and reliable operation for both resistive and inductive loads, though external surge suppression is strongly recommended.

Question: Can the 1771-OW16 be used for both AC and DC outputs?
Date Update:28/05/2025
Answer:

Yes, it is compatible with both AC (24–250V) and DC (24–150V) voltage ranges. This dual compatibility makes it ideal for applications that require switching a mix of AC-driven and DC-driven devices, such as motor starters, solenoids, or alarms.

Question: Can I test the 1771-OW16 relay output using a continuity check with a multimeter?
Date Update:28/05/2025
Answer:

No, using a continuity test with a multimeter is not the correct method if the relay output is energized and voltage is present across the contacts. Continuity tests are intended for checking direct closed-loop circuits without voltage applied. If the output is ON (LED lit), and the contacts are powered, the presence of voltage prevents continuity mode from functioning properly and may result in a false "open line" reading.
To properly test the output, you should:

  • Set your multimeter to DC or AC voltage mode, depending on the load type (relay supports both).
  • Place the probes between the output terminal (e.g., "output 00") and its corresponding common terminal (e.g., "common 00").
  • If wired correctly and the output is energized, the meter should display the expected output voltage.

However, if no load or power source is wired to the relay contacts, a continuity check is acceptable to verify contact closure mechanically, but only when no voltage is present. For accurate verification, always clarify whether the output is wired and powered before choosing the appropriate test method.

Question: What is the typical switching performance of the module?
Date Update:28/05/2025
Answer:

The 1771-OW16 offers a switching frequency of 1/3 Hz at full rated load. The operate and release time is typically 10 milliseconds, and the bounce time is about 4 milliseconds, ensuring clean and accurate signal control during each switching cycle.

Question: Is the 1771-OW16 still in production?
Date Update:28/05/2025
Answer:

No, the 1771-OW16 was discontinued on March 31, 2021 by Rockwell Automation. There is no direct plug-in replacement, and users are advised to use an engineering replacement strategy, which may involve migrating to newer ControlLogix platforms or redesigning the output system.
