PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
Revision scope: These specifications describe 1769-OW16/A (Series A). Check the corresponding technical data before specifying another hardware series.
The Allen-Bradley 1769-OW16 CompactLogix Output Module provides sixteen normally-open relay contact points for industrial control systems. The module arranges its sixteen outputs into two isolated groups of eight points each. It supports an operating voltage range of 5 to 265 V AC and 5 to 125 V DC. Control engineers use this unit to interface control logic with external actuators and field indicators.
This output module handles a maximum current of 2.5 A per point. Total module current capacity reaches up to 20 A across all terminals. The hardware produces a maximum heat dissipation of 4.75 W during standard operation. CompactLogix assemblies integrate this module directly into the system backplane to drive varied AC and DC field loads.
