Allen-Bradley 1762-OW8 8-Point VAC VDC Relay Output Module

Allen-Bradley 1762-OW8 is an eight-point VAC/VDC relay output module designed for MicroLogix 1200 controllers. It provides eight relay contacts capable of switching AC or DC loads, with a per-output rating of 2.5 A at up to 240 V AC, and a load voltage range of 5–265 VAC or 5–125 VDC. This module is used to control external devices such as signaling lights, coils, or small actuators directly from Ladder logic within a MicroLogix 1200 system. The electronics draw roughly 80 mA at 5 VDC (about 0.40 W) or 90 mA at 24 VDC (about 2.16 W), depending on the supply, and it includes electrical-noise considerations consistent with industrial environments (ESD immunity per IEC 1000-4-2). As a member of Rockwell Automation’s 1762 I/O family, the OW8 provides a compact eight-channel relay solution that integrates with the MicroLogix 1200 backplane for straightforward expansion of control capabilities.
