Allen-Bradley 1769-OW16 Relay Output Module 1769OW16

Description:

The Allen-Bradley 1769-OW16 Relay Output Module (1769OW16) is used in CompactLogix and MicroLogix control systems to provide discrete relay output control to field devices. Commonly installed in local or distributed I/O assemblies within control panels, packaging machines, material handling systems, and process automation equipment where dependable relay-based output switching is required. Maintenance teams, OEMs, and system integrators use this module for I/O expansion, replacement of failed output modules, panel upgrades, and integration of relay-controlled field devices into PLC systems.

Applications:

The 1769-OW16 relay output module is widely used in industrial automation environments to control contactors, solenoids, motor starters, indicator lights, alarms, and other discrete output devices. Its relay outputs allow switching of both AC and DC loads, making it suitable for manufacturing plants, water treatment facilities, food processing lines, and general industrial machinery where flexible and reliable output control is essential.
