Allen-Bradley MicroLogix 1762-OW16 Relay Output Module 1762OW16

Description:

The Allen-Bradley 1762-OW16 is a 16-point relay output module used with MicroLogix controllers for switching AC or DC loads in small to mid-sized industrial control systems. It provides isolated relay contacts that allow flexible control of motors, solenoids, contactors, and pilot devices from a PLC platform. Commonly installed in packaging machines, conveyor systems, assembly equipment, and standalone production cells, this module expands output capacity for discrete control applications. Maintenance teams and system integrators use this module for system expansion, replacement of failed output cards, retrofit projects, and maintaining MicroLogix-based automation systems.

Applications:

The 1762-OW16 relay output module is used to control field devices that require electromechanical relay switching, including motor starters, valves, alarms, and lighting circuits. It is widely applied in manufacturing facilities, material handling systems, water treatment panels, and OEM machinery where reliable discrete output control and electrical isolation between the PLC and field devices are required.
