Product Overview

The Allen-Bradley 1762-OW16 is a robust 16-point relay output module designed to expand the I/O capabilities of MicroLogix 1100, 1200, and 1500 controllers. Each output is an individually isolated (in groups) mechanical relay, capable of switching both AC and DC loads. This versatility makes it a staple in industrial panels for controlling everything from motor starters to status pilot lights.

At Xiongba Automation, we understand that when a relay fails, your production stops. We specialize in sourcing Verified Hardware that has been inspected for the physical and electrical integrity required to withstand the high-cycle demands of your factory floor.

Technical Specifications:

• Number of Outputs: 16 normally-open (form A) relays.

• Operating Voltage: 5-265V AC / 5-125V DC.

• Compatibility: MicroLogix 1100, 1200, 1500 series.

• Bus Current Draw: 120mA @ 5V DC, 250mA @ 24V DC.

• Mounting: DIN rail or panel mount.

Verification & Risk Control

Relay modules are mechanical in nature, meaning they wear out. Xiongba Automation protects your investment with a 5-step audit for the 1762-OW16:

1. Terminal Block Inspection: We verify that the removable terminal block is intact, with no signs of heat discoloration or "arcing" marks from over-current loads.

2. Relay Click Test: We perform a physical power-on check to ensure the internal relays actuate cleanly. We look for units that have not been "exhausted" by high-frequency switching.

3. Expansion Ribbon Cable Audit: The flat ribbon cable on the side of the 1762-OW16 is its lifeline. We inspect it for any kinks, tears, or pin corrosion to ensure a perfect bus connection.

4. 12-Month Hardware Warranty: 1-year B2B warranty is standard. Note: This covers hardware defects. It does not cover "welded contacts" caused by external short circuits or inductive kickback from unsuppressed loads.

5. Global Logistics Ready: We use shock-absorbent packaging to ensure the delicate mechanical relays inside the 1762-OW16 arrive in perfect calibration.

Project Lifecycle Support 

1. Maintenance Stage (MRO): As the MicroLogix line ages, finding reliable 1762-OW16 spares becomes critical. We maintain a "Ready-to-Ship" inventory to minimize your downtime.

2. Procurement Stage (Real Order):

   • Share Your Target Price: This is a high-volume part. Knowing your budget helps us provide the most competitive quote, especially for bulk orders (5+ units).

   • Visual Proof: We provide high-resolution photos of the specific unit you will receive, including the Series and Revision tag.

FAQ 

Q: Is the 1762-OW16 hot-swappable? A: No. You must remove power from the MicroLogix controller before adding or removing expansion modules. Failure to do so can damage the expansion bus.

Q: Can I mix AC and DC loads on the same 1762-OW16? A: Yes, because the outputs are arranged in isolated groups. However, you must ensure you do not exceed the voltage and current ratings for each common group. Xiongba Automation supplies the hardware; wiring design is your responsibility.

Q: What is the difference between Series A and Series B/C? A: Newer series usually feature improved internal relay components or better noise immunity. While generally backward compatible, we recommend checking your software configuration (RSLogix 500) to ensure the hardware series is correctly selected.
