Allen-Bradley+1756-OW16I

Description

The Allen-Bradley 1756-OW16I Module, also known as the ControlLogix Relay Output Module, is an I/O (Input/Output) module used within the ControlLogix Programmable Automation Controller (PAC) system by Rockwell Automation. It provides 16 individual relay outputs to control various devices within the automation system.

Product Name: Allen-Bradley 1756-OW16I ControlLogix Relay Output Module

Product Description:

This module allows the ControlLogix system to:

• Drive various devices like:
  • Solenoids
  • Contactors
  • Motors (with additional motor drivers)
  • Indicator lights
• Control the on/off state of these devices based on the control program running on the PAC.
• Provide isolation between the internal control circuitry of the PAC and the external devices being controlled, enhancing safety and protecting the PAC from potential damage caused by external faults.

Key Features:

• Number of channels: Offers 16 independent relay outputs.
• Output type: Provides normally open (NO) relay contacts for each channel.
• Output rating: Each relay contact has a specific current and voltage rating, defining the maximum power it can handle (e.g., 2A at 24VDC, 6A at 120VAC).
• LED status indicators: Each channel has LED indicators to visually represent the state of the relay output (on or off).

Additional Information:

• The specific functionalities and configuration options might depend on the ControlLogix system model and revision in which the module is used.

• While the 1756-OW16I module itself is not designed for safety applications, it can be used in conjunction with other safety-rated components and control strategies to create a safety-instrumented system (SIS) application.
