Allen-Bradley 1762-OB16 Digital Output Module

The Allen-Bradley 1762-OB16 is a 16-point, 24V DC digital output module designed to expand MicroLogix-based control systems in compact industrial automation setups. It uses sourcing transistor outputs to drive DC field devices such as solenoids, relays, contactors, valves, alarms, and pilot lights, delivering up to 0.5 A per point with group isolation to keep output channels electrically segregated in a crowded control panel. Compatible with MicroLogix 1100/1200/1400 controllers, the module can be mounted on a DIN rail or a panel, supports 24V DC operation, and is specified for an ambient temperature range of 0 to 55°C, making it suitable for conveyor lines, packaging machines, and standalone production cells. Common replacements listed by Allen-Bradley include 1762-OW16, 1762-OB8, and 1769-OB16, reflecting its role as a space-efficient, modular solution for increasing discrete output capacity within existing MicroLogix-based control architectures.
