Allen-Bradley 1762-OW16 16-Channel Output Module

Allen-Bradley 1762-OW16 is a 16-channel VAC/VDC relay output module designed for the MicroLogix 1200 system. It adds sixteen relay outputs to a MicroLogix 1200 PLC, allowing the controller to switch both AC and DC loads from its digital output section. As part of the 1762 MicroLogix expansion I/O family, the 1762-OW16 plugs into the MicroLogix 1200 backplane and is configured through Rockwell Automation software to match your I/O map. Each channel provides a relay contact that can drive field devices such as relays, solenoids, contactors, valves, or indicators, while providing electrical isolation between the PLC and the controlled equipment. The 1762-OW16 is catalogued as a 16-point expansion module for MicroLogix 1200 systems and is used in applications where multiple discrete actuators must be controlled from a compact I/O rack. Typical use cases include conveyors, machine tooling, pumps, clamps, and other automation tasks requiring reliable, isolated outputs to energize field devices. With sixteen outputs, this module extends the MicroLogix 1200’s capacity without increasing processor I/O count, enabling scalable control of small- to mid-sized automation tasks.
