Allen-Bradley 1769-OW8 Eight-Channel Relay Output Module

The Allen-Bradley 1769-OW8 Eight-Channel Relay Output Module is a Compact I/O relay module designed for use with Allen-Bradley CompactLogix systems. It provides eight isolated relay contacts that can switch external AC or DC loads, enabling simple on/off control of field devices from a CompactLogix controller. Each channel is rated for 5–265 V AC or 5–125 V DC and can carry up to 2 A, giving a total module capacity of 8 A across all channels. The 1769-OW8 is designed for installation in a 1769 Compact I/O chassis and communicates with the controller over the 1769 backplane, integrating with other digital I/O modules for centralized control. Typical use cases include energizing solenoids, relays, contactors, lighting, valves, or other relay-driven actuators in factory automation and machine control. The module supports AC or DC load switching within the specified voltage and current ranges, and it is part of the CompactLogix 1769 I/O family, enabling scalable control architectures with straightforward wiring to field devices.
