Allen-Bradley 5069-OW16 Compact Relay Output Module

Allen-Bradley 5069-OW16 CompactLogix 16-Channel Relay Output Module is a non-isolated, 16-point normally open relay output card designed for the Compact 5000 I/O family. It provides 16 NO relay contacts that can be wired through a removable terminal block to switch external field devices such as solenoids, valves, relays, or other actuators in automated systems, making it a compact, scalable solution for remote I/O needs. The module plugs into a CompactLogix I/O chassis and communicates with the controller over the 5069 I/O backplane, integrating with 5069-series controllers and newer members of the CompactLogix family in the same ecosystem. Its removable terminal block simplifies field wiring and maintenance, while the backplane connection ensures synchronized timing and status reporting with the central controller. In addition to its core relay functionality, the 5069-OW16 is specified for operation in typical industrial environments with an operating temperature range of 0 to 60 °C, storage temperatures from -40 to 85 °C, and relative humidity up to 95% RH. This makes it suitable for control tasks such as energizing loads on demand, sequencing devices, and integrating with broader machine control architectures that leverage the 5069 CompactLogix I/O platform.
