This solid-state module provides sixteen (16) sourcing outputs at 24 VDC, making it a cost-effective solution for expanding I\/O capacity in industrial automation systems. By adding this module, you can energize actuators, pilot lights, relay coils, and other discrete devices without replacing an entire controller, reducing downtime and overall system cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eParameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1762-OB16\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRockwell Automation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOutput Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSolid State, Sourcing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNumber of Outputs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16 (one group)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOutput Voltage Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20.4 – 26.4 VDC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSignal Delay, On\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.1 ms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSignal Delay, Off\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.0 ms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBus Current Draw (max)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e175 mA @ 5V DC (0.88 W)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Surge Current\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.0 A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMounting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDIN Rail\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Operating Altitude\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2000 m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese specifications ensure reliable switching and energy efficiency. The fast signal delays (0.1 ms on, 1.0 ms off) minimize cycle time, while the low bus current draw reduces power consumption, contributing to lower operational costs over the module's lifespan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIndustry Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 1762-OB16 excels in manufacturing lines where additional output points are required for solenoid valves, motor starters, and status indicators. For example, in a packaging machine, this module can control multiple pneumatic actuators and warning lights simultaneously. In material handling systems, it reliably drives conveyor motor contactors. By integrating this module, you gain scalable I\/O without upgrading the entire controller, maximizing return on investment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation \u0026amp; Setup Guidance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMount the Allen-Bradley 1762-OB16 on a DIN rail within a panel that has proper grounding. Maintain at least 50.8 mm (2 inches) clearance on all sides for ventilation. Connect the 24 VDC power supply (20.4–26.4 VDC range) to the module terminals. The 16 sourcing outputs share a common group; wire each load accordingly. For high-vibration environments, install a DIN rail end anchor. Ensure the module is no more than six modules away from the power supply to maintain voltage integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility \u0026amp; Integration\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 1762-OB16 is compatible with MicroLogix 1100, 1200, and 1400 controllers. It can be installed as one of up to four expansions (MicroLogix 1100), six (MicroLogix 1200), or seven (MicroLogix 1400). The module communicates via the backplane and does not require additional communication protocol configuration. It works seamlessly with Allen-Bradley programming software (RSLogix 500 or Connected Components Workbench) for easy integration into existing control systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSelection Guide \u0026amp; Purchasing Advice\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore purchasing the 1762-OB16, verify your controller model and the number of available expansion slots. Also confirm that your power supply can handle the additional bus current (175 mA at 5V DC). For reliable long-term operation, consider stocking a spare module to minimize downtime.
