The Allen-Bradley 1746-OB16 SLC 500 output module delivers precise digital control. This unit operates as a discrete DC output module for your automation system. It features sixteen output channels in a single group.
This module provides a nominal output voltage of 24VDC. It supports an operating voltage range from 10 to 30VDC. The 1746-OB16 handles continuous current per point up to 1.5 Amps at 30°C.
The module switches loads with impressive speed and efficiency. It achieves an OFF to ON delay time of just 1.0 ms. The ON to OFF delay time is a rapid 0.1 ms for quick load disconnection.
This unit is a source output module for SLC 500 systems. It requires a backplane current of 0.135 Amps at 5.1 Volts. The module dissipates 7.6 Watts of heat during normal operation.
Theme: Expert Technical Evaluation & Performance Review
Engineers choose this module for its high-current switching capability. Each output point manages a continuous current of 1.5 Amps at 30°C. This rating drops to 1.0 Amps per point at 55°C for thermal safety.
The module’s total current capacity supports heavy loads effectively. It handles a maximum continuous current per module of 6.4 Amps. This rating applies across a 0 to 60°C operating temperature range.
The unit provides a very low OFF-state leakage current of only 1 mA. This feature prevents accidental load activation when outputs are de-energized. It ensures safe and predictable machine behavior during idle states.
The step response performance suits high-speed control applications perfectly. The module achieves a 60-millisecond step response for input signals. It delivers a fast 2.5-millisecond step response for output signals.
This output module operates reliably within a wide voltage range. It accepts a supply voltage from 10 to 50 Volts DC. The module delivers either 0.5 or 0.25 Amps per output channel.
The module’s total current output depends on the configuration chosen. It supports a total module current of 8 or 4 Amps. At 30°C, the module can handle a full 9 Amps of current.
This unit uses a 280-milliamps backplane current from the 5 Volt supply. This low draw minimizes stress on the SLC 500 chassis power supply. It leaves ample power for other modules in the system.
The module’s design focuses on reliable high-current DC output control. It integrates seamlessly into existing SLC 500 rack configurations. This ensures a straightforward upgrade or replacement for your system.
