Theme Option A: Product Procurement & Buyer Guide
Understanding the 1762-IQ8OW6 Module Architecture
This module combines eight 24VDC input channels with six relay outputs. The 1762-IQ8OW6 provides two input groups with four channels each. Group one handles inputs zero through three. Group two manages inputs four through seven. Group three controls all six output channels.
Critical Electrical Specifications for Engineers
The input channels accept a voltage range of 10 to 30VDC. This module requires a nominal input voltage of 24VDC. The minimum on-state voltage measures exactly 10 Volts DC. The maximum off-state voltage is 5 Volts DC. Each input channel draws a current of 10 mA at 5 Volts DC.
Relay Output Capabilities and Ratings
The six Form A relay outputs handle both AC and DC loads. These normally open contacts operate from 5 to 265 Volts AC. They also work from 5 to 125 Volts DC. The relay contact rating reaches 2.5 Amperes for 240VAC loads. For 125VDC loads, the rating drops to 1.0 Ampere.
Power Supply Distance and Backplane Requirements
This module has a strict power supply distance rating of six modules. You cannot install this unit more than six slots away from the power supply. The backplane current draw is 110 mA at 5V DC. It also draws 80 mA at 24V DC. The heat dissipation reaches 5.0 Watts at 30V DC.
Physical Dimensions and Installation Considerations
The module measures 90 x 40.4 x 87 millimeters. The height including mounting tabs is 110 millimeters. This unit weighs approximately 280 grams or 0.62 pounds. The compact size allows for efficient panel space utilization in control cabinets.
Signal Timing and Performance Characteristics
Each input channel has a rated signal delay of 8 milliseconds. This delay applies for both ON to OFF and OFF to ON transitions. The output channels have a switching delay of 10 milliseconds. These timing specs apply for both ON and OFF transitions with resistive loads.
