Product Summary
The 1762-OB8 adds eight reliable 24V DC sourcing outputs to your MicroLogix 1200 system. This solid-state expansion module delivers a 0.5A per-point load capacity. Its robust design withstands 30G shock and 5G vibration for long-term industrial use.
Theme A: Product Procurement & Buyer Guide
Procurement managers need a module that matches exact system specs. The 1762-OB8 operates on a 20.4 to 26.4V DC supply. Each of its eight points handles a 0.5A continuous current load. This ensures safe operation with common 24V DC actuators and sensors.
This module draws only 115 mA from the 5V backplane. This low power drain preserves system resources for other expansion modules. You can install up to six modules from the power supply. This flexibility helps engineers scale their control system effectively.
The part number 1762-OB8 works exclusively with the MicroLogix 1200 series. It mounts easily on a standard DIN rail. The module weighs just 210 grams, simplifying shipping and handling. Certified under UL, c-UL, and CE, it meets global safety standards.
For application engineers, the 1762-OB8 provides fast response times. It has a maximum ON-state signal delay of just 0.1 ms. This speed supports precise control of high-speed output devices. The OFF-state delay reaches 1.0 ms, ensuring reliable deactivation.
Each output point can handle a 2A intermittent surge for 10ms. This surge repeats every 2 seconds, protecting against brief overloads. The aggregate current per module is 4A. This aggregate limit ensures the module stays within its safe thermal range.
Theme F: Deep-Dive Technical FAQ
Question 1: What is the maximum ON-state voltage drop for the 1762-OB8?
The module features a maximum ON-state voltage of only 1.0 Volts DC. This low drop ensures efficient power delivery to your connected loads. It minimizes heat generation within the output circuit.
Question 2: How does the 1762-OB8 protect against electrical noise?
It provides group-to-backplane isolation tested at 1200 Volts AC or 1697 Volts DC for one second. This high isolation voltage prevents transient damage and signal corruption.
Question 3: What are the environmental limits for the 1762-OB8?
This module operates between 0 and 55 degrees Celsius. It can survive storage temperatures from -40 to 85 degrees Celsius. The relative humidity range is 5 to 95 percent non-condensing, ideal for harsh plants.
Question 4: Can I use the 1762-OB8 at high altitudes?
Yes, it operates optimally at a maximum altitude of 6561 feet (2000 meters). This makes it suitable for many high-altitude manufacturing facilities.
Question 5: What is the leakage current in the OFF state?
The maximum OFF-state leakage current is 1.0 mA. This low leakage prevents accidental activation of sensitive loads when the output is off.
