Allen-Bradley 1762-OV32T | 32-Point Sinking Output Module
Product Summary
The Allen-Bradley 1762-OV32T provides high-density control for your MicroLogix 1200 system. This solid-state module delivers 32 sinking outputs with robust protection. It converts CPU commands into reliable field device signals. Engineers can trust its performance in demanding industrial environments. Its compact design saves valuable panel space.
Theme A: Expert Procurement & Application Guide
This module features 32 solid-state sinking outputs. It operates on a 24V DC sink input power. The acceptable voltage range spans from `10.2 to 26.4V DC`. This wide range ensures stable performance during power fluctuations. Procurement engineers will appreciate the long-term reliability of this design.

The module draws a maximum bus current of `175 mA at 5V DC`. It also provides a heat dissipation rating of `2.7 kW at 26.4V DC`. These specifications allow for accurate power budget calculations. You can integrate this unit directly onto a DIN rail. This mounting style simplifies installation and future system modifications.
This output module sits on the MicroLogix 1200 platform. It effectively bridges your controller CPU and field actuators. It processes digital signals from the CPU with high fidelity. This ensures precise control over solenoids and indicator lights. The unit uses sink logic for its 32 output points. This configuration is common in many North American industrial systems.
For environmental protection, install the module in an IP20 enclosure. This enclosure guards against solid objects larger than 12mm. It does not offer protection from liquids or ice. The module tolerates pollution degree 2 environments. This makes it suitable for typical factory floor conditions. Always ensure the enclosure meets these operational limits.
Theme B: Step-by-Step Installation Protocol

Begin by mounting the 1762-OV32T securely onto the DIN rail. Ensure the locking mechanism clicks into place firmly. Next, connect the module to the MicroLogix 1200 bus. This establishes communication with the system backplane. Leave a critical clearance of `50.8 mm (2 inches)` on each side. This space allows for natural convection cooling.
Proper ventilation prevents the module from overheating. Follow this rule even in low-temperature environments. The operating temperature range is `-20 to 60 degrees Celsius`. The module also functions normally up to `2000 meters (6562 feet)` altitude without derating. It can operate in relative humidity up to `95%`.
Wire the field devices to the terminal block using copper conductors. The module uses a sinking configuration for its outputs. Connect the common wire to the 24V DC return path. This completes the circuit for the output drivers. Ensure the grounding system is connected to the terminal. This limits electrical noise in the industrial environment.
The module has approximate dimensions of 90 x 40.4 x 87 mm. Its shipping weight is roughly 200 grams (7.05 ounces). This compact footprint allows easy integration into existing panels. Verify all wiring is secure before applying primary power. A simple visual inspection can prevent costly startup errors. Always de-energize the system before handling any wiring.
