Compatibility and Installation

The 1769-OW16 module is designed for use with MicroLogix 1500 and CompactLogix controllers. It can be used as both a local and expansion I/O in CompactLogix systems. For MicroLogix 1500 systems, it serves as an expansion module. The module connects to the controller assembly via the communication bus, which also supplies power.

Note: The 1769-OW16 requires its own power supply unless used in conjunction with the MicroLogix 1500 base. Compatible power supplies include 1769-PA2, 1769-PB2, 1769-PA4, and 1769-B4. The module can be mounted using a panel or DIN rail.

Application

Ideal for controlling AC and DC loads, the 1769-OW16 module is equipped to handle electrical and inductive loads up to its current ratings. With 16 Normally Open (Form A) contacts, this module ensures that your system can manage both small and larger current ratings effectively.
