Allen-Bradley 1769-OW8 Relay Output Module

The Allen-Bradley 1769-OW8 is a high-performance relay output module in the CompactLogix series. It provides eight normally open output channels and supports both AC and DC voltage. Designed for industrial automation, this module delivers reliable performance with precise voltage and current handling. You can install it easily with CompactLogix or MicroLogix 1500 controllers for flexible I/O expansion.

Key Features

Eight Form A contact outputs allow versatile control for discrete devices.
Supports operating voltages from 5 to 265V AC and 5 to 125V DC.
Groups channels into two output groups with four channels each for varied voltage use.
Each output handles 2.5A at 120–240V AC, 1.0A at 125V DC, and 2.0A at 24V DC.
On/off signal delay is 10 ms, ensuring fast and responsive switching.
Compatible with 1769-PA2, 1769-PB2, 1769-PA4, 1769-PB4 power supplies.
Supports remote I/O expansion via 1769-ADN DeviceNet or 1769-AENTR Ethernet adapters.
Certified to CE, c-UL, and C-Tick standards for industrial safety.
