Description:

The Allen-Bradley 1762-OB16 is a 16-point 24V DC digital output module designed for use with MicroLogix controllers in compact industrial automation systems. It provides transistor-based sourcing outputs for controlling DC field devices such as solenoids, relays, and indicator lights within PLC-controlled machinery. Commonly installed in packaging machines, conveyor systems, assembly equipment, and standalone production cells, this module expands discrete output capacity in space-efficient control panels. Maintenance teams and system integrators use this module for system expansion, replacement of failed output cards, retrofit projects, and maintaining MicroLogix-based control systems.

Applications:

The 1762-OB16 digital output module is used to control 24V DC field devices including contactors, valves, alarms, and pilot lights. It is widely applied in manufacturing facilities, material handling systems, water treatment panels, and OEM machinery where reliable DC output control and fast switching response are required.
