More Info
Features:
- 10 to 50 V DC (Nominal operation is typically 24V DC)
- Consumes 280 mA @ 5V DC and 0 mA @ 24V DC from the local SLC chassis
- Features an execution ON delay of 0.1 ms and an OFF delay of 1.0 ms under maximum resistive loads
The 1746-OB16 output module is part of the Allen Bradley SLC 500 series, performing exceptionally well in automation control systems. This module features 16 outputs in a grouped design, offering simple and efficient functionality. Rated at 24V DC, it meets various signal output requirements. Operating from 10V to 50V DC, it can be flexibly applied to diverse application scenarios.
At 5V DC operating voltage, the backplane current consumption is 0.28 amps; at 24V DC operating voltage, there is no current consumption. Regarding response time, under maximum resistive load conditions, the signal delay is 0.1 milliseconds upon startup and 1 millisecond upon shutdown. The maximum shutdown leakage current is 1 mA, and the minimum load current of the module is also 1 mA. Furthermore, at a current of 0.5 amps, the maximum voltage drop in the on-state is limited to 1.2 volts.
The 1746-OB16 Allen Bradley DC Output Module may still be available for purchase and support from Moore Automated Company beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

The core highlight of the 1746-OB16 is its built-in electronic overload and short-circuit protection, which operates based on the thermal fuse principle.
If a short circuit occurs in an output channel, the module will isolate and limit the current on that specific path once the local temperature exceeds a threshold.
Nearby normal channels will continue to operate normally, completely unaffected. The E-Fuse diagnostic LED on the front panel will illuminate in the event of a short circuit. The module supports automatic reset after overheating and overload dissipation.
This module has a rated surge capacity of 3 amps per output for 10 milliseconds, enabling it to handle transient conditions. For ease of installation, the module is equipped with removable terminals for convenient connection and maintenance. In summary, the 1746-OB16 output module combines reliable performance with essential functionality, ensuring stable operation in a variety of automated environments.
