        Overview Manuals Specifications Use Cases Firmware & Updates Operating Environment

        Features:

        • Seamless Bridge Between Industrial Control Logic and High-Voltage Field Actuators
        • Dual Isolated Relay Groups Enabling Mixed AC and DC Load Switching
        • Direct Integration with CompactLogix Controllers and 1769 Expansion Systems
        The Allen-Bradley 1769-OW16 serves as a 16-point Compact AC/DC relay contact output module, delivering versatile switching capabilities to industrial automation architectures. It seamlessly converts controller logic commands into physical contact closure, supporting output switching across a broad voltage range of 5 to 265 V AC and 5 to 125 V DC. Engineered with 16 Normally Open (Form A) mechanical relays, the 1769-OW16 provides robust dielectric protection, featuring 265 V AC continuous working voltage (reinforced insulation) between field points and the backplane bus, verified by rigorous factory testing at 1836 V AC or 2596 V DC for 1 second.

        The 1769-OW16 delivers essential output execution across the entire control architecture, serving as a critical hardware link between PLC processing logic and physical actuators. One or more 1769-OW16 modules can be installed within a single CompactLogix or MicroLogix 1500 system, depending on the required output density. The 1769-OW16 occupies a single slot on the 1769 Compact I/O bank and mounts directly to a DIN rail or panel surface, connecting instantly through the system backplane bus.

        For applications requiring flexible circuit design, the 1769-OW16 structures its 16 channels into two individually isolated groups of 8 points each. Beyond standard single-voltage wiring, this isolated dual-group configuration allows engineers to operate separate voltage levels—such as 120 V AC on Group 0 and 24 V DC on Group 1—on a single module. The 1769-OW16 maintains group-to-group isolation rated at 265 V AC basic insulation (or 150 V AC reinforced insulation), protecting connected field circuits from cross-channel noise and ground fault interference.

        The 1769-OW16 Allen-Bradley Compact AC/DC relay contact module may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

        • Mixed AC/DC Load Management: Features two isolated groups of eight outputs, allowing a single module to simultaneously switch AC loads (e.g., 120V AC fans) and DC loads (e.g., 24V DC panels).
        • Inductive Load Control: Commonly used to drive heavy industrial components, including motor starters, heavy-duty contactors, solenoids, and pneumatic control valves.
        • Zero-Leakage Requirements: Mechanical contacts achieve a true 0 mA maximum off-state leakage. This prevents false triggers in safety signaling devices, alarms, and sensitive automated machinery.
        • Hardware-Level Design: The module is a basic electromechanical relay unit and does not feature its own flashable firmware.
        • Controller Compatibility: Older Series A versions can trigger a hard power-up sequence fault (solid red OK light) when paired with modern CompactLogix 5370 L2 or L3 controllers running firmware revision 21 or later.
        • Operating Temperature: 0 °C to 60 °C (32 °F to 140 °F).
        • Enclosure Rating: IP20 open-style. It must be installed inside a grounded metal panel or control cabinet to protect against moisture and debris.
        • Hazardous Locations: Certified for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, and D environments.
        Description
        The Allen-Bradley 1769-OW16 Compact AC/DC relay contact module is a versatile, high-density digital output solution engineered specifically to bridge low-voltage control logic with higher-voltage industrial field devices. The 1769-OW16 features 16 Normally Open (Form A) mechanical relay contacts arranged in two individually isolated groups of 8 channels. Designed with robust dielectric isolation, the 1769-OW16 delivers up to 265V AC working voltage under IEC Class II reinforced insulation between output points and the backplane bus (verified by testing at 1836V AC or 2596V DC for 1 second).

        This 1769-OW16 Compact AC/DC relay contact module is specifically designed to handle the challenge of switching mixed-voltage load circuits and high-power actuators directly from small-footprint programmable logic controllers without requiring external interposing relays. By incorporating built-in isolation and robust relay contacts, the 1769-OW16 resolves issues related to ground loops, electrical noise interference, and thermal dissipation, while simultaneously eliminating the extra panel space, labor costs, and wiring complexity associated with traditional intermediate relay racks.

        The 1769-OW16 module is widely applied across heavy industrial and infrastructure sectors where disparate field device voltages are commonplace, such as water and wastewater treatment, automotive manufacturing, packaging machinery, chemical processing, material handling, and building HVAC automation. In these operational environments, the 1769-OW16 effectively controls heavy-duty field equipment including AC solenoid valves, motor starters, alarm horns, indicator lights, heater elements, and pneumatic actuators.

        For installation and integration, the 1769-OW16 module mounts seamlessly onto a standard DIN rail or panel surface and interfaces directly with CompactLogix controller systems or expansion I/O banks via the 1769 Compact I/O bus. During system integration, the 1769-OW16 allows system integrators to group high-voltage AC loads on one common group and low-voltage DC signals on the second common group, optimizing field wiring routes.
