Product Specifications

Product Advantages

• Flexible Voltage Support: Handles a wide range of AC and DC voltages, making it suitable for diverse applications.
• Relay-Based Outputs: Electrically isolated and suitable for inductive or resistive loads.
• Modular Design: Hot-swappable terminal blocks allow for easier maintenance and reduced downtime.
• Visual Status Indication: Each output point has an LED for quick diagnostics and troubleshooting.
• Proven Reliability: Widely used in legacy and modern SLC 500 systems with a strong track record of durability.
• Ease of Integration: Fully compatible with SLC 500 series PLCs and programming software.

Precautions

• Load Compatibility: Ensure connected loads do not exceed the maximum current ratings per point or per module.
• Backplane Power: Verify that the SLC 500 chassis can supply sufficient backplane current (190mA at 5V DC).
• Surge Protection: Use external protection devices such as snubbers or surge suppressors when controlling inductive loads.
• Terminal Block Handling: Always power down the system before installing or removing terminal blocks.
• Environmental Conditions: Do not operate outside the specified temperature and humidity ranges to avoid malfunction or damage.
• Wiring Safety: Follow proper grounding and wiring practices to prevent electrical noise or interference.

Product Applications

The 1746-OB8 is widely used in industrial automation and control systems, including:

• Machine Control: Activates solenoids, relays, and motor starters in packaging, printing, and assembly machinery.
• Process Control: Controls valves, alarms, and pumps in water treatment, chemical processing, and HVAC systems.
• Material Handling: Interfaces with conveyors, diverters, and sorters in automated warehouses and distribution systems.
• Building Automation: Drives lighting, HVAC actuators, and security systems in commercial and industrial facilities.
• Panel Indication: Powers indicator lamps and annunciators in control panels and operator stations.
