Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
What is the primary function of the 1746-OW16 module?
The 1746-OW16 is a digital output module. It acts as an interface between the SLC 500 processor and external devices, allowing the controller to turn on or off 16 separate loads, such as motors, lights, or valves, based on the logic of your program.Is this module compatible with all SLC 500 controllers?
Yes, it is designed to work with the entire SLC 500 programmable controller family. It installs into any compatible SLC 500 chassis I/O slot.What does "sourcing output" mean?
A sourcing output provides voltage (24V DC in this case) to the load when activated. It is the common output type for Allen-Bradley SLC 500 systems, meaning the module supplies power to the connected device.Can I use this module to control AC loads?
No, the 1746-OW16 is specifically designed for 24V DC loads. To control AC devices, you would typically use an intermediate device like a relay driven by this module's DC output.How do I know if an output point is active?
Each output point on the module has an associated LED indicator. When the output is commanded ON by the controller, the corresponding LED will light, providing immediate visual status feedback.What is the maximum current each output can handle?
Each output point can handle a maximum continuous current of 2.0 Amps. It is important to ensure your connected load does not exceed this rating.Does Rossonix provide technical documentation for this module?
Yes, upon request, we can provide relevant product datasheets and installation guides. For comprehensive technical manuals, we recommend consulting the official Allen-Bradley documentation.What is the typical delivery lead time?
Lead times vary based on stock availability and destination. With our established supply channels and multiple shipment ports, we aim to provide efficient delivery. Please inquire for an estimated timeline for your order.
