Product Features & Benefits
High Channel Density – 32 outputs in a single slot reduce rack space requirements and simplify wiring.
Reliable Switching – Optical isolation prevents ground loops and protects the CPU from voltage spikes.
Fast Response – 0.5ms typical turn-on/turn-off ensures precise timing for high-speed applications.
Easy Diagnostics – Individual LED indicators per channel allow quick status check at a glance.
Wide Compatibility – Works with all SLC500 processors (e.g., 5/01, 5/02, 5/03, 5/04, 5/05) and compatible racks.
Durable Construction – Designed for industrial environments with 0–60°C operating range and built-in surge protection.
Hot-Swap Capable – Can be inserted or removed under power without disturbing other modules (consult manual for proper procedure).
This module is ideal for controlling solenoid valves, motor contactors, indicator lamps, and solid-state relays in automation lines. Its sinking output configuration (negative logic) is the standard for many DC loads, making the 1746-OB32 a versatile choice for both new installations and replacement upgrades.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between 1746-OB32 and 1746-OB16?
A: The 1746-OB32 has 32 outputs, while the 1746-OB16 has 16 outputs. Both are 24VDC sinking modules; the OB32 provides higher channel density.Q: Can this module be used with 120VAC loads?
A: No. This is a DC output module rated for 24VDC loads only. For AC loads, please consider modules like 1746-OA8 or 1746-OX8.Q: Does the 1746-OB32 support PWM or pulse output?
A: No. This module is designed for discrete on/off control and does not support PWM modulation. For high-speed pulse outputs, use an SLC500 high-speed counter module.Q: Is the module compatible with 1746-IB16 input modules?
A: Yes, it is fully compatible. All SLC500 I/O modules share the same backplane architecture and can be mixed freely in a rack.Q: What is the maximum cable length I can use from the module to the load?
A: For reliable operation, keep cable lengths under 30 meters (100 feet) for low-voltage DC signals to minimize voltage drop. Longer runs may require thicker gauge wire or a remote I/O approach.Q: Is this a genuine Allen Bradley product?
A: Yes, we supply only genuine Allen Bradley (Rockwell Automation) modules. Each module bears the official part number, serial number, and Rockwell branding.Q: What warranty do you offer?
A: Rossonix provides a standard 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects. Extended warranty options are available upon request.Q: Do you provide technical documentation or manual?
A: Yes, a user manual (PDF) is provided with each module. Additional documentation can be downloaded from Rockwell Automation’s website.
