Product Details
As a module of the old SLC 500 series, 1746-OA16 was officially discontinued in December 2022. Rockwell Automation suggests that new design plans should consider alternative products, such as using more modern CompactLogix or ControlLogix platforms' AC output modules.
1746-OA16 can be installed in the local or remote I/O rack of SLC 500, and can be compatible with various Allen-Bradley processors, such as the 1747 series PLC, or can be used through an adapter for modern CompactLogix and ControlLogix systems.
Installation and Maintenance Recommendations:
√ Safe installation
Before installation or disassembly, the PLC power supply should be disconnected to avoid the risks of electric shock or short circuit.
Insert the module firmly into the designated slot of the 1746 chassis, ensuring that the backplane pins make good contact.
The output terminal is equipped with sturdy screw terminals, and an appropriate amount of play is reserved to prevent loosening due to vibration.
√ Circuit Wiring Specifications
Different output groups should follow the isolation principle and clearly distinguish the wire numbers to avoid confusion.
Ensure that the operating voltage and rated current of the communication load are within the allowable range of the module.
For sensitive loads (such as relay coils), it is recommended to add a surge suppressor on the load side.
√ Product Maintenance
Regularly check the status indicator light of the LED output.
Clean the dust inside the cabinet to prevent heat accumulation.
If the output points fail to respond multiple times, it is necessary to consider replacing the module or checking the backplane connection.
