Product Overview

The 1746-OW16 is an Allen-Bradley SLC 500 series digital contact output module providing 16 normally-open relay outputs, arranged in two commons of eight outputs each. It mounts in a 1746 chassis and interfaces via the SLC backplane, enabling control of AC or DC loads in industrial systems such as motor starters, solenoids, pilot lights, or small actuators. The module is discontinued as of November 24, 2022, but remains in use in maintenance and retrofit applications. 1746-OW16 serves as a field-side switching interface within an SLC 500 control system.
