It features eight normally open (N.O.) relay contact outputs grouped into two sets of four channels per common. This module supports a wide operating voltage range from 5 to 265V AC and 5 to 125V DC, making it versatile for various industrial applications requiring relay contact output. The 1746-OW8 offers reliable performance with fast response times — 60 milliseconds for input and 2.5 milliseconds for output — and a backplane current consumption between 0.85 to 0.9 A at 5V DC. Its compact design allows easy integration within the SLC 500 series system, providing efficient control of output devices with robust electrical isolation. This module is well-suited to operate in demanding environments requiring durable and consistent relay output control.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features of Allen Bradley 1746-OW8\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEight Normally Open (N.O.) relay contact outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOperating voltage range of 5-265V AC or 5-125V DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo output groups with four channels per common\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with Allen Bradley SLC 500 PLC systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum output current of 1.5 amps per channel at 120 VAC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFast signal delay times: 10 ms ON and OFF for resistive loads\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBackplane current draw of approximately 0.85 to 0.9 amps at 5V DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact and rugged design suitable for industrial environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStep response time of 60 ms input and 2.5 ms output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specs of 1746-OW8\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eDetails\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eModule Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eDigital Contact Output Module\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eNumber of Outputs\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e8\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eOutput Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eNormally Open Relay Contact\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eOutput Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e5-265V AC \/ 5-125V DC\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eGroups\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2 (4 points per group)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eOutput Current (120 VAC)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1.5 amps per output\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eOutput Current (24 VDC)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1.2 amps per output\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSignal Delay (Max Resistive Load)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e10 ms ON \/ 10 ms OFF\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eStep Response Time\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e60 ms input \/ 2.5 ms output\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBackplane Current\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e0.85-0.9 amp at 5V DC\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCompatible Series\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSLC 500\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eApplications \/ Use Case\u003c\/h2\u003e\nThe Allen Bradley 1746-OW8 is widely used in industrial automation for controlling relay-driven output devices such as solenoids, pilot lights, and small motors within manufacturing and process control systems. Its eight relay outputs enable flexible control schemes and easy grouping of output channels for complex operations. The capability to handle both AC and DC voltages allows it to be employed in diverse environments, including factories, water treatment facilities, and assembly lines. The module’s relay contact outputs provide electrical isolation, which increases system reliability and safety by preventing voltage spikes or electrical noise from affecting the controller. It is particularly effective for applications requiring switching of high voltage or current loads with the protection of the PLC system, making it an essential component in legacy and ongoing automation projects that utilize the Allen Bradley SLC 500 family.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRelated Resources\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/leadtime.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eLeadTime.ca – Industrial Automation Components \u0026amp; Repair Services\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/leadtime.ca\/collections\/allen-bradley\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eView All Allen Bradley Products\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/leadtime.ca\/blogs\/learning-center\/top-plc-brands-compared-siemens-allen-bradley-mitsubishi\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eTop PLC Brands Compared: Siemens, Allen Bradley \u0026amp; Mitsubishi\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/leadtime.ca\/products\/allen-bradley-5094-ib16\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eAllen Bradley 5094-IB16 Flex 5000 Input Module\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/leadtime.ca\/products\/allen-bradley-1756-en2tr\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eAllen Bradley 1756-EN2TR EtherNet\/IP Module\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\n\n","brand":"Allen Bradley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47809554678059,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0837\/4671\/7995\/files\/Leadtime_233f9a47-bb32-4aa4-976a-6e6ba0f286d5.png?v=1723546533","url":"https:\/\/leadtime.ca\/products\/allen-bradley-1746-ow8-1094n-1300","provider":"LEADTIME","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
