Allen Bradley 1769-OW8I

Operating Parameters

Input Voltage: Works within a specific voltage range that is usually suitable for common industrial power supply voltages. For example, 10 - 30 VDC, which can be used in various power distribution settings in industrial plants.

Current Capacity: The current carrying capacity of the module is defined.

The maximum current can be determined for each output point: typically 2 A. Ensure the control and drive of the connected load without the possibility of overheating and damage to the load.

Response Speed: Allen Bradley 1769-OW8I is fast enough. The output state can change within a few milliseconds (typically 10 - 20 milliseconds). Fast response is critical for applications that require fast control operations, such as high-speed manufacturing processes and automatic assembly lines.

Product Features

Digital Output Capability: Allen Bradley 1769-OW8I is used as a digital output device. It has eight independent output points that can be controlled. These output points can be used to drive a variety of loads such as solenoids, relays, and indicator lights. For example, in manufacturing, this can be used to open a solenoid valve to control the flow of liquids or gases, or to turn on/off an indicator light as visual status feedback to an operator.

Diagnostic and Condition Monitoring Capabilities: Diagnostics are covered. The module continuously monitors the outputs of its operation in addition to its own health checks. If a fault occurs (such as an output open or shorted, or a module failure), it will sound an alarm or flag an error signal. This allows for faster troubleshooting, thereby reducing downtime for overall operations in any industrial environment.

Configuration Flexibility: Configuration flexibility is a major benefit of the Allen Bradley 1769-OW8I configuration. Configuration is easily accomplished using Allen Bradley's software tools. Certain parameters are set, such as the output mode (for example, sinking or sourcing), the on/off delay time for each output, and the response procedure in case of a fault. Therefore, such modules are suitable for specific applications.

Application Scope

Manufacturing: In manufacturing, it is mainly used in automated production lines. For example, in an automotive manufacturing plant, it can control actuators that perform tasks such as part positioning, clamping, and welding. It can be used to control conveyor systems that carry parts along the assembly line, and in turn, the finished product throughout the factory.

Process control: In the chemical processing, food and beverage production industries, these modules control valves, pumps and other equipment. For example, in a chemical plant, it is used to control the flow of chemicals into the reactor by adjusting the opening and closing of valves. In a brewery, it can control the operation of pumps that transport liquids between different stages of the brewing process. On the packaging line, the Allen Bradley 1769-OW8I controls the motors and actuators of the packaging machines. It can operate the conveyor belt to start and stop, operate the gripper to pick and place the product into the package, and control the sealer and labeler.
