Deterministic Network Sync & Backplane Velocity

The 1746-OW4 receives binary discrete outputs from the SLC 500 processor across the chassis backplane bus, driving isolated mechanical relay contact sets. High backplane bus communication velocity preserves time-critical task execution across EtherNet/IP deterministic networks, supporting optimized I/O density scaling and maintaining firmware flash compatibility across legacy and current control platforms.

Shipment Package Inventory

  • 1 x Allen-Bradley 1746-OW4 Electromechanical Output Module
  • 1 x Terminal Block & Hardware Wiring Sheet

Cabinet Installation & Terminal Wiring Procedures

  • Chassis Slot Insertion: Align the circuit board module with upper and lower card guides of the SLC 500 chassis, sliding inward until side latches firmly click.
  • Terminal Connector Termination: Wire field power and load lines to designated screw terminals, ensuring proper insulation strip length.
  • Inductive Load Suppression: Install MOV or RC surge suppressors across external inductive AC loads to prevent contact arcing and back-EMF noise.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q: What voltage range is supported by the 1746-OW4 contact outputs?

    The relay contacts handle operating voltages from 5 to 265 VAC and 5 to 125 VDC.

  • Q: What is the maximum continuous current rating per point at 120 VAC?

    Each normally open relay output channel is rated for up to 1.5 A continuous current at 120 VAC.

  • Q: How many output points are available on the 1746-OW4 module?

    The hardware provides 4 individually wired, normally open electromechanical relay outputs.

  • Q: What alternate catalog numbers refer to the 1746-OW4 hardware?

    Cross-reference part numbers include 1746-0W4 and revision series 1746-OW4/A.

  • Q: Can AC and DC loads be switched simultaneously on different channels?

    Yes, channels with isolated common terminals can control distinct AC or DC voltage loops.

  • Q: Does the module require external surge suppression for inductive loads?

    External suppression networks (RC snubbers or suppression diodes) are recommended to extend contact life.

  • Q: Is module insertion allowed while the SLC 500 chassis is powered?

    Power down the SLC 500 chassis backplane power supply before removing or inserting I/O modules.

  • Q: What is the physical shipping weight of the 1746-OW4 unit?

    The net shipping weight of the packaged 1746-OW4 relay output module is 0.3 kg.
