FAQs:
Which MicroLogix controllers are compatible with the 1762-OW8 module?
The 1762-OW8 is compatible with MicroLogix 1100, 1200, and 1400 controllers. It connects directly to their expansion ports and is automatically recognized. Note that it is not compatible with MicroLogix 1000 controllers.
What types of loads can the 1762-OW8 module switch?
The module can switch various AC/DC loads including contactors, solenoids, motors, and indicators. It handles resistive loads up to 2A @ 250V, but requires derating and suppression for inductive, lamp, and motor loads as specified in the technical documentation.
How is the module powered and what are its wiring requirements?
The module is powered directly from the controller expansion port, requiring 5V DC @ 150 mA maximum. It uses removable screw terminal blocks supporting 12-24 AWG wire and features two common groups (channels 0-3 and 4-7) that require proper common connections.
What protection does the IP20 rating provide?
The IP20 rating provides limited protection against dust and moisture, making it suitable for controlled industrial environments but requiring installation in appropriate enclosures for full protection against harsh conditions.
