Product Summary
The 1762‑OB8 expansion module adds eight solid‑state DC outputs to your MicroLogix 1200 controller. Engineers trust it for reliable 24V DC sourcing with a fast 0.1 ms ON‑state delay. Its compact DIN‑rail mounting saves panel space while supporting up to 4A aggregate current.
Theme A: Procurement & Buyer Guide
Matching the 1762‑OB8 to Your Machine
Procurement managers need precise I/O expansion for motion or valve control. The 1762‑OB8 delivers eight sourcing outputs that operate from 20.4 to 26.4V DC. Each point handles 0.5A max, with a module total of 4A. This suits small actuators and indicator lamps.
Critical Electrical Specifications
Engineers must verify backplane current draw. The module consumes 115 mA at 5V DC from the controller. Its ON‑state voltage reaches only 1.0V DC, ensuring low power loss. The 2A surge current lasts 10 ms, repeatable every 2 seconds.
Environmental Compliance
The 1762‑OB8 operates from 0 to 55°C with 5–95% non‑condensing humidity. It withstands 30G shock and 5G vibration at 500 Hz. Group‑to‑backplane isolation tests at 1200V AC for 1 second. UL, c‑UL, and CE certifications simplify global approvals.
Mounting and Distance Limits
Mount it directly on a DIN rail alongside other MicroLogix 1200 modules. The maximum power supply distance is six module lengths. This limits voltage drop and ensures consistent output performance across the rack.
Theme D: Expert Technical Evaluation
Output Performance Characteristics
This module uses solid‑state switches, not relays. The ON‑state delay is 0.1 ms; OFF‑state delay is 1.0 ms at resistive load. Leakage current stays below 1.0 mA, preventing false activation of sensitive loads.
Thermal and Power Management
Operational power dissipation is just 1.6 Watts. This low heat output allows dense packing in control cabinets. The module stores safely from –40 to 85°C, making it suitable for seasonal shutdowns.
Signal Integrity Testing
The group‑to‑backplane isolation rating ensures high noise immunity. Engineers can rely on this module in electrically harsh environments. The fast switching supports high‑speed sequencing without missed events.
Mechanical Robustness
The unit measures 90 x 87 x 40.4 mm and weighs 210 grams. Its 30G shock rating protects against accidental drops during installation. Vibration resistance up to 5G at 500 Hz keeps connections stable on moving machinery.
