The Allen Bradley 1769-OW16 is a digital output module designed for use with the CompactLogix line of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) manufactured by Allen Bradley, a brand under Rockwell Automation. The 1769-OW16 module provides 16 independent digital output channels.

Here are some key features of the Allen Bradley 1769-OW16 PLC Controller:

1. Digital Outputs: The 1769-OW16 module has 16 digital output channels, which can be used to control external devices such as solenoids, motors, lights, and other actuators. Each channel is capable of sinking or sourcing current depending on the specific wiring configuration.

2. Output Type: The outputs of the 1769-OW16 module are relay outputs, which means they provide a normally open (NO) contact and a normally closed (NC) contact. This allows for flexibility in wiring and can accommodate different load requirements.

3. Voltage Range: The module supports a wide operating voltage range, typically 24V DC, which is common in industrial automation applications.

4. Current Capacity: Each output channel of the 1769-OW16 module can handle a maximum current of up to 2 amps. It is important to ensure that the total current drawn by the connected devices does not exceed the module's overall current capacity.

5. Configuration: The module can be easily configured using Rockwell Automation's programming software, such as RSLogix 5000 or Studio 5000. The software allows users to set up the module's parameters, such as output behavior, addressing, and diagnostic settings.

6. Compatibility: The 1769-OW16 module is designed specifically for use with the Allen Bradley CompactLogix PLCs. It can be installed in the local I/O chassis of the CompactLogix system or in a remote I/O chassis using appropriate communication modules.
