Discrete Relay Control Solution — Allen-Bradley 5069-OW16 | CompactLogix 5380 Series
Where This Product Is Used
The 5069-OW16 is a 16-point relay output module designed for the CompactLogix 5380 controller platform. It is deployed across a wide range of industrial environments where isolated, dry-contact switching is required to drive loads that cannot be controlled by solid-state outputs. Typical application scenarios include:
- Discrete Machine Control — Switching solenoid valves, motor starters, and contactors in packaging lines, conveyor systems, and assembly machines.
- Building Automation & HVAC — Controlling damper actuators, fan relays, and pump starters in commercial building management systems.
- Water & Wastewater Treatment — Operating pump control panels, valve actuators, and alarm annunciators in municipal and industrial water systems.
- Oil & Gas Wellhead / Skid Control — Driving shutdown relays, ESD (Emergency Shutdown) circuits, and field device switching in hazardous-area skid packages.
- Food & Beverage Processing — Controlling washdown-rated contactors and agitator starters where galvanic isolation between PLC and load is mandatory.
- Material Handling & Logistics — Switching sorter diverters, gate actuators, and indicator lamps in distribution center automation.
- Power Generation & Utilities — Interfacing PLC logic to high-voltage auxiliary relay panels and breaker control circuits.

Why Engineers Specify This Model
- True Galvanic Isolation — Relay contacts provide complete electrical isolation between PLC logic and field loads, eliminating ground loop issues and protecting the controller from inductive kickback.
- Universal Voltage Compatibility — A single module handles both AC and DC loads across a wide voltage range (5–265 V AC / 5–125 V DC), reducing the need for separate output modules per voltage class.
- Compact 5000 I/O Architecture — Designed for the high-speed Compact 5000 backplane, enabling faster I/O update rates compared to legacy CompactLogix 1769 I/O.
- Removable Terminal Block (RTB) — Field wiring stays connected to the RTB during module replacement, minimizing downtime during maintenance or module swap-out.
- Individually Isolated Output Groups — Two independent common groups allow mixed-voltage loads on a single module without cross-interference.
- Studio 5000 Native Integration — Plug-and-play configuration within Rockwell Automation’s Studio 5000 Logix Designer environment; no third-party driver required.
- High Mechanical Life Rating — ≥10 million mechanical operations ensures long service life in high-cycle applications such as packaging and material handling.

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Can the 5069-OW16 be used with a CompactLogix 5370 (1769 I/O) system?
A: No. The 5069-OW16 is exclusively compatible with the Compact 5000 I/O platform (CompactLogix 5380, 5480). It is not backward-compatible with the 1769 CompactLogix 5370 I/O bus.
Q: What is the maximum switching frequency for relay outputs?
A: Relay outputs are not rated for high-frequency switching. For applications requiring >1 Hz switching, consider the 5069-OB16 (transistor output) module instead. Relay outputs are best suited for <0.1 Hz cycle rates to maximize contact life.
Q: Can I mix AC and DC loads on the same module?
A: Yes. The 5069-OW16 has two independently isolated output groups (8 points each). You can wire Group 0 to an AC common and Group 1 to a DC common, allowing mixed-voltage loads on a single module.
Q: Is a surge suppressor required for inductive loads?
A: Rockwell Automation strongly recommends installing RC snubbers or MOV suppressors across inductive loads (solenoids, motor starters, relay coils) to extend relay contact life and reduce EMI. This is especially critical for AC inductive loads.
Q: What firmware version of Studio 5000 is required?
A: Studio 5000 Logix Designer v28.00 or later is required for full 5069 Compact 5000 I/O support. Verify your controller firmware matches the AOP (Add-On Profile) version installed.
Q: Do you provide the removable terminal block (RTB) with the module?
A: The RTB is sold separately (catalog numbers 5069-RTB18S or 5069-RTB18). Please specify at time of order if you require the RTB to be included. We can bundle both items.
Q: Can Konmask provide a Certificate of Conformance (CoC)?
A: Yes. A CoC is available upon request for all shipments. For regulated industries (aerospace, defense, nuclear), please contact us prior to ordering to confirm documentation requirements.
