Discrete Control & Mixed I/O Solution — Allen-Bradley 1762-IQ8OW6 | MicroLogix 1200 Series
Where This Product Is Used
The Allen-Bradley 1762-IQ8OW6 is a 14-point digital combination I/O module designed for the MicroLogix 1200 platform. It is deployed across a wide range of industrial automation environments where both discrete sensing and relay-switched outputs are required on a single compact module:
- Conveyor & Material Handling Systems — reading proximity sensors and switching motor contactors or solenoid valves
- Packaging Machinery — coordinating photoelectric sensor inputs with relay-driven actuators and reject gates
- HVAC & Building Automation — monitoring digital status inputs (door contacts, flow switches) and controlling fan relays or damper actuators
- Water & Wastewater Treatment — interfacing with level switches, float sensors, and pump relay outputs
- Food & Beverage Processing — managing wash-down-rated sensor inputs alongside relay outputs for agitators and conveyors
- Machine Tool & Press Control — reading limit switches and E-stop inputs while driving relay-controlled safety circuits
- OEM Panel Builders — standardizing on a single mixed I/O module to reduce wiring complexity and panel footprint

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Can the 1762-IQ8OW6 be used with a MicroLogix 1100?
A: No. The 1762 expansion bus is exclusive to the MicroLogix 1200 and 1500 LRP/LXP controllers. It is not compatible with MicroLogix 1100 or 1000.
Q: How many 1762-IQ8OW6 modules can I add to one MicroLogix 1200 system?
A: The MicroLogix 1200 supports up to 6 expansion modules on the 1762 bus, subject to backplane current budget. Verify total current draw does not exceed the controller’s 5 VDC backplane supply rating.
Q: Are the relay outputs rated for inductive loads such as motor starters?
A: Yes, but derate accordingly. For inductive AC loads, the relay output is rated at 1.5 A; use a snubber circuit or MOV across the coil to extend relay contact life.
Q: What programming software is required?
A: RSLogix 500 (v7.0 or later) or RSLogix Micro. The module is auto-configured by the controller upon power-up; no separate I/O configuration file is needed.
Q: Is this module available as a factory-new or refurbished unit?
A: We stock both. Please specify your preference at checkout or in your inquiry. All units are tested and verified regardless of condition grade.
Q: Can you provide a certificate of conformance or test report?
A: Yes. Request documentation at the time of order or email [email protected] with your order number.
