Allen-Bradley 1769-OW16 Relay Output Module – CompactLogix Compact I/O Series
When a relay output module fails on the production floor, the consequences are immediate and costly: conveyor lines halt, actuators lose control signals, and entire manufacturing cells go dark. Without a reliable discrete output interface, PLCs cannot command the real-world devices that keep operations running. The Allen-Bradley 1769-OW16 is the precision component that bridges your CompactLogix controller to the physical world — 16 isolated relay contacts ready to switch motors, solenoids, indicators, and safety circuits with proven industrial-grade reliability.
Within the 1769 Compact I/O family, the 1769-OW16 occupies a critical position as the high-density relay output solution. Designed for space-constrained control panels and mid-range automation applications, it is deployed across thousands of installations worldwide — from automotive assembly lines in Germany to food processing facilities in Southeast Asia — making it one of the most trusted discrete output modules in the global industrial automation market.

Key Features & Benefits
- 16 Isolated Relay Outputs: Each output group is individually isolated, eliminating cross-interference between circuits and enabling mixed-voltage field wiring in a single module.
- Wide Voltage Compatibility: Supports both AC and DC loads from 5V to 265V AC / 125V DC, giving engineers maximum flexibility in panel design without additional interface relays.
- Compact Form Factor: Single-slot 1769 Compact I/O footprint minimizes panel space while delivering high I/O density — ideal for machine-level control cabinets.
- Hot-Swap Capable: Supports removal and insertion under power (RIUP) when used with compatible CompactLogix systems, reducing maintenance downtime.
- Removable Terminal Block: Pre-wired terminal blocks can be swapped without rewiring, accelerating module replacement in the field.
- Diagnostic LED Indicators: Per-point output status LEDs provide instant visual feedback for commissioning and fault isolation.
- Long Mechanical Life: Rated for millions of operations, ensuring long-term reliability in high-cycle applications.
Industry & Equipment Applications
- Automotive Manufacturing: Controlling welding gun solenoids, conveyor drive starters, and fixture clamp actuators.
- Food & Beverage Processing: Switching pump motors, valve actuators, and conveyor indexing drives in washdown environments.
- Packaging Machinery: Commanding label applicators, reject gates, and product diverters on high-speed lines.
- Water & Wastewater Treatment: Operating pump station contactors, valve actuators, and alarm annunciators.
- Oil & Gas: Controlling wellhead equipment, pipeline valve actuators, and safety shutdown systems.
- Building Automation & HVAC: Switching fan starters, damper actuators, and lighting control circuits.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the 1769-OW16 compatible with MicroLogix controllers?
A: No. The 1769 Compact I/O series is designed for CompactLogix controllers. MicroLogix systems use the 1762 (MicroLogix 1200) or 1766 (MicroLogix 1400) I/O expansion modules.
Q: Can the 1769-OW16 switch inductive loads such as motor starters?
A: Yes, but a suppression device (RC snubber or MOV) is strongly recommended across inductive loads to protect relay contacts and extend service life.
Q: What is the maximum number of 1769-OW16 modules per CompactLogix system?
A: This depends on the specific CompactLogix controller’s I/O capacity. Refer to the controller’s technical specifications for the maximum local and expansion I/O module count.
Q: Do you supply both new and refurbished units?
A: We primarily supply new, factory-sealed units. Tested surplus units may be available — please specify your preference when submitting an inquiry.
Q: Can you provide the 1769-OW16 datasheet or wiring diagram?
A: Yes. Technical documentation is available upon request. Contact support@konmask.com with your inquiry.
