Module Overview
The Allen-Bradley 1771-OA is an AC output module designed specifically for PLC5 programmable logic controllers. It provides eight independent output channels capable of 92–138V AC at 47–63Hz, therefore enabling precise control of industrial devices. Moreover, the module handles repeatable surge currents of up to 4A per output, ensuring stable performance in demanding industrial environments. In addition, its design supports robust AC switching across multiple applications.
This module efficiently energizes solenoids, indicator lights, horns, and relays, therefore increasing automation reliability. Moreover, its backplane current draw of 210mA at 5V DC reduces the impact on overall system power. Key functional highlights include:
- Fuse-blown indicators for easier maintenance
- Output status LEDs for clear operational monitoring
- Robust surge handling for high-reliability applications
- Consistent AC output switching for factory control panels
Consequently, the 1771-OA provides dependable AC control in challenging industrial settings.
