Allen-Bradley 1746-OAP12 Output Module

The AB 1746-OAP12 is a distributed output module manufactured by Allen-Bradley for the SLC 500 PLC system. Unlike standard output modules mounted directly on the PLC backplane, distributed modules like the AB 1746-OAP12 can be located away from the controller, offering some advantages for specific applications.Overview:Type: Distributed Output ModuleSeries: SLC 500Number of Outputs: 12Output Type: Sinking DC (operates by completing a circuit to ground)Voltage Rating:Nominal: 24 VDCOperating Range: 10-30 VDCCommunication: Typically connected via DF1 communication cable to the SLC 500 PLCFeatures:Remote I/O Capability: Allows placing outputs farther away from the main PLC, which can be beneficial for:Expanding the number of outputs beyond the limitations of the PLC backplane.Reducing cable clutter near the controller by placing outputs closer to the controlled devices.Modular Design: Offers some flexibility in system architecture.SLC 500 Compatibility: Designed for seamless integration w
