Product Introduction
The Allen-Bradley 1746-OBP8/B is a high-current DC digital output module designed for the SLC 500 PLC platform. As a Series B version, it offers improved performance and reliability over earlier revisions, making it well-suited for demanding industrial applications requiring higher output current capacity.
This module provides 8 sourcing output channels, organized into two groups of 4 points each (4 points per common). It operates on a nominal 24V DC supply (20.4–26.4V DC range) and is specifically engineered for high-current output applications, capable of delivering up to 2.0 A per channel. This makes it ideal for directly driving high-power DC loads such as solenoids, contactors, and actuators without the need for interposing relays in many cases.
The 1746-OBP8/B does not include internal electronic protection, allowing for higher current delivery but requiring proper external protection design. Its screw terminal configuration ensures robust and secure field wiring, which is essential in harsh industrial environments.

FAQ
- What is the key advantage of the 1746-OBP8/B over standard modules?
Its ability to deliver up to 2.0 A per channel makes it suitable for high-current applications without additional relays. - Does this module include internal protection?
No, it does not include electronic protection. External protection devices such as fuses or circuit breakers are required. - What is the difference between Series A and Series B?
Series B generally offers improved performance, reliability, and updated internal design compared to Series A. - Can it directly drive solenoids and contactors?
Yes, its high current capacity allows direct control of many DC solenoids and contactors. - How are outputs grouped?
The module has 8 outputs divided into two groups, with 4 outputs per common. - Is it suitable for inductive loads?
Yes, but external suppression (e.g., flyback diodes) is strongly recommended to protect outputs. - What happens if overload occurs?
Without internal protection, overload conditions can damage the module, so proper external protection is essential. - What type of wiring is used?
It uses screw terminal connections for secure and reliable installation. - Can this module be used in all SLC 500 systems?
Yes, it is compatible with standard SLC 500 chassis and processors. - Is it suitable for continuous operation?
Yes, provided it operates within specified electrical and thermal limits and proper protection is in place.
