Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Is the Allen-Bradley 1746-OV16 module new and original?

A: Yes, we supply only brand new and 100% original Allen-Bradley products.

Q: What does "sinking output" mean for this module?

A: A sinking module completes the circuit to ground (DC common). The load connects between the positive supply and the module output point.

Q: What is the maximum total current for all 16 outputs?

A: The total continuous current must not exceed 8.0 Amps at 30°C or 4.0 Amps at 60°C for the entire module.

Q: How fast can the outputs switch on and off?

A: The output response is very quick. It turns on within 0.1 ms and turns off within 1.0 ms for resistive loads.

Q: Do you have the 1746-OV16 in stock, and what is your return policy?

A: We maintain stock for fast delivery. We also offer a 30-day return policy for your peace of mind.

Q: Can each output handle a short inrush or surge current?

A: Yes, each point can handle a 3.0 Amp surge for 10 milliseconds, such as when energizing a coil.
