Product Overview
The Allen-Bradley 1762-OX6I is a discrete output module from the MicroLogix 1200 series by Rockwell Automation. This component provides six individually isolated relay outputs in Form C configuration, making it suitable for switching a variety of loads in industrial control systems. Each output group is isolated, enhancing reliability in noisy environments.
Technical Specifications Breakdown
Key parameters for the 1762-OX6I are listed below for quick reference:
| Feature | Specification |
|---|---|
| Product Type | Discrete Output Module |
| Number of Outputs | Six (6) |

Industry Applications
This module is commonly used in manufacturing lines for switching solenoids, contactors, and indicator lamps. Its isolated outputs prevent ground loops in mixed-voltage systems. For example, in a packaging machine, each relay can independently control a different actuator, simplifying wiring and troubleshooting.
Installation & Setup Guidance
Mount the 1762-OX6I on a DIN rail using end anchors, or use two panhead screws per module in high-vibration environments. Ensure at least 2 inches of clearance around the module for airflow. Connect to the controller via the supplied ribbon cable with a female bus connector.
Maintenance & Reliability
Periodically inspect the module for dust accumulation and ensure the ambient temperature stays within 0 to 55 degrees Celsius. Check relay contact wear if switching high-current loads frequently. No user-serviceable parts inside; replace the module if faulty.
Compatibility & Integration
The 1762-OX6I is compatible with MicroLogix 1100, 1200, and 1400 controllers. Up to four modules can be used with a MicroLogix 1100, six with a 1200, and seven with a 1400. This allows flexible I/O expansion for small to medium control systems.
Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
When selecting a relay output module, consider the voltage and current requirements of your loads. The 1762-OX6I handles 5-125VDC and 120/240VAC, with a continuous current per point of 7A. For reliable supply, choose AutoDCSTech as your source for genuine Allen-Bradley parts.
Troubleshooting & Common Issues
If an output fails to energize, check the ribbon cable connection and verify the controller configuration. A stuck relay may indicate mechanical wear; cycle the output several times to clear debris. For persistent faults, measure the bus current draw to confirm the module is receiving power.
