This unit provides sixteen sinking DC outputs, allowing for the control of field devices within a 10V to 50V DC range. As a sinking module, it functions by switching the negative side of the circuit, effectively completing the path to the common return for connected loads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSixteen isolated sinking output channels for versatile control of DC loads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransistor-based switching architecture designed for high-speed, repetitive cycling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast signal response times: 0.1 ms ON delay and 1.0 ms OFF delay.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRobust surge current handling of up to 3.0 Amps for 10 ms to accommodate inductive load inrush.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact SLC 500 form factor for efficient rack space utilization.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis module is widely utilized in industrial automation environments requiring high-speed discrete control, including solenoid valve actuation, relay driving, and indicator lamp signaling within SLC 500 control architectures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable border=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAllen-Bradley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Line\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSLC 500\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModule Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDigital DC Output (Sinking)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNumber of Outputs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVoltage Category\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24V DC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOperating Voltage Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10-50V DC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBackplane Current (5V)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.270 A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOn-State Voltage Drop\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.2V at 0.5 A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSurge Current\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.0 A for 10 ms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOperating Temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0 to 60 degC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Guidelines\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnsure the SLC 500 chassis power is disconnected before installing or removing the module.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVerify that the module is fully seated in the chassis slot and secured with the top and bottom retaining screws.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse appropriate wiring practices for sinking outputs; ensure the common return is correctly tied to the negative side of the power supply.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaintain proper ventilation within the control cabinet to ensure the operating environment remains within the 0 to 60 degC range.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoute signal wires away from high-voltage AC lines and high-EMI sources to prevent signal noise or interference.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the primary function of the sinking configuration in the 1746-OV16?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sinking configuration means the module switches the negative return path (ground side) of the circuit.
