The Allen-Bradley 1756-OA8D is a high-performance 8-point AC output module designed for the ControlLogix platform, providing robust and isolated switching for 120/240V AC loads. Each channel is individually optically isolated (1000V RMS) to protect the backplane and logic circuits from electrical noise or ground loops, making it ideal for motor starters, solenoids, and contactors in discrete manufacturing and process control. The module features electronic short-circuit protection with thermal shutdown, and its 2A per point rating ensures reliable operation for medium-current AC applications. Factory-tested to Rockwell’s stringent quality standards, the 1756-OA8D offers seamless integration with ControlLogix processors via the 1756 backplane, supporting both scheduled and unscheduled data transfers. With a wide operating temperature range and conformal coating options for harsh environments, this module is a trusted choice for global automation systems.
