The 1746-IO8 is an SLC 500 digital output module featuring 8 points of individually isolated relay contact outputs. This hardware configuration allows each of the eight output circuits to be powered by an independent AC or DC voltage source, providing maximum flexibility for diverse field device control.
Individual Point Isolation
Universal Voltage Support
High Current Capacity
This module supports a broad operating voltage range from 5 to 265V AC and 5 to 125V DC, with a mechanical relay life rated at 20,000,000 cycles. It provides robust switching capabilities with a continuous current rating of 2.5 A per point at 120V AC, while maintaining low backplane power consumption of 0.060 A at 5V DC.

Petrochemical Refineries
Used for controlling motor starters and heavy-duty solenoid valves in hazardous environments. The individually isolated relay contacts allow each output to interface with diverse AC or DC voltage sources safely.
Power Generation
Applied in control panels for managing circuit breakers and alarm annunciators. It supports a wide operating voltage range up to 265V AC, providing robust switching for high-voltage power distribution equipment.
Water Treatment
Deployed in pumping stations to drive chemical dosing pumps and motorized gate valves. The module offers a continuous current rating of 2.5 A at 120V AC, suitable for high-load industrial water processing actuators.
Automotive Manufacturing
Utilized in assembly line conveyors to interface with various pilot lights and signaling devices. Its relay contacts are rated for 20,000,000 mechanical cycles, ensuring long-term reliability in repetitive high-cycle production environments.
Food Processing
Implemented in automated packaging systems to control heaters and cooling fans. The isolation between each of the eight points prevents electrical cross-talk between different power circuits used in thermal control processes.
Mining Operations
Used for coordinating heavy-duty material handling equipment and underground ventilation systems. It provides reliable switching of AC and DC loads while maintaining low backplane power consumption in rugged industrial chassis.
Input Filter Frequency Selection：The module's input filter frequency (50 Hz, 60 Hz, 250 Hz, or 500 Hz) determines the channel update time and common mode rejection. You must select a filter frequency that matches your AC line frequency to provide the highest noise rejection.
Lead Wire Resistance Constraints：For 3-wire RTD configurations, the module compensates for lead wire resistance if all three leads are of equal length and material. To maintain specified accuracy, the maximum lead wire resistance must not exceed 25 ohms for any single wire.
Sensor Failure Diagnostics：The 1746-NR4 provides continuous diagnostics for open-circuit and short-circuit conditions. When a failure is detected, the module sets the corresponding error bit in the channel status word, which can be configured to drive the input data to a safe state (upscale or downscale).
What is the primary output configuration for the 1746-IO8 module?
The 1746-IO8 features 8 points of individually isolated relay contact outputs, allowing each output to be used with a different voltage or power source.
What are the maximum operating voltage ranges for 1746-IO8 outputs?
The module supports an operating voltage range of 5 to 125V DC and 5 to 265V AC at 47 to 63 Hz.
What is the maximum continuous current per point for the 1746-IO8?
At 120V AC, the continuous current per point is 2.5 A; at 240V AC, it is 2.0 A; and at 24V DC, it is 2.0 A.
Does the 1746-IO8 module include internal surge suppression?
No, the 1746-IO8 does not include internal surge suppression; users must install external suppression across inductive loads to protect the relay contacts.
What is the backplane current consumption for the 1746-IO8?
The 1746-IO8 module consumes a maximum of 0.060 A from the 5V DC backplane and 0.045 A from the 24V DC backplane.
