Product Description: Allen-Bradley 1794-OA8I
The Allen-Bradley 1794-OA8I is an 8-channel digital output module designed for the FLEX I/O platform. It features isolated triac outputs capable of switching AC loads up to 264V, making it suitable for controlling relays, contactors, indicators, and other AC-powered devices. Each output is individually isolated, providing high reliability and protection for systems where independent AC signal control is required.
Key Features
- 8 individually isolated AC output channels
- Triac-based switching for 120/240V AC loads
- Supports 47–63 Hz frequency range
- Output status indication via onboard LEDs
- Compatible with FLEX I/O terminal bases (e.g., 1794-TB3S)
- Each channel can operate independently, ideal for diverse AC applications
