The module provides 16 digital output points that can be used to control various devices such as solenoids, motors, lights, and other discrete components.

The 1746-OV16 module is designed to work with the SLC 500 rack-based system. It uses a 24V DC power supply and offers a high-density configuration, allowing you to save space in your control cabinet. Each output point is capable of sinking current up to 0.5 Amps, and the module is equipped with LED indicators to display the status of each output point.

To use the 1746-OV16 module in your control system, you would typically connect it to the SLC 500 controller using the backplane communication system. The configuration and programming of the module can be done using the RSLogix 500 software, which is the programming environment for the SLC 500 series.
