Allen-Bradley 5069-OW4I Isolated Relay Output Module

Product Overview

The is a for the .

It is designed for applications that require , allowing each channel to control independent loads safely.

Key Specifications (verified)

• Allen-Bradley (Rockwell Automation)

• Compact 5000 I/O

• 5069-OW4I

• 4 outputs

• Normally Open (Form A) relay contacts

• 5–264 VAC

Key Features

• 4

• Can switch

• No shared common between channels (high flexibility)
• True dry contact output (no leakage current)
• Suitable for mixed-voltage control systems
• LED status indication per channel
• Strong integration with Studio 5000

Working Principle

Each output channel contains a :

• PLC ON → relay closes → load powered
• PLC OFF → relay opens → load disconnected

Because each channel is isolated:

• Each output can control a

• No electrical coupling between channels

Advantages

• Highest flexibility among 5069 output modules
• Supports mixed AC/DC loads on different channels
• Excellent electrical isolation (reduces interference risk)
• Safer for complex wiring systems
• Ideal for retrofit and multi-voltage panels
• No leakage current issues (unlike triac modules)

Applications

• Industrial control panels
• Mixed-voltage machine systems
• Signal switching / interposing control
• Solenoid and contactor control
• Safety-related auxiliary switching
• OEM automation systems

Precautions

• Mechanical relay →

• Not suitable for high-speed switching applications
• Inductive loads require protection:
• AC: RC snubber / MOV
• DC: flyback diode
• Even though isolated:
• Must still follow correct wiring standards
• Must not exceed per-channel current rating
• Channel isolation improves flexibility but not overload capacity
