FLEX I/O · AC DIGITAL OUTPUT
ALLEN-BRADLEY
1794-OA8
FLEX 8 Point Digital Output Module
The 1794-OA8 is an eight-point, non-isolated AC digital output module for the FLEX I/O platform. It is designed for switching 120V AC field loads through a distributed I/O architecture while maintaining a compact modular footprint.

PRODUCT ID
1794-OA8
FLEX I/O AC DIGITAL OUTPUT
|
|
Output Architecture
Eight AC output points are arranged as one non-isolated group. The module is intended for 120V AC field-side switching and operates within an 85…132V AC output range.
Output frequency: 47…63 Hz
|
Current Handling
The module carries a 4.0A total output current rating, with up to 500mA per output at 55°C. At lower ambient temperatures, higher per-channel operating limits apply under the specified loading arrangement.
On-state minimum: 5.0mA per output
|
Switching Response
Both OFF-to-ON and ON-to-OFF output signal delays are specified at a maximum of one-half AC cycle. Each channel has a yellow status indicator driven by logic-side circuitry.
Surge: 7A for 40ms, repeatable every 8 seconds

Field-Side Application Logic
The 1794-OA8 is suited to distributed AC output duties where an eight-point 120V AC interface is required within a FLEX I/O station. The module receives output commands through the FLEX I/O architecture and switches the corresponding field-side AC circuits.

|
Q1 · Is 1794-OA8 suitable when my existing FLEX I/O station needs an 8-point 120V AC replacement?
It is specifically an 8-point, non-isolated 120V AC output module for the FLEX I/O family. Before replacement, verify the terminal-base arrangement, field voltage, load current and the isolation requirement of the existing application.
|
Q2 · When should I choose 1794-OA8 instead of 1794-OA8I?
The key electrical distinction is isolation. 1794-OA8 has no isolation between individual output channels, while 1794-OA8I provides channel-to-channel isolation. If individual channel isolation is part of the control design, the isolated variant should be evaluated instead.
|
|
Q3 · Can 1794-OA8 drive a load near 500mA continuously at the upper temperature limit?
The specified maximum on-state current is 500mA per output at 55°C, with a 4.0A total module rating. Higher per-output limits are specified at lower temperatures, so the actual load profile and ambient temperature should be checked together rather than using the lower-temperature rating at 55°C.
|
Q4 · Does 1794-OA8 include individual output fuses, or should I plan external protection?
The module outputs are not individually fused. Individual output fusing is required. For this module, a 1.6A, 250V AC slow-blow fuse arrangement is specified; compatible fused terminal-base options can also be considered where appropriate.
|
|
Q5 · What should I verify before ordering 1794-OA8 for a high-availability control panel?
Confirm the exact catalog number, required 120V AC output class, eight-point capacity, non-isolated channel arrangement, terminal-base compatibility, expected field load current, ambient temperature and required output protection. These checks help prevent an AC/DC mismatch, an isolation mismatch or a terminal-base mismatch during replacement.
