Application Scenarios
Distributed Control Systems: Powers remote I/O modules, fieldbus couplers, and edge devices in modular automation architectures where cabinet space is at a premium.
Sensor & Actuator Networks: Provides dedicated 24V DC rails for proximity sensors, photoelectric sensors, solenoid valves, and indicator lights in packaging, material handling, and assembly systems.
Compact Machine Builders: Fits into tight enclosures for OEM equipment such as benchtop testers, medical device automation, and laboratory instrumentation requiring clean, regulated DC power.
Retrofit & Modernization: Replaces aging linear power supplies in legacy panels, reducing heat generation and improving energy efficiency without requiring panel redesign.
Why Choose the 1606-XLP30E?
Space-Saving Design: At just 22.5mm wide, the XLP series occupies 40% less panel space than conventional 30W supplies, freeing up room for additional components or enabling smaller enclosure selection.
Universal Input Flexibility: Wide 100-240V AC input range eliminates the need for voltage selection switches, simplifying global deployment and reducing inventory complexity for multi-region machine builders.
Robust Protection: Built-in safeguards against overload, short-circuit, and thermal events ensure continuous operation even under fault conditions, with automatic recovery once the fault clears—minimizing downtime.
Rockwell Ecosystem Integration: Seamlessly integrates with Allen-Bradley PLCs, I/O systems, and HMIs, backed by comprehensive technical documentation and global support infrastructure.
Common Questions
Q: Can the 1606-XLP30E be used in parallel for redundancy?
A: Yes, when paired with the 1606-XLSRED redundancy module, two XLP units can provide N+1 redundant power with automatic load sharing and diode-OR protection.
Q: What is the recommended derating curve?
A: Full 1.3A output is available up to 50°C ambient. Above 50°C, derate linearly to 0.9A at 70°C maximum operating temperature.
Q: Does this model support DC input?
A: No, the 1606-XLP30E is AC input only. For DC input applications, consider the 1606-XLP30DR variant with 18-32V DC input range.
Q: Is conformal coating applied for harsh environments?
A: Standard units are not conformally coated. For high-humidity or corrosive environments, request conformal coating option or use the 1606-XLP30E-3 variant with enhanced environmental protection.
Installation & Compatibility
Mount directly onto standard 35mm DIN rail using the integrated spring-loaded clip. Ensure minimum 10mm clearance above and below for convection cooling. Input terminals accept 12-24 AWG wire (0.5-2.5mm²); output terminals accept 14-22 AWG (0.75-2.5mm²). Torque to 0.5-0.6 Nm.
Compatible with Allen-Bradley CompactLogix, MicroLogix, and ControlLogix systems, as well as third-party PLCs and I/O requiring 24V DC supply. Pair with 1606-XLS series for higher power requirements or 1606-XLSRED modules for redundant configurations.
Warranty & Support
Backed by a 12-month manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Technical support available through authorized Allen-Bradley distributors and Rockwell Automation's global support network.
