Application Solutions
Factory Automation: Powers distributed I/O racks, motor starters, and HMI panels in assembly lines and packaging systems where space optimization is critical.
Process Control: Supports instrumentation networks, valve actuators, and field transmitters in chemical processing, water treatment, and HVAC systems requiring reliable 24VDC power.
Machine Building: Ideal for OEM equipment builders integrating compact control cabinets with mixed automation components from multiple vendors.
Why Choose the 1606-XLS240E?
This power supply combines Rockwell Automation's proven reliability with intelligent design features. The conformal-coated PCB resists moisture, dust, and corrosive atmospheres, extending service life in harsh industrial settings. Wide input voltage tolerance eliminates the need for voltage-specific models, simplifying inventory management. The compact 45mm width saves valuable panel space while maintaining 10A continuous output—sufficient for typical small-to-medium control systems.
Installation & Integration
Snap-mount DIN rail installation takes seconds without tools. Front-accessible terminals accept 12-14 AWG wire for quick field wiring. LED status indicators provide instant diagnostics: green for normal operation, red for fault conditions. The unit integrates seamlessly with Allen-Bradley ControlLogix, CompactLogix, and MicroLogix platforms, as well as third-party PLCs and distributed control systems.
Common Questions
Q: Can this power supply operate in parallel for redundancy?
A: Yes, when paired with the 1606-XLSRED redundancy module, two units provide N+1 backup power with automatic load sharing and diode decoupling.
Q: What's the inrush current during startup?
A: Maximum 30A for 5ms at 230VAC input—well within typical circuit breaker tolerances for C-curve 10A breakers.
Q: Does it support DC input voltage?
A: No, the XLS series requires AC input. For DC input applications, consider the Allen-Bradley 1606-XLP series DC/DC converters.
Q: How do I calculate total load requirements?
A: Sum the current draw of all connected devices at 24VDC. Maintain 80% derating (8A continuous) for optimal thermal performance and longevity.
