Frequently Asked Questions about 1606-XL480EP
Question: What is the 1606-XL480EP used for?
Date Update:17/06/2025
Answer:

The 1606-XL480EP is a switched-mode power supply module designed to deliver regulated DC power in industrial automation systems. It is widely used in control panels, PLC systems, sensor networks, and machine-level circuits where stable 24V or 28V DC power is required. The unit’s robust power output of 480W and 20A ensures reliable performance for powering demanding loads, including I/O modules, contactors, and field instrumentation. With its compact size and high efficiency, it supports space-saving designs and energy-efficient operation in manufacturing, process control, and OEM panels.

Question: What are the main technical specifications?
Date Update:17/06/2025
Answer:
  • Output Power: 480 Watts
  • Input Voltage: 100–240V AC or 24–28V DC
  • Output Voltage: 24–28V DC
  • Output Current: 20 Amps
  • Efficiency: ≥90.5%
  • Frequency Range: 47–63 Hz
  • MTBF: 519,000 hours
  • Mounting: DIN rail
Question: Can it be used in redundant power applications?
Date Update:17/06/2025
Answer:

Yes, it supports parallel operation with redundancy modules, enabling fault-tolerant power architecture. This is especially useful for critical systems where uninterrupted power is essential. In this configuration, two 1606-XL480EP units can supply the same load with automatic switchover if one fails.

Question: How to mount and connect the 1606-XL480EP?
Date Update:17/06/2025
Answer:

To mount and wire this power supply:

  • Attach the unit to a DIN-35 rail using the snap-fit mounting feature.
  • Connect the AC input terminals to a 100–240V AC source or a 24–28V DC source.
  • Wire the DC output terminals to your load circuits (24V or 28V DC devices).
  • Verify terminal torque values and ensure wire size meets the 20A current requirement.
  • Observe proper polarity, and check the LED indicator for output status once energized.
Question: Is it still in production and supported?
Date Update:17/06/2025
Answer:

The Allen-Bradley 1606-XL480EP power supply is no longer in production. According to the official Rockwell Automation lifecycle notice, this model was discontinued on October 30, 2017.
