2080-LC50-24QWB Micro850 Programmable Logic Controller | Allen Bradley

Product Overview

The Allen Bradley 2080-LC50-24QWB serves as the primary processing segment for the Micro850 expansion-ready control system. Designed for standalone machine applications that require more I/O than the Micro820, this controller supports up to 24 local I/O points and facilitates modular growth via plug-in and expansion I/O modules. We supply this unit as 100% Brand New and Original, ensuring your automation project utilizes current-generation hardware with full manufacturer integrity.

Technical Specifications

The 2080-LC50-24QWB integrates diverse I/O capabilities into a single DIN-rail mountable chassis:

Engineering Advantages

The 2080-LC50-24QWB offers specific technical benefits for system integrators and machine builders:

• Flexible Input Signal Handling: The 14 onboard inputs accept both AC and DC signals at 24V. This versatility eliminates the need for interposing relays when interfacing with mixed-signal field devices, reducing cabinet complexity.

• High-Load Switching: The 10 relay outputs handle higher current loads compared to transistor-based outputs. This allows direct control of small motors and solenoid valves, simplifying the circuit design for heavy-duty industrial applications.

• Integrated Motion Feedback: Four embedded High-Speed Counters (HSC) process rapid pulse trains from encoders. This hardware enables precise positioning and velocity monitoring without requiring specialized external high-speed modules.

• Enhanced Connectivity: The Micro850 architecture includes an embedded USB port for programming and an Ethernet port for seamless integration into factory-wide networks. This facilitates remote monitoring and rapid logic updates via Connected Components Workbench (CCW) software.

FAQs

• What type of power supply does the 2080-LC50-24QWB require?

  The unit requires a 24V DC external power supply. Ensure your power source stays within the 20.4V to 26.4V DC range to prevent logic resets or hardware damage during voltage fluctuations.

• Does this model support expansion I/O?

  Yes. The Micro850 series allows you to add up to four 2085 expansion I/O modules to the right of the controller, plus several plug-in modules on the front face. This allows for significant I/O density increases without consuming substantial DIN rail space.

• What is the recommended wire gauge for the terminal blocks?

  Use solid or stranded copper wire rated for at least 90°C. Tighten terminal screws to a torque of 0.6 Nm (5.3 lb-in.) to maintain electrical continuity and prevent arcing in high-vibration environments.

• Can this controller communicate with other PLCs over Ethernet?

  The 2080-LC50-24QWB supports EtherNet/IP (client/server), Modbus TCP, and symbolic addressing. This enables direct data exchange with other Micro800 controllers, PanelView HMIs, or larger Logix-based systems.
