Allen-Bradley 2080-LC50-48QBB Micro850 Programmable Logic Controller

Product Overview

The Allen-Bradley 2080-LC50-48QBB serves as the flagship controller for the Micro850 family, designed for large standalone machine applications that require high-density I/O and flexible communication capabilities. This 48-point controller integrates motion control, high-speed counters, and extensive expandability into a single chassis. We supply this unit as 100% Brand New and Original, ensuring your automation project utilizes factory-fresh hardware with full manufacturer warranty support and the latest firmware compatibility.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

• High-Precision Motion Integration: The 2080-LC50-48QBB features 12 high-speed inputs and 4 high-speed outputs. These dedicated hardware points handle Pulse Train Output (PTO) functions, allowing the PLC to control servo drives and stepper motors with micro-second precision for labeling, packaging, and sorting machines.

• Versatile Wiring Flexibility: The input stage supports both Sourcing and Sinking configurations. This dual-category voltage compatibility (12/24V) allows engineers to interface with a wide variety of industrial sensors and field devices without requiring external signal converters.

• Scalable Architecture: While providing 48 points on-board, the Micro850 supports up to four additional expansion I/O modules. This allows for a total I/O count of up to 132 points, protecting your initial investment if system requirements grow in the future.

• Robust Noise Immunity: The digital filtering on the standard DC inputs mitigates the effects of electromagnetic interference (EMI). The 1.5 mA maximum off-state current threshold prevents nuisance tripping from leakage currents commonly found in long-distance field wiring.

FAQs

• What software do I need to program the 2080-LC50-48QBB? You use Connected Components Workbench (CCW) software. This environment supports standard IEC 61131-3 languages, including Ladder Diagram (LD), Function Block Diagram (FBD), and Structured Text (ST).

• Is this a Brand New unit or New Surplus? We guarantee this unit is 100% Brand New and Original. It ships in the manufacturer's original sealed packaging. This ensures the internal real-time clock battery and electronic components possess their full service life.

• Can I use this PLC as a Modbus Master? Yes. The integrated RS-232/485 and Ethernet ports support Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP protocols. This allows the 2080-LC50-48QBB to act as a master or slave, communicating with VFDs, power meters, and third-party HMI terminals.

• What are the mounting requirements for optimal cooling? Mount the unit horizontally on a standard DIN rail. Ensure at least 50mm (2 inches) of clearance on all sides to allow natural convection to dissipate heat, especially when utilizing the high-speed outputs at their maximum rated frequency.
