Product Details
Product Overview
The Allen-Bradley 1606-XLDNET4 functions as a dedicated switched-mode power supply designed specifically for DeviceNet network architectures. It delivers a stabilized 24V DC output at 4 Amps (91 Watts), ensuring consistent voltage for network nodes and communication lines. Although the manufacturer officially discontinued this model in late 2017, we provide this unit as 100% Brand New original stock. This allows maintenance engineers to replace faulty components in existing legacy systems without the need for expensive rewiring or panel redesigns required by newer 1606-XLSDNET4 replacements.

Engineering Advantages
-
Flexible Input Options: The 1606-XLDNET4 supports both AC and DC input ranges. The manual switch allows seamless transitions between 120V and 230V AC, while the wide DC input range (210–375V) accommodates specialized industrial DC bus applications.
-
Network-Specific Regulation: Unlike generic power supplies, this module meets the specific voltage ripple and noise requirements of DeviceNet protocols. It prevents data packet corruption by maintaining a clean power signal across long trunk lines.
-
Simplified DIN-Rail Integration: The rugged mounting clip snaps securely onto standard 35mm DIN-rails. This vertical orientation optimizes airflow and minimizes the footprint within crowded electrical enclosures.
-
Direct Legacy Fit: As a "standard module," this unit maintains the exact physical dimensions of existing installations. This eliminates the mechanical interference issues often encountered when attempting to install modern, differently-sized replacement modules into tight spaces.
FAQs
-
Can the 1606-XLDNET4 handle 240V AC input?
Yes. You must set the input selector switch to the 230V position to safely handle 230/240V AC industrial power sources.
-
How does this differ from the newer 1606-XLSDNET4?
The 1606-XLSDNET4 is the manufacturer's suggested replacement. However, using our 100% Brand New 1606-XLDNET4 ensures a 1:1 hardware match, preserving the original system's engineering documentation and UL/CSA certification parameters.
-
Is the output voltage adjustable?
The unit provides a factory-set 24V DC output optimized for DeviceNet. While most 1606 modules offer minor trimming, users should maintain the 24V setting to remain within DeviceNet network specifications.
-
What mounting orientation provides the best cooling?
Mount the unit vertically on a DIN-rail with the input terminals at the bottom. Leave at least 40mm of clearance above and below the module to facilitate natural convection cooling.

Tech & Buying Guide
Optimizing Power Supply Sizing for Industrial Automation Systems
The power supply is the silent heartbeat of any industrial automation system. While engineers often prioritize processors and communication protocols, a stable power architecture remains the most critical factor for long-term reliability. In my 15 years of experience, I have found that neglecting power supply sizing often leads to ghost errors, intermittent field device failures, and costly production downtime.
PLC vs. PAC: Navigating Selection in Modern Industrial Automation
Selecting the right controller is a fundamental decision in industrial automation. While the lines between Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) and Programmable Automation Controllers (PAC) often blur, understanding their core architectural differences is essential for system reliability. Both controllers serve as the brain of control systems, yet their specific capabilities dictate their suitability for various factory automation tasks.
Transforming Textile Manufacturing: The Strategic Integration of Industrial Automation and AI
The textile industry stands at a critical technological crossroads. Legacy operations must now embrace digital transformation to remain competitive in a global market. By integrating advanced industrial automation—ranging from PLC-controlled machinery to sophisticated AI-driven analytics—manufacturers can significantly boost productivity, minimize material waste, and elevate overall product quality.
