Engineering Advantages
-
Lossless Decoupling Logic: The 1606-XLSRED80 utilizes high-performance diode or MOSFET technology to isolate parallel power supplies. This isolation prevents a short circuit on the input side of one power supply from affecting the output bus, ensuring the secondary supply takes over the load instantly.
-
Massive Current Handling: This module manages up to 80 Amps in dual-input mode. It accommodates large-scale I/O racks and high-power motor drives within a compact 1.00 lb housing, eliminating the need for bulky, custom-built diode arrays.
-
Streamlined Troubleshooting: The module simplifies diagnostic routines by providing clear separation between power sources. Maintenance teams can hot-swap a failed power supply unit without shutting down the controller or the manufacturing line.
-
Passive Cooling Efficiency: The hardware design maximizes heat dissipation without internal fans. This enhances reliability in dusty or oil-mist environments common in automotive and heavy machining industries, where fan-based cooling often leads to premature component failure.
FAQs
-
What is the voltage drop across this module?
The 1606-XLSRED80 incurs a nominal voltage drop of approximately 0.7V DC between the input and output. To maintain exactly 24V DC at your load, adjust the output voltage of your primary power supplies to 24.7V DC.
-
Can I use this module to combine two different power supply brands?
Yes, provided both power supplies operate within the 24-28V DC range and share a common ground. However, for optimal load balancing and thermal stability, we recommend using matched Allen-Bradley 1606 series power supplies.
-
Does this unit ship in original factory packaging?
Absolutely. We ship each 1606-XLSRED80 as 100% Brand New original hardware in its factory-sealed box. This guarantees the integrity of the internal components and ensures the product meets all original manufacturer performance specifications.
-
How do I wire this for maximum redundancy?
Connect the output of "Power Supply A" to Input 1 and "Power Supply B" to Input 2. Join the common output terminal to your load. This configuration allows the 1606-XLSRED80 to pull the full 80A current capacity or provide a 1+1 redundant failover for 40A loads.

Tech & Buying Guide
Strategic Selection: Choosing the Right SCADA Software for Your PLC Project
In industrial automation, the SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system acts as the bridge between raw machine data and actionable human intelligence. Selecting the incorrect software platform can lead to integration bottlenecks, scalability issues, and excessive long-term maintenance costs. As an automation consultant with 15 years of experience, I have guided many projects through the selection process. Below are the essential criteria for choosing a platform that ensures both performance and longevity.
Ensuring Operational Continuity: The Strategic Value of Redundant Automation Systems
In modern industrial landscapes, unplanned downtime is the ultimate adversary. For sectors relying on complex PLC and DCS architectures, a single hardware failure can trigger catastrophic production losses. Therefore, implementing redundant automation systems is no longer a luxury; it is a fundamental requirement for mission-critical operations. In this article, I analyze why redundancy remains the backbone of reliable industrial infrastructure.
Selecting the Right Cables for Industrial Automation: A Comprehensive Guide
Selecting the appropriate cabling infrastructure is critical for the success of any industrial automation project. Improper cable selection often leads to signal degradation, system instability, and costly downtime. As an automation engineer, I frequently see projects compromised by poor cabling choices in harsh industrial environments. This guide simplifies the complex landscape of cabling to help you make informed decisions for your PLC, DCS, and control systems.
