Allen Bradley 2080-OB4 Micro800 Digital Output Plug-in Module

Product Overview

The Allen Bradley 2080-OB4 functions as a high-density digital output expansion for the Micro800 PLC family. This module inserts directly into the controller's plug-in bays, providing four additional sourcing 24V DC outputs. As a 100% Brand New original component, it allows engineers to scale their I/O count without expanding the physical rail space of the control cabinet. It excels in driving small relays, solenoids, and indicator lights in space-constrained automation skids.

Technical Specifications

The 2080-OB4 operates within a broad DC voltage range to accommodate standard industrial power fluctuations.

Engineering Advantages

• Zero-Footprint Expansion: The plug-in architecture eliminates the need for extra DIN rail space. You secure the module directly into the Micro810, Micro820, or Micro850 chassis, maintaining a compact enclosure profile.

• Simplified Wiring Integration: Sourcing outputs simplify the wiring of DC loads by switching the positive side of the circuit. This aligns with standard safety practices for North American and European industrial machinery.

• High-Efficiency Switching: With a maximum current rating of 0.5A per point, this module directly triggers pneumatic valves and contactors, removing the necessity for intermediate interposing relays in many circuit designs.

• Hot-Swap Compatibility: The mechanical design allows for rapid insertion and removal during the initial assembly phase, reducing labor time during panel builds and system testing.

FAQs

• Which Micro800 controllers support the 2080-OB4?

  This module fits the Micro810 (using the 12-pt adapter), Micro820, Micro830, Micro850, and Micro870 controllers. It does not occupy a standard I/O slot but utilizes the dedicated plug-in bay on the front of the CPU.

• Can I use the 2080-OB4 to drive high-current motors?

  No. Each output supports a maximum of 0.5A. For high-current motors, use this module to trigger a larger power contactor or motor starter.

• How do I configure the outputs in the software?

  You define the module's slot location within Connected Components Workbench (CCW) software. The software recognizes the 2080-OB4 once you add it to the project hardware configuration.

• Is this a genuine Allen Bradley part?

  Yes. We supply only 100% Brand New and original Allen Bradley hardware. Each module arrives in factory-sealed packaging with its original UPC and batch tracking information.
