To route alarm statuses (such as a power supply failure) back to a PLC input card, engineers utilize the integrated \"DC-OK\" dry relay contacts built directly into the upstream Bulletin 1606 power supplies rather than relying on the redundancy module itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Allen-Bradley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52902715130165,"sku":"1606-XLRED20-30","price":66.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0973\/7630\/5461\/files\/1606-XLRED20-30.png?v=1779242901","url":"https:\/\/www.5gplc.com\/products\/1606-xlred20-30-allen-bradley-bulletin-1606-dual-redundancy-module","provider":"High Five PLC Solution Limited","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
