Engineering Advantages
-
Superior Energy Efficiency: This power supply achieves up to 95.3% efficiency. This high conversion rate minimizes heat dissipation within the control cabinet, which significantly extends the lifespan of surrounding sensitive electronic components and reduces cooling costs.
-
Massive Peak Power Reserve: The unit provides 1440W of short-term output power (up to 4 seconds). This 50% power boost handles the high inrush currents required to start large DC motors or engage multiple heavy-duty solenoids simultaneously without causing voltage drops.
-
Stable Three-Phase Balancing: The 1606-XL960E-3 utilizes all three phases of the AC input. This balanced loading prevents neutral wire overloading and reduces the harmonic distortion typically found in high-wattage single-phase supplies.
-
Wide Thermal Operating Range: The device maintains full performance down to -25 °C and operates up to +70 °C. Integrated derating logic (24W/°C above +60 °C) ensures hardware protection while maintaining system stability in extreme environmental conditions.
-
Low Inrush Startup: An optimized startup circuit limits the AC inrush current to a mere 4.5A peak. This prevents nuisance tripping of input circuit breakers, even when multiple power supplies activate on the same branch circuit.
FAQs
-
Can I adjust the output voltage if my application requires more than 24V?
Yes. The front-mounted potentiometer allows you to adjust the output between 24V and 28V DC. This compensates for voltage drops across long field cable runs, ensuring the remote device receives exactly the required voltage.
-
What type of circuit breaker should I use for the 3-phase input?
We recommend using a 3-pole miniature circuit breaker with a "C" or "D" characteristic. Given the 1.65A nominal input current, a 6A or 10A breaker typically provides optimal protection while allowing for the unit's minor inrush.
-
How does the 1606-XL960E-3 handle brief power interruptions?
The module features a 25ms hold-up time. This internal energy buffer maintains a steady 24V DC output during minor "flickers" or grid switching events, preventing PLC resets or system crashes.
-
Is this a factory-sealed unit?
Absolutely. We guarantee this 1606-XL960E-3 is 100% Brand New original hardware. It arrives in the original Allen Bradley factory-sealed box with all technical documentation and UPC (662073044109) intact.

Tech & Buying Guide
Understanding VFD Mechanical Brake Logic and Control in Industrial Automation
Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) play a crucial role in modern industrial automation by controlling motor speed, torque, and acceleration. However, high-inertia loads and vertical lifting systems require precise mechanical braking logic to ensure operational safety and prevent equipment damage.
Why Programmable Logic Controllers Drop into Stop Mode: An Expert Analysis
Industrial automation systems rely heavily on Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) to maintain uninterrupted production. When a PLC unexpectedly shifts from Run to Stop mode, whole manufacturing lines stall.
As control systems evolve across modern factory automation, understanding the root causes of these interruptions helps engineers minimize costly downtime. This technical guide breaks down why PLCs trip into Stop mode and provides practical strategies to mitigate system faults.
Understanding Root Causes of Unplanned PLC Stop Mode in Industrial Automation
Modern Programmable Logic Controllers manage execution through distinct operational states: Run, Stop, Start-Up, and Hold. During power-up, a controller initializes memory registers within Stop mode before briefly transitioning to Start-Up mode. During this phase, internal self-diagnostics evaluate system integrity across hardware and user programs. If the controller detects no critical faults, it enters Run mode to execute the control program continuously. However, any severe system anomaly forces the CPU back into Stop mode immediately to prevent erratic machine behavior across the plant floor.
