The 1606-XLS240E belongs to the Allen-Bradley Bulletin 1606-XL Performance series. This switched-mode power supply delivers 24V DC output with 240W rated power. System integrators pick it for machine building, process control, and panel assembly projects. The unit accepts single-phase wide-range AC input from 100 to 240V AC nominal. Furthermore, its output stays adjustable from 24 to 28V DC to match field device needs. A DC OK relay contact provides a simple status signal for monitoring. Therefore, maintenance teams can detect supply faults without extra hardware. Spring clamp terminals speed up wiring and reduce installation time. Besides, the BonusPower reserve feature supports short load peaks beyond the rated current. Its compact 49mm width saves DIN rail space inside crowded cabinets. In short, the 1606-XLS240E combines robust performance with fast, tool-free connection.
First, the input stage accepts 100 to 240V AC nominal for single-phase systems. Next, the output provides 24V DC nominal and remains adjustable from 24 to 28V DC. Output current reaches 10A maximum, which yields 240W rated power. Moreover, the Performance series includes BonusPower reserve power for brief high-load events. This feature helps during motor startup or capacitor charging. The DC OK relay contact supplies a dry signal for status monitoring. Additionally, spring clamp terminals accept standard field wiring without screw tools. Protection covers overload and short-circuit conditions per series design. Finally, the unit carries UL 60950-1, cUL, and CE marks under the Bulletin 1606 standard.
The 1606-XLS240E has no built-in communication ports or protocols. Instead, a DC OK relay contact delivers a dry status signal. This contact suits PLC digital inputs, alarm lamps, or panel indicators. For instance, wire the relay to a controller input to flag supply faults. Consequently, commissioning stays simple and costs remain low. If you need fieldbus diagnostics, add an external monitoring module. Otherwise, the relay contact covers most basic status needs.
The housing measures 124 × 49 × 127 mm and weighs 0.78 kg. It carries an IP20 protection rating, so it suits protected cabinet interiors. Operating temperature spans -25 to +70°C for continuous duty. Storage temperature ranges from -40 to +85°C when non-operating. Humidity tolerance reaches 5 to 95% for indoor environments. The 49mm width balances heat dissipation and rail space. Besides, wall mounting holes offer layout flexibility when DIN rail space runs short.
Begin by snapping the unit onto a 35mm DIN rail or fastening it to a wall. Next, strip the input wires and insert them into the spring clamp terminals. Then, set the output voltage between 24 and 28V DC to match your load. After that, wire the DC OK relay contact to your monitoring circuit. Ensure adequate ventilation around the housing during operation. Finally, verify the output with a meter before energizing downstream equipment. The 1606-XLS240E ships as an active product with full Rockwell support.
