The 1606-XLE240E belongs to the Allen-Bradley Bulletin 1606-XL Essential series. This switched-mode power supply delivers 24V DC output with 240W rated power. Panel builders pick it for machine control, packaging lines, and general automation cabinets. The unit accepts single-phase wide-range AC input from 100 to 240V AC nominal. It also supports 110 to 300V DC input for battery-backed systems. 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. Screw terminals deliver secure, familiar wiring for service technicians. Besides, a dynamic 120% power boost supports startup currents at up to +45°C. This burst helps during motor startup or capacitor charging. In short, the 1606-XLE240E combines wide input flexibility, solid protection, and straightforward installation.
First, the input stage accepts 100 to 240V AC nominal, with an operational range of 90 to 264V AC. It also supports 110 to 300V DC input for DC-backed systems. Next, the output provides 24V DC nominal and stays adjustable from 24 to 28V DC. Output current reaches 10A maximum, which yields 240W rated power. Moreover, typical efficiency reaches 93.7%, which keeps heat loss low inside enclosures. Ripple and noise stay at 50mV maximum, protecting sensitive loads. Additionally, a dynamic 120% power boost handles short load peaks at up to +45°C. Protection covers overload and short-circuit events per series design. Finally, the unit carries UL 60950-1, cUL, and CE marks under the Bulletin 1606 standard.
The 1606-XLE240E 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 × 39 × 117 mm and weighs 0.60 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 starts at -25°C as the published lower bound. Humidity tolerance reaches 5 to 95% non-condensing for indoor environments. The 39mm width saves valuable DIN rail space in crowded panels. Besides, wall mounting holes offer layout flexibility when 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 secure them in the screw 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-XLE240E ships as an active product with full Rockwell support.
