Overview
The Allen-Bradley 1755-PB720 is a GuardPLC 2000 power supply module designed for industrial safety and automation applications. This power supply is rated for a voltage of 20.4 to 28.8 volts DC and converts the system supply voltage from 24 volts to 3.3 volts DC/5 volts DC, which is used for the internal I/O Bus. This unit was discontinued by the manufacturer on 2011-10-30, making it a legacy replacement part ideal for maintenance and repair of established GuardPLC 2000 systems.
Key Features
- Forms part of the GuardPLC 2000 modular system which broadly consists of a CPU module, a power supply module, and up to 6 local I/O modules
- Comes equipped with a back-up lithium battery, which has a life span of 4 years
- Front panel is equipped with 4 status indication LEDs that show the power supply voltage (24 volts), as well as output battery voltages for 3.3V DC and 5V DC
- Module can be back panel mounted on to the chassis and is located in the left-most slot of the GuardPLC 2000 chassis
- Tested, fully functional used equipment ready for integration
