Overview
Allen-Bradley 1771-P4S Series B is a single-slot power supply module designed for the PLC-5/1771 industrial automation platform. This module delivers power to the backplane which is used by any Allen-Bradley 1771 modules to operate their individual circuitries. The power supply is capable of providing an output voltage of 5VDC and output current of 8 Amperes.
Key Features
- Input voltage requirement of 97–132VAC, 47–63 Hz
- Supports parallel cabling and pairing to another power supply unit for increased output
- Comes with a replaceable fuse: 1.5A, 250V Slow-blow
- Weighs 1.85 lbs (0.84 kg) and uses a 5-position terminal block
- Sealed industrial construction for reliable operation in harsh environments
- Includes certifications from CE, C-Tick, C-UL, and UL standards

Typical Applications
The 1771-P4S is widely used in legacy PLC-5 systems and 1771-based automation platforms. Up to two of these supplies may be used as dictated by the power requirements of the 1771 series I/O modules contained in the Universal I/O Chassis. Common applications include industrial control systems, machine automation, process control, and equipment retrofits where reliable 5V backplane power is essential.
