Overview
The Allen-Bradley 1771-P4S is a single-slot AC power supply module designed for the 1771 Universal I/O chassis platform. The 1771-P4S Power Supply Module is a 5V, 8A power supply that can be used in the 1771-A1B, -A2B, -A3B, and -A4B Universal I/O Chassis. Supplying 5VDC at up to 8 Amps, it delivers stable backplane power for PLC-5 and 1771 I/O modules. This discontinued but widely available module provides regulated DC power directly to the I/O backplane, supporting both single and parallel configurations for increased capacity.
Key Features
- Input voltage range is 97 – 132 VAC rms at a frequency of 47 – 63 Hz
- Capable of delivering a regulated 5VDC output at up to 8 Amperes, the 1771-P4S supports substantial I/O loads
- Protected with a 1.5A 250V Slow-blow fuse located on the front panel
- Multiple power supplies can be connected in parallel using 1771-CT cabling, offering increased current capacity and improved operational reliability
- The front contains a P/S ACTIVE (power supply active) indicator that, when illuminated green, indicates the power supply and any supply connected through a power supply paralleling cable is operating normally
- Uses a 5-position terminal block (Allen-Bradley P/N 941274-05) for convenient wiring and supports 14 AWG single-wire copper conductors
