Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Allen-Bradley 2080-PS120-240VAC?
It is a Rockwell Automation Micro800 external AC-to-DC power supply designed to provide 24 VDC power for compatible programmable controllers and expansion I/O systems.
What is the rated output voltage?
The rated output is 24 VDC. It is an AC-input, DC-output power supply and should not be confused with an AC-output power module.
What is the maximum output current?
The manufacturer specifies 1.6 A maximum output current, corresponding to a maximum output power of 38.4 W at 24 VDC.
What input voltage does the power supply accept?
Rockwell Automation lists nominal input ranges of 100–120 VAC at 1 A and 200–240 VAC at 0.5 A. Its installation instructions also state that source-voltage fluctuations must remain within 85–264 VAC.
What is the supported AC input frequency?
The specified frequency range is 47–63 Hz, covering common nominal 50 Hz and 60 Hz industrial supplies.
Can the power supply be used with Micro850 and Micro870 controllers?
Yes. It is intended for compatible Micro800 controller power arrangements. Controller selection, optional expansion I/O and the combined power requirement must be checked against the 38.4 W output capacity.
Can it power expansion I/O modules?
It can supply compatible Micro800 controller and expansion-system power arrangements, but it does not replace the expansion backplane or any separately required expansion power supply. The complete electrical design must meet the applicable controller and I/O power requirements.
Does the power supply provide two separate 24 VDC outputs?
It provides two positive and two negative DC output terminals. These should not be interpreted as two independently rated 1.6 A outputs; the total rated supply output is 24 VDC at 1.6 A.
How are the AC input terminals arranged?
PAC-1 is the AC line or hot terminal, PAC-2 is the AC neutral terminal and PAC-3 is protective earth. Proper grounding is mandatory, and installation must follow the manufacturer wiring diagram and applicable electrical codes.
What are the DC output terminal assignments?
DC-1 and DC-2 are positive 24 VDC terminals, while DC-3 and DC-4 are negative terminals. Verify terminal markings and polarity before energizing connected equipment.
Does the 2080-PS120-240VAC provide electrical isolation?
Yes. Rockwell Automation specifies reinforced primary-to-secondary insulation, a 250 V continuous isolation rating and a SELV-classified DC output under the applicable product documentation.
Can this power supply be used for safety-rated circuits?
Rockwell Automation identifies the product as not suitable for safety functions. Safety-related power requirements must be evaluated using components specifically approved for the intended safety architecture.
Can the module be mounted on a DIN rail?
Yes. It supports a 35 × 7.5 mm DIN rail and panel mounting. The February 2024 installation instructions specify vertical installation and describe panel mounting with two M4 or #8 screws.
What are the dimensions and weight?
The power supply measures 90 mm high, 45 mm wide and 80 mm deep. Rockwell Automation's product catalog lists an approximate weight of 0.34 kg; consult the applicable document revision for shipping-weight information.
What is the operating temperature range?
The specified operating temperature range is -20 to +65°C, with 5–95% noncondensing relative humidity. Suitable cabinet ventilation must be provided according to Rockwell Automation installation instructions.
What is the difference between 2080-PS120-240VAC and 2080-PSAC-12W?
The 2080-PS120-240VAC provides a maximum of 24 VDC at 1.6 A or 38.4 W. The 2080-PSAC-12W is a different lower-power supply with temperature-dependent output ratings. They should not be substituted without checking the power budget and installation specifications.
Is the 2080-PS120-240VAC discontinued?
Rockwell Automation currently lists the 2080-PS120-240VAC as an Active product in its catalog. Lifecycle status should be reconfirmed when planning future equipment maintenance.
What should be checked before ordering?
Confirm catalog number 2080-PS120-240VAC, 100–120 VAC or 200–240 VAC nominal input supply, 47–63 Hz frequency, 24 VDC output, 1.6 A maximum current, 38.4 W power rating, Micro800 controller compatibility, total connected load, terminal polarity, protective-earth wiring, IP20 enclosure, 90 × 45 × 80 mm dimensions and suitable mounting and ventilation arrangements.
