Product Overview
The Allen Bradley 1606-XLS960E Power Supply is an industrial power supply used to establish the DC power infrastructure for automation and control equipment. It belongs to the Allen Bradley 1606 power supply family and is suitable for control cabinets where PLCs, I/O systems, instrumentation, relays, communication equipment, and other electrical loads require a stable DC source.
In a larger automation installation, the power supply is normally positioned between the incoming electrical distribution and the low-voltage control network. Its output can be routed through the cabinet’s distribution and protection components to supply multiple downstream devices.
The 1606-XLS960E is suited to applications where the control system requires a higher-capacity power supply rather than a small point-of-use DC source. For system replacement or expansion, engineers should evaluate the total connected load and operating conditions of the complete DC circuit.

Product Features
The 1606-XLS960E is intended for applications where the automation system requires a substantial DC power source within the control cabinet.
Key characteristics include:
- Allen Bradley 1606 Series industrial power supply
- Intended for automation and control applications
- Provides DC power for compatible control equipment
- Suitable for PLC and I/O system power distribution
- Can supply multiple downstream control loads
- Applicable to industrial control cabinets
- Suitable for machine and factory automation
- Useful for centralized control-power architectures
- Appropriate for system replacement and expansion projects
- Suitable for installations requiring a higher-capacity power source
The actual number of connected devices should be determined from their combined electrical requirements rather than from the number of devices alone.
Working Principle
The 1606-XLS960E functions as the main conversion stage for the cabinet’s DC control-power network.
A simplified arrangement is:
Incoming Electrical Supply → 1606-XLS960E → DC Distribution → Automation Loads
The incoming supply enters the power unit and passes through its internal conversion and regulation circuitry. The resulting DC output is then delivered to the control cabinet’s distribution network.
From there, individual circuits can supply PLC hardware, I/O modules, sensors, relays, communication equipment, and other compatible loads.
In a centralized control architecture, the power supply therefore serves as a common electrical source for several parts of the automation system. This also means that its operating condition should be considered whenever multiple downstream devices exhibit simultaneous power-related faults.
Role in Industrial Control Architecture
The 1606-XLS960E can occupy the central power-supply position in a control cabinet.
Main Power Distribution → 1606-XLS960E → DC Protection / Distribution → PLC / I/O / Instrumentation / Communication Equipment
| System Layer | Typical Component | Function |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Power | Cabinet Power Distribution | Supplies incoming electrical power |
| Power Conversion | 1606-XLS960E | Establishes the DC control supply |
| DC Distribution | Terminal Blocks / Protection | Distributes power to individual circuits |
| Control | PLC / Controller | Executes automation logic |
| I/O | Digital / Analog Modules | Interfaces with field equipment |
| Instrumentation | Sensors / Transmitters | Measures process conditions |
| Communication | Network Equipment | Exchanges system data |
This arrangement allows the control system to maintain a dedicated low-voltage electrical infrastructure separate from the higher-power motor and machine circuits.
Industrial Applications
The 1606-XLS960E is relevant to automation installations with significant DC control-power requirements.
| Application | Typical Use |
|---|---|
| Factory Automation | Centralized control-system power |
| Production Lines | PLC and I/O power distribution |
| Material Handling | Conveyor and control equipment |
| Packaging Systems | Automation and instrumentation power |
| Process Automation | Control and measurement circuits |
| Machine Building | Central control cabinet supply |
| Industrial Robotics | Control and interface equipment |
| Plant Retrofit | Replacement of existing DC power hardware |
Installation and Maintenance
Because the power supply can serve multiple downstream loads, installation should begin with a complete power-budget assessment.
Recommended checks include:
- Confirm the exact 1606-XLS960E model.
- Verify the incoming electrical supply.
- Confirm the required DC output characteristics.
- Calculate the continuous load of all connected equipment.
- Consider startup and transient current requirements.
- Check whether additional equipment may be added later.
- Verify cable sizing and expected voltage drop.
- Inspect input and output terminals.
- Check cabinet ventilation and heat dissipation.
- Inspect wiring for loose or damaged connections.
- Verify protective devices associated with the DC circuit.
- Measure the output voltage under operating load.
- Monitor downstream equipment after commissioning.
If a control cabinet experiences widespread PLC, I/O, or communication interruptions at the same time, technicians should examine the common DC power path before assuming that multiple electronic modules have failed independently.

Technical FAQs
What role does the Allen Bradley 1606-XLS960E play in an automation system?
The 1606-XLS960E serves as a central power source for compatible DC control circuits. It can supply the electrical power required by PLC hardware, I/O modules, instrumentation, communication equipment, and other control loads.
How should the DC load be calculated before installing a 1606-XLS960E?
The expected current consumption of all continuously operating devices should be added together, while startup demand and possible future expansion should also be considered. The cabinet’s wiring, distribution, and protective devices should then be evaluated as part of the same power design.
Why can a power supply fault affect several automation devices at the same time?
Multiple PLC, I/O, sensor, and communication components may share the same DC power network. If the common supply becomes unstable or unavailable, several devices can reset or drop offline simultaneously, creating multiple alarms from a single power-related problem.
What is important when integrating the 1606-XLS960E into a control cabinet?
Engineers should verify the electrical input, DC output requirements, connected load, wiring, protection, heat dissipation, and distribution architecture. Proper separation of power and signal wiring is also important for maintaining a clean control-panel installation.
