Allen-Bradley 80026-173-23-R Power Supplies

The Allen-Bradley 80026-173-23-R functions as a specialized DC/DC converter for the PowerFlex 700 series drives. This module provides a regulated 24V DC output to support critical internal control circuits. Furthermore, it ensures that drive logic and communication components receive consistent voltage during operation. Reliable power delivery remains vital for maintaining torque accuracy and motor control stability. Consequently, this supply module acts as a primary energy regulator within the industrial drive assembly. It prevents system failures caused by voltage fluctuations in the main power bus.

Enhanced Environmental Protection

Rockwell Automation equips this power supply with conformal-coated circuit boards to resist industrial pollutants. This protective layer guards the internal electronics against moisture, corrosive vapors, and conductive dust. Therefore, the module maintains high performance in harsh manufacturing environments like chemical or textile plants. Such durability extends the service life of the PowerFlex drive system significantly. It also reduces the frequency of maintenance interventions in high-humidity areas. This design choice highlights the module’s suitability for heavy-duty industrial automation applications.

Efficiency and System Integration

The compact physical footprint of the 80026-173-23-R allows for seamless integration into existing control cabinets. It converts energy with high efficiency to minimize internal heat generation within the drive. Furthermore, the simplified mounting process aids quick field replacement to reduce machine downtime. The unit supports the complex logic requirements of modern PLC-based drive systems. Although the manufacturer discontinued this series in June 2016, it remains a critical spare part. Maintaining a backup unit ensures continued operation for legacy motor control infrastructure.
