A compact size, light weight, simple mounting on
the DIN rail and the quick connect spring-clamp
terminals are what makes the 1606-XLP power
supplies so easy to use and install in seconds.

A rugged electrical and mechanical design as well as
a high immunity against electrical disturbances on
the mains provides reliable output power. This oers
superior protection for equipment connected
to the public mains network or exposed to a critical
industrial environment.

The 1606-XLP series oers output voltages from 5 to
56Vdc and a power rating of up to 100W. A DC-OK
signal allows remote diagnostics.

The supplementary decoupling diode
module 1606-XLPRED helps you build redundant
systems or protect against back-feed voltages.

Note: At no load, the hold-up time can be up to several seconds. The green DC-ok lamp is also on at this time.

9. DC-OK Output

This feature monitors the output voltage, which is present on the output terminals.
The signal is a source output which can feed loads up to 30mA. Loads can be a 24V relay (Rcoil < 700Ohm), a LED or

the input of a PLC system. The relays operates or the LED is on if output voltage exceeds the threshold level.
A wheeling diode (necessary when the load is a relay) is already included in the power supply.

Threshold value 20V +/-4%
Output current min. 30mA For typical values see Fig. 9-2
Output voltage min Vout – 1V

at 30mA

The open collector is internally linked to the positive output pole. The
DC-OK voltage is approximately the output voltage if the output voltage
is higher than the threshold level.

Peak current capability (up to several ms)

The power supply can deliver a peak current which is higher than the specied short term current. This helps to start
current demanding loads or to safely operate subsequent circuit breakers.

The extra current is supplied by the output capacitors inside the power supply. During this event, the capacitors will
be discharged and cause a voltage dip on the output. Detailed curves can be found in section 27.1.

The Lifetime expectancy shown in the table indicates the operating hours (service life) and is determined by the
lifetime expectancy of the built-in electrolytic capacitors.

Lifetime expectancy is specied in operational hours. Lifetime expectancy is calculated according to specications
from the manufacturer of the capacitor. The prediction model allows a calculation of up to 15 years from shipping date.

MTBF stands for Mean Time Between Failures; it is calculated according to statistical device failures and indicates
reliability of a device. It is the statistical representation of the likelihood of failure of a unit and does not necessarily
represent the life of a product.

26. Application Notes

26.1. Peak Current Capability

Solenoids, contactors and pneumatic modules often have a steady state (sealed) coil and a pick-up coil. The inrush
current demand of the pick-up coil is several times higher than the steady state curre nt and usually exceeds the
nominal output current. The same situation applies when starting a capacitive load.

Branch circuits are often protected with circuit breakers or fuses. In case of a short or an overload in the branch
circuit, the protective device (fuse, circuit breaker) needs a certain amount of over-current to trip or to blow. The
peak current capability ensures the safe operation of subsequent circuit breakers.

Assuming the input voltage is turned on before such an event, the built-in large sized output capacitors inside the
power supply can deliver extra current. Discharging this capacitor causes a voltage dip on the output. The following
examples show typical voltage dips:

26.2. Back-feeding Loads

Loads such as decelerating motors and inductors can feed voltag e back to the power supply. This feature is also called
return voltage immunity or resistance against Back-EMF (Electro Magnetic Force).

This power supply is resistant and does not show malfunction when a load feeds back voltage to the power
supply. It does not matter, whether the power supply is on or o.

The maximum allowed feed back voltage is 35Vdc. The absorbing energy can be calculated according to the built-in
large sized output capacitor which is specied in section 10.

All parameters are specified at 24V, 2.1A, 230Vac input, 25ªC ambient and after a 5 minutes run-in time unless noted otherwise.

Rockwell Automation Publication 1606-RM034A-EN-P — March 2014 17

Bulletin 1606 Switched Mode Power Supplies

26.3. Series Operation

The power supply can be put in series to increase the output voltage.

-

a) It is possible to connect as many units in series as needed,

providing the sum of the output voltage does not exceed
150Vdc.

b) Voltages with a potential above 60Vdc are no longer SELV

and can be dangerous. Such voltages must be installed

with a protection against touching.
c) For serial operation use power supplies of the same type.
d) Earthing of the output is required when the sum of the

output voltage is above 60Vdc.

Note:

Avoid return voltage (e.g. from a decelerating motor or

battery) which is applied to the output terminals.

26.4. Parallel Use to Increase Output Power

Several power supplies can be paralleled to increase the output power. The 1606-XLP50E does not include a feature
to balance the load current between the power supplies. Usually the power supply with the higher adjusted output
voltage draws current until it goes into current limitation. This causes no harm to the power supply as long as the
ambient temperature stays below 50°C.

-

a) Use only power supplies from the same series.
b) Adjust the output voltages of all power supplies to

approximately the same value (±200mV).
c) A fuse (or diode) on the output is only required if more than

three units are connected in parallel.
d) Do not load terminals with more than 13A. Follow wiring

instructions according to section 27.6.
e) Ensure that the ambient temperature of the power supply

does not exceed 50°C.

26.5. Parallel Use for Redundancy

Power supplies can be paralleled for redundancy to gain a higher system reliability. Redundant systems require a
certain amount of extra power to support the load in case one power unit fails. The simplest way is to put to
power supplies in parallel. This is called a 1+1 redundancy. Should one power supply fail, the second
is automatically able to support the load current without any interruption. Redundant systems for a higher power
demand are usually built in a N+1 method. E.g. Five power supplies, each rated for 2.1A are paralleled to build a 8A
redundant system. If one unit fails, the 8A can still be drawn.

18 Rockwell Automation Publication 1606-RM034A-EN-P — March 2014

All parameters are specified at 24V, 2.1A, 230Vac input, 25ªC ambient and after a 5 minutes run-in time unless noted otherwise.

Bulletin 1606 Switched Mode Power Supplies

Please note: This simple way to build a redundant system has two major disadvantages.

- The faulty power supply cannot be identied. The green LED will still be on since it is reverse-powered from
the other power supply.

- It does not cover failures such as an internal short circuit in the secondary side of the power supply. In such a
situation the defective unit becomes a load for the other power supplies and the output voltage can no
longer be maintained.

The above conditions can be avoided by using decoupling diodes which are included in the 1606-XLPRED
decoupling module.

Other recommendations for building redundant power systems:
a) Use separate input fuses for each power supply.
b) Monitor the individual power s upply units. A DC-ok output is included in the 1606-XLP50E and 1606-XLP50EZ

In all other cases, use the the 1606-XLERED redundancy module which includes a monitoring circuit for
each input.

c) When possible, connect each power supply to dierent phases of the mains network.

26.6. Daisy Chaining of Outputs

Daisy chaining (jumping from one power supply output to the next) is allowed as long as the maximum current
through one terminal pin does not exceed 13A. If the current is higher, use a separate distribution terminal block.

26.7. Charging Batteries

The power supply can be used for oat-charging of lead-acid or maintenance-free 24V VRLA batteries.

Instructions for charging batteries:

a) Ensure that the ambient temperature of the power supply does not exceed 50°C.
b) Set the output voltage on a disconnected load, very precisely to the end-of-charge voltage according to the

expected battery temperature.
End-of-charge voltage 27.8V 27.5V 27.15V 26.8V
Battery temperature 10°C 20°C 30°C 40°C

c) Use a 4A or 6A circuit breaker (or blocking diode ) between the power supply and the battery.
d) Ensure that the output current of the power supply is below the allowed charging current of the battery.
e) Use only matched batteries when putting 12V types in series.
f) The return current to the power supply is typ. 10.7mA at 25Vdc

when the power supply is switched o (except if

using a blocking diode).

All parameters are specified at 24V, 2.1A, 230Vac input, 25ªC ambient and after a 5 minutes run-in time unless noted otherwise.

26.8. External Input Protection

he unit is tested and approved for branch circuits up to 15A (UL) or 16A (IEC). External protection is required only if
the supplying branch has an ampacity greater than this. In some countries, local regulations may apply, so check local
codes and requirements.

If using an external protective device, a minimum value is required to avoid undesired tripping of the fuse.

26.11. Use in a Tigthly Sealed Enclosure

When the power supply is installed in a tightly sealed enclosure, the temperature inside the enclosure will be higher
than the outside. The inside temperature denes the ambient temperature for the power supply.

Results from such an installation:
Power supply is placed in the middle of the box; no other heat producing equipment is inside the box.
Enclosure: Rittal Type IP66 Box PK 9510 100, plastic, 130x130x75mm

Input: 230Vac

Load: 24V, 2.1A; load is placed outside the box.
Temperature inside the box: 40.8°C (in the middle of the right side of the power supply with a distannce of 1cm)
Temperature outside the box: 21.9°C
Temperature rise: 18.9K

Load: 24V, 1.7A; load is placed outside the box.
Temperature inside the box: 38.7°C (in the middle of the right side of the power supply with a distance of 1cm)

26.12. Mounting Orientations

Mounting orientations other than input terminals on the bottom and output on the top require a reduction in
continuous output power or a limitation in the maximum allowed ambient temperature. The amount of reduction
inuences the lifetime expectancy of the power supply. Therefore, two different derating curves for continuous
operation can be found below:

Curve A1 Recommended output current.
Curve A2 Max allowed output current (results in approximately half the lifetime expectancy of A1).
