Product Introduction
The Allen Bradley 1756-PB72 ControlLogix Power Supply is a high-capacity DC input module designed to deliver regulated backplane power for ControlLogix automation systems. It accepts 18–32 V DC input and converts it into stable internal DC power required by processors, communication modules, and I/O modules installed within the chassis.
This model is commonly used in industrial environments where 24 VDC power distribution is standardized across the control cabinet. With a 75-watt output rating and 2.8 amp current capability, the 1756-PB72 supports medium to high-density rack configurations while maintaining stable system performance.
Installed on the left side of the ControlLogix chassis, the module operates without configuration and forms the backbone of reliable internal power distribution in DC-based automation architectures.
