The Allen-Bradley 1756-PA72 is a ControlLogix AC power supply module manufactured by Rockwell Automation for supplying regulated backplane power to 1756 ControlLogix chassis systems. The module accepts an input voltage range of 85…265V AC at 47…63 Hz and delivers multiple regulated DC outputs including 5.1V DC @ 10A, 3.3V DC @ 4A, 1.2V DC @ 1.5A, and 24V DC @ 2.8A for ControlLogix controllers, communication modules, and I/O modules.
The power supply is designed for high-reliability industrial automation systems and installs directly on the left side of compatible 1756 chassis assemblies. It provides a maximum output power of 75 W at 0…60 °C operation and includes reinforced isolation protection rated at 250V continuous. The module supports large-scale ControlLogix architectures used in manufacturing, process automation, and distributed industrial control systems requiring stable backplane power distribution and long-term operational reliability.
