2080-LC30-48QWB | Allen Bradley | Micro830 Programmable Logic Controller

Product Overview

The Allen Bradley 2080-LC30-48QWB functions as the cornerstone of the Micro830 family, designed specifically for standalone machine control applications. This high-capacity controller integrates 48 embedded I/O points, offering an ideal balance of performance and flexibility for small to mid-sized industrial systems. It supports up to five plug-in modules, allowing engineers to customize the controller’s hardware profile without increasing its physical footprint. We supply this unit as 100% Brand New and Factory Original, ensuring your automation project utilizes the latest hardware revisions for maximum service life.

Technical Specifications

The 2080-LC30-48QWB leverages a robust hardware architecture to manage diverse discrete signals and high-speed counting tasks:

Engineering Advantages

• Customizable Small-Footprint Design: The five integrated plug-in slots permit the addition of analog I/O, specialized communication, or extra digital points directly onto the controller face. This capability eliminates the need for external expansion racks, saving critical DIN rail space in compact control cabinets.

• Versatile Relay Output Control: The 20 relay outputs handle diverse voltage ranges and load types, including solenoids and small motor starters. This built-in hardware removes the requirement for interposing relays in many standard applications, reducing wiring complexity and material costs.

• Advanced Motion and Counting: Six High-Speed Counters (HSC) monitor fast pulse inputs from encoders and proximity sensors. This enables the controller to execute precise positioning and frequency measurement tasks necessary for high-speed conveyor and packaging logic.

• Flexible Serial Communication: The non-isolated RS-232/485 serial port supports Modbus RTU and ASCII protocols. This interface facilitates direct connection to HMI terminals, barcode scanners, and variable frequency drives (VFDs) without necessitating expensive network adapters.

• Simplified Programming Environment: The controller utilizes Connected Components Workbench (CCW) software. This unified environment accelerates development by providing standard PLC editors (Ladder Diagram, Function Block, Structured Text) alongside graphical configuration tools.

FAQs

• Is this 2080-LC30-48QWB unit 100% Brand New?

  Yes. We guarantee this controller arrives in 100% Brand New condition, contained in its original factory packaging with all sealings intact. We do not sell refurbished or used stock, ensuring you receive the full industrial reliability of new hardware.

• What software do I need to program the Micro830?

  You must use Connected Components Workbench (CCW) software. This Rockwell Automation software supports the entire Micro800 family and allows for seamless configuration of the embedded I/O and any added plug-in modules.

• Can I expand this controller beyond the 48 embedded I/O points?

  Yes. By utilizing the 5 plug-in slots and adding expansion I/O modules, you can increase the total digital I/O count to a maximum of 88 points, providing significant headroom for future machine upgrades.

• How does the Micro830 handle power-loss events?

  The 2080-LC30-48QWB features non-volatile memory to protect your application code and data. It does not require a battery for program retention, which simplifies long-term maintenance cycles and improves overall system uptime.
