The Allen-Bradley 2080-LC30-10QWB is part of the modern Micro 830 Programmable Automation Controllers (PAC). This controller is a compact style controller that comes installed with complete set of components enabling it function as a controller out of the box. It comes with an embedded 24 VDC rated power supply and a variety of communication interfaces such as One (1) RS232/485 non-isolated port that can be configured tin compatibility with CIP Serial, Modbus RTU, ASCII protocols. It also has a local programming port via the USB 2.0 port where any standard or over the counter USB or printer cable is compatible.

The 2080-LC30-10QWB has embedded I/O channels that is composed of Six (6) 24 VDC sink / source inputs and Four (4) Normally Open (N.O.) relay outputs. Two (2) of the Six (6) input channels are high-speed input channels that can recognize input switching at a maximum frequency of 100 kHz. Should the embedded I/O channels are insufficient, additional modules can be installed to this controller. Up to 4K steps of program instructions can be downloaded to this controller and store up to 8 Kbytes of data. It supports IEC 61131-3 programming languages standard such as Ladder Diagram (LD), Function Block Diagram (FBD) and Structured Text (ST). User-defined blocks and motion instructions is also supported by this controller as well as implement 32-bit and 64-bit Floating point Math instructions. It also has an embedded Proportional + Integral + Derivative (PID) controller for automatic control of the loop.

The Allen-Bradley 2080-LC30-10QWB is one of the economical brick-style programmable controllers that comes impeded with inputs and outputs. The controller is designed to accommodate a USB adapter and an LCD module, as well as any 24 Volt DC output power supply that meets the minimum specifications. The 2080-LC30-10QWB controller is designed to be used in the standalone machine control applications that require a simple motion through the PTO Flexible communication and I/O capabilities with five plug-ins or less.

The 2080-LC30-10QWB comes with different types of controllers that share the similar form factor and accessories, which are based on the number of I/O points that are inserted in the base. The 2080-LC30-10QWB comprises in-built support for up to 3 axes of motion and up to three Pulse Train Outputs (PTO), up to six high-speed Counter inputs (HSC). It has a speed of 100 KHz, and HSC is accessible on 24 Volt models. Additionally, it has a single axis rotation that is supported by the PLCopen Motion guidelines. The controller uses a USB programming and has a non-isolated serial port (RS232/485).

Appliances creators and operators who are seeking an economical control solution for their minor application will greatly benefit from an Allen-Bradley 2080-LC30-10QWB programmable controller. The controller allows incorporation of more than five plug-in modules, which allows machine operators to personalize the Allen-Bradley 2080-LC30-10QWB controllers to upsurge its functionality without expanding the footprint of the product. The latest controller family provides removable terminal blocks for most models, and communications are done through the serial port. Additionally, the transistor output models are improved with embedded motion capabilities with almost three axes of motion. This helps the controllers to be used in a wide range of application.

Some of the features and advantages of the 2080-LC30-10QWB are dissimilar controller types that share a similar form factor and accessories, support of up to six high-speed inputs (HSC), high-speed input interrupts Modbus RTU protocol, embedded USB port used for programming and serial port (RS232/485), motion function blocks to support its single axis rotation, and motion instruction such as TouchProbe instruction for registering position of the axis.
