The 2080-LC30-16QWB is a compact controller that is part of the Micro 830 controller series of Allen-Bradley. It specifically belongs to the larger group of Micro 800 product family, designed to implement automation of micro and small machines or industrial processes. This controller comes in a compact form and supports Din rail and panel mounting. The 2080-LC30-16QWB mainly features Ten (10) 24 VDC / VAC discrete inputs and Six (6) Normally Open (N.O.) relay outputs. Two (2) plug-in modules may be added to this controller to further enhance the controller capability. A multitude of plug-in modules is supported by this controller particularly Discrete I/O modules, Analog I/O modules, specialty and communication modules. This controller is wired to an external 120 VAC / 240 VAC power supply to operate the controller. It is also provided with an RS232 communication interface that can be configured for a variety of communication protocols such as Modbus RTU Master / Slave, ASCII, and Allen-Bradley Common Industrial Protocol (CIP). It also has a USB 2.0 programming port which may also be used as a programming port. Applicable programming language includes ladder Diagram (LD), Function Block Diagram (FBD), and Structured Text. Up to 4K steps or instructions can be downloaded to this controller. This controller has 8K bytes of memory and is capable of implementing floating-point math, PID loop control, and motion control. This controller carries certification from c-UL-us CL1DIV2, CE, C-Tick, KC and is operable at a temperature range of -20 to 65 Degree Celsius.

The 2080-LC30-16QWB is a 16-point form-factor base unit Controller, belonging to the Micro830 Programmable Logic Controllers family. It has 16 points of Digital I/O (10 to 24 Volt DC Sink/Source Inputs and 6 Relay Outputs) built into the module, and the whole module can be extended, without increasing the controller’s overall footprint, by adding supplementary Analog and Digital I/Os through 2 plug-in module slots. The Base Unit 2080-LC30-16QWB is powered by a 24 Volt DC power supply. Using any standard printer cable, this module’s USB 2. The 2080-LC30-16QWB is suitable for small applications and OEM machine builders, as it provides a flexible control solution at a competitively low price. The 2080-LC30-16QWB base unit has an Embedded RS-232/485, non-isolated, Serial Port; and supports the Modbus Communication Protocol with multiple flavors and configurations like RTU Master/Slave, ASCII, and CIP for maximum integration with the machine mounted HMIs, remote SCADA, or even controller to controller communication. The 2080-LC30-16QWB can operate in a wide ambient temperatures range of -20 to 65 degrees Celsius, making it suitable for most situations. Its enclosure is rated as IP20.
