The Allen-Bradley 2080-LC50-48QVB is a PLC from the Micro800 series. Micro800 is a Programmable Logic Controller series with brick style from an economical segment, which is designed to support standalone machines targeted for lower cost. The AB 2080-LC50-48QVB is a leading representative of this series with the most sophisticated features striving to provide a functional maximum for smaller investment amounts. Its excellence in the segment is reflected in more digital and analog I/O with higher analog I/O performance. These controllers can support up to four expansion I/Os (132 I/O points maximum) and can embrace communication connections through its embedded Ethernet port. Both a PWM and a Pulse Train Output (PTO) are embedded on the device, which is enriched with 6 High-Speed Counters (HSC). Removable terminal blocks increase the flexibility of this device.

The 2080-LC50-48QVB include the following options: highspeed input interrupts, Modbus RTU protocol (over the serial port), Modbus/TCP support, CIP Serial support, embedded USB programming, and serial ports (RS232/485). An outstanding number of inputs and outputs is available, with 28 total inputs at 24 Volts AC/DC and 20 relay outputs (1A per point). The device housing has many status lamps for visual control of the PLC work state. There are input, output, module, power, fault, serial COM, network, run and force status signals. The base unit is equipped with an embedded 24 Volt DC power supply (an external 120 to 240 Volt AC supply is optional).

Up to 256 programs can be executed in a project. The controller moreover has a project memory, which stores a copy of the all-inclusive downloaded project (with comments too), as well as configuration memory for setup information. Password protection is an available option to secure a downloaded project.

The following two 2080-LC50-48QVB USB drivers must be installed: a USB Converter driver and a USB Serial Port driver.

This device has dimensions of 90 x 238 x 80 millimeters (3.54 x 9.37 x 3.15 inches), and weight 0.725 kilograms (1.60 pounds). Wiring is completed with copper wire in sizes of 0.2 millimeters2 to 2.5 millimeters2. The input circuit type is 24 Volts DC sink/source standard and high-speed while the output circuit type is 24 Volts DC sink standard and high-speed, on a power supply of 24 Volts DC, a power consumption of 33 Watts, and an IP20 enclosure.
