Overview
Introduction Allen-Bradley industrial control panels consist of a metal or polycarbonate
enclosure that house a wide variety of factory-wired industrial control
equipment such as motor controllers, switches, relays, auxiliary devices and
programmable logic controllers. The panels may also include a disconnecting
means and motor branch circuit protective devices.
These enclosures can be wall-mounted or free-standing (pole mounted) to
meet varying application requirements. These industrial control panels have
been designed to meet the requirements of IP 66/UL Type 4X/NEMA Type
4X (outdoor) when applying proper installation techniques suitable for the
environment.
Panel dimensions vary based on the application and equipment being used.
Panels can range in size from very small 20.32 x 15.24 x 8.89 cm
(8 x 6 x 3.5 in.) operator boxes to large 228.6 x 50.8 x 50.8 cm
(90 x 20 x 20 in.) enclosures. Panels are cULus Listed to UL 508A for
Industrial Control panels or UL 1604 for Hazardous Locations.
Power can be distributed to the panel via incoming cables provided by the site
electrical system. Cables leave the control panel to power motors and other
devices and also to send analog and digital control signals.
