PLCs, Power Supplies & Others

The Schneider PMB 001 delivers regulated DC power to industrial automation equipment. This module belongs to the Schneider power management product family. You will find this controller in control cabinets and machine panels worldwide. It provides reliable power for PLCs, sensors, and actuators.

Manufacturer: Schneider Electric
Series: Power Module Series
Category: Power Module Controller (240W)

Physical Dimensions and Weight

The Schneider PMB 001 measures 5.5 inches in height. Its width reaches 3.2 inches for standard rail mounting. The depth goes to 5.0 inches including terminals. This compact design fits into any industrial control cabinet. The total weight comes to approximately 1.2 kilograms.

Technical Specifications and Output Capacity

This power module accepts wide-range AC input from 85V to 264V. It operates on 50Hz or 60Hz without any adjustment. The unit produces a regulated 24V DC output at 10 amps. The total output power reaches 240 watts continuously. Furthermore, the efficiency stays above 88% across most load ranges.

Energy Storage and Hold-Up Time

The Schneider PMB 001 includes large electrolytic capacitors for energy storage. These capacitors hold 12,000 microfarads at 400V DC rating. This storage provides 25 milliseconds of hold-up time during line dips. Therefore, short power interruptions do not reset your connected equipment. The capacitors recharge automatically when input power returns.

Interface and Connectivity

This power module uses screw-type terminal blocks for all connections. The input side accepts 14-18 AWG wire easily. The output side provides two separate 24V DC terminals. Two LED indicators show DC OK and overload status. A green light means normal operation for both conditions. You can wire multiple loads without additional distribution blocks.

Protection Features and Reliability

The Schneider PMB 001 includes comprehensive protection circuits for safety. Overcurrent protection limits output to 12A during overload conditions. Overvoltage protection clamps the output at 28V DC maximum. Short circuit protection shuts down the unit until you clear the fault. Thermal shutdown activates when internal temperature exceeds 85°C. These features guarantee long service life in harsh environments.

Component Layout and Construction

The Schneider PMB 001 contains 95 discrete components on a two-layer PCB. Key parts include a main transformer, ten diodes, and eighteen capacitors. A built-in cooling fan operates only when needed. The fan activates at 60% load or 70°C internal temperature. This design reduces noise and extends fan life significantly.

Integration and Compatibility

Use the Schneider PMB 001 with any 24V DC automation equipment. It works alongside Schneider PLCs and Altivar drives. This power module supports all standard Schneider accessories.
