◉
Chassis Role
The 1746-P4 mounts at the left side of an SLC 500 modular chassis and connects directly to the chassis power connector. It supplies the backplane rather than occupying an I/O slot.
⌁
Load Calculation
The 5 V and 24 V backplane demands of the processor, adapters and every installed module must be totaled. The optional 24 V user load must also be included in the overall supply limit.
△
Lifecycle Context
The product is discontinued, with no planned direct Rockwell Automation replacement. Existing-system purchases require careful identity, condition and chassis-load verification.
Electrical Envelope
PARAMETER
1746-P4 VALUE
ORDERING IMPACT
Input range
85–132 V AC or 170–250 V AC, 47–63 Hz
Confirm the voltage-selector jumper before energizing.
Backplane, 5 V DC
10 A maximum
Total the 5 V current of the processor and every chassis module.
Backplane, 24 V DC
2.88 A maximum
Check modules drawing power from the 24 V backplane rail.
User output
1 A at 24 V DC; 20.4–27.6 V DC
Include external user load in the common 70 W output ceiling.
Total output power
70 W maximum
5 V backplane, 24 V backplane and user output are not independent maxima.
Maximum inrush
45 A
Size upstream protection and switching components appropriately.
Operating temperature
0–60 °C
The P4 does not require the above-55 °C current derating applied to several other 1746 supplies.
Need a verified 1746-P4 for an existing SLC 500 rack?
Send the chassis catalog number, installed module list, input voltage and required condition for a focused quotation.
Add the 5 V DC and 24 V DC current requirements for the processor, communication adapter and each I/O or specialty module installed in the chassis.
Common 70 W ceiling
The rated rail currents cannot all be used at their individual maxima simultaneously. Combined 5 V, 24 V backplane and 24 V user power must remain within 70 W.
Future additions
Reserve practical capacity for approved future modules rather than sizing only for the present rack. Recalculate whenever a module is added or exchanged.
BUDGET EQUATION
(5 V × I5V) + (24 V × I24V) + User Load ≤ 70 W
Rail current limits must also be respected individually. A passing wattage total does not override the 10 A, 2.88 A or 1 A current limits.
03 · SYSTEM RELATIONSHIP
Where 1746-P4 Fits in the SLC 500 Rack
POSITION 01
1746 Chassis
The supply attaches to the chassis power connector at the left side. It is selected per chassis, including remotely connected chassis.
›
POSITION 02
Processor / Adapter
An SLC processor or compatible communication adapter supervises the rack and contributes to its power demand.
›
POSITION 03
1746 Modules
Discrete, analog, communication and specialty modules draw different amounts from the 5 V and 24 V rails.
›
RESULT
Verified Budget
The selected supply must satisfy both rail-current limits and the combined output-power limit with operating margin.

AMIKON GLOBAL SUPPLY
Fast, Reliable Industrial Parts Delivery
Our purpose is to deliver high-quality industrial automation parts quickly and reliably, helping customers reduce downtime and restore operations.
Quality and Reliability
Careful product matching, responsive support and transparent communication help customers plan maintenance and replacement work with confidence.
Customer-Focused Supply
New and discontinued automation parts are procured for diverse industries through a broad international cooperation network.
How should a buyer confirm that 1746-P4 has enough capacity for the existing rack?
Add the 5 V and 24 V backplane current of the processor and every installed module, then include any 24 V user-output load. The result must respect the 10 A and 2.88 A rail limits, the 1 A user limit and the combined 70 W ceiling.
02
Can 1746-P4 be energized from either 120 V AC or 240 V AC without checking anything else?
No. Incoming power must be isolated and the voltage-selection jumper must match the applied range before wiring and energization. The protective ground and supply terminals must also be connected correctly.
03
Is 1746-P4 a direct replacement for any lower-capacity 1746 AC supply?
Not by catalog-family similarity alone. Verify chassis type, input wiring, selector-jumper setting, physical installation, approvals, system load and the external use of the 24 V output before treating the exchange as suitable.
04
What condition details matter most when buying a discontinued 1746-P4?
Request clear catalog and series markings, terminal and jumper condition, housing condition, manufacturing identification and the seller's stated test status. Match the complete identity to the installed unit before shutdown work is scheduled.
05
Does Rockwell Automation name a direct replacement for discontinued 1746-P4?
No planned direct replacement is stated for this product. Migration or redesign decisions must be based on the complete SLC 500 architecture, I/O functions, communications, software and validated machine requirements.
Returns & Replacement
Contact us within seven days if an issue is found after receipt. Provide the order details and a clear reason so the case can be reviewed promptly.
Returned items must remain in their original condition. A return or replacement is processed after the returned unit is received and checked.
Shipping costs generated by the return are the buyer's responsibility.
