AutomationDirect: BLOCK PM Series Mini Power Supplies and Redundancy Module

August 21, 2024

AutomationDirect has added the BLOCK PM series mini power supplies which feature a compact form factor, excellent transient voltage protection, and an affordable price.

They are robust and adaptable for a range of applications, offering performance and reliability without the higher cost of full-featured power supplies.

The new BLOCK PM-0624-100-0 redundancy module prevents costly downtime by monitoring two matched BLOCK power supplies and switching to a backup when a failure occurs. The module also decouples the power supply outputs to prevent one supply from overloading the other.

BLOCK PM series power supplies offer 24 to 96W models with 12 or 24 VDC adjustable outputs and start at $49.50; the BLOCK PM redundancy module accepts power supply inputs up to 144W and is priced at $98.00.
