System role and rails
Rebuilt from individual evidence
Unknown: verification boundary
Rockwell Automation identifies 1756-PB72 as a ControlLogix 24V DC power supply. Its product page documents 19-32 VDC input and chassis output rails.
The supply converts incoming DC power into rails used by the ControlLogix controller and modules, including 5V at 10A, 3.3V at 4A and 1.2V at 1.5A.
Unknown: cabinet loading, redundancy requirements, wiring condition and condition of an individual 1756-PB72 unit.
