AS-S908-120RP
Its primary role is to manage power distribution to critical components like PLCs, I/O modules, and communication adapters, while providing real-time status monitoring to alert operators of potential issues. For engineers and plant managers, the AS-S908-120RPoffers significant value through its redundant design and hot-swappable components, eliminating single points of failure in power systems. Whether deployed in standalone control cabinets or large-scale distributed networks, this module integrates seamlessly with existing infrastructure, enhancing system resilience while simplifying power management.
AS-S908-120RP
Main features and advantages:
TheAS-S908-120RP stands out in industrial power distribution with features engineered for reliability and safety. Functionally, it delivers redundant power paths with automatic failover, ensuring connected devices continue operating even if one power source or distribution channel fails—critical in applications like nuclear power plant control systems where downtime is unacceptable. Its built-in overload protection trips within milliseconds of detecting excessive current, preventing damage to sensitive electronics while minimizing disruption to non-affected circuits.
Hardware design prioritizes durability and serviceability. The rugged metal enclosure withstands operating temperatures from -5°C to 60°C, making it suitable for installation in both climate-controlled electrical rooms and unconditioned industrial spaces. A key advantage is its hot-swappable fuse modules, which allow replacement of blown fuses without powering down the entire system—a feature that reduces maintenance-related downtime in continuous-process facilities.
Compatibility is a strong suit, with seamless integration with Modicon Quantum PLC systems and other Schneider automation components like the AS-P890-000R building automation server and AS-S908-120RP digital input modules. This versatility allows the AS-S908-120RP to serve as a universal power distribution solution across multiple industrial platforms, simplifying inventory management for plant operators.

Installation and maintenance:
Before installing the AS-S908-120RP verify that input power sources are properly rated and protected by appropriately sized circuit breakers (15A recommended). Ensure the mounting location provides adequate clearance—minimum 100mm above and below for heat dissipation, especially when operating at currents exceeding 20A total. For redundant configurations, connect each input to separate phase legs or independent power sources to maximize fault tolerance. Check that output wiring uses conductors rated for at least 10A (minimum 14 AWG) and that all ground connections are properly bonded to the facility’s earthing system.
For maintenance, inspect fuse status indicators monthly to identify blown fuses before they affect critical operations. Test redundant failover functionality quarterly by disconnecting one input power source and verifying all outputs remain operational. Clean dust from ventilation grilles semi-annually using compressed air, particularly in dusty environments like cement plants. When replacing fuses in the AS-S908-120RP, use only Schneider-approved components with the specified current rating to maintain safety certifications and protection characteristics.
