Allen-Bradley 102980A Current Monitoring Module

The Candid Logic 102980A Current Monitor is an industrial electronic monitoring module that provides current sensing and monitoring for motors, power circuits, and automation equipment. Designed for control panels and industrial machinery, it measures AC and/or DC current (application dependent) to detect overloads, underloads, and abnormal operating conditions, enabling protective actions and predictive maintenance. It offers panel or chassis mounting, with connection options including screw terminals or plug-in connectors, and can deliver either a relay contact or an analog signal output depending on configuration. Response times fall in the millisecond range (application dependent), supporting fast detection of current changes, while its construction is a printed circuit board assembly suitable for indoor industrial environments. The 102980A is intended for industrial control systems requiring continuous monitoring of current in applications such as motor protection circuits, conveyors, pumps, compressors, and process equipment, and it supports a range of operating voltages based on the specific installation. Typical industries include manufacturing, material handling, process control, and industrial automation, where monitoring current draw provides protection and insight for equipment health.
