Allen-Bradley 150-A180NBD Motor Controller
Description
SMC PLUS starting control for an industrial motor
The Allen-Bradley 150-A180NBD is an open-type SMC PLUS motor controller rated 180 A. The SMC PLUS design offers soft start with kickstart, current-limit starting and full-voltage starting modes, set with DIP and rotary switches. Match the selected starting method to the motor and the driven load.
Technical specifications
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Manufacturer / range | Allen-Bradley / SMC PLUS |
| Catalog number | 150-A180NBD |
| Execution | Open type |
| Rated current | 180 A |
| Separate control supply | 100–240 V AC, single phase, 50/60 Hz |
| Thermal overload | Separate; not part of the controller |
Control power and motor protection
The controller needs a control supply that is separate from the motor line supply. Check the actual controller label and the existing system design when specifying a replacement. The motor overload relay and short-circuit protection are selected separately as part of the starter design.
Other SMC PLUS catalog numbers differ in line voltage and enclosure. Match the complete catalog number, motor nameplate current and line voltage rather than the 180 A figure alone.
Quotation enquiries
Send Seven Star LLC the 150-A180NBD reference, quantity, motor nameplate, line and control supply voltages, installed options and the overload arrangement and a photograph of the existing label. Lead time and availability are confirmed at quotation.

About brand
Catalog numbers beginning 1756, 1734, 1746 or 5069 are read at a glance by anyone who maintains Allen-Bradley control panels. The brand, the control hardware name of Rockwell Automation, dates back to 1903 in Milwaukee, USA. Seven Star LLC sources and supplies Allen-Bradley PLC and I/O modules, communication adapters and PowerFlex drives for plants in Oman, matching catalog number, series letter and firmware against the manufacturer's documentation.
Allen-Bradley product families listed here
Current controller platforms on this page are ControlLogix, with the 1756-L85E ControlLogix 5580 controller and the 1756-PA72 chassis power supply, and CompactLogix 5380, with the 5069-L320ER and 5069-L340ERM. Distributed I/O is represented by POINT I/O: the 1734-AENTR dual-port EtherNet/IP adapter and the 1734-IB8 digital input module. Allen-Bradley drives listed are the PowerFlex 525 and PowerFlex 755. For installed systems there are SLC 500 parts: the 1746-A10 chassis, 1746-NI16I analog input module, 1747-ASB remote I/O adapter, 1747-KE interface and 1747-M13 memory module. A Trusted TMR digital input module (T8403) is also listed.
Where Allen-Bradley hardware is used
ControlLogix and CompactLogix controllers run packaged equipment and plant utilities: compressor and pump skids, water and wastewater plants, power distribution, material handling and packaging lines. PowerFlex drives control pumps, fans and conveyors. Across the GCC, a large base of SLC 500 racks is still running, and Allen-Bradley spare parts for these systems are a frequent request.
Ordering Allen-Bradley modules and drives: what we need
Send the full catalog number, the series letter and, for controllers and communication modules, the firmware revision printed on the side label. Compatibility with an existing project depends on these. For PowerFlex drives, give the complete catalog string, which encodes voltage, current rating, enclosure and options, plus the motor nameplate data. For SLC 500 parts, tell us the rack size and processor so that we can check slot and power supply loading in the manufacturer's manuals. A label photo avoids most mistakes.
