Power supply and potential groups

The board is supplied via two galvanically isolated 24 V power supplies:

SGND (Shield Ground) is a ground signal with shielding function in relation to the rest of the board.

Notice

Damage to devices possible

  • Us, Up and SGND must not be in direct contact with each other!
  • Don`t connect E-bus GND signal (GND) with 0 V Up and 0 V Us!
  • The SGND connection to the mounting plate shall be implemented as metal bolts building a direct connection between the signal distribution board and mounting plate (see Design Guide, chapter SGND Connection).

Example with the EJ1100 EtherCAT coupler

Power supply and potential groups 1:
Power supply of the EtherCAT plug-in modules via the EJ1100 EtherCAT coupler

Example with the EJ1101-0022 EtherCAT coupler and power supply module EJ940x

Power supply and potential groups 2:
Power supply of the EtherCAT plug-in modules via the EJ1101-0022 EtherCAT coupler and power supply module EJ940x

Notice

Note on routing

  • Read the notes on routing in chapter Module placement, Design of power supply and Routing guildelines in the Design-Guide!
  • Observe additional notes in chapter pinout of the documentations for the modules used.
