Power supply

Notice

Damage to the Embedded PCs

The Embedded PCs may be damaged during wiring.

  • The cables for the power supply should only be connected in de-energized state.

The power supply terminals require an external voltage source, which provides 24 V DC (-15% / +20%). The power supply terminal must provide 4 A at 24 V, in order to ensure the operation of the Embedded PCs in all situations.

The cabling of the Embedded PC in the control cabinet must be done in accordance with the standard EN 60204-1:2006 PELV = Protective Extra Low Voltage:

Connections

Power supply 1:
Connections for system voltage (Us) and power contacts (Up)

No.

Description

1

The upper spring-loaded terminals (Us) identified with "24 V" and "0 V" supply the Embedded PC and the terminal bus (data transfer via K-bus or E-bus).

2

The spring-loaded terminals (Up) identified as "+", "-" and "PE" supply the Bus Terminals via the power contacts and the sensors or actuators connected to the Bus Terminals.

Fuse

Interrupting / switching off the power supply

To switch off the Embedded PC, do not disconnect the ground (0 V), because otherwise current may continue to flow via the shielding, depending on the device, and damage the Embedded PC or peripheral devices.

Always disconnect the 24 V line. Devices connected to the Embedded PC, which have their own power supply (e.g. a Panel) must have the same potential for "PE" and "0 V" as the Embedded PC have (no potential difference).
