MP-Bus cabling

WARNING

Risk of injury through electric shock and damage to the device!

Bring the Bus Terminals system into a safe, de-energized state before starting mounting, disassembly or wiring of the Bus Terminals!

Maximum MP-bus length

The maximum cable length is obtained by considering the following points:

Operation of MP-bus slaves (actuators) with DC power supply

MP-Bus cabling 1:
Operation of MP-bus slaves (actuators) with DC power supply

Operation of MP-bus slaves (actuators) with AC power supply

(from firmware version B3)

MP-Bus cabling 2:
Operation of MP-bus slaves (actuators) with AC power supply

The upper power supply unit supplies the actuators with AC voltage.

The lower power supply unit supplies the MP-bus master terminal (via the power contacts of the BK, BC, BX or CX).

MP-Bus length in relation to the effective power of all drives

MP-Bus length in relation to the effective power of all drives

Example with 4 drives

Wtotal = 1.3 W + 2.5 W + 6.0 W + 3.0 W = 12.8 W
