2.6.4.1 Power Supply
As soon as the power supply of the Processor Module (CPU) is higher than the minimum
Process and supply voltage (see
Ä
Chapter 2.6.1.1 “Environmental Conditions” on page 1248),
the power supply detection is activated and the Processor Module is started. Power supply of
Processor Module and I/O modules should be powered on the same time, otherwise the Pro-
cessor Module will not switch to run after startup.
When during operation the power supply is going down lower than the minimum Process and
supply voltage (see
Ä
Chapter 2.6.1.1 “Environmental Conditions” on page 1248) for more than
10 ms, the Processor Module is switched to safety mode (display shows “AC500”). A restart of
the Processor Module only occurs by switching the power supply off and on again.
If an I/O module is disconnected during normal operation from power supply while Processor
Module is still powered, the Processor Module will continue its normal operation on all other
powered peripherals (I/O modules, communication modules and communication interfaces), but
freezes the input image. After recovery of I/O Module power supply it will continue normal oper-
ation and inputs and outputs were updated.
Logic Controller Supply: AC500 logic controller power supply is provided through terminals L+ /
M.
Process Power Supply: S500 process power supply is provided through terminals UP / ZP.
Logic Controller Supply is galvanic isolated from Process Power Supply.
As system power supply for AC500/S500, the ABB CP power supply series can be used.
2.6.4.1.1 Power Supply for Processor Modules
The supply voltage of 24 VDC is connected to a removable 5-pin terminal block. L+/M exist
twice. It is therefore possible to feed e.g. external sensors (up to 8 A max. with 1.5 mm
2
con-
ductor) via these terminals.
