OPDC
 is the total output +24V DC power current through the female power 
connector of the module (output +24V DC power current for the modules 
that follow in the daisy chain).
I
OPM
 can be approximated by dividing the number of watts for each type of 
1732ES module by +24V DC as listed here:
• 1732ES-IB12XOBV2 - 1.56W
• 1732ES-IB12XOB4 - 1.08W
• 1732ES-IB8XOB8 - 1.56W
• 1732ES-IB8XOBV4 - 2.64 W
The table output +24V DC power calculation shows an example output 
+24V DC power current calculation for a system of four modules. The output 
+24V DC power voltage is 24V DC in this example. Module 1 is the first 
module in the daisy chain. Modules 1 and 3 are 1732ES-IB12XOBV2 modules 
and have bipolar safety outputs. Modules 2 and 4 are 1732ES-IB12XOB4 
modules and have sourcing safety outputs. Fill out the table by starting with the 
last module in the daisy chain, in this example Module 4. Once I
OP
 is 
calculated for module 4, it transfers as the I
OPDC
 value for Module 3. This 
process continues for all modules in the daisy chain.
As can be seen in the cell with value set in bold, the maximum output 
+24V DC power current through the male power connectors in the daisy 
chain is 9.02 A. This value is less than 10 A, so this system is adequate. The I
OP
 
value for a module in this system or any daisy chained system cannot exceed 
10 A. If the value exceeds 10 A, the system fails to meet the maximum current 
requirement for the module. The maximum current requirement is the 
maximum current that any pin on the power connectors can carry, which is 
10 A.
