Current for Devices Connected to the +24V dc
Sensor Supply:
Sum of all current sensors
400 mA at 24V dc 150 mA at 24V dc (example sensor value)
Current for MicroLogix Accessories and
Expansion I/O:
Current (Subtotal 1 from Table F.9 + Subtotal 2 from Table F.10):
600 mA at 5V dc 500 mA at 24V dc 0 mA + 395 mA = 395 mA at 5V dc 120 mA + 245 mA = 365 mA at 24V dc
System Loading: System Loading:
16 Watts
= (150 mA x 24V) + (395 mA x 5V) + (365 mA x 24V)
= (3600 mW) + (1975 mW) + (8760 mW)
= 14335 W
= 14.34 Watts
