IPB-5000B-MU Addendum
This addendum is designed to be a supplement to the IPB-5000B Operator Manual and it addresses the
difference between the standard Amada Weld Tech IPB-5000B Inverter Power Supply and the Amada
Weld Tech IPB-5000B-MU Inverter Power Supply. The Amada Weld Tech IPB-5000B Power Supplies
with the –MU suffix (i.e. IPB-5000B-MU) include an I/O Connector Panel.
The standard IPB-5000B includes cable glands for all I/O connections. The cable glands essentially
“hard-wire” the power supply into position, making it harder to relocate or change equipment. The
added –MU Accessory Box includes panel mounted connectors, which allows for quick
connect/disconnect of external equipment and easy relocation of equipment.
The physical difference between the IPB-5000B and IPB-5000B-MU rear panel is shown below:
In the standard IPB-5000B, the end user must terminate all I/O connections to the terminal block
underneath the I/O cover. These terminated cables are then routed through and secured by the cable
glands (see above). Refer to Chapters 5 and 8 in this manual for information on the Installation and
External I/O connections respectively for information on interfacing with the IPB-5000B Inverter Power
Supply.
Connection to the IPB-5000B-MU is the same as a standard IPB-5000B, except that some of the
connection points will terminate on the panel mount connectors. All panel mount connectors terminate
on the terminal block underneath the I/O cover. Below is a simple schematic of the –MU - I/O Accessory
Box, list of mating connectors, and a pin-out detail for each panel connector. Refer to Chapter 8 in this
manual for information on the function and operation of the external I/O connections.
