Power Budget Calculation Worksheet
This blank chart is provided for you to copy and use in your power budget calculations.
1. Use the power budget table to fill in the power requirements for all the system components.
This includes the CPU, any I/O modules, and any other devices, such as the Handheld
Programmer, C-more HMI or the DV–1000 operator interface. Also, make sure you
obtain any external power requirements, such as the 24VDC power required by the analog
modules.
2. Add the current columns starting with CPU slot and put the total in the row labeled “Total
Power Required.”
3. Subtract the row labeled “Total Power Required” from the row labeled “Available Base
Power.” Place the difference in the row labeled “Remaining Power Available.”
4. If “Total Power Required” is greater than the power available from the base, the power
budget will be exceeded. It will be unsafe to use this configuration, and you will need to
restructure your I/O configuration.
WARNING: It is extremely important to calculate the power budget. If you exceed the power budget,
the system may operate in an unpredictable manner which may result in a risk of personal injury or
equipment damage.
