3-16 Basic Installation MN1919
3.4.8 24V control circuit supply
A 24VDC supply must be provided to power the controlling electronics. This is useful for safety
reasons where AC power needs to be removed from the power stage but the controlling
electronics must remain powered to retain position and I/O information.
A separate fused 24V supply should be provided for the MicroFlex. If other devices are likely
to be powered from the same 24V supply, a filter (Baldor catalog number FI0014A00) should
be installed to isolate the MicroFlex from the rest of the system. Alternatively, a ferrite sleeve
may be attached to the supply cable near connector X2.
