1.2.1.1 Redundant Power Supplies
The VC-8000 rack requires +24 Vdc external
power to operate. Redundant power inputs
are provided.
Plant +24 Vdc power can also be used.
+24Vdc COM is not isolated from the
Signal COM (in the UMM).
When using plant power (+24 Vdc), a
24V to 24V isolator is necessary.
Refer to the datasheets for information on
external power supply hardware, input
voltage tolerance, and current requirements.
