Hardware Description
3.6.4. Power Requirements
The internal power converter of the eWON Flexy Base units has been dimensioned to cover
a broad range of different combinations of Extension Cards. Users should make sure the
total power demand of the Extension Cards does not exceed the capabilities of the Base
Unit. That is why the notion of “Energy Points” has been introduced.
The Installation Guide IG-014-0-EN “eWON Flexy - Base Units” includes a section giving the
Available Energy Points of each type of Base Unit.
The power requirements of each Extension Card is expressed in Energy Demand Points. This
number is meant to check whether the balance with the Available Energy Points of a given Base
Unit with Extension Cards is OK or not.
