5.3.1 Calculation of the load
The following table lists the power required from the CPU module (called
CPU for short in the following) for the option modules and the add-on mod-
ules. The CPU itself has a consumption of 14 W.
5 V sided / [W] 24 V sided / [W] Comment
CPU module 10 45 Source (this power the CPU
module can provide on the
K-Bus)
Option module 1 0.25 0 Sink
Option module 2 0.25 0 Sink
Option module 3 0.5 0 Sink
Output module 0.4 1 Sink
Analog module 0.3 3.3 Sink
Subtotal 1.7 4.3
Subtotal of the option mod-
ules and the add-on mod-
ules.
The power consumption determined in the subtotal is less than the power
that could be made available by the CPU.
This calculation check is required especially when many add-on modules
are to be operated together with a CPU.
5.3.2 Power supply design
The power supply unit must be designed for:
the power requirement of the CPU, the option modules, the add-on
modules and
the power required for all other connected loads (e.g. outputs that are
supplied by the module).
Power requirement for CPU + modules + assemblies =
14 + 1.7 + 4.3 = 20 W.
