4.3 Connecting an Extension Base Unit
4.3.4 Voltage drop when an extension base unit is used
(b) How to calculate voltage to "IN" connector
The 5VDC output voltage of the power supply module on the main base unit is set to at least 4.90VDC.
Therefore, the Q5B or QA1S5B can be used if the voltage drop at the extension cable is 0.15VDC or lower
(4.9VDC - 4.75VDC = 0.15VDC).
.
*1 Sum total of currents consumed by Q5B, QA1S5B and currents consumed by the I/O modules, intelligent function
modules mounted on the Q5B, QA1S5B. The symbols including "I" (I1 to I7) vary with the modules mounted on the
Q5B, QA1S5B. For details of the symbol, refer to the user's manuals for the modules used.
