CJ2 CPU Unit Hardware User’s Manual
The amount of current/power that can be supplied to the Units mounted in a Rack is limited by the
capacity of the Rack’s Power Supply Unit. Refer to the following tables when designing your system so
that the total current consumption of the mounted Units does not exceed the maximum current for each
voltage group and the total power consumption does not exceed the maximum for the Power Supply
Unit.
For details on calculating the current consumption of Units, refer to 2-1-2 CPU Rack, 2-1-3 Expansion
Racks, and 2-1-4 Configuration Units.
The following table shows the maximum currents and power that can be supplied by Power Supply
Units in CPU Racks and Expansion Racks.
Note 1 When calculating current/power consumption in a CPU Rack, be sure to include the power required by the
CPU Unit itself, as well as the I/O Control Unit if one or more Expansion Racks is connected.
2 Be sure to include the power required by the I/O Interface Unit when calculating current/power consump-
tion in an Expansion Rack.
Example 1: In this example, the following Units are mounted to a CPU Rack with a CJ1WPA205R
Power Supply Unit.
