Power Supply Wiring Section 4-4
Network Power
Supply
The communications power and the I/O power are supplied together. That is
there is no need to supply power to Units separately. The power is supplied
commonly through the communications power supply connector on the Mas-
ter Unit or through the downstream port of communications power supply con-
nector on the Repeater Unit. Bit Slave Units have Flat Cables attached.
4-4-1 Connecting the Communications Power Supply
The communications power supply must meet the following specifications.
Commercially available power supply units can be used. An OMRON S82-
series Power Supply Unit is recommended to supply communications power
to a CompoNet network.
Note With the Slave Units with a network power supply, the external I/O devices are
also supplied power through the communications power supply connected to
the Master Unit or a Repeater Unit via Flat Cables. Therefore, the output cur-
rent of communications power supply must include the current consumption
and the actual load current of the external I/O devices the calculation.
The following is a calculation example of the current consumption for a Bit
Slave Unit's communications power supply.

When complying with UL standards,
install a device to limit the current
between the external power supply
and the Unit to 4 A or less for the
communications power supply.
