I/O power supply voltage at (5) = I/O power supply voltage on I/O power supply terminals − Voltage drop per
Unit × Number of Units passed through
= 24.00 V − 0.06 V × (5 − 1 Units)
= 23.76 V
Design to Separate the I/O Power Supply
If the I/O power supply voltages of the connected external devices are different, connect an Additional
I/O Power Supply Unit at the point where the I/O power supply voltage changes and then perform sim-
ilar calculations to design a system that meets the power supply conditions. The same method is used
to separate the power supply systems. Connect an Additional I/O Power Supply Unit at the point
where the power supply systems to be separated and then perform similar calculations to design the
overall system to meet the power supply conditions.

Designing the I/O Power Supply from External Sources
Unlike supplying power from the NX bus, there is no specific design method for supplying I/O power
from external sources.
Calculate the total current consumption from the I/O power supply for the NX Units to be supplied
power from an external source.
Refer to the user’
s manuals of the NX Units for the total current consumption from the I/O power sup-
ply.

Restrictions on Inrush Current for ON/OFF Operation
This section describes the restrictions on inrush current from the I/O power supply that occurs when
connected external devices turn ON and OFF.
Inrush Current Restrictions
If inrush current to the I/O power supply occurs when a connected external device turns ON or OFF,
do not allow the effective value of the I/O power supply current to exceed the following rated values
when the inrush current is added to the current consumption from the I/O power supply.
•
Maximum I/O power supply current
• Current capacity of power supply terminals for the I/O power supply
Also, maintain the peak inrush current 20 A maximum and maintain the pulse width 1 s maximum.
Refer to 4-4-3 Selecting Protective Devices on page 4-25 for the rated values of the items when the
CPU Rack is used.
Calculating the Effective Value of the I/O Power Supply Current
The formula to calculate the effective value of the I/O power supply current, Irms, is given below.
