However, fewer protective devices may be required when the current consumption of each block does
not exceed the rated current.
An example of this is provided below.
•
Using Unwired Unit Power Supply Terminals
In this example, the current consumption from each power supply is as follows:
Current consumption from Unit power supply: I_unit1 + I_unit2 ≤ Lowest rated current
Current consumption from I/O power supply for NX Units: I_io1 + I_io2 ≥ Lowest rated current
