5.1 Supply voltage
5.1.1 Sizing of the power supply
• Choose a power supply unit that is suitable for the currents in your application. The se-
lection depends on the bus configuration and the resulting maximum currents.
Some electronically controlled power supplies have a fall-back characteristic curve (see
Figure 5-1). They are not suitable for operation with capacitive loads.
WARNING: Loss of electrical safety when using unsuitable power supplies
The controllers are designed exclusively for operation with protective extra-low voltage
(PELV) in accordance with EN 60204-1. Only PELV in accordance with the listed stan-
dard may be used for the supply.
The following applies to the network (PROFINET and Axioline F) and the I/O devices used
in it:
Only use power supply units that meet EN 61204-1, with safe isolation and PELV in ac-
cordance with IEC 61010-2-201 (PELV). These prevent short circuits between primary
and secondary sides.
A power supply without a fall-back characteristic curve must be used for the correct
operation of the controller (see Figure 5-2).
When the controller is switched on, an increased inrush current occurs briefly. When it is
switched on, the controller behaves like a capacitive load.
