Connect Power to the Series A
CompactLogix 5370 L1 Controllers
This appendix explains how to connect power to the series A L1
CompactLogixâ„¢ 5370 controllers.
CompactLogix 5370 L1,
Series A, Controller Power
Connection
The external power supply must be dedicated to the embedded supply of the
controller. The external power supply converts 115/230V AC power to 24V
DC or other application-required DC voltage that is within the operating
range of the controller.

IMPORTANT This section describes how to power the controller via the VDC+ and VDC-
terminals.
Connections to the VDC+ and VDC- terminals do not provide power to input
or output devices that are connected to the embedded I/O modules of the
controller or local expansion modules. You must connect power to the FP+
and FP- terminals to provide power to I/O devices that are connected to the
embedded I/O modules of the controller or local expansion modules.
For more information on how to provide power to input or output devices
that are connected to the embedded I/O modules of the controller and local
expansion modules, see page 320
.
WARNING: Do not connect directly to line voltage. Line voltage must be
supplied by a suitable, approved isolating transformer or power supply
having short circuit capacity not exceeding 100VA maximum or equivalent.
The controller power requirement is 50VA.
