Components and safety measures
Different components and safety measures are prescribed for setting up a complete plant.
The nature of the components and the degree of credibility of the safety measures depends
on which DIN VDE directive applies to your unit configuration. The following table refers to
the two following figures.

Properties of load power supplies
The load power supply supplies input and output circuits (load circuits) as well as sensors and
actuators. The following lists the properties of load power supplies that are required in special
application cases.

required for ... Remarks
Safer (electrical) isolation
Modules that must be supplied
with voltages ≤ DC 60 V or
The power supplies PS 307 as
well as the Siemens load power
supplies of the 6EP1 series have
this property.
24 V DC load power supply
Tolerances of the output volt-
age:
In the case of considerable une-
venness of the output voltage,
we recommend using a support-
ing capacitor. Measurement:
200 µF per 1 A load current
(with bridge rectification).
24 V DC load power supply
48 V DC load power supply
60 V DC load power supply
Rule: ground the load circuits
The load circuits should be grounded.
A perfect functioning security is given on account of the mutual reference potential (ground).
On the load power supply (terminals L or M) or on the isolation transformer provide a
disconnectable connection to the grounding wire (position ④ in the following figure). In the
event of faults in the energy distribution, this measure makes it easier for you to localize
contacts to earth.
