3.5.3 PS Extension Board
The PS extension board (PS=Power Supply) is used to supply power to the
CPU 416-2 PCI independent from the PC power unit. This enables the CPU 416-2
PCI to be operated even when the Box PC 620 is switched off. The PS extension
board is a standard component in SIMATIC PCS 7 BOX. Connecting a backup
battery to the PS extension board enables several startup variants for the
CPU 416-2 PCI (restart, warm restart and complete restart). The ventilator of the
Box PC 620 is operated with voltage from the PS extension board.
The PS extension board provides the following voltage:
• DC 5 V for power supply for CPU 416-2 PCI
• DC 12 V for power supply for PC fan
