I/O power supply module IC360x

IC360x power supply modules feed power to the whole system via the backplane. Different input voltages (24Vdc, 125Vdc or 220Vac) are available, depending on the installation requirements These modules have been designed for use in the harshest of environments, where low dissipation and high temperature support are needed. For this purpose, new semiconductor and transformer design techniques have been used. IC360x power supply modules are also prepared for redundancy operation. Two power supplies can be connected in parallel. In case one fails, the second one immediately takes control without any voltage drop. The LEDs of the malfunctioning power supply module will switch off, so that the user can identify and replace it. Redundancy operation is the well-known N+1 mode. That means that there is neither current sharing nor power sharing. When two power supply modules are connected in parallel the maximum output current is still 5A per output.
