10.1 Calculating Heat Generation of PLC

LOADING AND INSTALLATION
POINT
If the temperature inside the panel has exceeded the specified range, it is
recommended to install a heat exchanger to the panel to lower the temperature.
If a normal ventilating fan is used, dust will be sucked into the PLC together with
the external air, and it may affect the performance of the PLC.
(3) Example of calculation of average power consumption
(a) System configuration
(b) 5 VDC current consumption of each module
QS001CPU
: 0.43(A)
QS0J61BT12
: 0.46(A)
QS034B
: 0.10(A)
(c) Power consumption of power supply module
W
PW
= 3/7 (0.43 + 0.46 + 0.10) 5 = 2.12(W)
(d) Total power consumption for 5 VDC logic circuits of all module
W
5V
= (0.43 + 0.46 + 0.10) 5 = 4.95(W)
(e) Power consumption of overall system
W = 2.12 + 4.95 = 7.07(W)
