4-3 Connecting the Unit Power Supply
To connect the E3NW-CCL to the CC-Link network, the Unit power supply is required. The E3NW-CCL
does not require an I/O power supply.
The method for supplying power to the Unit is described below.
Consider the following points on the allowable current and voltage drop on cables and connectors and
the placement of the power supply used to supply power to the Units.
 Precaution on Cable Voltage Drop
Make sure that the power supply voltage to the slave farthest from the power supply is within the
allowable fluctuation range.
 Supplying Power to Units from Multiple Power Supplies
Using multiple power supplies to supply power can allow you to reduce the line current, reduce
voltage drop, and decrease cable size.
It also helps to maintain system stability in the event of a power supply problems.
 Power Supply Problems
You must decide how to place your power supplies and how to group them depending on whether
you want to stop the entire system when a power supply problem occurs or if you want to avoid
stopping the entire system when possible.
If you want to avoid stopping the entire system, install power supplies in multiple locations and
divide the slaves into groups.
This will also help to reduce voltage drop and enable you to use smaller cables.
Use a standard power supply that meets the following specifications.
We recommend using an OMRON S8JX-series power supply for the Unit power supply to the slaves.
Precautions for Correct Use
• The Unit power supply also provides the I/O power for the inputs on slaves with e-CON
connectors.
When calculating the output current for the Unit power supply, always include the current
consumption of the E3NW-CCL and the current consumption of all Sensor Amplifier Units in
the Unit power supply consumption current.
• Make sure that the power supply has sufficient capacity to handle the inrush current when the
system is started.
