5 Designing the Power Supply System
5 - 10 NX-series EtherCAT Coupler Unit User’s Manual (W519)
Make sure that the following design conditions are met when you design the I/O power supply from the
NX bus.
• The total current consumption from the I/O power supply must not exceed the maximum I/O power
supply current of the Unit that supplies the I/O power.
• The voltage drop in the I/O power supply must be within the voltage specifications of the I/O circuits
of the NX Units and the connected external devices.
Use the following procedure to design the I/O power supply.
1
Calculate the total current consumption from the I/O power supply of the EtherCAT Coupler Unit
and the NX Units that are connected to the EtherCAT Coupler Unit, and calculate the voltage
drop in the I/O power supply.
2
If either of the following items (a) and (b) is true, add an Additional I/O Power Supply Unit to the
right of an NX Unit for which (a) and (b) are not true.
(a) The total c u rrent cons u mption for the I/O po w er s u pply exceeds the I/O po w er s u pply
capacity of the EtherCAT Co u pler Unit.
( b ) Voltage drop in the I/O po w er s u pply ca u ses the v oltage of the I/O po w er s u pply to go
b elo w the v oltage specifications of the I/O circ u its of the N X Units or the connected
external de v ices.
3
Calculate the voltage drop in the I/O power supply after the Additional I/O Power Supply Unit
and the total current consumption from the I/O power supply that is required by the Additional
I/O Power Supply Unit and by the NX Units that are connected after the Additional I/O Power
Supply Unit.
If either of the following items (a) and (b) is true, add another Additional I/O Power Supply Unit
to the right of an NX Unit for which (a) and (b) are not true.
(a) The total c u rrent cons u mption for the I/O po w er s u pply exceeds the I/O po w er s u pply
capacity of the Additional I/O Po w er S u pply Unit.
( b ) Voltage drop in the I/O po w er s u pply ca u ses the v oltage of the I/O po w er s u pply to go
b elo w the v oltage specifications of the I/O circ u its of the N X Units or the connected
external de v ices.
4
Repeat step 3 until the design conditions for the I/O power supply are met.
