Central bus power supply
When one or more power supply units (PSU) are used for the bus power supply,
this is referred to as a "central bus power supply". This type of bus power supply is
required in the following circumstances:
The max. allowed 8 Synco devices with DPSU (Decentral bus power supply =
On") is insufficient to cover the power consumption of the devices without a bus
power supply.
Synco devices and third-party devices are installed on the same line.
Only devices without a bus are installed on the same line.
On a line with a central bus power supply, the following devices must not be used
to supply power to the bus:
RM… controllers
OZW775 central communication unit
QAX9x3 central apartment unit
These Synco devices must be set to "Decentral bus power supply = Off" to prevent
them from interfering with bus communications.
At present, power supply units for
160,
320
und
640 mA
are available. The power
requirements of the devices must be calculated as a means of determining the
required power supply unit, PSU See the relevant values on the previous page.
For a line with 64 bus devices, each with a power consumption of 5 mA (64 x 5 mA
= 320 mA), a PSU of 320 mA is sufficient.
For KNX networks, the following PSUs by Siemens are recommended.
Order types:
5WG1 125-1AB02, short code N125/
02
160 mA (with integrated choke)
5WG1 125-1AB12, short code N125/12
320 mA (with integrated choke)
Product data:
Operating voltage AC 120…230 V, 50…60 Hz
Bus voltage output
DC 29 V (21…30 V, with choke)
For KNX networks with IP routers, the following Siemens power supply unit is
recommended:
Order type:
5WG1 125-1AB22, short code N125/22
640 mA
Product data:
Operating voltage
AC 120…230 V, 50…60 Hz
Bus voltage output
DC 29 V (21…30 V, with choke)
Auxiliary voltage output for IP router DC 24 V (12…30 V, without choke)
For further information see the product description and description of functions
(enclosed with the device) or under:
A DC 29 V voltage with choke is required for the bus power supply. The DC 24 V
auxiliary voltage for the IP router requires a voltage source without choke.
