Overview: Grounding
CPU 31xC
The figure below shows you the complete assembly of an S7-300 with CPU 31xC with a
power supply from TN-S mains. Apart from powering the CPU, the PS 307 also supplies the
load current for the 24 VDC modules. Note: The layout of the power connections does not
correspond with their physical arrangement; it was merely selected to give you a clear
overview.
