Plixus AE-R Power Supply
The Plixus AE-R does not have an internal power supply, however it does have two power connectors. By
default you get one power supply together with the engine. You can extend this power supply with another
as redundancy or when the system requires more power.
To check how many power supplies you require, consult the flowchart shown below.
