Calculation of the total current consumption
In the following example, the aC500 control system consists of
- the CPU PM581-ETH
- the 4 communication modules CM572-DP (1x), CM575-DN (1x), CM577-ETH (1x), CM578-CN (1x)
- the 7 expansion modules DC522 (1x), DC523 (1x), DC532 (1x), AX521 (1x), AX522 (1x), AI523 (1x),
AO523 (1x)
- as well as the required Terminal Bases and Terminal Units
Remark:
Because of the high total current consumption of the digital I/O modules (from UP = 24 DC),
the supply is divided up into several electric circuits fused separately. The maximum permitted total
current over the supply terminals of the I/O Terminal Units is 8 A.
The total current can be calculated as follows:
