Supply voltages
The option card is supplied by the internal 24 V DC supply of VLT 5000, but as the available power is
limited it can be necessary to use an external 24 V DC supply.
The 24 V DC supply of VLT 5000 can supply a total of 420 mA including the load on the control card
(terminal 12, 13 and output 42 and 45).
The 5 V output on the option card is generated from the 24 V supply. The maximum power on the 5 V
side is 5 V * 280 mA = 1.4 W, this corresponds to app. 60 mA on the 24 V side.
When an external 24 V DC voltage source is used the internal 24 V supply from the control card must
be disconnected, this is done by opening switch 1.1 and 1.2
Each digital input on the option card takes 8 mA. Each digital output on the option card can supply up
to 0.7 A (external 24V-supply) depending on the load. The load from the 24 V supply (internal or
external) can be calculated as follows:
8 mA * number of digital inputs
