3 Installing the Drive5 system
The individual components of the system are electrically linked together as shown in Appendix A,
“Drive5 I/O Board Connection Overview.”
3.1 Drive5 power requirements
The Drive5 system requires a 24V DC power supply. The table below shows the power consumption
for two Drive5 units connected to a power supply via the recommended J-Panel board (4.2 * 24 =
100.8 W, steady state). For direct connection of a single unit to a 24V DC power supply, inrush
current is 3.5 A, steady state current is 2.0 A.
