Central bus power supply
When one or more power supply units (PSU) are used for the bus power supply,
this is referred to as a "central bus power supply". This type of bus power supply is
required in the following circumstances:
•
The permitted 8 Synco devices with DPSU (Decentral bus power supply = On")
are insufficient to cover the power consumption of the devices without a bus
power supply.
•
Synco devices and third-party devices are installed on the same line.
•
Only devices without a bus power supply are installed on the same line.
On a line with a central bus power supply, the following devices must not be used
to supply power to the bus:
•
RM…controllers
•
OZW775 central communication unit
•
QAX910 central apartment unit
These Synco devices must be set to "Decentral bus power supply = Off" to prevent
them from interfering with bus communications.
Power supply units for
160,
320
and
640 mA
are available. The power consump-
tion of the devices must be calculated as a means of determining the required
power supply unit, PSU (see the relevant values on the previous page).
For a line accommodating 64 bus devices, each with a power consumption of 5 mA
(64 x 5 mA = 320 mA), a power supply unit of 320 mA is sufficient.
The following power supply units from Siemens are recommended for KNX
networks (see also "GAMMA building management system").
Order codes:
•
5WG1 125-1AB01, short code N125/
01
160 mA
(with integrated choke)
•
5WG1 125-1AB11, short code N125/
11
320 mA
(with integrated choke)
Product data:
•
Operating voltage
AC 120…230 V, 50…60 Hz
•
Bus voltage output
DC 29 V (21…30 V, with choke)
For KNX networks with IP routers, the following Siemens power supply unit is
recommended.
Order code:
•
5WG1 125-1AB11, short code N125/
21
640 mA
Product data:
•
Operating voltage
AC 120…230 V, 50…60 Hz
•
Bus voltage output
DC 29 V (21…30 V, with choke)
•
Output, auxiliary voltage for IP router
DC 24 V (12…30 V, without choke)
For further information refer to the product description and description of functions
(enclosed with the device) or:
www.automation.siemens.com/et/gamma/
DC 29 V voltage with choke is required for the bus power supply. The DC 24 V
auxiliary voltage for the IP router requires a voltage source without choke.
