Calculation of the current and power loss balance
The following table contains the power consumption and loss balance for the S7- 300
configuration described above. This current consumption and power loss balance does not
include any actuators connected to the outputs.

Result
The following results can be derived from the table above:
1. Current consumption from S7-300 backplane bus:
The current consumption of the signal and TIM modules from the backplane bus amounts
to a total of 270 mA. It does not therefore exceed the 1.2 A that the CPU 314 can supply
to the backplane bus.
2. Current consumption from the 24 V power supply:
The current consumption of the signal. TIM and modem modules from the 24 V load
power supply amounts to approx. 1.9 A. All additional loads must also be taken into
account. Depending on this, you can then select the PS 307 power supply. The PS 307
unit with 2 A output current would probably be not quite adequate for this example.
3. Power loss:
The power loss of the S7-300 configuration amounts to a total of 50.6 W.
The power loss of all the components used in a cabinet (including the S7-300
configuration with 50.6 W) must not exceed the maximum suppliable power of the
cabinet.
Note
When planning the dimensions of the cabinet, make sure that the temperature in the cabinet
does not exceed the permitted maximum of 60 °C even when the temperature outside the
cabinet is high.
