Introduction

Load Sharing DC Power Supplies

The SL8500 has

three

DC power grids that supplies 48 VDC to components

throughout the library:

•

The tape drive power grid supports up to 64 tape drives.

•

The robot power grid powers the HandBots and the pass-thru ports.

•

The front frame power grid supplies 48 VDC power to the cartridge access
ports, elevators, turntables, and the service safety door.

The DC power grids use

load sharing power supplies

. Load sharing allows the

output voltage of one supply to be monitored and adjusted by other supplies
on the bus.

In effect, each independent output voltage is adjusted so that all of the
independent output voltages are the same to evenly distribute the load so if
one output fails or is shorted, it will not bring down the bus.

Table 6

explains the quantity of load sharing power supplies required for each

power configuration and the number of components they power.

Tape drives—from one to:

This allows one supply for every:

Robotics

This allows one supply for every:

Front frame components

Electronics control module

Requires the 2N power configuration and matching DC power feature codes.

The electronic control module (ECM) power supplies are AC to DC converters and

different from the load sharing power supplies used by the HandBots and tape drives.
