3.7 Power and signal sharing
3.7.1 Sharing Power Sources
The EKE 1x series can share common power supplies with multiple controllers because the power supply input of
the EKE is galvanically isolated from the outputs. The external power supply must have enough power rating
Watt/VA to operate multiple EKEs and most importantly enough power to run the valves. The Battery backup is an
optional feature. If Battery backup is connected to EKE terminals, the EKE will close the stepper motor if the
controller losses its supply voltage
A special attention is needed on sharing both external power supply as well as battery backup. it is not allowed
to share AC power supply and DC EKE 2U backup battery simultaneously with multiple controllers
In case both DC power supply and battery are shared between several units, it is recommended to have the
negative poles of battery and power input shorted together at each unit. Such solution requires EMC test to be
conducted on the nal equipment by customer
