4-4 Selecting External Power Supplies
and Protective Devices
This section describes how to select the Unit power supply and the I/O power supply which are the
external power supplies for the CPU Rack, and how to select the protective devices.
This section describes how to select the Unit power supply for the CPU Rack.
Use an SELV power supply that meets the following conditions for the Unit power supply.
• Has overcurrent protection.
• Has double or reinforced insulation between the input and output.
• Has an output voltage of 24 VDC (20.4 to 28.8 VDC).
Recommended Power Supplies: S8VK-S Series (manufactured by OMRON)
Formula
This section describes how to calculate the required capacity of the Unit power supply for the CPU
Rack.
Use the following formula to calculate the required Unit power supply capacity for each block in the
CPU Rack.
Required Unit power supply capacity of a CPU Unit block = (A) + (B)/(C)
Required Unit power supply capacity of an Additional NX Unit Power Supply Unit block
= ((D) + (E))/(F)
