Power System
The library supports single and redundant power configurations. The
single configuration has either a single AC or DC line input with a single
DC power supply. The redundant configuration has either a dual AC or
DC line input with dual DC power supplies. You can hot swap a power
supply if you have a redundant power supply. You can hot add a second
power supply.
Note: Power supplies cannot be mixed with other power supplies. AC
power supplies and power distribution units must be housed in
an AC power chassis and DC power supplies and power
distribution units must be housed in a DC power chassis.
The power system may consist of the following:
A single power switch, located on the front door of the control module,
turns on and off all power for the control module and attached
expansion modules. Each power distribution unit has a second circuit
breaker, located in the rear of the module, that controls the module
power supply output. The power supply has three LEDs that provide
status information. The power system also has four fuses for system
protection.
The control module and all expansion modules or right parking modules
that contain drives must contain a power system. If an expansion
module or right parking module contains only cartridges, its power is
derived from the control module and a power system is not needed.
