Calculate External AC Power Supply Loading for your Micro830 Controller
To calculate External AC Power Supply Loading:
• Get total sensor current loading. For this example, assume it is 250 mA.
• Calculate Total Power Loading by Sensor using this formula:
(24V * 250 mA) 6 W.
• Derive External AC Power Supply Loading using this formula:
AC Power Supply Loading = Total Power calculated for a Micro800
system with Plug in + Total power loading by Sensor
As an example, a 48-point Micro850 controller with2 plug-ins, and 2085-IQ16
and 2085-IF4 expansion I/O, and 250mA sensor current (6W sensor power) will
have the following Total Loading for AC Power Supply:
Total loading for AC power supply = 17.87W + 6W = 23.87 W
ATTENTION: Maximum loading to AC Power Supply is limited to 38.4 W
with maximum surrounding ambient temperature limited to 65 °C.
