Power Supply Requirements

Watlow Anafaze provides the PPC-IPS2 power supply for the

PPC-2000 system. This unit supplies sufficient current for a

processor and various combinations of I/O modules. For

specification information on the power supply, refer to Chapter

7, Specifications.

Any power supply connected to the PPC-2000 should meet

these requirements:

• Transformer isolation

• Reliable operation without noise or feedback

• Provides specified voltage and current

• UL Listed

• Suitable for use in a 60°C ambient environment

Regardless of which power supply you use, you must provide

sufficient current in the specified voltage range, 10-28Vdc. The

current requirement depends on the type and number of

modules used. A separate power supply is required for each

controller. Use Table 2.1 on page 14 to calculate the current

requirements for your system.
