Base Power Specifications Module Power Requirements When determining which I O modules you will be using in the DL405 EBC system it is important to remember that there is a limited amount of power available from the power supply We have provided a table showing the power available from the H4 EBC and H4 EBC F or Expansion Unit power supplies and a table showing the maximum power consumed by each of the I O modules supported by the EBC If any device is connected to the EBC s serial port that uses the 5VDC supply pin be sure to include the device s power consumption in your 5VDC power budget calculation Following these two tables is an example of a completed power budgeting worksheet and then a blank worksheet you can use for your own calculations If the I O modules you chose exceed the maximum power available from the power supply you can resolve the problem by shifting some of the modules to an expansion base which contains another power supply WARNING It is extremely important to calculate the power budget correctly If you exceed the power budget the system may operate in an unpredictable manner which may result in a risk of personal injury or equipment damage The following chart shows the amount of electrical current available at the two voltages supplied by the EBCs and Expansion units Use these current values when calculating the power budget for your system The Auxiliary 24VDC Power Source mentioned in the
