The B&R 3PS477.9 is a robust power supply module designed to meet the demanding requirements of industrial automation systems. As part of the B&R 2005 series, this module ensures reliable conversion of a 24 VDC input voltage into the necessary internal voltages required by PLC systems. Each main and expansion unit within a system requires a dedicated power supply module like the 3PS477.9 to function effectively.
This power supply module is engineered to be installed in the far-left slot of the backplane and occupies two slots, integrating seamlessly into your existing setup. It boasts an output power capacity of up to 58.5 W, with a maximum current requirement of 3.5 A, ensuring that it can handle a wide range of power demands.
One of the key features of the 3PS477.9 is its built-in expansion slave, which allows for the initiation of an additional I/O bus segment, expanding the capabilities of your control system. This feature is particularly useful for complex systems requiring extensive I/O modules and peripherals.
The module is also equipped with a series of LED indicators that provide immediate visual feedback on the operational state of the power supply, including the status of the 5 V, 24 V, and 11 V internal voltages. This diagnostic capability is invaluable for maintaining system uptime and quickly addressing any power-related issues.
For added reliability, the 3PS477.9 includes a fuse for protection against reverse polarity and overload, ensuring the longevity and safety of your equipment. The module also features a READY relay contact that can be integrated into emergency stop safety chains, providing an additional layer of operational security.
With its combination of power efficiency, expansion capabilities, and protective features, the B&R 3PS477.9 power supply module is an essential component for any industrial automation system requiring consistent and reliable power distribution.
