I/O Power Supply
I/O power is supplied to the I/O circuits of each NX Unit on the CPU Rack of the NX102 CPU Unit, as
well as to external devices connected to the NX Units.
Some NX Units receive I/O power through the NX bus, and others receive from external devices. If
any NX Unit on the CPU Rack receives I/O power through the NX bus, you need to prepare an exter-
nal I/O power supply device. For details on how to supply I/O power to NX Units, refer to the datasheet
included in the user's manuals for the NX Units.
To connect an external I/O power supply, you need an Additional I/O Power Supply Unit. Connect its
power supply terminals to the I/O power supply.
The I/O power supply can provide up to 10 A for NX Units via the NX bus connectors.

Precautions for Correct Use
Make sure to prepare separate power supply devices for NX Unit power and I/O power. Using
the same power supply for them may generate noise and result in malfunction.

NX-series Power Supply-related Units
There are three types of NX-series power supply-related Units: Additional NX Unit Power Supply Unit,
Additional I/O Power Supply Unit, and I/O Power Supply Connection Unit. The following table explains
each Unit.
