Limitations On Configurations; Limitations On Unit Installation Position; Limitations On Unit Current Consumption - Panasonic FP3 Technical Manual

1-2. Limitations on Configurations

1. Limitations on Unit Installation Position

There are no limitations on the installation position when the thermocouple input unit is used on the basic system
(master backplane with a CPU), on the expansion system (expansion backplane) or on a MEWNET-F (remote I/O)
slave unit system.
Basic system
Can be installed in any position.
MEWNET-F slave unit system
Can be used on a MEWNET-F (remote I/O) slave station.

2. Limitations on Unit Current Consumption

There is limitation current consumption when configuring the FP3 and FP10S systems.
The 5 V power for unit operation is supplied from a power supply unit on the backplane and the total power
consumption of all installed units must be less than the power supply unit capacity.
The current consumption for thermocouple input unit is 500 mA at 5 V DC.
Be sure to verify that the capacity of the power supply unit of the backplane is sufficient for controlling units
installed.
The internal power supply (5 V) goes
to each unit via the backplane bus.
Note:
S For details about the limitations on the current consumption, refer to "FP3/FP10S HARDWARE Technical
Manual."
