Determining the current consumption
The current consumption of a CTEL system depends on the number and type of connected I-port
devices.
Recommendation:
A regulated power supply.
When selecting the power supply unit, check whether it has sufficient output. Calcu
late the total current consumption, if necessary.
Calculation
Use the following table to calculate the total current consumption (è Tab. 3.1).
Please refer to the relevant technical data for the current consumption of the I-port devices.
Note
Select a power supply unit which provides sufficient output for subsequent expan
sions to the CTEL system.
Observe the notes regarding selection of the power supply unit in the CPX system
description (P.BE-CPX-SYS-...).
If you are using I-port output modules with a separate load voltage connection, take
into account the corresponding current consumption when selecting a power supply
unit.
