• The switch must be closed if the supply comes via AUX power. • Attention: Only max. 4A will then be available for the entire module. It must be guaranteed that the module is not supplied via X03 if the supply comes via AUX power. For Type ME66, Power 1 and Power 2 are two separate circuits with common ground. • Power 1 supplies ports X1-X4, Power 2 supplies ports X5-X8 • Power supply via port X03 with a current of 2 x 16A (16A per circuit).

Type ME66 Installation Reverse protection - ME63 If both supplies (A-coded and L-coded) are connected, it is not permitted for any return flow to occur via the A-coded supply. With the ME63 type, this is prevented via reverse protection. If the modules are only supplied via the M12 A-coded (X4) supply, the reserve protection function switches over automatically. Power supply via X01 (AUX power) - ME64 & ME66 The power supply is activated via port X03 for the modules in delivery condition. ATTENTION Input cannot be made via both ports at the same time. If the modules are supplied via port X01, the switch must be changed over. Underneath the light blue side panel, there is a switch for changing over the module supply from X03 to port X01 (AUX power). „7.4.2 Simplified power supply plan“ ATTENTION Damage to the switch for AUX power. A current >4A will damage the switch.
