STUDIO software. An optional powered handle unit can be attached to the stack in the same manner as imc CRONOSflex Modules, optionally containing a stabilized 50 V system power supply unit with buffered uninterruptible power supply (UPS). When "clicking...
With the introduction of the 48 VDC power adaptor for the imc CRONOSflex system (CRFX base unit and the CRFX input modules), the power supply socket on the device has been changed so that the 48 VDC power adaptor can only be used with imc CRONOSflex systems and not with other imc measurement devices with an input supply voltage of 10..32 VDC.

ACC/FGG-ADAP-PHE If the imc CRONOSflex base unit runs with 48 VDC power supply rather than the 24 VDC power supply, it is possible to operate a larger number of modules or a module with more power consumption directly with one power adaptor.
Main switch Chapter 3 3.8 Main switch The imc CRONOSflex base unit has a central main switch by which the complete block of directly clicked (stacked) modules is activated/deactivated. Independently powered, spatially distributed modules and subsystems (blocks) are activated/deactivated directly via their power supply connections.
Li-ion batteries. 3.12.1 Li-Ion batteries The Li-ion batteries (Smart Batteries) are accessible for exchange, with a keyed insertion mechanism, secured against reversed polarity. With imc CRONOSflex (CRFX) the Li-ion batteries are accessible on the rear side of a handle: CRFX/HANDLE-LI-IO-L. Note ·...
The PoEC supply lines are conducted via RJ45, but not via the module connector. · The local supply for a stacked block of directly connected imc CRONOSflex Modules always comes from the leftmost module's LEMO socket: pin-encoding on the module connector distinguishes which neighboring module is connected "on the left"...
Chapter 3 3.14.3 Directly stacked modules imc CRONOSflex Modules can be stacked directly using a click-mechanism, thus not requiring extra power supply or cabling. Any signal conditioning modules directly connected to a base unit are jointly activated/deactivated by the base units main switch.

EOS Short-circuit proof Since theoretically any amount of imc EOS and imc CRONOSflex Modules could be connected to the supply module, the supply module comes with a power limiting circuit with long-term short-circuit protection. This circuit limits the power consumed to approx. 100 W.
3.14.8 Power over EtherCAT operation imc CRONOSflex Modules can also be powered just from the network cable (EtherCAT-system bus), without any separate supply source. For this purpose a minimum voltage of 42 V is required, with a maximum current of 350 mA to be delivered.
For connecting the imc CRONOSflex base unit and multiple imc CRONOSflex Modules together to form a single imc CRONOSflex system, besides the power supply an internal system bus is necessary. It is based on standard network hardware and the real-time -Ethernet protocol "EtherCAT". The bus has a line-shaped topology where each module has both an input and output terminal to the bus.
