Inrush current limiting
Note that in order to limit the inrush current to the MDP90A.., sizes 1 and 1A, a line choke must be used once a certain number of axis modules is reached.
Axis modules are assigned a specific number of points, depending on their size. Without a line choke, only a certain number of points may be connected to the power supply module.
The following tables show the permitted number of points for operating the size 1/1A power supply module without a line choke as well as the assigned number of points for the axis modules.
MDP90A.. power supply module | Maximum permitted points |
|---|---|
Size 1 | 8 |
Size 1A |
MDA90A..single-axis modules | Points |
|---|---|
Size 1 | 1 |
Size 2 | 2 |
MDD9.A.. double-axis modules | Points |
|---|---|
Size 1 | 1 |
Size 2 |
Example
MDP90A.. | Axis module | Points |
|---|---|---|
Size 1 | 2 × MDA90A.. Size 2 | 2 × 2 = 4 |
1 × MDD9.A.. Size 1 | 1 × 1 = 1 | |
4 × MDA90A.. Size 1 | 4 × 1 = 4 | |
Total: | 9 | |
