Current is now orange - power supplies made by ifm
electronic
Essen, 01 June 2010 - Power supplies are an important electric
component in automation technology. Very often their effect on the
current quality is underestimated and thus their influence on
unplanned machine standstills.
The new ifm switched-mode power supplies are available in two designs:
BasicLine in a compact plastic housing and ClassicLine in a robust metal
housing. Both designs only require little space on the DIN rail, because of
their slim housing.
After power-on, the power supplies start, even without minimum load, and
are short-circuit proof and overload protected. Two LEDs and a DCok
output signal the operating states. Due to the wide-range input and the
cULus approval they can be used worldwide.
Besides the long mains buffering time of up to 400 ms, another special
feature of the ClassicLine is the "intelligent power reserve": at a 1.5-fold
nominal load the power supplies can provide "extra current" for 5 s, and
for a longer time in case of lower overload. This additional power allows
even difficult loads to start (motors, DC/DC converters). The input voltage
range is from 100 to 240 V AC ± 10 %, the output voltage of the 24 V DC
power supplies can be set from
24 to 28 V.
Further versions are designed for the fieldbus system AS-Interface. They
have, in addition, an integrated data decoupling and a constant current
characteristic.
