New for the Series 90-30 PLC, the Redundant Power Supply System (RPSS) is designed for high-availability applications. In the event that the primary power supply fails, the system power switches over to the backup unit without process interruption.

The RPSS is compatible with all Series 90-30 power supplies, CPU and I/O expansion bases. The flexibility of the RPSS allows power from multiple sources. An example is the primary can be connected to 120VAC source and the backup can be 24VDC.

The RPSS consist of a power supply baseplate that supports two power supplies and a redundant Power Supply Adapter. The Redundant Power Supply Adapter mounts in the power supply slot on any CPU or I/O expansion base.

Application Benefits:

· High availability. Applications such as pumping stations, process lines, emergency generating, batching, and other applications where uptime is critical are ideal for the RPSS. In the event that the power supply or the source voltage should fail, backup power on the standby RPSS power supply unit will ensure that the process doesn’t go down.

· Extensive diagnostics for easy troubleshooting. The Redundant Supply Baseplate’s built-in user diagnostics can be incorporated into the controller or an external alarm. Each power supply has Power Supply OK and Power Supply Active relays.

· Reduced down time with Hot Swapping Power Supplies. In the event that a power supply fails, the user can easily replace the failed unit by simply removing power from the defective unit and swapping while the backup unit is powered and controlling the process.

· Economical benefits. The Redundant Power Supply System uses standard power supplies and standard CPU and I/O bases. The RPSS minimizes lost production and scrapped product due to power supply failure.

· Compatible with existing product line. The RPSS is compatible with all Series 90-30 CPUs, I/O expansion bases and power supplies. Any Series 90-30 system can easily be adapted to the RPSS.
