New Redundant Power Supply System for the Series 90-30 Supports High Availability
http://www.gefanuc.com/products/controll...
New Page 1
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.
