TM5 Power Distribution Description

Power Distribution Overview

Power distribution starts with the controller in the case of non-safety-related controllers, and otherwise starts with the remote/distributed interface modules in both safety-related and non-safety related systems.

The first (leftmost) component in the remote and distributed configurations of the TM5 System distributes power for the 24 Vdc I/O power segment and generates power for the TM5 power bus. There are other components that distribute power to create separate 24 Vdc I/O power segments, and others that distribute power and additionally generate supplemental power to the TM5 power bus.

The Interface Power Distribution Module (IPDM) of the Sercos III Bus Interface is the beginning of the power distribution for the distributed configuration.

NOTE:
  • The TM5SBET7 Transmitter module is the beginning of the power distribution for the TM7 power bus.

  • The TM5SBER2 Receiver module is the beginning of the power distribution for the remote configuration.

Where and when needed, Power Distribution Modules (PDM) could be added to:

  • Divide the 24 Vdc I/O power segment into several separated 24 Vdc I/O power segments, or;

  • Divide the 24 Vdc I/O power segment into several separated 24 Vdc I/O power segments and provide supplementary power to the TM5 power bus if required by your I/O configuration.

TM5SPS10FS Safety Power Distribution Module (SPDM)

Where and when needed, the TM5SPS10FS Safety Power Distribution Module (SPDM) can be added, in association with its dedicated, left-isolating TM5ACBM4FS safety-related bus base, and is a power source for specified non-safety-related I/O modules. The Safety Power Distribution Module (SPDM) supports the pre-defined safe state of poweroff (de-energized) to the I/O modules connected. As illustrated below, the TM5SPS10FS Safety Power Distribution Module (SPDM) is used to create an isolated group of non-safety related I/O modules.

NOTE: For the list of compatible non-safety-related I/O modules that you can connect to the TM5SPS10FS Safety Power Distribution Module (SPDM) and of the general rules/restrictions/limitations, refer to TM5SPS10FS Presentation and to the Modicon TM5/TM7 I/O Safety Modules Hardware Guide.

A segment is a group of expansion modules that are supplied by the same power distribution module.

The power provided on the 24 Vdc I/O power segment is consumed by the 24 Vdc modules placed in this segment.

The reasons to build a new segment are:

  • An SPDM is required to de-energize a segment.

  • The first (leftmost) component in the remote and distributed configurations of theTM5 System distributes power for the 24 Vdc I/O power segment and generates power for the TM5 power bus.

  • To separate groups of modules. For example, a group of inputs separated from a group of outputs.

  • To provide power to the 24 Vdc I/O power segment (in the case that the power of the previous segment has been consumed by other I/O modules).

  • To provide supplementary power to the TM5 power bus.

TM5 Power Bus Description

The TM5 bus consists in two parts:

  • TM5 data bus

  • TM5 power bus

The TM5 power bus distributes the power to supply the electronics of the expansion modules of a remote or distributed configuration. If needed the power on the TM5 bus can be reinforced by adding specific PDMs/SPDMs depending on the reference.

The following table gives the first and last devices of the TM5 power bus:

TM5 Configuration

Power Bus Begin

Power Bus End

Remote

The Receiver module

The last remote expansion I/O or Transmitter module

Distributed

The IPDM

The last distributed expansion I/O or Transmitter module

NOTE: The TM5SBET1 transmitter module must be the last electronic module in either the local or remote TM5 configuration that you intend to extend.

Interface Power Distribution Module (IPDM)

The Interface Power Distribution Module (IPDM) is the connection of the Sercos III Bus Interface to the external 24 Vdc power supplies.

Among other things, the IPDM connects:

  • Directly the external power supply to the 24 Vdc I/O power segment.

  • The external power supply to the internal power supply that generates the power distributed on the TM5 power bus, which is derived from the 24 Vdc Main power connection.

The following table describes the parts powered by the 24 Vdc I/O power segment and the TM5 power bus:
