Installation notes
- The Power / Controller Carrier installs on T-type DIN rails.
- The Power / Controller Carrier can be used as a carrier for an S-series controller and S-series System Power Supply (24 VDC), as a carrier for S-series System Power Supplies only, and as a carrier for S-series System Power Supplies and a VIM or VIM 2 card.
- When the Power / Controller Carrier holds a controller and System Power Supply (24 VDC), install the controller in the right slot of the carrier and the power supply in the left slot of the carrier.
- When the Power / Controller Carrier holds a VIM or VIM 2 card and System Power Supply (24 VDC) install the VIM or VIM 2 in the right slot of the carrier and the power supply in the left slot of the carrier.
- When the Power /
Controller Carrier holds 24 VDC system power supplies to extend power, it can
be installed:
- between two 8-Wide I/O Carriers by sliding together the connectors on the sides of the carriers. Remove the jumper as shown in the image that follows the table. This configuration is used when the cards that require additional power are on the same DIN rail.
- between a Left Carrier Extender and an 8-Wide I/O Carrier by sliding together the pins on the sides of the carriers. Remove the jumper as shown in the image that follows the table. This configuration is used when the cards that require additional power are on another DIN rail.
- anywhere on the DIN
rail with a wired connection to the input terminal block on a Left Carrier
Extender. Connect B and the adjacent minus connector to the Left Extender plus
and minus. Remove the jumper on the terminal block on the Left Carrier
Extender. This configuration is used when the cards that require additional
power are remotely installed from the power source.
WARNING!These terminals (B and the adjacent minus) are only used to wire additional power to the input terminal block on the Left Carrier Extender. Inputting power on these terminal blocks could damage the power supplies installed on the Power / Controller Carrier.
- When the Power / Controller Carrier holds a controller and power supply or VIM card and power supply, it must be installed to the left of an 8-Wide I/O Carrier. A controller cannot be installed on the Power / Controller Carrier when the carrier is installed between two 8-Wide I/O Carriers.
- For DC power input, connect the plus and minus terminals only, as shown in the images that follow the table.
- Always remove input power to the Power/Controller Carrier before installing or removing a power supply from the carrier.
- The Power / Controller Carrier connects to adjacent carriers to form the LocalBus.

Note
The power inputs on the right side of the following image are needed only when two system power supplies are used.
