Mains-connected power supplies display the information necessary to maintain and control the power supply, in addition to delivering DC power to the facility's devices, which is one of the basic functions of a power supply. These power supplies can display when it is time to replace them, output voltage/current information, and surge current via remote control using Ethernet/IP communications and the main unit monitor, contributing to the following:
• Notify the power supply replacement deadline in advance to reduce unplanned facility shutdowns as a result of a power supply problem.
• Remotely monitor replacement lead time, total operating time, voltage and current of a power supply to reduce maintenance work at the plants.
• When used with the dedicated Power Supply Monitoring Tool software (which will have technical support soon), visualize the power supply status on the power reduction curve *4. To extend the service life, you can easily consider and implement improvement measures by upgrading the installation environment and changing the power supply capacity.
Data monitoring
Years until power supply replacement, total operating time, output voltage/current, surge current, self-diagnostics (overheating, measured value error, memory error), product model, serial number.
output method
, Modbus/TCP, monitor display.
*4 Stipulates the operating conditions based on ambient temperature and load ratio under which the specifications of a power supply can be guaranteed. The operating characteristics of the internal circuits caused by the increased temperature of internal components and ambient temperatures are taken into account.
