3.1.2 24-Volt DC Power Input Module (PM-24)
Using the PM-24, the ROC800 can accept 24 Volts dc (nominal) input
power from an AC/DC converter or other 24 Volts dc supply connected
to the + and – terminals. Connect the input power to either or both of
the + and – channels. The 24 V dc Power Input module (PM-24)
does
not
have CHG terminals for monitoring a charging voltage, and
does
not
monitor the input voltage for alarming, sleep mode, or other
monitoring purposes. The module has two LEDs that indicate voltage is
received at the backplane and the CPU (see
Figure 3-2
and
Tables 3-3
and
3-4
).
The Power Input module uses 3.3 Volts dc switching power to provide
power to the I/O and communications modules installed in the ROC800
and any expanded backplanes. With this Power Input module installed,
the ROC800 requires 20 to 30 Volts dc for proper operation.
Use the AUX+ and AUX– terminals to supply reverse polarity protected
source voltage to external devices, such as a radio or solenoid.
