Schneider TM5SPS3 Power Distribution Module 24V

Modicon TM5SPS3 24V Power Distribution Module

Product Introduction

The TM5SPS3 from Schneider Electric functions as the central power hub for your Modicon TM5 system. This module primarily supplies 24 V DC to all downstream I/O modules and ensures the communication bus, such as CANopen or Sercos III, receives clean and stable power. It is designed to work seamlessly with Modicon M258, LMC058, and LMC078 controllers. Consequently, the TM5SPS3 simplifies wiring and organizes power distribution. Furthermore, it helps to manage current loads efficiently across your entire control system.

Technical Specifications of the TM5SPS3

Power Supply Ratings: The module operates on a 24 V DC network. Its primary function is to distribute power efficiently. For the TM5 power bus, it supplies 750 mA when operating between -10 and 55°C. Additionally, it can provide 500 mA when temperatures rise to 60°C with derating. For the I/O power segment, it delivers a substantial 10 A, which is ample for powering multiple high-current devices.

Performance and Protection: This power distribution module has a maximum power dissipation of 1.91 W, which supports efficient thermal management within the cabinet. It features integrated short-circuit protection that requires a 10 A external fuse. Meanwhile, the module itself consumes a low current of less than or equal to 25 mA at 24 V DC, ensuring minimal impact on your overall power budget.

System Compatibility: The TM5SPS3 is specifically compatible with logic and motion controllers. Its design allows it to support systems requiring CANopen interface modules and I/O modules. This makes it a versatile choice for both motion-centric and general-purpose automation tasks.

Mechanical and Environmental Data

Mounting and Dimensions: This module is designed for standard DIN rail mounting, which simplifies installation in any standard industrial cabinet. It is a lightweight component, weighing just 0.025 kg, or 0.051 kg including its packaging.

Environmental Resilience: The TM5SPS3 is built to industrial standards. It operates in a wide temperature range from -10 to 55°C without derating for horizontal installation. It can even operate up to 60°C with a derating factor. For vertical installation, the range is -10 to 50°C. The relative humidity tolerance is 5 to 95% without condensation, making it suitable for harsh environments. Furthermore, it is certified to IEC 61131-2 and UL 508, guaranteeing reliable industrial performance.

Installation Guidelines for the Modicon TM5SPS3

Installing the TM5SPS3 correctly is straightforward and follows standard practices for modular automation systems. First, ensure the main power supply is turned off before beginning the installation to prevent any electrical shock. The module easily snaps onto a standard DIN rail in your control cabinet.

Next, make the necessary connections. The 24 V DC power supply connects to the module's input terminals. The module then distributes this power to adjacent I/O modules via the internal bus. Additionally, it provides power to the CANopen or Sercos III fieldbus interfaces. Because this is a distribution module, it acts as a central point for managing power, which significantly simplifies your wiring layout.

Important Installation Considerations:

• Always use an external 10 A fuse on the main power line for short-circuit protection.

• Ensure the total current draw of connected modules does not exceed the module's output ratings.

• Maintain adequate clearance around the module for proper heat dissipation, especially in high-temperature environments.
