Technical Specifications (DS3820 series power supply parameters):
  • Main Output: +5V DC, ≥10A
  • Auxiliary Output: +24V DC (optional, for field sensor power)
  • Input Voltage: 85-264V AC wide range
  • Input Frequency: 47-63 Hz
  • Efficiency: ≥85% typical
  • Isolation: ≥1500V DC between input and output
  • Overvoltage Protection: Auto-shutdown at +5.5V DC
  • Overcurrent Protection: Triggers at 120% of rated output
  • Short-circuit Protection: Continuous, auto-recovery
  • Operating Temperature: 0°C to 60°C
  • MTBF: ≥100,000 hours
Functional Features:
  • Wide-range AC input adapts to global power standards
  • Complete input/output isolation for control system safety
  • Multiple protection mechanisms (overvoltage, overcurrent, short-circuit, overtemperature)
  • Hot-swappable module—does not interrupt power to other modules
  • High-efficiency design with low heat dissipation
Material Composition:
  • Housing: Flame-retardant ABS with aluminum heatsink (UL94 V-0)
  • PCB: FR-4 multi-layer board with large copper foil heat dissipation design
  • Key Components: Vicor/TDK power modules
Structural Features: Standard DS3820 module form factor, installed in the designated power slot (typically Slot 0) of the I/O rack. Front end has AC input terminals and DC output terminals. Top surface has POWER OK and FAULT LED indicators.
Application Scenarios: All applications using DS3800/DS3820 distributed I/O systems in power plants, petrochemical, metallurgy, and water treatment facilities.
Installation Requirements: Install in the leftmost or designated power slot (typically Slot 0) of the I/O rack. AC input must use an independent circuit—do not share with high-power motors. Verify polarity before connecting DC outputs.
Usage Precautions: Confirm all I/O modules are correctly installed before powering up. Input voltage must not exceed 264V AC or overvoltage protection will trip. Keep module fan (if equipped) clean to ensure adequate cooling.
