Power Supply PS2000 with EtherCAT Interface

The compact DIN rail power supplies with EtherCAT interface combine the powerful power supply units from Beckhoff with the ultra-fast EtherCAT communication standard. Extensive measurement and internal device data can be processed directly by the control through the integration of EtherCAT technology. This enables direct influence on the device via remote access and monitoring of both the DC output range and the AC input range. Device-internal parameter values, status bits and error messages can be read out, configured and reset easily and conveniently via the TwinCAT automation software.

The power supplies are 1-phase devices with an integrated EtherCAT communication level and suitable for applications with output voltages of 24 V or 48 V. Their compact design, paired with their efficiency and reliability, make them an impressive choice every time. Their high efficiency of up to 96.3% is achieved by the optimal layout of the electronics.

In addition to inrush current limitation and active harmonic correction (PFC, power factor correction), the power supplies offer a wide-range input suitable for worldwide use on the input side. The output operates according to the UI characteristic curve and switches to the safe hiccup mode in case of overload/short-circuit. An extra-power feature that offers 120% peak power capability is permanently available for the units in the PS2000 series. The peak power capability also facilitates the safe and precise tripping of circuit breakers.
