Pre-installation Guidelines SIMATIC 545/555/575 System Manual
2.1 Planning Your Installation
Preparing the site for installation of your CPU consists of the following
tasks:
• Define control requirements.
• Determine the number of CPUs needed.
• Determine the panel and grounding layout.
NOTE: Since no two applications are identical, use these recommendations
as general guidelines only.
Use the following considerations to define your control requirements:
• Define the number and type of inputs and outputs you need.
• Calculate the number of I/O modules and bases that you need.
• Determine the power requirements and mounting space needed.
• Consider availability of space (including growth potential). This is
particularly vital if several double-wide modules are needed.
Calculate a power budget for each base prior to installation. The power
requirements of all modules must be included in the calculations—the CPUs
and the base controllers, as well as the I/O modules. The user-supplied
power to individual modules is not a part of the power budget calculation.
Refer to Appendix B for information about Series 505 and 575 VME module
and annex card power consumption.
To help ensure reliable system operation, the total power required for the
controller and I/O modules must not exceed the total power available from
the system power supply. Chapter 3 gives information about Series 505
power supplies; Chapter 4 describes VME power supplies.
For the 575, if a given module exceeds 3.3 amps in the VMEbus backplane,
then a J2 connector (PPX:2589739–8012) must be installed in that slot.
(This assumes that the module has a P2 connector.)
