Power supplies specifically meet ODVA cable requirements

-- Control Engineering, 10/1/2002

Skokie, IL - Sola/Hevi-Duty, a member of the Open DeviceNet Venders Association (ODVA), recently introduced three 24Vdc power supplies designed specifically to meet ODVA requirements for thick or thin cable DeviceNet applications in process control, industrial control or building automation.

All three Sola/Hevi-Duty DeviceNetTM power supplies feature industrial grade design including indefinite short-circuit, overvoltage and overtemperature protection, and DIN connectors. A narrow rail-width and large front panels with multiple connection terminals make the SDN4-24-100, SDN8-24-100REDA and SDP4-24-100 useful in space-critical installations. Sola/Hevi-Duty SDN4-24-100 meets UL1950 limited power source requirements and current limiting under abnormal conditions.

Sola/Hevi-Duty claims advance electronic design and rugged metal housing make this supply extremely fault tolerant. Sola/Hevi-Duty SDN8-24-100REDA is designed for installations utilizing the Full 8A capability of the DeviceNet Thick Cable systems. It offers a built-in isolation diode to prevent backfeeding of power when using multiple supplies, a DC Okay Signal, and pluggable screw terminal connections for easier wiring and replacement. Sola/Hevi-Duty SDP4-24-100 boasts the highest current possible while still meeting the NEC Class 2 rating.

The 4.2 amp unit offers a small physical package for installation on a DIN Other shared benefits include high-efficiency to ensure cool operating temperatures and minimal heat losses. In addition, all are backed by a three-year warranty and were engineered with a minimum of electrolytic capacitors, a leading cause of degradation of power supply performance over time.
