Description
The 6ES5 955-3LC13 (PS955) power supply module is engineered to provide stable, regulated electrical power for Siemens Simatic S5-135U and S5-155U central controller racks and expansion chassis. This robust unit is designed for demanding industrial environments, ensuring consistent operation of backplane electronics, logic processing modules, and I/O bus interfaces by converting AC mains into reliable DC power.
Features
- Selectable input voltage range: 115 VAC or 220 VAC at 50 Hz.
- Regulated output: 18 Amp at 5 VDC for backplane and logic power.
- Integrated battery backup support using the CA-6EW1000-7AA lithium battery to maintain RAM and real-time clock data during power loss.
- Comprehensive protection features including overvoltage protection, short-circuit current limiting, and galvanic isolation.
- Front-panel LED diagnostics for monitoring AC input and DC rail status.
- Passive cooling design with thermal cutoff protection for sustained reliability.
Applications
This power supply is a critical component for legacy Simatic S5 automation systems, commonly utilized in continuous process industries such as petroleum refineries, thermal power generation, metallurgical processing, and large-scale mining operations.
