USER MANUAL
24 VDC Power Supply Module
This is a switched mode type of power supply module with 24
4112
POWER SUPPLY
VDC input. The power supply generates the different supply 24 VDC
voltages and signal as illustrated in the table below. POWER ●

External
Output Use Access
5 VDC supply For Processor and I/O modules No
12 VDC supply For RS-232C serial communication No
PFNMI signal Aid for CPU housekeeping function No

The module is not to be used for any other

application other than powering up a Nexgen series
PLC.
The power supply module is fixed at the left most position in
the basic rack (Ordering code 4906, 4932, 4930, 4937, 4938,
4939). 'POWER' is marked on mother board at this position. In
expansion rack, if required module can be fixed to share I/O
module load. It should be fixed in the slot position marked as
'POWER'. For the same, expansion rack with auxiliary power
supply module mounting facility (Ordering code 4907, 4933,
4931) is required.

24 VDC Connections
A healthy 24 VDC ( 18 to 30 VDC including ripple) with proper earth should be
connected to power ON the PLC. The wattage required is 45 Watt. Earth should be
connected to a good quality factory ground. For this matter the complete PLC
installation should have a single electrical grounding point, which can be called a
reference ground. This can be either grounding point of an electrical cabinet or the
main earth busbar. The Earth line on module should be connected to this ground
by copper wire with a size not less than 2.5 mm2 (AWG12). This connection should
be direct, continuous and permanent.
It is recommended to use separate supply as explained above exclusively for PLC
power supply only. The same supply should not be used to drive any other load.
Over voltage (above 30 VDC) should be avoided strictly. It may
damage Power Supply Module permanently.
FG Connection
In the Nexgen PLC module,the Printed Circuit Board with metallic front is fixed
inside the plastic molded box. Each plastic box is covered by a metallic plate from
the right side. These are zinc plated mild steel plates serving as EMI shield. When
the Processor and I/O modules are mounted on base plate, every module gets
covered by shield plates from right as well as left side. All these shield plates are
connected electrically to each other through the copper tracks on the mother
board. This common point is then brought out as FG at Power Supply Module. This

2
is termed as Frame Ground. It should be connected to main earth bus bar only if
earth is clean. If earth is noisy, it should not be connected to Frame Ground.
Alarm relay R1-R2
This is a potential free contact with current rating of 500 mA., which is normally ON
when processor is healthy and in ‘RUN’ mode. This can be used for interlocking
for safety in electrical circuit.

STOP Don’t drive any external load through this relay.

Red LED 'POWER'

The top LED glows after applying input 24 VDC supply, if power supply is healthy
i.e. 5V is healthy.
Fuse Protection
This is a bayonet type fuse holder with 5A / 20 mm glass fuse provided for
incoming mains protection. It is recommended to connect a Miniature Circuit
Breaker (MCB) of proper rating in series with mains as additional protection and to
serve as a manual isolater.

All these recommendations should be observed when this power

STOP supply module is fixed in the expansion rack as auxiliary power
supply also.

Auxiliary Power Supply Requirement

The power supply module in basic rack provides 5 VDC to the Processor and I/O
modules fixed in basic rack as well as in expansion rack. The current rating of 5 V
supply is 5 Amp maximum. Each module draws current as per the 5 V
consumption mentioned in the technical specifications of each module. Around 5-
10% capacity may be kept as spare.
If the total 5 V consumption of all the modules exceeds 5 Amp, auxiliary supply is
required in the expansion rack. The Power Supply Module (4112) can be used for
this purpose. To use this module, specific expansion plate is required. The table
below gives the expansion plates available with this facility.
I/Os Ordering Code
8 I/O 4907
5 I/O 4933
3 I/O 4931

The user should calculate the total 5 V consumption and accordingly the power
supply module and expansion rack must be selected and ordered.

 Installation
Refer printed manual PD-2002-052 Nexgen 5000 PLC Installation Manual to know
• the installation of the module in the PLC rack.
• the installation of entire PLC system and safety precautions to be followed.
• the wiring inside the control panel and outside the control panel.

Troubleshooting
The Power supply module (4112) has one red LED indication named as 'POWER'.
If this LED is ON, the module is healthy. If this LED is OFF, the probable causes are
explained in the table below and proper corrective action should be taken.
LED Indication Probable Cause Remedial Action
'POWER' is OFF 1. Input supply is absent Check for external problem if any. Input
supply should be as per specifications.
2. Input supply not within Check for proper input supply as per
specified range specifications.
3. Module fuse blown. Replace the glass fuse 5Amp/20 mm by
same type*
4. Overloading of output 5 VDC due to
a. Faulty Processor module Remove the Processor module from rack
and check if 'POWER' LED is glowing. If it is
glowing, problem is due to the Processor
module. Replace it.
b. Faulty I/O module Remove I/O modules one by one and find
out which module is creating a problem. If
faulty module is observed, replace it.
c. Faulty expansion cable, Remove expansion cable and find out if it is
if any. creating a problem. If found faulty, replace it.
d. 5 V current capacity Ensure that 5 V consumption of modules do
exceeded. not exceed than specified.In multiple rack
system, if necessary, use auxiliary power
supply module with proper expansion plate.
5. Overloading of output 12 Check communication cable and external
VDC due to external device, which is interfaced on serial port.
device like MMI Jr conn- (Applicable for 521x CPU only)
ected to any serial port
on the Processor module
6. Module is defective Replace the module.

 * Be sure that power is removed while replacing the 5A/20mm fuse. To
remove the fuse, press fuse holder cap and rotate in anti-clockwise
direction slightly. Fuse cap along with glass fuse link will come out of
holder. For fixing fuse, insert glass fuse in cap. Push cap inside fuse
holder. Press and rotate the cap in clockwise direction. Always replace
the fuse with the same type, same rating fuse to maintain user
safety. If the fuse repeatedly blows, module may be faulty.

Troubleshooting points explained in the table are also applicable for the
STOP power supply module fixed in the expansion rack as auxiliary power
supply. In addition, if power supply module fixed in expansion rack has
failed, The Processor module is put in STOP mode indication 'APSF' on
its 4-character alphanumeric display fixed on the processor module.
