Calculating Heat Dissipation for the SLC 500
D–5
Use this worksheet to calculate the heat dissipation for your fixed controller.
Procedure Heat Dissipation
1. Calculate the heat dissipation for your fixed controller.
Write in the watts (calculated watts or maximum watts, see page D-1)
dissipated by the controller, I/O and specialty modules, and peripheral
device attached to the controller. Add these values together.
Catalog Number Heat Dissipation
Fixed Controller _________ _________
Expansion Chassis
Slot 1 (if applicable) _________ _________
Slot 2 (if applicable) _________ _________
Peripheral Device _________ _________
Total: _________
Place Total on this Line --->
___________ W
2. Convert to BTUs/hr. Multiply the total heat dissipation of your SLC
500 fixed control system by 3.414.
x 3.414
Total heat dissipation of the SLC 500 control system: ________ __ BTUs/hr
