Chapter 1
Input Power Requirements
and Transformer Sizing
These graphs show the input power requirements for the power supplies, given
the power they are providing to the modules in the chassis.
Follow these steps to determine the power requirements for your chassis.
1. Calculate the Backplane Power Load by adding the power draw (in Watts)
for all of the planned modules.
Refer to the module specification tables in the ControlLogix Selection
Guide, publication
2. Locate the Backplane Power Load on the graph’s vertical (y) axis and
determine the corresponding Real Power (input-power) rating on the
horizontal (x) axis.
The Real Power value is the amount of power consumed by the power
supply.

For more information about calculating the required power for your system, see
the ControlLogix Selection Guide, publication
