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

1756-SG001

, for module power draws.

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
