Overview
ENG_471590.XML
The power supply system for digitalization and Industry 4.0
As a unique power supply system with network integration, SITOP PSU8600 sets new standards in industrial power supplies. It can be fully integrated into Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) and networked via OPC UA and SITOP Manager with automation systems from different manufacturers. The 3-phase basic unit 24 V/40 A, 4 x 10 A is also available with EtherNet/IP™ interface.
Voltage and current response thresholds can be set individually for each output of the power supply system, and selective monitoring of each output for overload allows fast fault location. Depending on requirements, more modules from the modular system can be added without any wiring effort, for example to buffer against power failures ranging from seconds, minutes or hours, or for increasing the number of outputs.
SITOP PSU8600 can be easily configured in the TIA Portal: From the product selection through the network integration to the parameter assignment.
Comprehensive diagnostic and maintenance information is available via PROFINET. It can be evaluated directly in SIMATIC S7 and visualized in SIMATIC WinCC.
The basic unit SITOP PSU8600 4 x 10 A is also available as a variant with an EtherNet/IP™ interface and is integrated into Rockwell Automation's Studio 5000 design software.

Application
ENG_471592.XML
SITOP PSU8600 power supply system is used as a central DC power supply in larger plants, or machines with networked automation systems. The PSU8600 can be directly integrated into the LAN infrastructure by means of the two integrated PROFINET ports.
G_KT01_XX_01047
An extremely high level of reliability is achieved for the DC voltage supply by monitoring the individual DC branches for overload and bridging short-term power failures (brownouts). Complete transparency and fast fault localization are achieved by providing comprehensive diagnostic and maintenance information (e.g. load states of the outputs, phase/power failure, overtemperature) via PROFINET or OPC UA.
Energy-optimized operation is supported by measuring the current power and voltage values of each output as well as the individual activation and deactivation of the DC outputs via PROFIenergy during idle times. The basic unit SITOP PSU8600 4 x 10 A is also available as a variant for integration into EtherNet/IP networks.

The connection is made at the top of the modules without any wiring effort using the System Clip Link and a plug-in connector for system data and power supply. Up to six additional modules can be added in random order; this means that existing configurations do not have to be altered if a module is added at a later stage. Up to 5 BAT8600 battery modules of the same type can be connected to a UPS8600 module. The connection between UPS8600 and BAT8600 via the energy storage link enables intelligent battery management for optimum battery life.
Function
ENG_471594.XML
Supply of connected loads
An individual supply voltage can be set at each output of the power supply system. This means you can supply loads with different nominal voltages simultaneously with only one device. Plus the voltage drop caused by the different cable lengths can be compensated individually, which means each load can be supplied with the optimum voltage.
Monitoring of the outputs for overload
Each output of the power supply system is individually monitored for overload. If the load current exceeds the set response threshold, the output is shut down according to specified time-current characteristics. All other outputs continue to be supplied reaction-free.
Enabling and disabling the outputs
Each output can be manually enabled or disabled directly on the device (e.g. for commissioning or service) and an overload tripping can be reset. Outputs disabled due to overload can also be reset remotely using a remote reset signal (24 V input).
In addition, program-controlled enabling and disabling of the outputs is possible using the integrated Ethernet/PROFINET and Ethernet/IP interface. This also means you can disable individual outputs by means of PROFIenergy during breaks to save energy.
Communication
Comprehensive diagnostics information can be queried and processed via the integrated Ethernet/PROFINET and Ethernet/IP interface during operation for both the device status as well as the status of the individual outputs. This results in complete transparency, minimal downtimes and quick fault location. The integrated web server also permits remote monitoring of the power supply system.
Buffering
If brief voltage dips occur on the mains side, the buffer module provides the load current for supplying the outputs via its energy storage devices. Maintenance-free electrolytic capacitors or double-layer capacitors are used as energy-storage units.
UPS module UPS8600 can be used with the corresponding BAT8600 battery modules to protect against longer power failures. This allows power failures in the minutes to hours range to be bridged. These supplementary modules also make it possible to shut down the system in a specific and safe manner in the event of a power failure. For most power interruptions, however, the bridging time is sufficient so that the system can continue to run without malfunction.
