Basic Information
The official model of the product is 3PS465.9, an original B&R product manufactured in Austria and fully compliant with the group’s global quality management system and international electrical safety standards. It has obtained CE and cULus certifications, satisfying EU and North American directives on electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility. The module features an IP20 protection degree per EN 60529 and is designed for indoor installation inside standard industrial control cabinets. The input supports 24 VDC voltage, while the output provides 24 VDC (50 W) and 5 VDC (40 W), with a total maximum output power of 60 W. A 6.3 A slow-blow fuse rated for 250 V is built in for basic circuit protection. Two onboard LED indicators clearly show input voltage status and output voltage status for real-time operating status judgment. The reserved expansion slot supports the installation of matching network interface accessories to expand communication ports such as fieldbus and Ethernet. Parameter configuration, status monitoring and fault diagnosis can be completed via B&R Automation Studio software. This module is fully compatible with all products in the B&R 2005 series, and is supplied as original parts for new projects and replacement parts for the maintenance and renovation of existing automation equipment worldwide.
Function and Positioning
The 3PS465.9 undertakes two core roles in the B&R 2005 series control system: system central power supply and network function expansion carrier. As a power supply unit, it converts the external 24 VDC input into stable 24 VDC and 5 VDC required by internal circuits and all functional modules of the rack, ensuring that CPU, I/O, communication and motion modules work within the rated voltage range. The built-in high-precision voltage regulation circuit can automatically adjust output when the input voltage fluctuates within the allowable range, effectively avoiding system operation abnormalities caused by power grid changes. It also provides external RAM retention function by supplying 12 V power (8 V to 30 V), preventing data loss during short power outages or voltage fluctuations.
This module integrates comprehensive safety protection mechanisms, including over-voltage, under-voltage, over-current, short-circuit and over-temperature protection. Once faults such as overload, short circuit or overheating occur, it will automatically cut off power output and trigger an alarm to protect the module itself and all downstream equipment. The inrush current suppression design reduces impact current during startup and minimizes adverse effects on the power grid.
As a network expansion carrier, the reserved expansion slot can be equipped with dedicated network interface accessories to expand multiple industrial communication functions. It supports mainstream protocols such as Ethernet POWERLINK, CANopen, Profibus and Modbus, enabling the control rack to realize data interaction, remote monitoring and distributed networking with other controllers, HMI and field devices. In system architecture, it can work independently for single-rack control systems, or be configured in redundant parallel mode for high-reliability scenarios to achieve seamless power switching. It supports hot swapping under non-fault conditions, facilitating on-site maintenance without system shutdown. As a foundational integrated module of the 2005 series, it is compatible with all types of functional modules in the same product line, and is an indispensable core component for building stable, expandable and networked modular automation systems.
Core Performance Parameters
The 3PS465.9 adopts high-efficiency switching power supply topology with 24 VDC input, and provides two groups of stable DC outputs: 24 VDC with rated power of 50 W and 5 VDC with rated power of 40 W, with a total output power of 60 W. It maintains high power conversion efficiency under both light load and full load conditions, effectively reducing energy consumption and heat generation during long-term operation. Complete electrical isolation is designed between the input side and output side, enhancing system electrical safety and electromagnetic interference resistance.
In terms of protection performance, all output circuits are equipped with fast over-current and short-circuit protection. The over-temperature protection will activate immediately when the internal temperature exceeds the safety threshold and cut off power output to prevent component burnout. The input side is fitted with surge suppression and electromagnetic filtering units to resist lightning surges and high-frequency interference from the power grid. Two front-panel LED indicators separately display input voltage normality and output voltage normality, allowing maintenance personnel to quickly identify operating status and locate faults.
Regarding environmental adaptability, the rated operating temperature ranges from 0°C to +60°C, and the storage temperature ranges from -25°C to +70°C. It can operate normally under a relative humidity of 5% to 95% non-condensing. The module has good vibration and shock resistance, adapting to mechanical vibration on industrial sites. As a double-width module for the 2005 series, it must be installed in the leftmost slot of the backplane, with a firm mechanical structure and excellent heat dissipation effect. The expansion slot follows B&R unified interface standards, ensuring stable signal transmission and mechanical matching with various network interface accessories.
General Matching Accessories
For on-site installation and wiring, users need to equip industrial-standard 24 VDC input power cables, grounding cables and supporting wiring terminals that comply with safety specifications. The module is fully compatible with standard backplanes, racks and slot accessories of the B&R SYSTEM 2005 series, supporting fast plug-in and fixed installation. To expand network communication functions, dedicated B&R network interface accessories matching the expansion slot shall be selected according to actual protocol requirements, including fieldbus interface cards and Ethernet communication cards. When redundant power supply configuration is required, supporting parallel connection accessories and current sharing modules need to be equipped to ensure balanced load distribution among multiple power supply units.
B&R Automation Studio is the exclusive supporting software for this module, which can realize operating parameter configuration, real-time status monitoring, fault log query and remote diagnosis. This module can be matched with all CPU modules, digital/analog I/O modules, counter modules, CAN bus controllers and human-machine interfaces of the B&R 2005 series to form a complete modular automation control system. In networked scenarios, standard industrial bus cables, Ethernet cables and bus terminators need to be configured to optimize signal transmission quality and ensure stable network communication.
Applicable Equipment and Fields
The 3PS465.9 is mainly applied to all automation control systems based on the B&R SYSTEM 2005 platform, especially scenarios that require both stable power supply and flexible network expansion. It is widely used in general machinery manufacturing, automated assembly lines, packaging machinery, textile machinery, printing and papermaking equipment, as well as material conveying and lifting equipment. It also delivers reliable performance in industrial machine tool auxiliary control systems, intelligent logistics sorting equipment, food and beverage processing machinery and various light industrial production lines.
Whether it is a small single-rack independent control system or a large-scale multi-rack distributed control system, this module can provide stable power support and flexible network expansion capabilities. With comprehensive protection functions and high operational stability, it is particularly suitable for production equipment that requires long-term continuous operation and cannot be shut down randomly. The integrated design of power supply and network expansion simplifies the internal structure of the control cabinet, reduces the number of discrete components, saves cabinet space and lowers the difficulty of subsequent equipment maintenance. It is applicable to both the construction of new automation projects and the technical transformation, upgrading and network reconstruction of old production lines, and can adapt to various industrial sites with harsh temperature, humidity and electromagnetic conditions.
