Other modules, such as CPUs 351, 352, 363, 364, and 374 require a separate shield ground.
  • Page 55 The second method, which can be used for systems in noisy environments consists of installing the green ground wire and the optional grounding bracket (part number 44C715646-001R01). This bracket attaches to the CPU using two #4 thread-rolling screws (part number N666P9004B6) and to the grounded enclosure using two #6 thread-rolling screws (part number N666P13006B6).

    CPU363, CPU364, and CPU374 Shield Grounding The CPU363, CPU364, and CPU374 modules must be connected to frame ground at the slot where they are installed. Each module comes with a grounding wire for this purpose. These modules do not support or require the use of a grounding bracket. If the ring terminal on the grounding wire is to be mounted to a painted surface, remove the paint under the ring terminal to ensure good contact, or place a star lock washer between the ring terminal and the painted surface.

    Where AC or Output wiring bundles must pass near noise-sensitive signal wiring bundles, avoid running them beside each other. Route them so that, if they have to cross, they do so at a right angle. This will minimize coupling between them. Grouping Modules to Keep Wires Segregated If practical, grouping similar modules together in the PLC racks can help keep wiring segregated.

    10-slot. If you only need a 5-slot size, you may want to consider whether the extra slots that a 10-slot size provides would be advantageous for possible future expansion. On the other hand, the 5-slot size requires less space. Expansion and Remote baseplates - These also come in 5-slot and 10-slot sizes. In general, it is best to use Expansion baseplates where possible instead of Remote baseplates because of the better speed performance of the Expansion baseplates.

  • Page 321: Reducing Plc Module Count By Using Other Ge Products

    If system size limitations (more than 79 modules are needed) are a problem in a system using Remote racks, a possible solution could be the use of GE Genius Blocks, Field Control, or VersaMax products. These distributed I/O devices can be used instead of Remote racks in remote locations in some cases, and their use would not add to the Series 90-30 module count.

  • Page 388 Calculating Series 90-30 Heat Dissipation Appendix Overview Series 90-30 PLCs must be mounted in a protective enclosure. The enclosure should be capable of properly dissipating the heat produced by all of the devices mounted inside it. This appendix describes how to calculate heat dissipation for a Series 90-30 PLC. The strategy is to calculate a heat dissipation value, in watts, for each individual module in the PLC.
  • Page 389 Procedure Step 1: Basic Method to Calculate Module Dissipation Note that this step does not apply to Power Supply Modules, which are covered in Step 2. The values needed for this calculation are found in the “Load Requirements” table in Chapter 12. Use the following electrical power formula in these calculations Power (in watts) = Voltage (in volts) x Current (in Amps).
  • Page 390 Step 2: Calculation for PLC Power Supplies A basic rule for Series 90 power supplies is that they are 66% efficient. Another way of stating this is that the power supply dissipates 1 watt of power in the form of heat for every 2 watts of power it delivers to the PLC.
  • Page 391 solenoid draws 1.0 Amp. The cylinder advances and retracts once every 60 seconds that the machine is cycling. It takes 6 seconds to advance and 6 seconds to retract. Since the cylinder takes equal time to advance and retract, both solenoids are on for equal lengths of time: 6 seconds out of every 60 seconds, which is 10% of the time.
  • Page 392 Repeat for all inputs on the module. To save time, you could determine if several inputs were similar in current draw and on-time so that you would only have to make their calculation once. Repeat these calculations for all Discrete Input modules in the rack. Discrete Input Module Example: The “Specifications”...
  • Page 393 Step 5: Final Calculation Once the individual power dissipations have been calculated, add them all to obtain total PLC heat dissipation. Note that the PLC baseplate, analog input modules, and analog output modules have been ignored in this procedure because their power dissipation values are negligible when compared with the total.
