GE provides RSTi-EP power-feed modules (EP-7631 and EP-7641), which are used
GFK-2963A Power-feed Modules EP-7631 and EP-7641
December 2015 Potential Distribution Modules EP-700F, EP-710F,
to refresh the current paths and isolate the power supply. The RSTi-EP station‘s
main power supply is always fed in through the network adapter.
has a Module Status LED and connector block LEDs for inspection.
The power-feed module EP7631 must be connected if the current demand of the
series of input modules is too large. The power-feed module EP-7641 must be
connected if the current demand of the series of output modules is too large.
The potential distribution module EP-700F provides 16 connections for the
functional earth.
The potential distribution module EP-711F provides 16 connections for +24 V
from the input current path.
The potential distribution module EP-751F provides 16 connections for +24 V
from the output current path.
The potential distribution module EP-710F provides 16 connections for ground
from the input current path.
Power-feed Module
The potential distribution module EP-750F provides 16 connections for ground
from the output current path.
Power-feed and potential distribution modules are passive modules without
fieldbus communication, therefore they are not considered during configuration.
A maximum of three passive modules (power-feed module, potential distribution
module, empty slot module) may be installed in succession, however the next
module to be installed must be an active module.
The RSTi-EP station is usually installed on a horizontally positioned DIN rail.
Installation on vertically positioned DIN rails is also possible.
Modules should to be allowed to de-energize for a minimum 10 seconds after
power down, prior to starting any maintenance activity.
In the case of a maximum power supply of >8 A and a maximum temperature of
> +55 °C, all four contacts must be connected with 1.5 mm² wiring
Refer to the RSTi-EP Slice I/O User Manual (GFK-2958) for additional information.
Refer to the RSTi-EP Power Supply Reference Guide, a software utility available on
PME V9.00, for detailed power-feed requirements.

Field Wiring
The connection frame has one connector block, and two 24 V DC wires can be connected to each connector, along with
two ground connections. Those four connectors are used as shown in the following figure. The Spring style technology
allows either finely stranded or solid wire with crimped wire-end ferrules or ultrasonically welded wires, each with a
maximum cross-section of 1.5 mm² (16 guage), to be inserted easily through the opening in the clamping terminal
without having to use tools. To insert fine stranded wires without wire-end ferrules, the pusher must be pressed in with
a screwdriver and released to latch the wire.
In the case of a maximum power supply of >8 A and a maximum temperature of > +55 °C, all four
contacts must be connected with 1.5 mm² wiring.
The modules do not have a fused sensor/activator power supply. All cables to the connected sensors/actuators must be
fused corresponding to their conductor cross-sections (as per Standard DIN EN 60204-1, section 12).
Refer to the RSTi-EP Slice I/O User Manual (GFK-2958) for additional information.
