When operating electrical devices, it is inevitable that certain components will carry
dangerous voltages.
Therefore, failure to handle the units properly can result in death or serious physical injury
as well as extensive property damage.
Only appropriately qualified personnel may work on or in the vicinity of this equipment.
Perfect, safe, and reliable operation of this equipment is dependent on proper
transportation, storage, installation and mounting.
Before installation or maintenance work can begin, the system's main switch must be
switched off and measures taken to prevent it being switched on again.
If this instruction is not observed, touching live parts can result in death or serious injury.
SITOP PSU8200 1ph is a primary-clocked power supply for connection to a 1-phase AC line
supply. An electronically regulated DC voltage that can be set via a potentiometer is
available at the output of the device. The output of the device is isolated, no-load proof and
short-circuit proof. The LED displays indicate the operating state. The operating state of the
device can be processed via the signaling contact. The device can be switched ON/OFF
remotely using a remote contact.
It is only permissible to use an insulated screwdriver when a

The potentiometer ③ on the front of the device is used to set the output voltage. The output
voltage is set to 24 V in the factory and can be adjusted in the range 24...28.8 V; for
example, to compensate voltage drops across long supply lines to the connected load.
When adjusting the output voltage to >24 V, the output current must be derated by 4 %/V,
or the permissible ambient temperature must be taken into account with 3° C/V.

overcurrent pulse!).
This means that for full output current the highest
If the output current rises above the rated value and
above the current limit, the device reduces the output
voltage (see, e.g. Figure 6-7 Output characteristic

device shuts down latching, the red LED lights up.
This limit voltage of 20 V is independent of the set
output voltage. The 'Short-time overload current'
feature is not available in this operating mode.

Mounting
Removing
The SITOP PSU8200 1ph power supply is a built-in device. It must be installed in a housing
or control cabinet, to which only qualified personnel have access.
The device can be mounted in a control cabinet on standard mounting rails according to
EN 60715.
To mount the device, position it with the mounting rail guide at the upper edge of the
standard mounting rail and press down to lock it into place. If this is too difficult, press the

slider
To remove, pull up the slider ⑧ using a screwdriver and disengage the device at the bottom
edge of the standard mounting rail. Then you can remove the device from the upper edge of
the standard mounting rail.
If the devices are installed in a hazardous zone (Ex II 3G Ex nA nC IIC T3 Gc or Ex II 3G
Ex nA IIC T3 Gc), they must be installed in a distributor box with degree of protection IP54
or higher.
Output current as a function of the ambient temperature and mounting height
The device is mounted on standard mounting rails according to EN 60715. The device must
be mounted vertically in such a way that the input terminals and the output terminals are at
the bottom to ensure correct cooling.
A clearance of at least 50 mm should be maintained above and below the device (maximum
depth of the cable duct, 50 mm).
No clearance is required at the side.

In the case of mounting positions that deviate from the standard mounting position, reduced
mechanical resistance of the devices against vibration and shock must be expected.
Particularly when installing on a vertically fastened stand
measures may be required, e.g. to prevent the device from slipping on the standard
mounting rail.

For mounting positions that deviate from the standard mounting position, derating factors
(reduction of the output power or the permissible ambient temperature) must be observed in
accordance with the following diagrams.

Before installation or maintenance work can begin, the system's main switch must be
switched off and measures taken to prevent it being switched on again. If this instruction is
not observed, touching live parts can result in death or serious injury.
The SITOP PSU8200 1ph power supply is designed for connection to a 1-phase AC line
supply with a rated voltage of 120/230 V AC, 50/60 Hz.
Figure 5-1 Line supply connection
The line supply is connected using terminals L1, N and PE (see Figure 5-1 Line supply
connection (Page 27)), and must be implemented according to IEC 60364 and EN 50178 .
A protective device (miniature circuit-breaker or circuit-breaker) and a disconnection unit for
the power supply must be provided. A ground-fault circuit interrupter is not permissible
against indirect contact as the only protective measure. This applies for the complete line
supply protected by the ground-fault circuit interrupter.

grounded ( (PELV,

5.2 Output-side connection
At its output, the SITOP PSU8200 1ph power supply provides an isolated (= non-grounded)
SELV output voltage (Safety Extra Low Voltage). The output of the power supply is no-load,
overload, and short-circuit proof. If an overload occurs, the electronic current limiting function
limits the output current to a maximum value (see section Technical data (Page 31)).
Figure 5-2 Output connection
The output voltage is connected via the + and - terminals at the output of the power supply
(see Figure 5-2 Output connection (Page 29)). Ensure that the output cables are
dimensioned correctly for the maximum output current rms value and fused accordingly.

ion point of the protective conductor system (PE) of the plant or system.
The device supplies a constant output voltage until the current limit is reached. In the event
of an overload, the output current and the output voltage are reduced.
Parallel operation. The output voltage falls with increasing output current.
Latching shutdown. The device is shutdown if the overload lasts longer than 100 ms. Turning
the power supply off for at least 60 seconds causes a reset.
To increase the power rating, SITOP PSU8200 power supplies of the same type can be
directly connected in parallel.
The following must be observed:
● The cables connected to each power supply at terminals "+" and "-" must have identical
lengths and the same cable cross-sections (or the same impedance) up to a common
external connection point (terminal strip) if possible.
● The power supplies connected in parallel must be switched on simultaneously with a
common switch in the line feeder cable (e.g. with the main switch available in control
cabinets).
● The output voltages measured in no-load operation for the power supplies that are not yet
connected in parallel should not deviate more than a maximum of 50 mV. This usually
corresponds to the factory setting. If the output voltage is changed, you should connect
the "-" terminals and then, in no-load operation, measure the voltage difference between
the "+" terminals that have not yet been connected. The voltage difference should not
exceed 50 mV.
● Switch change-over switch "A" (see Figure 2-5 Selector switch (example: 6EP3333-
8SB00-0AY0) (Page 13)) to "Parallel operation".
Protective circuit for the parallel connection of more than two power supplies
9.1 Parallel connection to increase power rating
For connection of more than two power supplies in parallel, additional measures must be
taken to prevent high backward feeding currents in the event of a secondary device
fault. For this purpose, a suitable protective circuit (e.g. decoupling diode
or DC-conform circuit-breaker) must be installed between each "+" terminal of the power
supply and the common connection point.
For a high reliability of the supply, it
power supplies are fused separately on the line
power supply networks.
9.2 Parallel connection for redundancy
Connecting several SITOP PSU8200 power supplies in parallel for redundancy purposes is
required if especially high demands are placed regarding the availability of a reliable 24 V
power supply.
Using the SITOP PSE202Uredundancy module, two 24 V power supplies of the same type
up to 20 A can be decoupled (Figure 9-2 Redundant configuration with two power supplies
and SITOP PSE202U redundancy module (Page 49)). When one of the devices fails, then
the other automatically takes over the power supply. If one of the power supplies fails, then
this is signaled using an LED on the redundancy module as well as an isolated relay contact.
When dimensioning the system, it must be ensured that n+1 redundant connected power
supplies can handle the total power requirement of the remaining n power supplies.

SITOP PSE202U manual (http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/42248598)
To achieve an output voltage of 48 V DC, two 24 V SITOP PSU8200 power supplies of the
same type can be connected in series. In this case, connect the "-" terminal of the first power
supply to the "+" terminal of the second power supply. The "+" terminal of the first power
supply and the "-" terminal of the second power supply are routed to the load.
Depending on the grounding point of the secondary output voltages, voltages of +48 V,
±24 V or -48 V can be realized.
In the case of an asymmetric load distribution, it is not possible to guarantee correct
functionality.
When connecting two power supplies in series, the continuous, permissible SELV voltage
of a maximum of 60 VDC according to EN 60950 cannot be guaranteed in the case of a
fault.
9.4 Overload protection in the 24 V output circuit
If an overload occurs, the electronic current limiting function limits the SITOP PSU8200
output current to a maximum value (see section Technical data (Page 31)). The output
cables are protected against a thermal overload if they are dimensioned corresponding to
the maximum rms output current, or protected using additional components (for example,
miniature circuit breaker, fuses).
However, a load circuit that fails as a result of overload, for instance, should frequently be
reliably and quickly identified and specifically switched off before the power supply goes into
current-limiting mode (in current-limiting mode, the supply voltage would also be reduced for
all of the remaining 24 V loads).
The SITOP PSE200U selectivity module with 4 channels (versions with adjustable output
current range for each channel from 0.5-3 A and 3-10 A) is available for this purpose; this
monitors the 24 V branches for overloading and short-circuiting (Figure 9-4 Electronic
protection of 24 V consumers with the SITOP PSE200U selectivity module (Page 51)). Brief
current peaks, e.g. as a result of a high inrush current, are permitted, and branches with a
longer overload are switched into a no-current condition. This is also ensured for cables in a
high-ohmic condition and for short-circuits that slowly develop over time.
When a channel fails, the fault is signaled using a group signal contact or as a single
channel signal, and the branch of the module involved is displayed using an LED.
For versions with single-channel signaling, function blocks for evaluation purposes are
available at no charge for SIMATIC S7-1200/1500/300/400, for STEP 7 and TIA Portal as
well as for SIMOTION CPUs and SIMOTION SCOUT.
In the case of a drop in the line-side supply voltage, the SITOP PSU8200 power supply can
still maintain the output voltage for a short time in the millisecond range (see section
Technical data (Page 31)).
For line supplies that manifest frequent brief voltage dips, in order to increase the power
supply reliability, it may make sense to increase the line buffering time in the device using an
additional SITOP PSE201U buffer module.
The SITOP PSE201U buffer module, based on electrolytic capacitors, is connected in
parallel to the 24 V power supply output (Figure 9-5 Buffering brief power failures using the
SITOP PSE201U buffer module (Page 52)). The buffer time is 200 ms at 40 A up to 1.6 s for
a load current of 5 A. This time can be increased a multiple number of times by connecting
buffer modules in parallel; the maximum buffer time is 10 s.
Sudden and longer failures of the line supply voltage can result in undefined states and
significant danger as a result of the associated failure of the plant or system control. The
SITOP power supply product portfolio includes various DC-UPS solutions to prevent the
failure of the 24 V power supply voltage.
Power supply failures up into the minutes range can be buffered using the maintenance-free
SITOP UPS500 DC-UPS modules based on capacitors (Figure 9-6 24 V buffering to allow
the saving of process data and controlled shutdown of PCs (Page 53)).
Figure 9-6 24 V buffering to allow the saving of process data and controlled shutdown of PCs
Using the free-of-charge SITOP DC-UPS software tool, DC-UPS systems can be simply
integrated into PC-based automation solutions. This supports further processing of the status
signals and safely running down the PC.
