Note: At no load, the hold-up time can be up to several seconds. The green DC-ok lamp is also on during this time.

9. DC-OK OUTPUT
This feature monitors the output voltage, which is present on the output terminals.
The signal is a source output which can feed loads up to 30mA. Loads can be a 24V relay (Rcoil < 700Ohm), a LED or
the input of a PLC system. The relays operates or the LED is on if output voltage exceeds the threshold level. A free-
wheeling diode (necessary when the load is a relay) is already included in the power supply.

Threshold value 20V +/-4%

Output current min. 30mA For typical values see Fig. 9-2
Output voltage min Vout – 1V The open collector is internally linked to the positive output pole. The
at 30mA DC-OK voltage is approximately the output voltage if the output voltage
is higher than the threshold level.

Peak current capability (up to several ms)

The power supply can deliver a peak current which is higher than the specified short term current. This helps to start
current demanding loads or to safely operate subsequent circuit breakers.
The extra current is supplied by the output capacitors inside the power supply. During this event, the capacitors will
be discharged and cause a voltage dip on the output. Detailed curves can be found in chapter 27.1.

The Lifetime expectancy shown in the table indicates the operating hours (service life) and is determined by the
lifetime expectancy of the built-in electrolytic capacitors.
Lifetime expectancy is specified in operational hours. Lifetime expectancy is calculated according to the capacitor’s
manufacturer specification. The prediction model allows a calculation of up to 15 years from date of shipment.
MTBF stands for Mean Time Between Failure, which is calculated according to statistical device failures, and indicates
reliability of a device. It is the statistical representation of the likelihood of a unit to fail and does not necessarily
represent the life of a product.

27. APPLICATION NOTES

27.1. PEAK CURRENT CAPABILITY

Solenoids, contactors and pneumatic modules often have a steady state (sealed) coil and a pick-up coil. The inrush
current demand of the pick-up coil is several times higher than the steady state current and usually exceeds the
nominal output current. The same situation applies, when starting a capacitive load.
Branch circuits are often protected with circuit breakers or fuses. In case of a short or an overload in the branch
circuit, the protective device (fuse, circuit breaker) needs a certain amount of over-current to trip or to blow. The
peak current capability ensures the safe operation of subsequent circuit breakers.
Assuming the input voltage is turned on before such an event, the built-in large sized output capacitors inside the
power supply can deliver extra current. Discharging this capacitor causes a voltage dip on the output. The following
two examples show typical voltage dips:
Fig. 27-1 Peak load 4.2A for 50ms, typ. Fig. 27-2 Peak load 10.5A for 5ms, typ.

Output voltage dips from 24V to 16V. Output voltage dips from 24V to 10.5V.

27.2. BACK-FEEDING LOADS

Loads such as decelerating motors and inductors can feed voltage back to the power supply. This feature is also called
return voltage immunity or resistance against Back- E.M.F. (Electro Magnetic Force).
This power supply is resistant and does not show malfunctioning when a load feeds back voltage to the power
supply. It does not matter, whether the power supply is on or off.
The maximum allowed feed back voltage is 35Vdc. The absorbing energy can be calculated according to the built-in
large sized output capacitor which is specified in chapter 10.

27.3. SERIES OPERATION

The power supply can be put in series to increase the output voltage.
Fig. 27-3 Schematic for series operation Instructions for use in series:
a) It is possible to connect as many units in series as needed,
Unit A providing the sum of the output voltage does not exceed
AC 150Vdc.
+ b) Voltages with a potential above 60Vdc are not SELV any
- more and can be dangerous. Such voltages must be installed

c) For serial operation use power supplies of the same type.
AC d) Earthing of the output is required when the sum of the
+ - output voltage is above 60Vdc.
- Earth
DC Note: Avoid return voltage (e.g. from a decelerating motor or
battery) which is applied to the output terminals.

27.4. PARALLEL USE TO INCREASE OUTPUT POWER

Several power supplies can be paralleled to increase the output power. The ML50.100 has no feature included which
balances the load current between the power supplies. Usually the power supply with the higher adjusted output
voltage draws current until it goes into current limitation. This means no harm to this power supply as long as the
ambient temperature stays below 50°C. If a current sharing feature is required, choose the ML50.101 or ML50.111.

Fig. 27-4 Schematic for parallel operation Instructions for parallel use:
Unit A a) Use only power supplies from the same series (ML-Series).
AC b) Adjust the output voltages of all power supplies to
+ approximately the same value (±200mV).
- c) A fuse (or diode) on the output is only required if more than
DC
+ three units are connected in parallel.

Load d) Do not load terminals with more than 13A. Follow wiring

e) Ensure that the ambient temperature of the power supply

27.5. PARALLEL USE FOR REDUNDANCY

Power supplies can be paralleled for redundancy to gain a higher system reliability. Redundant systems require a
certain amount of extra power to support the load in case one power supply unit fails. The simplest way is to put two
MiniLine power supplies in parallel. This is called a 1+1 redundancy. In case one power supply unit fails, the other one
is automatically able to support the load current without any interruption. Redundant systems for a higher power
demand are usually built in a N+1 method. E.g. Five power supplies, each rated for 2.1A are paralleled to build a 8A
redundant system. If one unit fails, the 8A can still be drawn.

Mar. 2007 / Rev. 1.0 DS-ML50.100-EN

All parameters are specified at 24V, 2.1A, 230Vac, 25°C ambient and after a 5 minutes run-in time unless otherwise noted.

 ML50.100, ML50.109
MiniLine 24V, 2.1A, SINGLE PHASE INPUT

Please note: This simple way to build a redundant system has two major disadvantages:
- The faulty power supply can not be recognized. The green LED will still be on since it is reverse-powered from
the other power supply.
- It does not cover failures such as an internal short circuit in the secondary side of the power supply. In such a
situation the defective unit becomes a load for the other power supplies and the output voltage can not be
maintained any more.
This above conditions can be avoided by utilizing decoupling diodes which are included in the decoupling module
MLY02.100.
Other recommendations for building redundant power systems:
a) Use separate input fuses for each power supply.
b) Monitor the individual power supply units. A DC-ok output is included in the ML50.100, ML50.101 and
ML50.111. In all other cases, use the redundancy module YRM2.DIODE which has a monitoring circuit for each
input included.
c) When possible, connect each power supply to different phases of the mains network.

27.6. DAISY CHAINING OF OUTPUTS

Daisy chaining (jumping from one power supply output to the next) is allowed as long as the maximum current
through one terminal pin does not exceed 13A. If the current is higher, use a separate distribution terminal block.

27.7. CHARGING OF BATTERIES

The power supply can be used for float-charging of lead-acid or maintenance free 24V VRLA batteries.
Instructions for charging batteries:
a) Ensure that the ambient temperature of the power supply does not exceed 50°C.
b) Set the output voltage on a disconnected load, very precisely to the end-of-charge voltage according to the
expected battery temperature.
End-of-charge voltage 27.8V 27.5V 27.15V 26.8V
Battery temperature 10°C 20°C 30°C 40°C
c) Use a 4A or 6A circuit breaker (or blocking diode ) between the power supply and the battery.
d) Ensure that the output current of the power supply is below the allowed charging current of the battery.
e) Use only matched batteries when putting 12V types in series.
f) The return current to the power supply is typ. 10.7mA at 25Vdc when the power supply is switched off (except in
case a blocking diode is utilized).

27.8. EXTERNAL INPUT PROTECTION

The unit is tested and approved for branch circuits up to 15A (UL) or 16A (IEC). External protection is only required if
the supplying branch has an ampacity greater than this. In some countries local regulations might apply so check local
codes and requirements.
If an external protective device is utilized, a minimum value is required to avoid undesired tripping of the fuse.

27.11. USE IN A TIGHTLY SEALED ENCLOSURE

When the power supply is installed in a tightly sealed enclosure, the temperature inside the enclosure will be higher
than the outside. The inside temperature defines the ambient temperature for the power supply.

27.12. MOUNTING ORIENTATIONS

Mounting orientations other than input terminals on the bottom and output on the top requires a reduction in
continuous output power or a limitation in the maximum allowed ambient temperature. The amount of reduction
influences the lifetime expectancy of the power supply. Therefore, two different derating curves for continuous
operation can be found below:
Curve A1 Recommended output power.
Curve A2 Max allowed output power (results approx. in half the lifetime expectancy of A1).
