4.2 Power budget

4.2 Power budget

Your CPU has an internal power supply that provides power for the CPU, the signal
modules, signal board and communication modules and for other 24 V DC user power
requirements.
Refer to the technical specifications (Page 1350) for information about the 5 V DC logic
budget supplied by your CPU and the 5 V DC power requirements of the signal modules,
signal boards, and communication modules. Refer to "Calculating a power budget"
(Page 1543) to determine how much power (or current) the CPU can provide for your
configuration.
The CPU provides a 24 V DC sensor supply that can supply 24 V DC for input points, for
relay coil power on the signal modules, or for other requirements. If your 24 V DC power
requirements exceed the budget of the sensor supply, then you must add an external 24 V
DC power supply to your system. Refer to the technical specifications (Page 1350) for the
24 V DC sensor supply power budget for your particular CPU.
If you require an external 24 V DC power supply, ensure that the power supply is not
connected in parallel with the sensor supply of the CPU. For improved electrical noise
protection, it is recommended that the commons (M) of the different power supplies be
connected.

WARNING
Connecting an external 24 V DC power supply in parallel with the 24 V DC sensor supply
can result in a conflict between the two supplies as each seeks to establish its own
preferred output voltage level
The result of this conflict can be shortened lifetime or immediate failure of one or both
power supplies, with consequent unpredictable operation of the PLC system. Unpredictable
operation could result in death, severe personal injury and/or property damage.
The DC sensor supply and any external power supply should provide power to different
points.

Some of the 24 V DC power input ports in the S7-1200 system are interconnected, with a
common logic circuit connecting multiple M terminals. For example, the following circuits are
interconnected when designated as "not isolated" in the data sheets: the 24 V DC power
supply of the CPU, the power input for the relay coil of an SM, or the power supply for a non-
isolated analog input. All non-isolated M terminals must connect to the same external
reference potential.

WARNING
Connecting non-isolated M terminals to different reference potentials will cause unintended
current flows that may cause damage or unpredictable operation in the PLC and any
connected equipment.
Failure to comply with these guidelines could cause damage or unpredictable operation
which could result in death or severe personal injury and/or property damage.
Always ensure that all non-isolated M terminals in an S7-1200 system are connected to the
same reference potential.

Calculating a power budget B
The CPU has an internal power supply that provides power for the CPU itself, for any
expansion modules, and for other 24 V DC user power requirements.
There are four types of expansion modules:
● Signal modules (SM) are installed on the right-side of the CPU. Each CPU allows a
maximum number of signal modules possible without regard to the power budget.
– CPU 1214C, CPU 1215C and CPU 1217C allows 8 signal modules
– CPU 1212C allows 2 signal modules
– CPU 1211C allows no signal modules
● Communication modules (CM) are installed on the left-side of the CPU. A maximum of 3
communication modules is allowed for any CPU without regard to the power budget.
● Signal boards (SB), communications boards (CB), and battery boards (BB) are installed
on top of the CPU. A maximum of 1 signal board, communication board, or battery board
is allowed for any CPU.
Use the following information as a guide for determining how much power (or current) the
CPU can provide for your configuration.
Each CPU supplies both 5 V DC and 24 V DC power:
● The CPU provides 5 V DC power for the expansion modules when an expansion module
is connected. If the 5 V DC power requirements for expansion modules exceed the power
budget of the CPU, you must remove expansion modules until the requirement is within
the power budget.
● Each CPU has a 24 V DC sensor supply that can supply 24 V DC for local input points or
for relay coils on the expansion modules. If the power requirement for 24 V DC exceeds
the power budget of the CPU, you can add an external 24 V DC power supply to provide
24 V DC to the expansion modules. You must manually connect the 24 V DC supply to
the input points or relay coils.

WARNING
Connecting an external 24 V DC power supply in parallel with the DC sensor supply can
result in a conflict between the two supplies as each seeks to establish its own preferred
output voltage level.
The result of this conflict can be shortened lifetime or immediate failure of one or both
power supplies, with consequent unpredictable operation of the PLC system.
Unpredictable operation could result in death, severe personal injury and/or property
damage.
The DC sensor supply on the CPU and any external power supply should provide power
to different points. A single connection of the commons is allowed.

Calculating a power budget

Some of the 24 V DC power input ports in the PLC system are interconnected, with a logic
common circuit connecting multiple M terminals. The CPU 24 V DC power supply input, the
SM relay coil power input, and a non-isolated analog power supply input are examples of
circuits that are interconnected when designated as not isolated in the data sheets. All non-
isolated M terminals must connect to the same external reference potential.

WARNING
Connecting non-isolated M terminals to different reference potentials will cause unintended
current flows that may cause damage or unpredictable operation in the PLC and connected
equipment.
Such damage or unpredictable operation could result in death, severe personal injury
and/or property damage.
Always be sure that all non-isolated M terminals in a PLC system are connected to the
same reference potential.

Information about the power budgets of the CPUs and the power requirements of the signal
modules is provided in the technical specifications (Page 1350).

Note
Exceeding the power budget of the CPU may result in not being able to connect the
maximum number of modules allowed for your CPU.

Example power budget

The following example shows a sample calculation of the power requirements for a
configuration that includes one CPU 1214C AC/DC/Relay, one SB 1223 2 x 24 V DC Input/ 2
x 24 V DC Output, one CM 1241, three SM 1223 8 DC In/8 Relay Out, and one SM 1221 8
DC In. This example has a total of 48 inputs and 36 outputs.

Note
The CPU has already allocated the power required to drive the internal relay coils. You do
not need to include the internal relay coil power requirements in a power budget calculation.

The CPU in this example provides sufficient 5 V DC current for the SMs, but does not
provide enough 24 V DC current from the sensor supply for all of the inputs and expansion
relay coils. The I/O requires 456 mA and the CPU provides only 400 mA. This installation
requires an additional source of at least 56 mA at 24 V DC power to operate all the included
24 V DC inputs and outputs.
