The SITOP PSU8600 power supply system is used as the central DC power supply of larger plants or machines with networked automation systems. The PSU8600 can be directly integrated into the LAN infrastructure by means of the two integrated PROFINET ports.

An extremely high level of reliability is achieved for the DC voltage supply by monitoring the individual DC branches for overload and bridging short-term power failures (brownouts). Complete transparency and fast fault localization are achieved by providing comprehensive diagnostic and maintenance information (e.g. load states of the outputs, phase/network failure, overtemperature) via PROFINET.

Energy-optimized operation is supported by measuring the current power and voltage values of the individual outputs as well as the individual activation and deactivation of the DC outputs via PROFIenergy during break times.
