Field Power Supplies.
Decentralized power supplies for field assembly.
The need for flexible, modular systems shapes machine and system engineering. Decentralization of the system components has proven to be an important factor for success. It speeds up system planning, simplifies maintenance and enables easy expansion of the system. In addition, control cabinets can be replaced by smaller versions or even completely dismantled.
With FIEPOS (Field Power Supplies), PULS presents a new type of power supply that was developed precisely for this environment: A decentralized power supply with protection class IP54, IP65 or IP67 that is available ex stock, is easy to install and flexible enough to meet the diverse requirements of modular factory automation.
In short, FIEPOS is the alternative to a power supply in the centralized control cabinet, decentralized on-site control box or a customer-specific solution.
Until now
Traditional system design with central IP20 field power supply
The centralized supply of peripheral devices in the field requires long cable runs with a large cross-section. Due to the power losses caused by long cables, the power supply must be over-sized.
New
Modular system design with IP54, IP65 or IP67 field power supplies
FIEPOS supplies spacious applications with energy in a decentralized, efficient and flexible way. This enables a modular system structure as well as an effective expansion, maintenance and retrofitting of individual components of the system.
Field Power Supply series.
The right solution for every application.
1 high-power DC output
Basic series
The FIEPOS Basic series offers one DC output and is available with a power of 300W or 500W. The IP54, IP65 and IP67 power supplies are perfect for the decentralized supply of 1-phase or 3-phase systems and machines. The FIEPOS Basic power supplies can be easily connected in parallel, e.g. to increase total performance or realize a reliable redundant system.

These devices make it easy to implement selective power distribution, protection and monitoring directly in the field. The eFused series is therefore a space-saving, fused power supply system. It is a real alternative to a power supply unit with an external, electronic protection module.

Benefits.
Save costs, time, and space.
Flexibility
The compact housing with a high degree of ingress protection (IP54, IP65 or IP67) and various connector options enables the power supply to be installed flexibly outside of the control cabinet and directly on the machine.
Ease of use
The output voltage and the current-limited outputs (eFused series) can be monitored and set directly via the LED interface and the push buttons on the front of the device or remotely via IO-Link.
Cost savings
The FIEPOS field power supplies make it possible to use shorter cables and smaller cable cross-sections. This not only saves on the costs of copper but also on the installation work for the cabling. In addition, an all-in-one device can be used instead of several components. This means less effort in managing part numbers and less time effort in installation.
Space savings
Thanks to the integrated, current-limited outputs in the eFused series, no additional protection module is required. This saves space in the system. In addition, centralized control cabinets and decentralized on-site control boxes can be reduced and space can be used to expand the system. Fewer components also mean more free space in the warehouse.
Field Power Supplies.
The alternative to a cabinet.
The FIEPOS eFused is also available with a current-limited high-power channel (20 A) and an additional fused low-power channel (2–12 A). The compact FIEPOS device can be attached directly to the machine and replaces decentralized on-site cabinets such as those comprising a 24 V 20 A power supply and an electronic fuse for creating an electric circuit compliant with NEC class 2 standards.
With the eFused version, it is no problem to supply decentralized loads with high energy consumption and set up a NEC Class 2 circuit at the same time.
This means that the compact IP54, IP65 or IP67 power supplies can replace on-machine control boxes that consist of a 24V 20A power supply and an electronic fuse.
The graphic shows how you can save material costs, working hours, and space by using field power supplies.
FAQs.
Questions and answers.
Possible uses
Where can the field power supplies be used?
The potential applications of FIEPOS field power supplies are virtually limitless. That said, modular applications in the field of conveyor systems, storage technology, robotics, control technology, regulation technology, and material handling, in particular, all benefit from this technology.
Connectors
Which plug connectors are available?
The FIEPOS field power supplies devices are available with the following connector types: 7/8”, M12-L/-T/-A, HAN-Q series, and Quicken. Other plug configurations are available on request.
Extra Power
Do the field power supplies have power reserves?
Yes, all devices provide 200% (600W bzw. 1.000W) for 5 s and 120% continuously (at an ambient temperature of up to +45 °C).
IO-Link
Which information does the power supply provide via the IO-Link interface?
Via IO-Link, the power supply provides information about important parameters such as service life, temperature, voltage, current, etc. and alarms of overload, a faulty DC voltage or even if channels are triggered. Remote access is also possible via IO-Link. This enables the device to be switched on and off remotely, the voltage and tripping currents to be set and tripped channels to be reset.
Mounting
Can the device also be mounted on the DIN rail?
Yes, all FIEPOS devices can be mounted in three different ways: By simply attaching it to a DIN rail, by hanging and fixing it in place via the integrated keyholes, or by screw mounting. No matter which option you choose, no additional accessories are required.
Temperature
What temperature range can the devices be used in?
The FIEPOS field power supply products can be operated in ambient temperatures ranging from -25 °C to +55 °C without any loss of performance. With linear derating, temperatures of up to +70 °C being allowed.
Protection classes
What degree of ingress protection is available for the FIEPOS field power supplies?
The robust FIEPOS devices are available with IP54 (dust-protected, splash-proof), IP65 (dust-tight, jet-proof), or IP67 (dust-tight, temporarily immersible) protection, making them well protected against water, dust, and other contaminants.
NEC Class 2
Is it also possible to create NEC class 2 compliant circuits?
Yes, that’s possible. You can set the tripping current to the NEC class 2 standard either directly on the device or via IO‑Link. In the event of an overload, the current is limited for a set period. The current limitation then intervenes to ensure that the maximum permissible power peak of 100VA defined for NEC class 2 is not exceeded at any point.
