PSX100

Product Description:

Kollmorgen manufactures the PSX100. Part of the SE2000 DC Motor Controller family, the Kollmorgen PSX100 is a power conversion module that can work with a variety of alternating current inputs. It can handle voltages ranging from 100 to 240 volts at normal line frequencies of 50 to 60 Hz. This broad input range makes it compatible with a variety of global power grids, facilitating a smooth transition into global industrial infrastructures. By adapting to changing supply conditions, the internal design reduces the need for external voltage conditioning equipment. In addition to making system design easier, this universal input capability increases the controller's flexibility in intricate automation environments where reliable power adaptation is essential for continuous operation. The PSX100 supports a power output ceiling of 36 W by delivering a fixed 13.8 VDC output at a maximum current of 3 A using internal AC-to-DC conversion and precise voltage control. For sensitive control electronics and auxiliary devices in automation systems to operate dependably, electrical stability is guaranteed by this controlled output.

The PSX100 optimizes energy use and lessens the strain on thermal management components thanks to its efficient power conversion and low thermal losses, which are shown by its efficiency rating of over 80%. The unit also has low output voltage ripple, which is kept below 120 mV peak-to-peak. This is crucial for circuits that are sensitive to noise, especially in systems that use analog signal processing or precision digital control, where voltage fluctuations can impair functionality or result in malfunctions. An additional feature that sets the PSX100 apart is its incorporated Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) triple protection system, which offers a multi-tiered defense against electrical faults such as overload, overvoltage, and short circuit situations.

A self-regulating polymeric PTC thermistor, which actively limits fault current and guards against component damage by increasing resistance under high current or heat stress, is used to accomplish this dynamic protection method. Its mechanically sturdy shell, made of galvanized steel and coated with an epoxy powder coat that complies with RAL 7035, complements its internal electronics. In difficult mechanical and chemical conditions, dependable performance is guaranteed by its corrosion-resistant and impact-tolerant enclosure. With support for both vertical and horizontal mounting, the physical specifications—1.35 kg in weight and 164 x 244 x 74 mm in dimensions—allow for flexible installation in industrial panels with limited space. The PSX100's commitment to strict criteria for electromagnetic compatibility and operational safety is confirmed by regulatory compliance with European EMC and safety regulations (such as EN55032, EN55035, and EN62368-1), which strengthens its potential for deployment in demanding industrial automation systems.
