Irinos Measurement System
The power consumption of the Irinos-System depends on the number of Irinos-Boxes and the loads connected. Loads are for example probes or sensors.
The following table helps estimating the total power consumption. Please note that all values are guidelines. The actual power consumption may differ. Detailed information regarding the power consumption can be found in the respective datasheets.
Irinos-Box |

Suggested value for estimating the power consumption with external loads |
|---|---|---|

4 W |
5 W |

3W (Without I/O supply) |
The power consumption of the Irinos-Boxes is constant. Critical factors for the calculation of the total power consumption are:
oExternal sensors / loads, which are connected to the 24V supply outputs of the Irinos-Boxes IR-MASTER, IR-AIN or IR-DIO.
oExternal actuators / loads, which are connected to the digital outputs of the Irinos-Box IR-MASTER or IR-DIO.
For most applications the additional power consumption for external loads is in the range of a few watts. Special care must be taken regarding loads switched via digital outputs, e.g. valves or lamps.
It is suggested to measure the actual power consumption after setup of the Irinos-System to ensure that there is enough margin.
