design the load power supply units that the unit can supply the current
required for shutting down in the event of a short-circuit at one output.
In the event of short-circuits at digital outputs, if the load power supply is not
adequately rated, a current which is higher than the rated current can flow for
a longer period without responding of the electronic short-circuit protection
of the DQ module. Operation in the overload region can destroy the module.

If you use switched-mode power supply units for floating analog modules
and BEROs, you must fit an AC system filter to the input of the power
supply.

Connecting the Programmable Controller and Load Power

Each of the following figures shows a circuit example for connecting the
control and load power supplies as well as the grounding concept for
operation from:
When assembling the control system, observe the following explanations.

For the programmable controller, sensors and actuators, you must fit a
main switch to DIN VDE 0113, Part 1, or an isolating device to DIN
VDE 0100, Part 460. If an AC plug is used as the isolating device, the
socket must be in the vicinity of the central controller and must be easily
accessible (VDE 0805, 1.7.2). These devices are not required in the case
of a subsystem where the appropriate devices are fitted at a higher level.
The circuits for sensors and actuators can be given group protection for
short-circuit and/or overload
single-phase protection is required; and all-phase protection to DIN VDE
0113, Part 1.
