Process Control Power Supplies Overview

At Emerson Network Power - Embedded Power, our engineers have been designing and developing power supply products for the process control market for over 35 years. Our products have helped pave the way for advancements in a wide variety of process control applications, including industrial computers, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), distributed control systems (DCS) and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems.

Key attributes of power supplies for process control applications are a wide operating temperature range, high efficiency and reliability, small form factors and remote on/off facilities, DIN rail mounting, in some applications ruggedized design.

Opportunities
  • The global market for process control systems was worth approximately $184 billion in 2008.
  • There are five major players in this market – one of which is Emerson.
  • The process control market is expected to return to growth in 2010 and is predicted to then grow at 11% per annum for the next 5 years.

Why Emerson Network Power - Embedded Power?
Worldwide, there are several process control power supply manufacturers to choose from, many of which produce good products. One of the leading companies is Emerson Network Power - Embedded Power, which is responsible for the well-known Astec and Artesyn brands. Together, these two product brands encompass literally thousands of AC-DC power supplies and DC-DC converters. Emerson offers a large variety of standard, modified and custom AC-DC power supplies covering a 2 to 4,920 watt power band, together with an extensive range of DC-DC converters covering a 3 to 700 watt power band, to most of the world's most leading manufacturers of process control equipment.

AC-DC Power Supplies
10- to 500-watt Low to Medium Power AC-DC Power Supplies
These power supplies are ideally suited to a wide variety of applications in communications, computing, storage, business systems, test, instrumentation and industrial equipment.
  • Low to medium power supplies extend from 25 to 500 watts
  • Many of the models above 60 watts offer harmonic current correction
  • Choice of single or multiple wide-range isolated outputs
DIN Rail Mount AC-DC Power Supplies
Most of the low to medium power modules are capable of operating from standard single-phase 115- or 230-volt AC mains supplies, with auto-selection of the appropriate voltage. The medium power modules offer a choice of single-phase or three-phase inputs, while the highest power modules are designed solely for three-phase supplies.
  • DIN rail mount AC-DC power supplies extends from 60 to 960 watts
  • Designed for an industrial environment with no derating up to 60˚
  • Modules offer a choice of single-phase or three-phase inputs
External AC-DC Power Supply Adapters
Emerson's range of external freestanding power adapters are available for class I or class II applications. Note that the AC input cables themselves are not provided. All the power adapters feature extensive safety approvals.
  • Adapters extend from 3 to 100 watts
  • Features wide-range AC inputs and comprehensive overload protection
  • Available with a 2- or 3-pin AC input receptacle
Configurable Power Supplies - Medium to High Power AC-DC Power Supplies
These include individual power modules that enable customers to configure bulk power systems. At the same time they are renowned for their outstanding performance, reliability and cost-effective.
  • Output ratings of up to 3,000 watts
  • Bulk power systems with up to 18 kilowatts output capability
  • Medical versions available with extensive built-in intelligence
DC-DC Converters
FPGA Power Solutions
Design engineers are attracted to FPGA Modules because of their programming flexibility. They allow you to easily change your product as end user needs change. Does it make any sense to then power your FPGA modules with inflexible analog power supplies? Altera, Xilinx and other FPGA manufacturers responded NO - it is better to incorporate flexibility throughout your FPGA design to respond quickly to changes in the future.
Industry Standard Isolated
Emerson Network Power's portfolio of Industry-Standard Isolated DC-DC Converters covers sixteenth- to full-brick form factors and power ratings from 3 watts to 700 watts.
Low Power Isolated Industrial
Emerson Network Power offers an extensive range of Low Power DC-DC Converters for general-purpose industrial applications. Covering power outputs from 3 watts to 30 watts,
Non-Isolated
Emerson Network Power's portfolio of Non-Isolated DC-DC Converters is one of the most extensive in the industry. It includes five application-optimized product families, together with a series of specialized memory power and voltage regulator modules (VRMs) for processors, spanning an output current range of 3 to 105 A.
Ultra Low Profile
Emerson Network Power's extensive range of DC-DC converters includes a number of high-efficiency ultra low profile models for applications where above-board height is severely restricted.
