Description
Key Technical & Structural Features
- Stable Power Output Performance: The module is designed with a targeted output specification, providing a fixed 24V DC output and an output power of 150W, which can fully meet the power demand of industrial controller chassis and matching functional modules such as the ICS Triplex T8100 controller chassis. At the same time, its energy efficiency reaches 90%, which not only reduces industrial energy consumption but also reduces heat generation during operation, laying a foundation for long-term stable operation.
- Strong Environmental Adaptability: It has excellent environmental tolerance. Its operating temperature range covers -20°C to +70°C, and some sources indicate that it can even work normally in the range of -40°C to +85°C. This enables it to adapt to the extreme temperature environments of outdoor industrial sites and closed equipment cabins. In addition, it can operate stably in an environment with 10%-90% humidity, which is suitable for the high-humidity working conditions of chemical plants and coastal oil and gas platforms.
- Safety & Standard Compliance: It complies with important safety standards such as IEC 61508 and SIL 3. These certifications ensure that the module can maintain stable power supply in safety instrumented systems. Even if there are slight faults in the surrounding circuits, it will not cause power supply interruptions that affect critical processes, which is crucial for avoiding safety accidents in industrial production.
- Compact & Modular Design: With dimensions of 100×60×30mm and a weight of only 0.5kg, the module adopts a compact structure. This modular design allows it to be easily installed in various industrial control cabinets and chassis, saving installation space. It also facilitates later expansion and replacement, and can be flexibly combined with other ICS Triplex modules to form a complete control system.
ICS Triplex PS01-B
Field Application & Problem Solved
In industrial scenarios such as oil and gas extraction, chemical reaction processes, and thermal power generation, the stable operation of controller chassis and safety instrumented systems (SIS) is related to production safety and continuity. Ordinary power supply modules often have problems such as unstable output under voltage fluctuations and poor adaptability to harsh environments, which may lead to equipment downtime or even safety accidents.
The PS01-B solves these pain points well. For example, in an oil refinery, it can provide continuous 24V DC power for the trusted safety control system of the distillation unit. Even when the on-site grid voltage fluctuates between 300 – 528V AC, it can still output stable voltage to ensure that the system accurately monitors the temperature and pressure of the distillation tower. In chemical plants, its compliance with SIL 3 standards ensures that the power supply will not be interrupted due to single-point faults during the chemical reaction process, avoiding dangerous situations such as material leakage caused by equipment shutdown. In addition, it can also provide reliable power for the controller chassis in distributed control systems (DCS), realizing the unified and stable operation of multiple industrial processes.
Installation & Maintenance Pitfalls (Expert Tips)
- Ignoring Input Voltage Matching: The module’s input voltage range is 300 – 528V AC. If it is mistakenly connected to a low-voltage AC power supply such as 220V without a voltage conversion device, the module will fail to output power normally; and excessive input voltage will directly burn out internal components. Before installation, it is necessary to confirm the on-site power supply parameters and configure a matching voltage regulator if necessary.
- Neglecting Heat Dissipation in Compact Installation: Although the module has high energy efficiency, it will still generate heat during long-term high-power operation. If multiple modules are installed too densely in the control cabinet and there is no good ventilation, the accumulated heat will affect the stability of the output voltage. It is recommended to reserve a certain gap between the module and other components during installation, and ensure that the control cabinet is equipped with a heat dissipation fan.
- Improper Wiring Leading to Poor Contact: The module is responsible for powering critical control chassis. If the wiring terminals are loose during installation or the wires are not firmly crimped, it will cause intermittent power supply. It is necessary to use professional crimping tools to fix the wires, and after wiring, manually pull the wires to check the firmness, and use insulation tape to wrap the joints to prevent short circuits.
- Skipping Regular Output Detection: As the module is used for a long time, internal components will age, which may lead to reduced efficiency or unstable output voltage. It is recommended to use a multimeter to regularly detect the output voltage. Once the voltage deviates from the 24V DC rated value or the efficiency drops significantly, the module should be replaced in time. At the same time, since it is a key component of safety-critical systems, it is necessary to prepare spare modules to shorten downtime.

Product Positioning & Advantages
As a dedicated power supply module for industrial critical systems, the PS01-B has obvious advantages compared with ordinary industrial power supplies. Its biggest highlight is the balance between safety compliance and environmental adaptability. It not only meets the strict requirements of SIL 3 and other safety standards, but also can work stably in harsh environments with large temperature changes and high humidity.
In addition, its high efficiency and compact design are also in line with the development needs of modern industrial control systems. While reducing energy consumption, it saves space for the control cabinet, which is convenient for the integration and expansion of the whole system. For industries such as oil and gas and chemical industry that have high requirements for production safety and continuity, this module is an important power guarantee component that cannot be easily replaced.
