Power Redundancy Options
There are three power configurations that offer various levels of power redundancy: N+1, 2N, and 2N+1.
Config. | AC Power | DC Power | Feature Support |
---|---|---|---|
N+1 |
No redundancy One PDU per Base or Drive Module |
Provides one extra drive DC supply and one extra robotics DC supply |
Limited support for T10000 drives and no redundant robotics support |
2N |
Redundant Two PDUs per Base or Drive Module |
Provides a set of DC power supplies for each PDU |
Required for redundant robotics and redundant electronics support Full support for T10000 drives. |
2N+1 |
Redundant Two PDUs per Base or Drive Module |
Provides additional power supplies for each PDU, meaning N+1 DC power redundancy for each PDU (except the second PDU only has N DC power supply redundancy for the robot) |
Supports redundant robotics and redundant electronics Full support for T10000 drives. |
