Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the primary function of the MB CAP BUFFER MODULE 20/24 - 200ms?
Its primary function is to serve as a maintenance-free capacitive buffer module for 24V DC systems. It bridges short-term power grid fluctuations and outages, protecting sensitive industrial control systems from downtime, data loss, and hardware damage.
How long can this module sustain system power during an interruption?
Under a full 20A load, the module provides a buffer time of 200ms. If the load is lighter (for example, 1A), the buffer time can extend up to 4 seconds to cover longer outages.
Why is this buffer module considered "maintenance-free"?
Unlike traditional battery-backed backup modules, this module utilizes supercapacitor energy storage technology. Supercapacitors do not suffer from the chemical degradation associated with batteries, eliminating the need for periodic replacement and maintenance.
Can multiple buffer modules be connected in parallel?
Yes, this module supports parallel connection, allowing you to combine multiple units to expand your buffering capacity according to the requirements of your specific load.
What mounting configurations and wiring are required for installation?
The module is designed for standard TH35 mounting rails (EN 60715) and fits compactly into control cabinets. It utilizes pluggable screw terminals supporting live-wire operations with wire size capabilities up to 4mm² for the main circuit.
What built-in protection and diagnostic tools does the module have?
It features integrated overload and short-circuit protections. Diagnostics include a dual-color LED status indicator on the front panel and two sets of remote signaling contacts for continuous status monitoring.
