Product Introduction
When power distribution falters in a Modicon system, the Schneider TM5SPS3 power distribution module delivers consistent 24V DC supply to interconnected I/O modules and CANopen or Sercos III buses. This compact unit sits at the heart of your automation architecture, providing the stable power foundation essential for uninterrupted operation.
Technical Specifications Breakdown
The Schneider TM5SPS3 module is designed for efficiency and protection. Key parameters include a rated supply voltage of 24V DC, with a maximum power dissipation of only 1.91W. It supplies 750mA to the TM5 power bus at -10…55°C and 500mA at 55…60°C, plus a full 10A for the I/O power segment. Short-circuit protection is handled by a 10A external fuse, while current consumption remains ≤25mA at 24V DC.

Compatibility & Integration
The TM5SPS3 integrates seamlessly with the Modicon TM5 platform, supporting CANopen and Sercos III communication buses. It is compatible with Modicon LMC078, LMC058, and M258 logic and motion controllers. This module also works with standard I/O modules, making it a universal power distribution node for your Modicon cabinet.
Installation & Setup Guidance
Mount the TM5SPS3 on a DIN rail in a horizontal orientation for optimal cooling. In horizontal installations, ambient temperature can range from -10 to 55°C without derating; from 55 to 60°C, apply a derating factor. For vertical installations, use derating above 50°C. Ensure an external 10A fuse is connected for short-circuit protection. Store the module between -40 and 70°C with relative humidity between 5% and 95% (non-condensing).
Troubleshooting & Common Issues
Power distribution failures often stem from overcurrent, high ambient temperature, or improper fusing. The TM5SPS3’s built-in protection relies on an external fuse—always use the specified 10A rating. Monitor ambient temperatures: the module derates above 55°C. Check for condensation if relative humidity exceeds 95%. If the module operates in a vertical orientation, reduce current draw accordingly. For EMC issues, follow EN/IEC 61000-4-2/3/4/5 guidelines to ensure immunity.
Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
Before purchasing, verify that your system uses Modicon TM5 components and requires a 24V DC power distribution module for CANopen or Sercos III. The TM5SPS3 is a genuine Schneider part, ensuring full compatibility and reliability. For additional specifications or to confirm your application, contact UBEST Automation.
