ifm electronic has released its own
switched-mode power supplies that
are designed to offer both value and
performance and come in two
designs: BasicLine in a compact
plastic housing and
ClassicLine in a
robust metal
housing. Both
require only a small
space on the DIN rail.

After power-on,
the power supplies
start, even without minimum load,
and are short-circuit proof and
overload protected. Two LEDs and a
DCok output signal the operating
states.With a wide input voltage
range and cULus approval, they can
be used worldwide. In addition to the
long mains buffering time of 400ms,
the ClasicLine has intelligent power
reserve: at a 1.5-fold nominal load,
the power supplies are said to be able
to provide extra current for 5s and
for longer in the case of lower
overload.
