⚡ Power Budget Calculator
How to Size Your Power Supply
Calculate total current consumption of all modules in your rack:
| Module Type | Typical 5V Current | Typical 24V Current |
|---|---|---|
| CPU 412-5H | 1.5A | 0.1A |
| CPU 414-3 | 1.8A | 0.1A |
| CPU 416-3 | 2.0A | 0.15A |
| Digital I/O (SM 421/422) | 0.3A | 0.05A |
| Analog I/O (SM 431/432) | 0.5A | 0.1A |
| Communication (CP 443) | 0.8A | 0.1A |
| Interface Module (IM 460) | 0.4A | 0.05A |
Example Configuration:
- 1× CPU 414-3: 1.8A @ 5V
- 8× Digital I/O: 8 × 0.3A = 2.4A @ 5V
- 4× Analog I/O: 4 × 0.5A = 2.0A @ 5V
- 2× CP 443: 2 × 0.8A = 1.6A @ 5V
- Total: 7.8A @ 5V (39% of 20A capacity - ✅ Safe margin)
💡 Rule of Thumb: Keep total consumption below 80% of rated capacity (16A for this PS 407 20A) to ensure reliability and allow for future expansion.

❓ FAQ
Q: Can I use this PS with S7-300 systems?
A: No, this is exclusively for S7-400. S7-300 uses PS 307 series power supplies.
Q: What's the difference between 6ES7407-0KR02-0AA0 and 6ES7407-0KR02-0AA1?
A: The AA1 version is the updated model with improved efficiency and extended MTBF. Functionally identical.
Q: Can I hot-swap this power supply?
A: Yes, in redundant configurations with two PS modules. Never hot-swap a single power supply.
Q: Do I need a 20A PS for a small system with 6 modules?
A: No, PS 407 5A or 10A is sufficient. Choose 20A if you plan to expand or want maximum headroom.
Q: Can I use 120V AC input in a 230V region?
A: Yes, the PS auto-senses input voltage (120-230V AC). No manual switching required.
