External Fusing Change for 24vdc Momentum I/O Modules

Issue
The purpose of this Resolution is to inform users of 24vdc Momentum I/O Bases that the fusing requirement has changed.

Using a 315ma fast blow fuse on a redesigned 24vdc Momentum base may cause the fuse to blow when powered up. Since the 24vdc Momentum I/O bases have been redesigned to meet the new EMC and power hold-up requirements, it was necessary to increase the size of the external fusing.

The external fusing is indicated in the User Manuals as follows. It does not affect the recommended fusing for the I/O power.

Environment


Resolution
The recommended size of the external fuse for all Momentum I/O modules that are powered by 24 VDC, has changed from a 315ma Fast Blow fuse to a 1Amp Slow Blow fuse (Bussmann GDC-1A or equivalent).

The 1A Slow Blow fuse can be used on both new and old versions of 24vdc powered Momentum I/O bases listed below.
