Description

The SIEMENS 6EP1961-3BA21 SITOP PSE202U Redundancy Module is a power supply redundancy solution designed to provide additional protection against failure of 24 V DC supply systems in critical industrial automation applications. 6EP1961-3BA21 serves as the optimal addition to all 24 V power supplies, decoupling two identical SITOP power supplies so that in the event of one power supply failure, the load continues to be supplied by the second power supply without interruption.

6EP1961-3BA21 is designed for decoupling two SITOP power supplies with a maximum of 20 A output current each, delivering a combined rated output current of 40 A at 24 V DC. The input voltage range of 6EP1961-3BA21 is 24 V to 28.8 V DC, with the output voltage following the formula Vin minus approximately 0.5 V. The output voltage of 6EP1961-3BA21 is not adjustable, providing a controlled, isolated DC voltage to the connected load.

The redundancy function of 6EP1961-3BA21 continuously monitors the feeding power supplies in real-time. When one of the two connected power supplies fails, 6EP1961-3BA21 automatically switches the complete load to the remaining healthy power supply. This automatic takeover of 6EP1961-3BA21 ensures continuous operation of critical control systems, PLCs, HMI devices, and field instrumentation that cannot tolerate power interruptions.

Features:

  • Continuous Power Supply Monitoring
  • Adjustable Switching Threshold (20–25 V)
  • Visual and Relay Contact Signaling
The Siemens 6EP1961-3BA21 is a SITOP PSE202U redundancy module to provide passive decoupling and voltage monitoring for two independent 24 V DC SITOP power supplies in industrial control systems. It is the intelligent interconnect layer between dual power supplies and a common critical load, ensuring continuous 24 V DC power delivery even if one supply fails.

The module accepts two 24 V DC inputs (24–28.8 V DC range) from independent SITOP power supplies, each rated at maximum 20 A output current. It electrically separates the two supplies through passive decoupling so that neither can backfeed into the other, while allowing both to simultaneously deliver current to a common output bus. The aggregate output current is 40 A maximum at 24 V DC nominal (output voltage follows input minus approximately 0.5 V drop).

The 6EP1961-3BA21 Siemens SITOP PSE202U redundancy module may still be available for purchase and support from Amikon Limited beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

6EP1961-3BA21 features comprehensive status indication and signaling capabilities. A green LED on 6EP1961-3BA21 lights up when both input voltages exceed the configured switching threshold, indicating normal redundant operation. A red LED on 6EP1961-3BA21 illuminates when at least one input voltage falls below the switching threshold, alerting operators to a power supply fault condition. Additionally, 6EP1961-3BA21 provides an isolated floating relay contact (changeover contact) rated at 8 A/240 V AC or 24 V DC, which signals OK status when both input voltages are above the threshold. This relay contact of 6EP1961-3BA21 can be evaluated by a control system, PC, or higher-level monitoring system for remote fault notification.
 
The switching threshold of 6EP1961-3BA21 is adjustable via a potentiometer located on the front of the device, with a setting range from 20 V to 25 V. When delivered from the factory, 6EP1961-3BA21 is preset to 20 V. Only an insulated screwdriver should be used when adjusting the potentiometer of 6EP1961-3BA21. This adjustable threshold allows engineers to customize the voltage monitoring sensitivity based on specific application requirements and power supply characteristics.

The module gives you immediate visual indicators and physical relay switching to determine power health.
Green LED On: Normal operation. Both input voltages are safely above the configured switching threshold.
Red LED On: Fault status. At least one input voltage has dropped below your set threshold level.
Relay Contact: The floating relay contact shifts state to signal an "OK" status only if both input lines are above the threshold

FAQs

  • What is the 6EP1961-3BA21?

    +
    The Siemens SITOP PSE202U (6EP1961-3BA21) is a 24 V DC redundancy module used to decouple two SITOP power supplies.
  • What is the primary function of this module?

    +
    It is designed to decouple two identical 24 V power supplies (up to 20 A each) to create a highly reliable, redundant power system. If one power supply experiences a short-circuit or fails, the module isolates it so the system stays powered.
