Use the following steps as guidelines for selecting a power supply for a
chassis that contains a PLC-5 processor, a 1771-AS or -ASB remote I/O
adapter module, or a 1771-ALX extended-local I/O adapter module.
1. Determine the input voltage for the power supply.
2. Calculate the total backplane current draw for I/O modules by
adding together the backplane current draw for each I/O module in
that chassis.
