Yokogawa PS13*B FA-M3 Power Supply Module
The Yokogawa PS13*B, also cataloged as the PS13 Power Supply Module, operates as a dedicated hardware component for converting line-level AC power into regulated 5 VDC backplane power within Yokogawa FA-M3 PLC base units.
Hardware Specifications

Channel Isolation and Loop Power Conditioning
The PS13*B incorporates primary-to-secondary high-frequency transformer isolation to decouple incoming AC utility lines from downstream processor and I/O module microprocessors. Integrated line filter networks eliminate high-frequency voltage spikes and transient line noise before DC conversion occurs. This internal power conditioning architecture prevents common-mode noise transfer to the backplane communication bus, maintaining clean power rails across interconnected modules and preserving signal stability for analog I/O loops and cold junction compensation (CJC) circuits connected to the PLC rack.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the main voltage output provided by the PS13*B for FA-M3 expansion racks?
A: The module regulates AC line power down to a stable 5 VDC rail delivering up to 3 A of current directly to the FA-M3 backplane bus.
Q: Can the PS13*B be hot-swapped while the PLC system is under load?
A: No, primary AC power to the module terminal block must be de-energized prior to removing or installing the power supply module from the base rack to prevent electrical arcing and backplane bus damage.
Field Installation Guidelines
- Mount the power supply module into the leftmost dedicated slot of the FA-M3 base unit until the latch engages with a positive click.
- Ensure primary AC supply lines are de-energized before connecting wiring to the input screw terminals.
- Terminate the protective earth wire directly to the module ground terminal using a crimped ring terminal to ensure continuous chassis grounding.
- Maintain a minimum vertical clearance of 50 mm above and below the module housing to enable unhindered natural convection cooling.
- Apply AC power and verify that the front panel power LED illuminates steadily before enabling downstream CPU execution.
