Powering 3rd party electronics inside IRC5 2004 cabinet (24VDC amps at XT31)

Hello,

I haven't found anything in the documentation for the IRC5 2004 controller about what power limitations are at the XT31 terminal. Later versions of the manual for newer hardware state:

2.3.6 Power supply
General
In combination with DeviceNetTM m/s single channel (option 709-1) and any
DeviceNetTM node (for example option 716-1), the customer power supply is
pre-wired in the following ways:
Single cabinet
• As standard 24 V I/O supplies the DeviceNetTM bus and is also available for
general usage on door terminals XT31. Available current 1.6 - 8 A

My controller is pretty basic and has one DSQC 652 IO option. I'd like to install some additional hardware, I've calculated I need just under 3 amps at 24VDC (Banner XS26 safety controller, light curtains etc). Can I safely use (with appropriate fusing) the 24VDC at XT31?

Thanks

Greg.

Well I found the right document for the 2004 variant and it looks like it has similar wording:

Power supply (for customer I/O)
In combination with DeviceNet m/s single channel (option 709-1) and any
DeviceNet node (for example option 716-1), the customer power supply is pre-wired
in the following ways:
Single cabinet
• As standard 24 V I/O supplies the DeviceNet bus and is also available for general
usage on door terminals XT31. Available current 2.8 - 8 A, see chapter 1.19.1
Introduction.
• Option 727-3. 4 A is available for general usage on door terminals X31 in addition to
and separated from above.
• Option 727-1. 2 x 4 A is available for general usage on door terminals XT31 in addition
to and separated from above. The two outputs are parallel connected at delivery.
• Option 728-1. The 4 ADeviceNet unit supplies the DeviceNet bus.

I assume this means I should be OK to power my additional devices from the XT31 terminal. Thanks!
