What the 24 VDC Rail Tolerance Means
The 6SL3040-0MA00-0AA1: The 24 VDC input is specified with a tolerance band of 20.4 V to 28.8 V — that is a -15% / +20% window around nominal. In a mill environment where the control supply bus can sag during a main-drive acceleration event, this tolerance buys you ride-through down to 20.4 V before the CU320 drops its DRIVE-CLiQ communications. The 0.8 A draw (without DRIVE-CLiQ or digital outputs loaded) is the baseline; add 0.15 A per connected DRIVE-CLiQ node as a rule of thumb for sizing the 24 VDC power supply.
