Product Overview
The Yokogawa F3PU20-0S is a high-capacity AC Power Supply Module for the FA-M3 PLC system. It converts wide-range AC input (100–240 V) into a stable 5 V DC backplane supply, providing reliable power for CPU, I/O modules, and communication modules in larger FA-M3 configurations.
The “S” version represents a mechanically revised model of the F3PU20 series, designed for improved installation compatibility while maintaining the same electrical performance as the -0N variant.

Function and Working Principle
The F3PU20-0S serves as the primary power conversion unit for FA-M3 PLC systems with higher load requirements.
Working Principle
- AC mains power (100–240 V) is supplied to the module
- Internal rectifier converts AC → DC
- Switching regulator stabilizes output at 5 V DC
- Stable power is distributed through the FA-M3 backplane
- All connected modules receive regulated and protected power
AC (100–240V)→Rectification→Switching Regulation→5V DC (4.3A Output)AC\,(100–240V) \rightarrow Rectification \rightarrow Switching\,Regulation \rightarrow 5V\,DC\,(4.3A\,Output)AC(100–240V)→Rectification→SwitchingRegulation→5VDC(4.3AOutput)
