Description
1. Product Description
The TOSHIBA PS361 is a high-reliability power supply module designed for industrial automation systems, specifically optimized for TOSHIBA’s PROSEC T3 PLC platform. As a core component of the PROSEC T3 ecosystem, the PS361 delivers stable 24V DC power to PLC modules, ensuring continuous operation in demanding industrial environments. Its compact design and DIN-rail mounting make it ideal for space-constrained setups, while industrial-grade components support operation in temperatures ranging from -20°C to 60°C. The PS361 is widely used in manufacturing, energy, and water treatment sectors, providing redundant power backup and surge protection for critical control systems. Compatible with modules like the PU326H (analog input) and DI335H (digital input), the PS361 ensures seamless integration into scalable automation networks.

3. Advantages and Features
- Industrial-Grade Reliability: Robust construction for high vibration and extreme temperature environments.
- Ecosystem Compatibility: Native support for TOSHIBA PROSEC T3 systems, reducing integration complexity.
- Warranty Coverage: Up to 12 months of warranty (vs. 90 days typical for some alternatives).
- Stable Power Delivery: Voltage regulation and surge protection ensure consistent power to PLC modules.
- Compact Design: Space-efficient DIN-rail mounting suitable for modular control panels.
4. Application Fields and Cases
- Industries: Manufacturing (assembly lines), energy (power plants), utilities (water treatment), and machinery control.
- Use Case Example:
A power plant integrated the TOSHIBA PS361 into its PROSEC T3 system to supply redundant power to 20+ PLC modules in a boiler control unit. The module’s surge protection and stable voltage output reduced unplanned downtime by 25%, ensuring continuous operation in a high-temperature environment.
5. Competitor Comparison
Compared to similar PLC power supplies:
- Ecosystem Alignment: Native compatibility with TOSHIBA’s PROSEC T3 system (no third-party adapters required).
- Warranty Flexibility: Longer standard warranty (12 months vs. 6–9 months for 竞品).
- Temperature Range: Extended operating temperature (-20°C to 60°C) vs. typical 0°C to 50°C limits in some alternatives.

6. Selection Recommendations
- Compatibility: Verify alignment with TOSHIBA PROSEC T3 or compatible PLC systems.
- Environment: Ensure temperature/vibration ratings match site conditions (e.g., harsh industrial settings).
- Budget: Consider new (factory-sealed) or refurbished options (e.g., tested units with 90-day warranties).
- Redundancy: Pair with redundant PS361 modules for critical systems to prevent power failures.
7. Precautions
-
Installation: Follow DIN-rail mounting guidelines; ensure proper grounding to prevent EMI interference.
-
Voltage Check: Verify input voltage matches the module’s rating (24V DC) before connection.
-
Maintenance: Inspect connectors annually for corrosion; replace if signs of wear appear.
-
Surge Protection: Use external surge protectors in lightning-prone areas to extend module lifespan.
