The internal power consumption of systems with PCD3 components can be calculated with PG5 Device Configurator
EPLAN product macros, DWG and DXF files can be found here (the dimensions of the PCD3.Mxx60 are identical to the PCD3.Mxx40)
For printing on the Labeling-Strips for PCD3-Modules please use the Device Configurator from PG5 2.0.

Good to know

To use PCD3.M3160, PCD3.M3360 or PCD3.M5360, PG5 2.2.130 or newer is required.
To use PCD3.M5560, PG5 2.0.200 (SP2) or newer is required.
No more possible to set the PCD3.Mxx60 in to the firmware download mode with the help of the run/stop switch (since booter version 1.24.11)
See FAQ 101948
The differences between firmware version 1.16.42 and 1.16.69 are listed in FAQ 101624.
For configuring a PCD3.Mxx60 PG5 2.0.200 (SP2) is required.
Application programs are stored in the onboard flash. For this reason, the new CPU differs in its behaviour regarding program download, backup and restore requirements from existing PCD3 CPUs.
The CPU can remain in run during the download process, but always restarts before deploying the new program (download changed blocks in run is not yet possible).
