1200 W / 3000 W Multi-Range DC Power SuppliesFeatures & Benefits
Any 9115 Series model can replace several
supplies on your bench or in your rack. Unlike
conventional supplies with fixed output ratings,
these multi-range power supplies automatically
recalculate voltage and current limits for each
setting, providing full output power in any
Volt/Amp combination within the rated voltage
and current limits.
supporting SCPI commands. Alternatively, users
can control the power supply, execute test
sequences or log measurements using the
provided PC software application. This software
also integrates with Data Dashboard for
LabVIEW apps enabling iOS, Android or
Windows 8 compatible tablets or smart phones
to remotely monitor select measurement
indicators.
For benchtop applications, this series provides a
numerical keypad for direct data entry along with
convenient cursors and analog style knobs to
quickly make incremental voltage or current
changes. System integrators benefit from the
standard USB (USBTMC-compliant), RS-232,
The 9115-AT provides automotive power test
waveforms compliant to DIN 40839 and ISO
16750-2 standards that can simulate common
test conditions for electrical and electronic
devices installed in automobiles.
GPIB, RS-485, and LAN (9117 only) interfaces
Multi-Range Operation
The multi-ranging feature of the 9115 Series offers exceptional flexibility by providing any combination
of the rated voltage and current up to the maximum output power of the supply. These wide ranges of
voltage and current allow users to replace multiple supplies on a bench or system rack.

Test sequence execution in list mode
(models 9115, 9115-AT, and 9116 only)
The list mode feature lets users store, recall, and
run program sequences in the power supply’s
internal memory. A total of 10 steps can be
configured for each sequence (up to 10). These
sequences can then be saved into a program
configuration that can run one sequence after
another, which allows for a maximum of 100
steps in one program configuration.
Application software
rogrammable voltage rise/fall times
P
The power supply is capable of programming the
slope of the output voltage during changes
between voltage settings by allowing users to set
the rising and falling edge times of the voltage.
l
aster/Slave operation
M
More than one unit of the same power supply
model can be connected in parallel or series
connection to increase the overall current or
voltage output respectively. Using the RS-485
nterface, the power supplies can operate in
i
master/slave mode. In this mode, the master unit
can control all other power supplies connected
in parallel or series. Additionally, the RS-485
interface can be used for multi-unit control of
up to 31 daisy chained units.
External analog control interface
The power supply output voltage and current
can be controlled from zero to full range by
either external DC voltage sources (0-5 V or 0-
Parallel Configuration
10 V) or resistances (0-5 kΩ or 0-10 kΩ). The
DB25 analog control interface also provides a
source for monitoring the voltage and current
output.
Series Configuration
PC software is provided for front panel emulation, generating and executing test sequences or logging measurement data without the need to write source code.
Additionally, this application software integrates with NI Data Dashboard for LabVIEW apps which allows users to create a custom dashboard on a tablet computer
or smart phone to remotely monitor 9115 Series power supplies via this PC software.
• Remote monitoring on iOS, Android or Windows 8 compatible tablets or smart phones via NI Data Dashboard for LabVIEW apps. Quickly develop a custom
dashboard consisting of one (smart phone) or several (tablet) indicators, charts or gauges to monitor your power supply.
• Log voltage, current and power values as well as time stamp, CV/CC and output status.
• Save and load list files to/from the power supply’s internal memory.
• Create an unlimited number of external list files to be executed from PC memory. Save and recall list files to/from the PC.

Model 9115-AT Automotive Test Functions
In order to ensure electronic systems used in a vehicle are able to function
in an automotive environment, automotive component manufacturers test
electronic modules to industry standards. The 9115-AT provides built-in
simulations compliant to these automotive test standards to help automate
and speed up development time.
ISO 16750-2
his standard applies to electric and electronic systems/components
T
for vehicles. It describes the potential environmental conditions and
specifies tests and requirements recommended for the specific mounting
ocation on/in the vehicle. These test simulations include measurement
l
of discontinuities in supply voltage, voltage drops, tests applicable to
equipment with reset functions, and tests to insure modules do not
malfunction during an engine start routine with cranking.
Simulate the effect when a conventional fuse element
melts in another circuit.
DIN 40839 (ISO 7637)
This standard insures EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) in road vehicles by
injection of supply line transients. The 9115-AT can output a 12 V or 24 V
system voltage sequence, which simulates the behavior in supply voltage
reduction caused by an engine starter motor circuits (Fig. 1).
