Programmable DC Power Supplies

XLN Series

New Family of High Density System Power Supplies

The B&K Precision XLN series are programmable,
single-output DC power supplies, that provide
clean power up to 1560 watts in a compact 1U
rackmountable package. Comparable supplies
from other manufacturers primarily address the
ATE market only, while the XLN series is designed
for both benchtop users and system integrators.

For benchtop applications, these power supplies
offer built-in voltage and current meters
displaying setting and output values concurrently,
as well as an intuitive user interface with full
keypad and rotary knob.

XLN Models

Standard USB, RS485, and optional GPIB and
LAN interfaces combined with fast average
command processing times of less than 50 ms
make the XLN series ideal for ATE applications.
Free application software and a complete set of
LabVIEW™ drivers are available to provide
remote control capabilities, reduce programming
time, and increase productivity.

When greater output power is required, up to
four XLN models can be connected in series
(high current models only) or parallel and
synchronized with the RS485 interface.
Alternatively, the RS485 interface can be used
to daisy chain up to 30 units and to remotely
control them from one master PC via USB, GPIB,
or LAN interface.

These power supplies are perfectly suited for
ATE systems integration, product design and
development, product QC and burn-in testing,
and other applications requiring excellent
regulation, high power, low noise, and a wide
range of voltage and current ratings.

The numeric keys and rotary knob provide a convenient interface for setting output levels quickly and precisely. Both measured output values and setting values are
concurrently displayed on the screen. Additionally, the power supplies provide internal memory for storage of up to 10 different instrument settings that can be set
and recalled via both the front panel and remote interfaces.
