Overview
1.1 Product Overview and Features
The SM7860 series Power Source Unit is a power source designed for use with the SM7420 Super
Megohm Meter and SM7810‑20 Super MΩ HiTester. When used in conjunction with the SM7420 or
SM7810‑20, the SM7860 serves as an ideal power source for automatic testing and measurement of
capacitors.
Positive- and negative-polarity output / Multi-channel output
• The device supports multichannel systems with up to 32 channels.
• The output voltage can be set separately for two circuits, each consisting of 8 or 16 channels.
• The device provides both positive‑ and negative‑polarity power sources.
• It can be used to create an optimal testing line with the minimum necessary number of power sources.
Independent on/off output switching and current limitations for all channels
• Since each channel has its own output on/off switch, it is possible to control voltage application
without an external circuit (allowing charging and discharging).
• Use of semiconductor switches eliminates the need for maintenance.
• Ability to limit current for individual channels means the measurement of other channels won’t be
affected when a target workpiece has a short.
Variable output current limit value
• 500 V output model: The output current limit can be set as desired from 2 mA per channel to 50 mA
per channel.
• 1000 V output model: The output current limit can be set as desired from 2 mA per channel to 10 mA
per channel.
1000 V output voltage model
• The line includes a model that can generate output of up to ±1000 V.
High-current output at 50 mA/channel*
• The device can quickly charge high‑capacity MLCC (multi‑layer ceramic capacitor). Number of
charges can be reduced.
* For the 1000 V model, limited to 10 mA/channel.
Standard interfaces
• Devices ship standard with EXT. I/O, GP‑IB, and RS‑232C interfaces for sequencing. Interfaces are
used to congure and power the device.
Interlock function
• Since the device outputs measurement and charging voltages when measurement starts, erroneous
operation poses the risk of electric shock. An interlock function is used to ensure safe measurement.
Settings can be congured by sending signals via the device’s external I/O interface.

If the communications cable is connected while such a potential difference exists, it
may result in equipment malfunction or failure.
• Before connecting or disconnecting any communications cable, always turn off the
device and the PC. Failure to do so could result in equipment malfunction or damage.
• After connecting the communications cable, tighten the screws on the connector securely.
Failure to secure the connector could result in equipment malfunction or damage.
CAUTION
To avoid damage to the device, do not short-circuit the terminal and do not input voltage to the
terminal.
Using the GP-IB Interface
Connect the GP-IB cable to the GP-IB connector.
Recommended cable: Model 9151-02 GP-IB Connector Cable (2 m)

Separators
1. Message Unit Separator
Multiple message can be written in one line by separating them with semicolons “ ; ”.
2. Header Separator
In a message consisting of both a header and data, the header is separated from the data by a space (ASCII
code 20H).
3. Data Separator
In a message containing multiple data items, commas “,” are required to separate the data items from one
another.
Data Formats
Query messages use the formats outlined in the table below. The format is selected according to the command.
: RS-232C reads the status bytes to nd out the status of the device.
: The device adopts the IEEE488.1-1987 dened status model for parts related to the serial
polling performed by the service request function. A trigger for generating a service request is
called an event.

Service Request Enable Register
(SRER)
The Status Byte Register contains information about the event registers and the output queue. Required
items are selected from this information by masking with the Service Request Enable Register. When any
bit selected by the mask is set, bit 6 (MSS; the Master Summary Status) of the Status Byte Register is
also set, which generates an SRQ (Service Request) message and dispatches a service request.
For RS-232C, bit 4 (MAV message available) of the status byte register is not set.

Communication Method
Status Byte Register (STB)
A status byte register is an 8-bit register output from the unit to the controller during serial polling. If even
one of the status byte register bits enabled by the service request enable register changes from “0” to
“1” the MSS bit becomes 1. At the same time, the RQS bit also becomes “1” and a service request is
generated.
The RQS bit is always synchronized with the service request and only read and simultaneously cleared
upon being serial polled. The MSS bit is only read by an “

3.7 Listener Specication Precautions
Input buffer size
Multiple command messages can be transferred at once by joining them with message separators. Since
the device provides an 128-byte input buffer, the device is unable to receive message strings in excess
of 127 characters in length. In this case, the entire command will be ignored (discarded), and the Error
Register’s MLE (Message Length Error) bit will be set.
Reading from the output buffer
The output buffer uses a FIFO design, with older data being read rst. Consequently, the read value may
differ from the expected value under certain circumstances, for example if no response is acquired after
issuing a query. Additionally, the output buffer is 511 bytes in size. If data in excess of 511 bytes is written
to the buffer, it will be discarded, and the Error Register’s QYE (Query Error) bit will be set.

This chapter describes how to use the EXT I/O connector on the rear of the device to control the device.
External Control
4.1 EXT I/O Connector and Signals
WARNING
To prevent an electric shock or damage to the equipment, always observe the
following precautions when connecting the cables to EXT I/O connector:
• Always turn off the device and any devices to be connected before making
connections.
• During operation, a wire becoming dislocated and contacting another conductive
object can be serious hazard. Use bail locks to secure the EXT I/O connector.
• Ensure that devices and systems to be connected to the EXT I/O connector are
properly isolated from one another.
CAUTION
To avoid damage to the device, observe the following cautions:
• Do not apply voltage or current to the EXT I/O connector that exceeds their ratings.
• When driving relays, be sure to install diodes to absorb counter-electromotive force.

Graph description and operating precautions
Since the SM7860 is designed to be embedded in an automated system in applications in which it
charges capacitors, it cannot be used with a continuous load.
Figures 1 and 2 dene the minimum cycle times at which this automated system can operate based on
the output voltage and capacitor capacitance.
For example, when charging a 25 V, 30 μF capacitor, a charge interval of approximately 37 ms can be
read from the point at which a line extending from the 30 μF position on the vertical axis intersects the
25 V line. This gure (37 ms) denes the minimum cycle for the automated system.
The time (T) representing the interval during the 37 ms for which the SM7860 charges the capacitor at the
full power of 50 mA or 10 mA can be calculated as follows:
T = C × V / I
C : Capacitor capacitance (μF)
V : Voltage (V)
I : Current (50 mA)
Using values of 25 V, 30 μF, and 50 mA yields:
T = 30 μF × 25 V / 50 mA
= 15 ms
50
The following diagram expresses this as a timing chart:

Basic Specications

MovementMovement
Charging current
Almost no current during this interval
During the 37 ms interval, the charging current ows for 15 ms, and almost no current ows for the
remaining 22 ms. If, for example, the automated system’s cycle time were 100 ms instead of 37 ms, the
charging current would ow for 15 ms, and almost no current would ow for the remaining 85 ms. This
operation describes the normal manner in which the SM7860 is used.
Using the device when there are shorted components:
If the capacitor being charged were shorted, for example due to defective insulation, the charging current
would ow for the entire contact interval, rather than just 15 ms. If the test run is expected to include
shorted components, check each component before initiating testing and avoid applying current if shorted.
• Design the system so that each of the 32 external input (EXT I/O) signals, from OUT1 (1)_ON to OUT4
(8)_ON, can be controlled (turned on and off) independently.
• When outputting voltage from the SM7860, check each capacitor for a short before initiating testing.
(Have the automated system store the results of checks performed before testing, for example using
capacitance measurement.)
• When a shorted component is encountered, turn the OUTX (X)_ON signal for the shorted component’s channel off before turning the external input (EXT I/O) signal’s OUTPUT signal on.
Using the device when capacitors are not mounted by the automated system:
When capacitors are not properly mounted from the automated system’s part feeder, the architecture of
the system may cause the SM7860’s output to enter the shorted state. This issue can be addressed in the
same manner as described in “Using the device when there are shorted components” above.
