KLN Series power supplies are voltage and current stabilized d-c sources with a sharp crossover between the constant voltage and constant current mode of operation. Thirty-nine models are offered, 13 in each power grou ping, with rated d- c output voltage ranging from 6V to 600V and rated d-c output current ranging from 1.25A to 400A (see Table 1-1).

KLN switching power supplies operate from wide range 100-240V a-c (190-240V a-c for 3000W), 50/60 Hz input source power and employ active power factor correction (PFC). Since there are no internal adjustments, KLN Power Supplies offer excellent output voltage/current stability and easy calibration.

Output voltage and current are displayed on independent LED displays. Control of the KLN can be either local, via the front panel controls and displays, or remote, using 1) either analog signals (applied to the Programming Control Port), or 2) digital programming. Digital programming of standard models is via RS-485 communication bus. Optional IEEE 488.2 (GPIB) and LAN interfaces are also available.

SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION

KLN output and readback are high resolution: 16 bits D/A to set output voltage and current, 24 bits A/D for readback of output voltage and current. These units feature a low temperature coefficient: Constant Voltage mode: 100ppm/°C, Constant Current mode: 100ppm/°C, and built-in remote sensing with a maximum compensation of 5V voltage drop across power lines.

The KLN series is suitable for ATE automatic test, burn- in test and other applications that require lots of testing power.

The KLN power supply acts as a constant voltage source for comparatively large values of load resistance, and as a constant current source for comparatively small values of load resistance. The transition between these two modes of operation occurs automatically at a “critical” or “crossover” value of load resistance Rc = Es/Is, where Es is the voltage control setting and Is is the current control setting (see Figure 1-1).

1.4 LOCAL CONTROL

The front panel encoder can set and adjust output voltage and current under local control. The display uses two 4-digit LED displays to provide a digital readout of output voltage and current.

1.5 REMOTE CONTROL

The KLN Power Supply can be remotely controlled directly via the built-in RS-485 interface using SCPI commands (see Appendix A and B). Most features available in local mode can also be accessed remotely via the RS-4 85 (standard), and GPIB (optional) or LAN (optional) digital interfaces. The transmission rate of RS-485 can be up to 115.2K bps. The RS-485 interface can be used to connect multiple power supplies, up to a maximum of 254 units. The maximum ef fe ctive control distance can be up to 1000m.

Digital remote control is also available via optional GPIB (suffix G) and LAN (suf fix E) interfaces.

1.6 ANALOG CONTROL

External reference signals, provided through the Programming Control port (see Table 2-4), can be used to control the output voltage and current of the KLN. The Programming Control port allows control of output on/off and permits emergency shutdown of the output. Output signals allow remote monitoring of whether the unit is powered on, output on/of f, a larm condition, outp ut voltage and current, and operating mode: Constant Current (CC) or Constant Voltage (CV). Refer to PAR. 3.5 for further details on using external signals to control and monitor the output.

1.7 FEATURES

1.7.1 DIGITAL CALIBRATION

The KLN Power Supply features high stability and long intervals between calibration. The unit contains no user-required internal adjustments. Calibration is done by means of software (see Section 4).

1.7.2 PROTECTION

The following protection is provided: OVP (Overvoltage protection), OCP (overcurrent protection), OTP, (overtemperature protection) and blown fuse.

1.7.3 SAVING AND RECALLING SETTINGS

The KLN offers 16 memory locations accessible from the front panel that can be used to store a set of operating parameters for later use. For each location, the user can store voltage and current values. The stored settings can then be recalled to quickly program th e unit to the prede termined setting. Refer to PAR. 3.3.6 and 3.3.7 for further details.

1.7.4 PARALLEL AND SERIES CONFIGURATIONS

Identical KLN units may be configured in series (up to two units including master) or parallel (up to five units including master) configurations. Parallel configurations provide for automatic current sharing (see PAR. 2.8 for details).

The units are 2U hig h and do not require any gaps between equipment above and below. Airflow is front to back only. Side support brackets (not supplied, see Table 1-5, Accessories) are recommended to support the weight of the unit.

2.5 WIRING INSTRU CTIO NS

Interconnections between an a-c power source and a power supply, and between the power supply and its load are as critical as the interface between other types of electronic equipment. If optimum performance is expected, certain rules for the interconnection of source, power supply and load must be observed by the user. These rules are described in detail in the following paragraphs.

CAUTION: WHEN WORKING WITH ACTIVE LOADS, THE VOLTAGE OR CURRENT OF

THE ACTIVE LOAD MUST NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM VOLTAGE OR CURRENT RATING OF THE KLN. OTHERWISE THE OVERVOLTAGE OR OVERCURRENT PROTECTION WILL SHUT DOWN THE POWER SUPPLY.

2.5.1 SAFETY GROUNDING

To minimize shock hazard, the product chassis must be connected to an electrical ground. The product must be connected to the AC power supply mains through a three-conductor power cable, with the ground wire firmly connected to an electrical gro und (safe ty ground) at the power outlet.

Local, national and international safety rules dictate the grounding of the metal cover and case of any instrument connected to the a-c power source, when such grounding is an intrinsic p art of the safety aspect of the instrument. The ground terminal of the source power connector (Figure 2-1) is connected to the chassis and the instructions below suggest wiring methods which comply with these safety require ments. In the event that the specific installation for the power system is different from the recommended wiring, it is the customer's responsibility to ensure that

KLN Series 051614 2-7

all applicable electric codes for safety grounding requirements are met. As a precaution, always connect the screw marked at the rear panel to proper earth ground.

2.5.2 SOURCE POWER CONNECTIONS

Source power is connected to the power supply via three-wire input power using the source power cable supplied (see Table 1-4). See Table 1-2 for source power spe cifications. This power supply operates from single phase a -c mains power (or between two phases of 3-phase a-c mains power) over the specified voltage and frequency ranges (Table 1-2) without any need for range selection.

CAUTION: DO NOT USE AC SUPPLY WHICH EXCEEDS THE INPUT VOLTAGE AND FRE-

QUENCY RATING OF THIS INSTRUMENT. THE INPUT VOLTAGE AND FREQUENCY RATING OF THE POWER SUPPLY ARE SHOWN IN TABLE 1-2. FOR SAFETY REASONS, THE MAINS SUPPLY VOLTAGE FLUCTUATIONS MUST NOT EXCEED ±10% OF NOMINAL VOLTAGE.

2.5.3 D-C OUTPUT GROUNDING

Connections between the power supply and the load and sensing connections may, despite all precautions such as shielding, twisting of wire pairs, etc., be influenced by radiated noise, or “noise pick-up”. To minimize the effects of this radiated noise the user should consider grounding one side of the power supply/load circuit. The success of d-c grounding requires careful analysis of each specific application, however, this recommendation can only serve as a general guideline.

One of the most important considerations in establishing a successful grounding scheme is to avoid GROUND LOOPS. Ground loops are created when two or more points are grounded at different physical locations along the output circuit. Due to the interconnection impedance between the separated grounding points, a difference voltage and resultant current flow is superimposed on the load. The effect of this ground loop can be anything from an undesirable increase in output noise to disruption of power supply and/or load operation. The only way to avoid ground loops is to ensure that the entire output/load circuit is fully isolated from ground, and only then establish a single point along the output/load circuit as the single-wire ground point.

The exact location of the “best” d-c ground point is entirely dependent upon the spe cific application, and its selection requires a combination of analysis, good judgem ent and some amoun t of empirical testing. If there is a choice in selecting either the OUTPUT or COMMON output terminals of the power supply for the d-c ground point, both sides should be tried, and preference given to the ground point producing the least noise. For single, isolated loads the d-c ground point is often best located directly at one of the output terminals of the power supply; when remote error sensing is employed, d-c ground may be established at the point of sense lead attachment. In the specific case of an internally-grounded load, the d-c ground point is automatically established at the load.

2-8 KLN Series 051614

The (+) and (–) terminals of KLN power supplies are d-c isolated (“floating”) from the chassis in order to permit the user maximum flexibility in selecting the best single point ground location. Care must be taken in measuring the ripple and noise at the power supply: measuring devices which are a-c line operated can often introduce additional ripple and noise into the circuit.

There is, unfortunately, no “best” method for interconnecting the load and power supply. Individual applications, location and nature of the load require careful analysis in each case. Grounding a single point in the output circuit can be of great importance. It is hoped that the preceding paragraphs will be of some assistance in most cases. For help in special applications or difficult problems, consult directly with Kepco's Application Engineering Department.

2.5.4 POWER SUPPLY/LOAD INTERFACE

The general function of a voltage- or current-stabilized power supply is to deliver the rated output quantities to the connected load. The load may have any conceivable characteristic: it may be fixed or variable, it may have predominantly resistive, capacitive or inductive parameters; it may be located very close to the po we r s up ply ou tp u t te rm inals or it may be a considerable distance away. The perfect interface between a power supply and its load would mean that the specified performance at the output terminals would be transferred without impairment to any load, regardless of electrical characteristics or proximity to each other.

The stabilized d-c power supply is definitely not an ideal voltage or current source, and practical interfaces definitely fall short of the ideal. All voltage-stabilized power supplies have a finite source impedance which increases with frequency, and all current-stabilized power supplies have a finite shunt impedance which decreases with frequency. The method of interface between the power supply output and the load must, therefore, take into account not only the size with regard to minimum voltage drop, but the configuration with regard to minimizing the impedance introduced by practical interconnection techniques (wire, bus bars, etc.). The series inductance of the load wire must be as small as possible as compared to the source inductance of the power supply: although the error sensing connection to the load compensates for the d-c voltage drop in the power leads, it cannot compensate for the undesirable output effects of the power lead inductance. These lead impedances (both power and sensing leads) are especially important if the load: is constantly modulated or step-programmed; has primarily reactive characteristics; or where the dynamic output response of the power supply is critical to load performance.

2.5.5 LOAD CONNECTION - GENERAL

Power connections to the load are achieved via the +POS and –NEG DC OUTPUT terminals located on the rear panel. Terminal connections for low voltage models (6V to 100V) are shown in Figure 2-8 (750W), 2-9 (1500W) or 2-10 (3000W). The 300V and 600V models employ Euroblock-style terminal blocks that accept bare wire ends.

FIGURE 2-8. LOAD CONNECTION TERMINALS FOR 750W MODELS

KLN Series 051614 2-9

FIGURE 2-9. LOAD CONNECTION TERMINALS FOR 1500W MODELS

FIGURE 2-10. LOAD CONNECTION TERMINALS FOR 3000W MODELS

2-10 KLN Series 051614

Kepco strongly recommends the use of stranded (not solid) wire with (+) and (–) wires tightly twisted to reduce self-inductance; wire end ferrules are suggested to prevent fraying of the strands.

NOTE REGARDLESS OF OUTPUT CONFIGURATION, EITHER LOCAL OR REMOTE OUT-

PUT SENSE LINES SHOULD BE CONNECTED FOR OPTIMUM OPERATION.

• OBSERVE POLARITIES: The +S sensing wire must be connected to the (+) load wire, and the –S sensing wire must be connected to the (–) load wire.

• IF LOCAL SENSING IS USED: Install red and black sense leads supp lied (see Figure 2-

11).

2.5.6 LOAD CONNECTION USING LOCAL SENSING

Figure 2-11 shows a typical configuration using local sensing. Local sensin g is recommended for a high noise or switching mode load such as d-c to d-c or d-c to a-c converter.

CAUTION: CONNECT +S ONLY TO + AND –S ONLY TO –. CONNECTING +S TO –S, +V

TO –S, OR –V TO +S WILL DAMAGE THE UNIT.

FIGURE 2-11. LOAD CONNECTIONS, LOCAL SENSING

Use the following formula and Figure 2-12 to calculate the voltage drop based on expected current and wire resistance. Refer to Table 2-5 for wire resistance for standard AWG sizes, as well as maximum recommended length of load wires for a voltage drop of less than 1V with expected load current of 5, 10, 20, 50 or 150 Amperes.

2.6 COOLING

The power devices used within the power supply are maintained within their operating temperature range by means of internal heat sink assemblies and variable speed fans with air flow from front to back. There are no intake or exhaust ports at the top or bottom, permitting stacked rack mounting with no air gaps between stacked unit s. If the power supply is loca ted within a co nfine d space, take care that the ambient temperature, which is the temperature of the air immediately surrounding the power supply, does not rise above the specified limits (see Table 1-2).

2.7 SETTING UP THE UNIT

The following paragraphs describe the connections and initial KLN setup needed to operate in the desired mode.

2.7.1 SETUP FOR LOCAL OPERATION

After connecting the unit using either local ( PAR. 2.5.6) or remote sensing (PAR. 2.5.7), the unit will power up in Local mode with no further setup required.

2.7.2 SETUP FOR REMOTE OPERATION VIA RS-485

CAUTION: DO NOT CONNECT THE POSITIVE OUTPUT TO GROUND WHEN RS-485 IS

USED. THERE IS A POTENTIAL SHOCK HAZARD AT THE RS-485 PORT WHEN POWER SUPPLIES ARE USED WITH RATED OR COMBINED VOLTAGE GREATER THAN 400V AND THE POSITIVE OUTPUT OF THE POWER SUPPLY IS GROUNDED.

Connect the KLN to the controlling computer or to the previous unit in the RS-485 daisy chain per Figure 2-14. It is recommended that double shielded wire be used to ensure the quality of remote communication. The last unit on the RS-485 bus requires a 120-Ohm terminating resistor as shown in Figure 2-14.

With all power off, connect the load to the KLN using either local or rem ote sensing (refer to PAR. 2.5). If units are to be connected in series or parallel, refer to PAR. 2.8.

Turn power on and refer to PAR. 3.2 for power supply basics. See PAR. 3.3.16 to establish RS485 baud rate and PAR. 3.3.18 to establish the RS-485 Address.

SCPI programming is described in PAR. 3.7; Appendices A and B provide syntax for SCPI common and subsystem commands and queries implemented in this unit. For RS-485 communication the RS-485 address (Axx x) must precede every command. E.g., to set the brightness to 3 and output voltage to 30 of a unit with RS-485 address 007, send A007DISP:CONT 3;:A007SOUR:VOLT 30

2.7.3 SETUP FOR REMOTE OPERATION VIA USB)

Operation via a USB port is possible using the RS-485 port of the KLN and a commercially available USB to RS-485 adapter, isolated (not supplied) as shown in Figure 2-15. See PAR.

2.7.2 and Figure 2-14 for RS-485 oper at ion .

FIGURE 2-15. USB CONNECTIONS

2.7.4 SETUP FOR REMOTE OPERATION VIA GPIB (IEEE 488)

CAUTION: DO NOT CONNECT THE POSITIVE OUTPUT TO GROUND WHEN IEEE 488 IS

USED. THERE IS A POTENTIAL SHOCK HAZARD AT THE IEEE 488 (GPIB) PORT WHEN POWER SUPPLIES ARE USED WITH RATED OR COMBINED VOLTAGE GREATER THAN 400V AND THE POSITIVE OUTPUT OF THE POWER SUPPLY IS GROUNDED.

Operation via GPIB is possible if the optional GPIB interface is installed. With all power off, connect the load to the KLN using either local o r remote sensing. If units are to be connected in series or parallel, refer to PAR. 2.8. Connect the GPIB connector to a computer (ensure a proper GPIB interface card is installed in the computer) and the KLN GPIB port (see Figure 2-

16). Turn power on and refer to PAR. 3.2 for power supply basics and PAR. 3 .6 for digit al remote mode programming. Verify GPIB communication using the utility software supplied by the manufacturer of the GPIB card installed in the computer.

Use I/O select (see PAR. 3.3.15) to select GPIB programming interface. The default GPIB address is 07; to change it refer to PAR 3.3.17. The unit automatically enters remote mode when a command is accepted.

2-14 KLN Series 051614

SCPI programming is described in PAR. 3.7; Appendices A and B provide syntax for SCPI common and subsystem commands and queries implemented in this unit. All the features descr ibed for Local Mode operation can be accomplished using remote SCPI commands.

FIGURE 2-16. GPIB CONNECTIONS

2.7.5 SETUP FOR REMOTE OPERATION VIA LAN

Operation via LAN is possible if the optional LAN interface is installed. Connect a computer to the LAN connector at the rear panel using a standard RJ 45 Ethernet

cable, CAT 5 grade or higher (not supplied) per Figure 2-17. Use I/O Select (see PAR. 3.3.15) to select LAN programming interface. The unit automatically enters remote mode when a command is accepted. The LAN interface uses LAN Port 5025 for Telnet connections.

When connecting to the LAN with a DHCP server and DNS, the KLN will obtain an IP address automatically; this will take about one minute. The IP address information can be read from the front panel (see PAR. 3.3.21 through 3.3.36 and PAR. 3.3.45 through 3.3.47) or a web br owser (see PAR 3.6.3).

See PAR. 3.6.3 to operate the unit via the LAN interface.

FIGURE 2-17. LAN CONNECTIONS

KLN Series 051614 2-15

2.8 MULTIPLE UNIT CONFIGURATIONS

Parallel and series configurations of identical KLN units increase the rated current or voltage range of the power supply. Up to five units (includin g the ma ste r) can be co nnecte d in parallel to increase the current: I

MAX (one unit)

x NP = I parallel. Similarly, up to two units (including the master) can be connected in series to increase the voltage: E

MAX (one unit)

x N2 = E

MAX (Series combination)

2.8.1 SERIES CONNECTIONS

Two identical KLN units (one master, one slave) can be operated in series to double the output voltage.

CAUTION: TOTAL VOLTAGE MUST NOT EXCEED 600V TO AVOID DAMAGING THE

UNITS.

See Figure 2-18A for series connections with local sensing or Figure 2-18B for series connections with remote sensing. See PAR. 2.5.5 for guideline regarding load connections. See PAR.

3.4.1 for instructions on operating units connected in series. Connections for series operation can be simplified by using the optional Series Connector

Board (see Table 1-4) illustrated in Figures 2-18 and 2-19. If the optional Series Connector Board is not used, refer to F igure 2-20 for programming port connections re quired for series operation.

2.8.2 PARALLEL CONNECTIONS

Up to five identical KLN units (one master and up to four slaves) can be operated in parallel to increase the output current. Output current of the parallel combination = number of units in parallel x output current of a single unit.

CAUTION: OBSERVE CORRECT POLARITY FOR ALL CONNECTIONS.

See Figure 2-21A for parallel connections with local sensing and Figure 2-21B for parallel connections with remote sensing. See PAR. 2.5.5 for guideline regarding load connections. See PAR. 3.4.3 for instructions on operating units connected in parallel.

Connections for parallel operation can be simplified by using the optional Parallel Connector Board (see Table 1-4) illustrated in Figures 2-21 and 2-22. When connecting two units in parallel, connections can be further simplified by using the optional Parallel Connection Cable , Kepco P/N 518-0121 which replaces the optional Parallel Connector Board and two Programming Port cables shown in Figure 2-21. If neither the optional Parallel Connector Board nor the Parallel Connection Cable are used, refer to Figure 2-23 for programming port connections required for parallel operation.

3.1 GENERAL

This section explains how to operate the KLN Power Supply. KLN Power Supplies feature three modes of operation:

• Local Mode (see PAR. 3.3): This is the default operating mode, providing full access to all programming and readback functions via front panel displays, controls, and indicators.

• Analog Remote Mode (see PAR. 3.5): The unit can be controlled using analog signals applied via the Programming Control port, regardless of whether local or digital remote is active.

• Digital Remote Mode (see PAR. 3.6): This mode is selected via command s transmitted through one of the digital ports. One port is for RS-485 port [standard models] The second port is optional: either an IEEE-488 (GPIB) (G-suffix models) port or a LAN port [ESuffix models]. The port to be used must fir st be enabled using the Menu (see I/O Sele ct, PAR. 3.3.15). The power supply automatically goes into digital remote mode when commands are accepted via one of the digital ports. All communication is via SCPI commands which afford full functionality of the KLN (see PAR. 3.7, Appendix A and Appendix B).

3.3.4 OVP/OVC OPERATION AND RECOVERY

If the unit detects an overvoltage or overcurrent conditio n, the OVP or OCP indicato r and the red ALARM indicator on the front panel light, the unit starts beeping and the output is set to OFF (output voltage and current are zero). To recover, recycle power by turning the unit off then on: the unit powers up with output off, no beeps and OVP/OVC indicator not lit. Before turning the output ON, either 1) programmed voltage or current must be reduced, or 2) OVP or OCP setting must be increased; otherwise the unit will again detect OVP or OVC condition resulting in output OFF, unit beeping and OVP or OVC indicator lit. Note that OVP and OCP can not be set to less than the programmed value for voltage and current respectively, and voltage and current can not be programmed to be higher than the OVP and OCP setpoint, respectively.

CAUTION: The unit may detect OVP or OCP if voltage/current is programmed very close to

the OVP/OCP limits. For this case, changing the settings as outlined above is acceptable. However, detection of OVP/OCP normally indicates a malfunction, either in the load, or in the KLN power supply itself, therefore the cause of the malfunction should be determined before setting the output to ON.

3.3.5 ENABLING/DISABLING DC OUTPUT POWER

• The front panel voltage displays of the Master and Slave each show 1/2 of the total output

voltage of the series combination. The front panel current display of the Master shows the current for the series combination

• The voltage monitoring function at pin 20 (V MON) of the Control Programming port is func-

tional for both Master and Slave, 0 - 10V corresponding to 0 to full scale voltage of the individual units. Voltage monitor for the series combination is the sum of the output of pin 20 of the Master plus pin 20 of the Slave.

• Output ON/OFF is controlled by the Master.

• The current monitoring function at pin 22 (A MON) of the Control Programming port is func-

tional for both Master and Slave, 0 - 10V corresponding to 0 to full scale current of the individual units.

3-26 KLN Series 051614

• The alarm status function at pin 9 (ALARM) of the Control Programming port is functional for both Master and Slave. If the Master alarm status is active, the Master and Slave will be shut down. If the Slave alarm status is active, only the Slave will be shut down.

• When using remote control, only the Master can be operated and controlled by remote commands.

To operate units connected in series, proceed as follows:

1. Verify that the units are connected as shown in Figure 2-18 (A, with local compensation or B

3.5 ANALOG REMOTE MODE PROGRAMMING

The KLN can be programmed remotely using analog signals applied to the remote Programming Control port at the rear panel (see Figure 2 -1 and Table 2-4). Analog remote programming allows the user to 1) control output on/off (PAR. 3.5.1), 2) initiate emergency shutdown of the output (PAR. 3.5.2), 3) control output voltage (PAR. 3.5.3) or current (PAR. 3.5.4) and 4) monitor power supply status (PAR. 3.5.6).

3.5.1 REMOTE OUTPUT ON/OFF

The output can be set on or off using the Programming Control port pins 21 and 25 (non-isolated). When the pins are shorted the output is on, when the y are open th e out is of f. This ca n be accomplished using either an optocoupler or relay. (See Figure 3-7). This feature must first be enabled from the front panel by setting external control of output on /of f to ON ( see PAR. 3.3.38). Use 5V supply from pins 13 and 14 (isolated) to power optocoupler or relay.

3.5.2 REMOTE EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN

Remote emergency shutdown of the output can be accomplished using Programming Control port pins 23 and 25 and either an optocoupler or relay. (See Figure 3-6). When the pins are open, operation is normal. When they are shorted, the output is immediately set to off, the red

(alarm) LED goes on, the unit beeps and error 77 is recorded. This happens regardless of

the status of output on/off at pin 10 and w hether external control of output on/off (see PAR.

3.3.38) is enabled or disabled.

3.7 SCPI PROGRAMMING

SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) is a programming language conforming to the protocols and standards established by IEEE 488.2 (reference document ANSI/IEEE Std 488.2, IEEE Standard Codes, Formats, Protocols, and Common Commands). The KLN Power Supply supports long and short form syntax as defined in this standard. All other aspects of this standard are specified in Appendix B of this manual. The unit ignores all incorrectly formatted messages, emitting an audible beep for each incorrect command sequence; the reason for the beep is placed in the error queue.

Different programming languages (e.g., BASIC, C, PASCAL, etc.) have different ways of representing data that is to be put on the IEEE 488 bus. It is up to the programmer to determine how to output the character sequence required for the programming language used. See Table 3-7 for VISA resource strings corresponding to RS-485, GPIB (G-suffix models only) or LAN (E-suffix models only) interfaces.

3.7.1 SCPI MESSAGES

There are two kinds of SCPI messages: program messages from controller to power supply, and response messages from the power supply to the controller. Program messages consist of one or more properly formatted commands/queries and instruct the power supply to perform an action; the controller may send a program message at any time. Response messages consist of formatted data; the data can contain information regarding operating parameters, power supply state, status, or error conditions.

3.7.2 COMMON COMMANDS/QUERIES

Common commands and queries are defined by the IEEE 488.2 standard to perform overall power supply functions (such as ide ntification, status, or synchronization) unrelated to specific power supply operation (such as setting voltage/current). Common commands and queries are preceded by an asterisk (*) and are defined an d ex pla ine d in Appe nd ix A.

3.7.3 SCPI SUBSYSTEM COMMAND/QUERY STRUCTURE

Subsystem commands/queries ar e related to specific power supply functions (such as s etting output voltage, current, etc.) Figure 3-17 is a tree diagram illustrating the structure of SCPI subsystem commands used in the KLN Power Supply with the root at the left side, and specific commands forming the branches. The following paragraphs introduce the subsystems; subsystem commands are defined and explained in Appendix B.

3.7.3.1 CALIBRATE SUBSYSTEM

This subsystem is used to calibrate the unit, however these commands and queries are not accessible to the user.

3.7.3.2 DISPLAY SUBSYSTEM

This subsystem is used to set and ascertain the brightness on the front panel Voltage and Current displays.

3.7.3.3 FETCH SUBSYSTEM

This subsystem is used to measure and return both voltage and current measurements.

3.7.3.4 OUTPUT SUBSYSTEM

This subsystem is used to control whether the output is on or off, and whether the power supply powers up with the output set to the reset state or to the last settings in effect when the unit was powered off.

3.7.3.5 SOURCE SUBSYSTEM

This subsystem is used to program the output voltage and current of the power supply, associated protection levels and lim its and output ramp up and down times. This s ubsystem is also used to control the memory locations used to store power supply settings for later recall.

3.7.3.6 SYSTEM SUBSYSTEM

This subsystem is used to control the audible beep upon key presses, enabling/disabling the front panel keys and reading of error codes and SCPI version.

Understanding the command structure requires an understanding of the subsystem command tree illustrated in Figure 3-17. The “root” is located at the top left corner of the diagram. The parser goes to the root if:

• a message terminator is recognized by the parser

• a root specifier is recognized by the parser

Starting at the root, there are various branches or paths corresponding to the subsystems. The root keywords for the KLN Power Supply are :CALibrate, :DISPlay, :FETCh, :OUTPut, :SOURce and :SYSTem.

4.1 GENERAL

This section contains the calibration instructions for the Power Supply. It is recommended that the user be familiar with Local Mode operation (PAR. 3.3) before calibrating the unit.

CAUTION: IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT CALIBRATION BE PERFORMED ONLY BY

AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL FAMILIAR WITH ELECTRONIC TEST AND CALIBRATION EQUIPMENT.

A full calibration consist of a voltage calibration and a current calibr ation. Both voltage and current calibrations consist of a full scale calibration.

Calibration of the KLN is performed locally using the front panel controls NOTE: Calibration of a master/slave configuration requires that both units be restored to

standalone operation (see PAR. 3.4.2 or 3.4.4 for instructions) an d calibrated individually.

4.2 EQUIPMENT REQUIRED

The following equipment is required to calibrate the KLN Power Supply.

• Digital Voltmeter (DVM) with 6 digits resolution and at least 0.002% accuracy for d-c measurements.

SECTION 4 - CALIBRATION

NOTE: Because the voltage measured will be used as a reference for calibration, the DVM

used must be accurately calibrated prior to calibrating the power supply.

• Precision Shunt Resistor (with a tolerance of 0.01%, power rating of at least 10 times larger than the maximum stress, and a tempe rature coef ficie nt equal to or b etter than 20 ppm per degree C).

NOTE: Proper cooling of the external precision shunt resistor ensures the accuracy of the cal-

ibration.
