3.9 CONNECTING THE LOAD

Turn Off the AC input power before making or changing any rear panel connection. Ensure that all connections are securely tightened before applying power. There is a potential shock hazard when using a power supply with a rated output greater than 40V.

3.9.1 Load Wiring

The following considerations should be made to select wiring for connecting the load to the power supply:

∗ Current carrying capacity of the wire (refer to Section 3.9.2) ∗ Insulation rating of the wire should be at least equivalent to the maximum output voltage of

the power supply.

∗ Maximum wire length and voltage drop (refer to Section 3.9.2) ∗ Noise and impedance effects of the load wiring (refer to Section 3.9.4).

3.9.2 Current Carrying Capacity

Two factors must be considered when selecting the wire size:

1. Wires should be at least heavy enough not to overheat while carrying the power supply

load current at the rated load, or the current that would flow in the event the load wires were shorted, whichever is greater.

WARNING

83-507-5002 Rev. B

remote sensing. (Do not connect

S to +V or +S to

V).

2. Wire size should be selected to enable voltage drop per lead to be less than 1.0V at the

rated current. Although units will compensate for up to 5V in each load wire, it is recommended to minimize the voltage drop (1V typical maximum) to prevent excessive output power consumption from the power supply and poor dynamic response to load changes. Please refer to Tables 3-2 and 3-3 for minimum wire length (to limit voltage drop) in American and European dimensions respectively.

3.9.3 Wire termination

The wires should be properly terminated with terminals securely attached. DO NOT use unterminated wires for load connection at the power supply.

Maximum length=1000/(current x resistivity)

CAUTION

83-507-5002 Rev. B

3.9.4 Noise and Impedance Effects

To minimize the noise pickup or radiation, the load wires and remote sense wires should be twisted pairs to the shortest possible length. Shielding of sense leads may be necessary in high noise environments. Where shielding is used, connect the shield to the chassis via a rear panel Ground screw. Even if noise is not a concern, the load and remote sense wires should be twisted-pairs to reduce coupling, which might impact the stability of power supply. The sense leads should be separated from the power leads. Twisting the load wires reduces the parasitic inductance of the cable, which could produce high frequency voltage spikes at the load and the output of the power supply, because of current variation in the load itself. The impedance introduced between the power supply output and the load could make the ripple and noise at the load worse than the noise at the power supply rear panel output. Additional filtering with bypass capacitors at the load terminals may be required to bypass the high frequency load current.

3.9.5 Inductive loads

Inductive loads can produce voltage spikes that may be harmful to the power supply. A diode should be connected across the output. The diode voltage and current rating should be greater than the power supply maximum output voltage and current rating. Connect the cathode to the positive output and the anode to the negative output of the power supply.

Where positive load transients such as back EMF from a motor may occur, connect a surge suppressor across the output to protect the power supply. The breakdown voltage rating of the suppressor must be approximately 10% higher than the maximum output voltage of the power supply.

3.9.6 Making the load connections

WARNING

Hazardous voltages may exist at the outputs and the load connections when using a power supply with a rated output greater than 40V. To protect personnel against accidental contact with hazardous voltages, ensure that the load and its connections have no accessible live parts. Ensure that the load wiring insulation rating is greater than or equal to the maximum output voltage of the power supply.

CAUTION

Ensure that the load wiring mounting hardware does not short the output terminals. Heavy connecting cables must have some form of strain relief to prevent loosening the connections or bending the bus-bars.

6V to 60V Models

Refer to Fig.3-5 for connection of the load wires to the power supply bus-bars and to Fig.3-6 for mounting the bus-bars shield to the chassis.

83-507-5002 Rev. B

Fig. 3-6: bus-bars shield mounting 80V to 600V Models

Hazardous voltages exist at the outputs and the load connections. To protect personnel against accidental contact with hazardous voltages, ensure that the load and its connections have no accessible live parts. Ensure that the load wiring insulation rating is greater than or equal to the maximum output voltage of the power supply.

WARNING

83-507-5002 Rev. B

The 80V to 600V models have a four terminal wire clamp output connector. The two left terminals are the positive outputs and the two right terminals are the negative outputs. The connector requirements are as follows:

1. Wires: AWG18 to AWG10.

2. Tightening torque: 6.5-7.0 Lb-inch.

Follow the instructions below for connection of the load wires to the power supply:

1. Strip approx. 10mm (0.39 inches) at the end of each of the wires.

2. Loosen the connector terminal screws.

3. Insert the stripped wires into the terminal and tighten the terminal screw securely (see Fig.3-7)

4. Loosen the two chassis screws marked “A” halfway as shown in Fig.3-8.

5. Assemble the protective shield to the chassis and tighten the two screws to fix the shield to the chassis (see Fig.3-8). Screws tightening torque: 4.8-5.3 Lb-inch.

6. Tighten the wires to one of the shield sides using ty-wrap or equivalent. Refer to Fig.3-9. Ensure that the wire length inside the shield is long enough to provide proper strain relief.

It is recommended that each pair of wires will be as short as possible and twisted or shielded to minimize noise pick-up and radiation. The sense wires should be connected to the power supply output terminals or to the load with the most critical load regulation requirement.

3.9.11 Grounding outputs

Either the positive or negative output terminals can be grounded. To avoid noise probems caused by common-mode current flowing from the load to ground, it is recommended to ground the output terminal as close as possible to the power supply chassis ground. Always use two wires to connect the load to the power supply regardless of how the system is grounded.

WARNING

Models up to 60VDC Rated Output shall not float outputs more than +/-60VDC above/below chassis ground. Models > 60VDC Rated Output shall not float outputs more than +/-600VDC above/below chassis ground.

There is a potential shock hazard at the RS232/RS485 and the IEEE ports when using power supplies with rated or combined voltage greater than 400V with the Positive Output of the power supplies grounded. Do not connect the Positive output to ground when using the RS232/RS485 or IEEE under the above conditions.

OUTPUT TERMINAL GROUNDING

WARNING

3.10 LOCAL AND REMOTE SENSING

The rear panel J2 sense connector is used to configure the power supply for local or remote sensing of the Output Voltage. Refer to Fig.3-14 for sense connector location.

3.10.1 Sense wiring

WARNING

There is a potential shock hazard at the sense connector when using a power supply with a rated Output Voltage greater than 40V. Local sense and remote sense wires should have a minimum insulation rating equivalent or greater than the maximum Output Voltage of the power supply. Ensure that the connections at the load end are shielded to prevent accidental contact with hazardous voltages.

3.10.2 Local sensing

The power supply is shipped with the rear panel J2 sense connector wired for local sensing of the Output Voltage. See Table 3-4 for J2 terminals assignment. With local sensing, the Output Voltage regulation is made at the output terminals. This method does not compensate for voltage drop on the load wires, therefore it is recommended only for low load current applications or where the load regulation is less critical.

Fig.3-14: Sense connector location

Table 3-4: J2 terminals

83-507-5002 Rev. B

3.10.3 Remote sensing WARNING

There is a potential shock hazard at the sense point when using a power supply with a rated Output Voltage greater than 40V. Ensure that the connections at the load end are shielded to prevent accidental contact with hazardous voltages.

CAUTION

When using shielded sense wires, ground the shield in one place only. The location can be the power supply chassis or one of the output terminals.

Use remote sense where the load regulation at the load end is critical. In remote sense, the power supply will compensate for voltage drop on the load wires. Refer to the power supply specifications for the maximum voltage drop on load wires. The voltage drop is subtracted from the total voltage available at the output. Follow the instructions below to configure the power supply for remote sensing:

1. Ensure that the AC On/Off is in the Off position.

2. Remove the local sense jumpers from J2.

3. Connect the negative sense lead to terminal J2-5 (S) and the positive sense lead to terminal

J2-1(+S) of the J2 mating connector. Ensure that the J2 mating connector is plugged securely into the rear panel sense connector, J2.

4. Turn On the power supply.

Notes:

1. If the power supply is operating in remote sense and either the positive or negative load wire

is not connected, an internal protection circuit will activate and shut down the power supply. To resume operation, turn the AC On/Off to the Off position, connect the open load wire, and turn On the power supply.

2. If the power supply is operated without the remote sense lines or local sense jumpers, it will

continue to work, but the output voltage regulation will be degraded. Also, the OVP circuit may activate and shut down the power supply.

CHAPTER 5 LOCAL OPERATION

5.1 INTRODUCTION

This Chapter describes the operating modes that are not involved in programming and monitoring the power supply via its serial communication port (RS232/RS485) or by remote analog signals. Ensure that the REM/LOC LED on the front panel is Off, indicating Local mode. If the REM/LOC LED is On, press the front panel REM/LOC button to change the operating mode to Local.

-For information regarding Remote Analog Programming, refer to Chapter 6.

-For information regarding usage of the Serial Communication Port, refer to Chapter 7.

5.2 STANDARD OPERATION

The power supply has two basic operating modes: Constant Voltage Mode and Constant Current Mode. The mode in which the power supply operates at any given time depends on the Output Voltage setting, Output Current setting and the load resistance.

5.2.1 Constant Voltage Mode

1. In constant voltage mode, the power supply regulates the Output Voltage at the selected value, while the load current varies as required by the load.

2. While the power supply operates in constant voltage mode, the VOLTAGE LED on the front panel illuminates.

3. Adjustment of the Output Voltage can be made when the power supply output is enabled (Output On) or disabled (Output Off). When the output is enabled, simply rotate the VOLTAGE encoder knob to program the output voltage. When the output is disabled, press the PREV button and then rotate the VOLTAGE encoder knob. The VOLTAGE meter will show the programmed Output Voltage for 5 seconds after the adjustment has been completed. Then the VOLTAGE meter will display “OFF”.

4. Adjustment resolution can be set to coarse or fine resolution. Press FINE button to select between the lower and higher resolution. The FINE LED turns On when the resolution is set to FINE.

NOTE

5.2.2 Constant Current Mode

1. In constant current mode, the power supply regulates the Output Current at the selected value, while the voltage varies with the load requirement.

2. While the power supply is operating in constant current mode, the CURRENT LED on the front panel illuminates.

3. Adjustment of the Output Current setting can be made when the power supply output is enabled (Output On) or disabled (Output Off).

-Disabled output (Off): Press PREV button and then rotate the Current encoder knob. The

CURRENT meter will show the programmed Output Current limit for 5 seconds after the adjustment has been completed. Then the VOLTAGE meter will display “OFF”.

If after completing the adjustment, the display shows a different value than the setting, the power supply may be at current limit. Check the load condition and the power supply Output Current setting.

NOTE

The maximum and minimum setting values of the output voltage are limited by the Over Voltage protection and Under Voltage limit setting. Refer to Sections 5.3 and 5.4 for more details.

83-507-5002 Rev. B

-Enabled output, power supply in Constant Voltage mode: Press the PREV button and then rotate the CURRENT encoder knob. The CURRENT meter will show the programmed Output Current for 5 seconds after the adjustment has been completed, and then will return to show the actual load current.

-Enabled output, power supply in Constant Current mode: Rotate the CURRENT encoder knob to adjust the Output Current.

4. Adjustment resolution can be set to Coarse or Fine adjustment. Press the FINE button to select between the Coarse and Fine resolution. The FINE LED turns On when the resolution is set to FINE.

5.2.3 Automatic Crossover

If the power supply operates in Constant Voltage mode, while the load current is increased to greater than the current limit setting, the power supply will automatically switch to Constant Current mode. If the load is decreased to less than the current limit setting, the power supply will automatically switch back to Constant Voltage mode.

5.3 OVER VOLTAGE PROTECTION (OVP)

The OVP circuit protects the load in the event of a remote or local programming error or a power supply failure. The protection circuit monitors the voltage at the power supply sense points and thus provides the protection level at the load. Upon detection of an Over Voltage condition, the power supply output will shut down.

5.3.1 Setting the OVP level

The OVP can be set when the power supply output is Enabled (On) or Disabled (Off). To set the OVP level, press the OVP/UVL button, so that the CURRENT meter shows “OUP”. The VOLTAGE meter shows the OVP setting level. Rotate the VOLTAGE encoder knob to adjust the OVP level. The display will show “OUP” and the setting value for 5 seconds after the adjustment has been completed, and then will return to its previous state. The minimum setting level is approximately 105% of the set Output Voltage, or the value in Table 7-6, whichever is higher. The maximum setting level is shown in Table 5-1.

To preview the OVP setting, press the OVP/UVL pushbutton so that the CURRENT display will show “OUP”. At this time, the VOLTAGE display will show

5.3.2 Activated OVP protection indications

When the OVP is activated the power supply output shuts down. The VOLTAGE display shows “OUP” and the ALARM LED blinks.

5.3.3 Resetting the OVP circuit

To reset the OVP circuit after it activates:

1. Reduce the power supply Output Voltage setting below the OVP set level.

2. Ensure that the load and the sense wiring are connected properly.

3. There are four methods to reset the OVP circuit. a) Press the OUT button. b) Turn the power supply Off using the AC On/Off switch, wait until the front panel display turns Off, then turn the power supply On using the AC On/Off switch. c) Turn the power supply output Off and then On using the SO control (refer to Section 5.7). In this method the power supply should be set to Auto-Restart mode. d) Send an OUT 1command via the RS232/RS485 communication port.

83-507-5002 Rev. B

5.4 UNDER VOLTAGE LIMIT (UVL)

The UVL prevents adjustment of the Output Voltage below a certain limit. The combination of UVL and OVP functions, allow the user to create a protection window for sensitive load circuitry.

5.4.1 Setting the UVL level

Setting the UVL can be made when the power supply output is Enabled (On) or Disabled (Off). To set the UVL level, press the OVP/UVL button TWICE, so that the CURRENT meter shows “UUL”. The VOLTAGE meter shows the UVL setting level. Rotate the VOLTAGE encoder knob to adjust the UVL level. The display will show ‘UUL” and the setting value for 5 seconds after the adjustment has been completed and then will return to its previous state. UVL setting values are limited at the maximum level to approximately 95% of the Output Voltage setting. Attempting to adjust the UVL above this limit will result in no response to the adjustment attempt. The minimum UVL setting is zero.

5.5 FOLDBACK PROTECTION

Foldback protection will shut down the power supply output if the load current exceeds the current limit setting level. This protection is useful when the load circuitry is sensitive to an overcurrent condition.

5.5.1 Setting the Foldback protection

To arm the Foldback protection, the FOLD button should be pressed so that the FOLD LED illuminates. In this condition, transition from Constant Voltage to Constant Current mode will activate the Foldback protection. Activation of the Foldback protection disables the power supply output, causes the ALARM LED to blink and displays “Fb” on the VOLTAGE meter.

5.5.2 Resetting activated Foldback protection

There are four methods to reset an activated Foldback protection.

1. Press the OUT button. The power supply output is enabled and the Output Voltage and Current will return to their last setting. In this method, the Foldback protection remains armed, therefore if the load current is higher than the current limit setting, the Foldback protection will be activated again.

2. Press the FOLD button to cancel the Foldback protection. The power supply output will be disabled and the VOLTAGE display will show “OFF”. Press the OUT button to enable the power supply output.

3. Turn the power supply output Off and then On using the SO control (refer to Section 5.7). In this method the Foldback protection remains armed, therefore if the load current is higher than the output current setting, the Foldback protection will be activated.

4. Turn the power supply Off using the AC On/Off switch, wait until the front panel display turns Off, then turn the unit back ON again. The power supply output is enabled and the Output Voltage and Current will return to their last setting. In this method, the Foldback protection remains armed, therefore if the load current is higher than the output current setting, the Foldback protection will be activated again.

5.6 OUTPUT ON/OFF CONTROL

The Output On/Off Enables or Disables the power supply output. Use this function to make adjustments to either the power supply or the load without shutting off the AC power. The Output On/Off can be activated from the front panel using the OUT button or from the rear panel J1 connector. The OUT button can be pressed at any time to Enable or Disable the power supply output. When the output is disabled, the Output Voltage and Current fall to zero and the VOLTAGE display shows “OFF”.

5.7 OUTPUT SHUT-OFF (SO) CONTROL VIA REAR PANEL J1 CONNECTOR

Contacts 2, 3 and 15 of J1 (Fig.4-2, Item 5) serve as Output Shut-Off (SO) terminals. The SO terminals accept a 2.5V to 15V signal or Open-Short contact to disable or enable the power supply output. The SO function will be activated only when a transition from On to Off is detected after applying AC power to the unit. (Thus, in Auto-Restart mode, the output will be Enabled after

Enable/Disable inputs to the positive or negative output potential.

applying AC power; even if SO is at an Off level). After an On to Off transition it is detected, the SO will Enable or Disable the power supply output according to the signal level or the short/open applied to J1. This function is useful for connecting power supplies in a “Daisy-chain” (refer to Section 5.16). The SO control can also be used to reset the OVP and Fold Protection (refer to Section 5.3 and 5.5 for details). When the unit is shut-off by a J1 signal, the VOLTAGE display will show “SO” to indicate the unit state. J1 contact 15 is the SO signal input and contacts 2 and 3, IF_COM, are the signal return (connected internally). Contacts 2, 3 and 15 are optically isolated from the power supply output. The SO control logic can be selected by the rear panel SW1 Setup switch. Refer to Table 5-2 for SW1 setting and SO Control Logic.

NOTE

5.9 CV/CC SIGNAL

CV/CC signal indicates the operating mode of the power supply, Constant Voltage or Constant Current. The CV/CC signal is an open collector output with a 30V parallel zener, at J1-13, referenced to the COM potential at J1-12 (connected internally to the negative sense potential). When the power supply operates in Constant Voltage mode, CV/CC output is open. When the power supply operates in Constant Current mode, the CV/CC signal output is low (0-0.6), with maximum 10mA sink current.

Do not connect the CV/CC signal to a voltage source higher than 30VDC. Always connect the CV/CC signal to voltage source with a series resistor to limit the sink current to less than 10mA.

83-507-5002 Rev. B

CAUTION

5.10 PS_OK SIGNAL

The PS_OK signal indicates the fault condition of the power supply. PS_OK is a TTL signal output at J1-16, referenced to IF_COM at J1-2, 3 (Isolated Interface Common). When a fault condition occurs, the PS_OK level is low, with a maximum sink current of 1mA; when no fault condition occurs, the PS_OK level is high with a maximum source current of 2mA. The following faults will set the PS_OK to a Fault state: *OTP *Enable/Disable open (Power supply is disabled) *OVP *SO (Rear panel Shut-Off, Power Supply is shut off) *Foldback *IEEE failure (With optional IEEE interface) *AC fail *Output Off

5.11 SAFE-START AND AUTO-RESTART MODES

When turning On the power supply AC On/Off, it can start to its last setting of Output Voltage and Current with the output Enabled (Auto-restart mode) or start with the output Disabled (Safestart mode). Press and hold the OUT button to select between Safe-start and Auto-restart modes. The VOLTAGE display will continuously cycle between “SAF” and “AU7” (“7” represents “T”) every 3 seconds. Releasing the OUT pushbutton while one of the modes is displayed, selects that mode. The default setting at shipment is Safe-start mode.

5.11.1 Auto-restart mode

In this mode, the power supply restores its last operation setting. Upon start-up, the output is enabled or disabled according to its last setting.

5.11.2 Safe-start mode

In this mode, the power supply restores its last operation setting and sets the Output to an Off state. At start-up, the output is Disabled and the Output Voltage and Current are zero. To Enable the output and restore the last Output Voltage and Current values, momentarily press the OUT button.

5.12 OVER TEMPERATURE PROTECTON (OTP)

The OTP circuit shuts down the power supply before the internal components can exceed their safe internal operating temperature. When an OTP shutdown occurs, the display shows “O7P” and the ALARM LED blinks. Resetting the OTP circuit can be automatic (non-latched) or manual (latched) depending on the Safe-start or Auto-restart mode.

Safe-start mode:

In Safe-start mode, the power supply stays Off after the over temperature condition has been removed. The display continues to show “O7P” and the ALARM LED continues to blink. To reset the OTP circuit, press the OUT button (or send an OUT ON command via the serial port).

Auto-restart mode:

In Auto-restart mode, the power supply recovers to its last setting auto-

matically when the over temperature condition is removed.

5.13 LAST SETTING MEMORY

The power supply is equipped with Last Setting Memory, which stores several power supply parameters at each AC turn-off sequence.

STORED PARAMETERS:

1. OUT On or Off

2. Output Voltage setting (PV setting)

3. Output Current setting (PC setting)

4. OVP level

5. UVL level

6. FOLD setting

5.14 SERIES OPERATION

Power supplies of the SAME MODEL can be connected in series to obtain increased output voltage. Split connection of the power supplies gives positive and negative output voltage.

CAUTION

Do not connected power supplies from different manufacturers in series or in parallel.

5.14.1 Series connection for increased output voltage

In this mode, two units are connected so that their outputs are summed. Set the Current of each power supply to the maximum that the load can handle without damage. It is recommended that diodes be connected in parallel with each unit output to prevent reverse voltage during start up sequence or in case one unit shuts down. Each diode should be rated to at least the power supply rated Output Voltage and Output Current. Refer to Fig.5-1 and 5-2 for series operation with local and remote sensing.

When power supplies are connected in series, and the load or one of the output terminals is grounded, no point may be at a greater potential of +/-60VDC from ground for models up to 60VDC Rated Output and +/-600VDC from ground for models >60VDC Rated Output. When using RS232/RS485 or IEEE, refer to the OUTPUT TERMINALS GROUNDING warning in Section 3.9.11.

5.15 PARALLEL OPERATION

Up to four units of the same VOLTAGE and CURRENT rating can be connected in parallel to provide up to four times the Output Current capability. One of the units operates as a Master and the remaining units are Slaves. The Slave units are analog programmed by the Master unit. In remote digital operation, only the Master unit can be programmed by the computer, while the Slave units may be connected to the computer for voltage, current and status readback only. Follow the following procedure to configure multiple supplies for parallel operation. Refer to Sec.

5.15.1 and to Sec. 5.15.2 for detailed explanation.

5.15.1 Basic parallel operation

In this method, setting the units as Master and Slaves is made by the rear panel J1 connections and the setup switch SW1. Each unit displays its own output current and voltage. To program the load current, the Master unit should be programmed to the total load current divided by the number of units in the system. Refer to the following procedure to configure multiple supplies for basic parallel operation.

1. Setting up the Master unit

Set the Master unit Output Voltage to the desired voltage. Program the Output Current to the desired load current divided by the number of parallel units. During operation, the Master unit operates in CV mode, regulating the load voltage at the programmed Output Voltage. Connect the sensing circuit to local or remote sensing as shown in Fig.5-4 or fig.5-5.

2. Setting up the Slave units

-1. The Output Voltage of the Slave units should be programmed 2-5% higher than the Output Voltage of the Master unit to prevent interference with the Master unit’s control. The Output Current setting of each unit should be programmed to the desired load current divided by the number of parallel units.

2. Set the rear panel setup switch SW1 position 2 to the up position.

3. Connect a wire jumper between J1-8 and J1-12 (refer to Table 4-4).

4. Connect J1 terminal 10(IPGM) of the slave unit to J1 terminal 25(P) of the master unit.

83-507-5002 Rev. B

During operation, the Slave units operate as a controlled current source following the Master Output Current. It is recommended that the power system be designed so that each unit supplies up to 95% of its current rating because of the imbalance which may be caused by cabling and connection voltage drop.

3. Setting Over Voltage protection

The Master unit OVP setting should be programmed to the desired OVP level. The OVP setting of the slave units should be programmed to a higher value than the Master OVP. When the Master unit shuts down, it programs the Slave unit to zero Output Voltage. If a Slave unit shuts down (when its OVP is set lower than the Master Output Voltage), only that Slave unit would shut down, and the remaining Slave units would supply all the load current.

4. Setting Foldback protection

Foldback protection, is desired, may only be used with the Master unit. When the Master unit shuts down, it programs the Slave units to zero Output Voltage.

5. Connection to the load

In parallel operation, power supplies can be connected in local or remote sensing. Refer to Fig. 5-4 and 5-5 for typical connections of parallel power supplies. The figures show connection of two units, however the same connection method applies for up to 4 units.

5.15.2 Advanced parallel operation

In this method, multiple supplies can be configured to parallel operation as a single power supply. The total load current and output voltage are displayed by the Master unit and can be readback from the Master unit. The Slave units display only their operating status (On, Off or Fault condition). Refer to the following procedure to configure multiple supplies for Advanced parallel operation.

1. Advanced parallel configuration

• SW1 position 2 - Down in the Master Supply and up in all Slave Supplies.

• Connect a short between J1-8 and J1-12 in all Slave Supplies.

• Connect J1-25 of the Master Supply to J1-10 of all Slave Supplies.

• Connect J1-16 of the Master Supply to J1-15 of the ‘First’ Slave Supply.

• Connect J1-16 of the ‘First’ Slave Supply to J1-15 of the ‘Second’ Slave Supply (if

any)

• Connect J1-16 of the ‘Second’ Slave Supply to J1-15 of the ‘Third’ Slave Supply (if any)

• Connect J1-16 of the ‘Last’ Slave Supply to J1-15 of the Master Supply

• Connect J1-2 (or J1-3) common to all supplies

• Select Local or Remote sense - Ref. Figures 5-4 and 5-5

2. Setting the units as Master or Slave

a) Depress and hold the FINE button for 3 seconds. The Master/Slave configuration will be displayed on the Current Display. Rotate the CURRENT encoder to obtain the desired mode. Refer to Table 5-4 for the CURRENT display and modes of operation.

CURRENT Display Operating Mode

S Slave supply

Table 5-4: Setting mode of operation b) When the desired configuration is obtained, depress and release the FINE button or wait approx. 5 seconds.

83-507-5002 Rev. B

LOAD

3. Master and Slave units default operation

a) When a unit is programmed to Slave mode it enters the Remote mode with Local Lockout. In this mode, the front panel controls are disabled to prevent accidental setting change (refer to Sec. 7.2.7 for details). b) The Slave units parameters will automatically set the following: *Output voltage to approximately 102% of rated output voltage. *Programmed Current to zero. *UVL to zero volts *OVP to its maximum value *AST On *OUT On *Foldback protection Off c) The Master and Slave modes are stored in the power supply EEPROM when the AC power is turned off. The system will return to the Master/Slave mode upon re-application of AC power.

4. CURRENT display accuracy

In the advanced parallel mode, the Master unit calculates the total current by multiplying the Master output current by the number of Slave units. In this method, the CURRENT display accuracy is 2% +/- 1 count. In cases that higher accuracy is required, it is recommended to use the basic parallel operation mode.

5. To release units from Slave mode

Slave units can be released using the following procedure: a) Depress FINE button for 3 seconds. The Master/Slave configuration will be displayed on the CURRENT display. b) Select H1 mode using the CURRENT encoder. c) Depress FINE button again or wait 5 seconds. d) Turn the AC power Off to store the new setting. e) After exiting from Slave operation the unit’s parameters will be set to:

*Programmed Voltage to zero *Programmed Current to zero *UVL to zero volts *OVP to its maximum value *AST OFF *OUT OFF *Foldback protection OFF *Locked Front Panel

NOTE

With local sensing it is important to minimize the wire length and resistance. Also the positive and negative wire resistance should be close as possible to each other to achieve current balance between power supplies

5.16 DAISY-CHAIN CONNECTION

It is possible to configure a multiple power supply system to shut down all the units when a fault condition occurs in one of the units. When the fault is removed, the system recovers according to its setting to Safe-start or Auto-restart mode. Setup switch SW1, position 5 should be set to its DOWN position to enable the Daisy-chain operation. Other SW1 positions can be set according to the application requirements. If a fault occurs in one of the units, its PS_OK signal will be set to a low level and the display will indicate the fault. The other units will shut off and their display will indicate “SO”. When the fault condition is removed, the units will recover to their last setting according to their Safe-start or Auto-restart setting. Fig.5-6 shows connection of three units, however the same connection method applies to systems with a larger number of units.

CHAPTER 6 REMOTE ANALOG PROGRAMMING

6.1 INTRODUCTION

The rear panel connector J1 allows the user to program the power supply Output Voltage and Current with an analog device. J1 also provides monitoring signals for Output Voltage and Output Current. The programming range and monitoring signals range can be selected between 05V or 0-10V using the setup switch SW1. When the power supply is in Remote Analog programming mode, the serial communication port is active and can be used to query the power supply settings.

COM (J1-12), VPGM_RTN (J1-22) AND IPGM_RTN (J1-23) terminals of J1 connect internally to the -Sense potential (-S). Do not connect these terminals to any potential other than -Sense (-S), as it may damage the power supply.

6.2 LOCAL/REMOTE ANALOG INDICATION

Contact 8 of J1 (Fig.4-2, Item 5) accepts TTL signal or Open-Short contact (referenced to J1-12) to select between Local or Remote Analog programming of the Output Voltage and Current. In Local mode, the Output Voltage and Output Current can be programmed via the front panel VOLTAGE and CURRENT encoders or via the RS232/RS485 port. In Remote Analog mode, the Output Voltage and current can be programmed by analog voltage or by programming resistors via J1 contacts 9 and 10 (refer to Sections 6.4 and 6.5). Refer to Table 6-1 for Local/Remote Analog control (J1-8) function and Setup switch SW1-1, 2 setting.

6.3 LOCAL/REMOTE ANALOG INDICATION

Contact 21 of J1 (Fig. 4-2, Item 5) is an open collector output that indicates if the power supply is in Local mode or in Remote Analog mode. To use this output, connect a pull-up resistor to a voltage source of 30Vdc maximum. Choose the pull-up resistor so that the sink current will be less than 5mA when the output is in a low state. Refer to table 6-2 for J1-21 function.

6.4 REMOTE VOLTAGE PROGRAMMING OF OUTPUT VOLTAGE AND OUTPUT CURRENT LIMIT

To maintain the power supply isolation and to prevent ground loops, use an isolated programming source when operating the power supply via remote analog programming at the J1 connector.

Perform the following procedure to set the power supply to Remote Voltage programming:

1. Turn the power supply AC On/Off switch to Off.

2. Set setup switch SW1, positions 1 and 2 to their UP position.

3. Set SW1, position 3 to select the programming voltage range according to Table 6-3.

4. Ensure that SW1, positions 7 and 8 are at their DOWN (default) position.

5. Connect a wire jumper between J1-8 and J1-12 (refer to Table 4-4).

6. Connect the programming source to the mating plug of J1 as shown in Fig.6-1. Observe correct polarity for the voltage source.

7. Set the programming sources to the desired levels and turn the power supply ON. Adjust the programming sources to change the power supply output.

NOTES:

1. SW1, positions, 4, 5, 6 and 9 are not required for remote programming. Their settings can be determined according to the application.

2. The control circuits allow the user to set the Output Voltage and Output Current up to 5% over the model-rated maximum value. The power supply will operate within the extended range, however it is not recommended to operate the power supply over its voltage and current rating, and performance is not guaranteed.

6.5 RESISITIVE PROGRAMMING OF OUTPUT VOLTAGE AND CURRENT LIMIT

For resistive programming, internal current sources, for Output Voltage and/or Output Current control, supply 1mA current through external programming resistors connected between J1-9 & 22 and J1-10 & 23. The voltage across the programming resistors is used as a programming voltage for the power supply. Resistance of 0i5Kohm or 0i10Kohm can be selected to program the Output Voltage and Output Current from zero to full scale. A variable resistor can control the output over its entire range, or a combination of variable resistor and series/parallel resistors can control the output over restricted portion of its range.

Perform the following procedure to set the power supply to Resistive programming:

1. Turn the AC On/Off switch to Off.

2. Set setup switch SW1, positions 1 and 2 to their UP position.

3. Set SW1, position 3 to select the programming resistor range according to Table 6-4.

4. Set SW1, positions 7 and 8 to their UP position, to enable resistive programming mode.

5. Connect a wire jumper between J1-8 and J1-12 (refer to Table 4-4).

6. Connect the programming resistors to the mating plug of J1 as shown in Fig.6-2.

7. Set the programming resistors to the desired resistance and turn the power supply ON. Adjust the resistors to change the power supply output.

NOTES:

1. SW1, positions 4, 5, 6 and 9 are not required for remote programming. Their settings can be determined according to the application requirements.

3. To maintain the temperature stability specification of the power supply, the resistors used for programming should be stable and low noise resistors, with temperature coefficient of less than 50ppm.

4. When resistive programming is used, front panel and computer control (via serial communication port) of Output Voltage and Current are disabled.

6.6 REMOTE MONITORING OF OUTPUT VOLTAGE AND CURRENT

The J1 connector, located on the rear panel provides analog signals for monitoring the Output Voltage and Output Current. Selection of the voltage range between 0-5V or 0-10V is made by setup switch SW1-4. The monitoring signals represent 0 to 100% of the power supply Output Voltage and Output Current. The monitor outputs have 500 ohm series output resistance. Ensure that the sensing circuit has an input resistance of greater than 500 Kohm or accuracy will be reduced. Refer to Table 6-5 for the required J1 connection, SW1-4 setting and monitoring voltage range.

7.4 MD MODE OPTION (Factory Installed)

7.4.1 MD Mode Description

The GEN supply is capable of operating in a multi drop environment - more than 1 supply conducting serial communications on a single serial bus. A maximum of 31 GEN supplies can operate in this single bus. Upon power up the Gen will enter the point-to-point mode in which it is assumed that only 1 supply will operate on a serial bus. MD Mode must be enabled - Ref. Section

7.10.2.2. The user must set all Slave supplies to a unique address. No two supplies may have

the same address.

7.4.2 MD Mode enable – Serial communication mode

Refer to section 7.10.2.2. MD Mode is entered into via a Single byte command. In MD Mode the Master supply shall operate in one of the two serial modes, RS232 or RS485, depending upon the rear panel DIP switch setting and the Slave supplies shall operate in the RS485 serial mode.

7.4.3 MD Mode SRQ

In MD Mode the SRQ generated by the supply is replaced by a single byte SRQ sent two times in sequence. The SRQ byte, in binary, will contain the address of the supply in the least significant 5 bits with bits 5 and 6 set to logic zero and bit 7 set to logic 1. Ref. Table 7-4.

7.4.4 Communication Collisions

In MD Mode it is possible to have one supply issue an SRQ while another supply is transmitting data/response to a command. When this happens, the HOST PC will receive garbled data and assume that the data/response was corrupted and thus re-send the command - the SRQ will probably be lost. The method of recovery will be SRQ retransmission, Ref. Section 7.4.5, or polling all attached supplies to see who issued the SRQ - available by reading the SEVE? Register.

7.4.5 MD Mode SRQ Retransmission

The supply can be commanded to retransmit the SRQ at regular intervals until it is answered to by the HOST PC (Ref. Section 7.10.2.4). The retransmission interval is 10 ms plus the supply address multiplied by 20 ms.

1. In Advanced parallel mode (refer to Sec. 5.15.2), “n” is the total system current.

2. In Advanced parallel mode, “MC?” returns the Master unit current multiplied by the number of slave units +1.

7.9 GLOBAL OUTPUT COMMANDS

7.9.1 GENERAL

All supplies, even if not the currently addressed supply, receiving a global command will execute the command. No response to the PC issuing the command will be returned to the PC. The PC issuing the command will be responsible to delay and any other communications until the command is execute. 200 Ms minimum is the suggested delay. If the command contains an error, out of range values for example, no error report will be sent to the issuing PC.

Table 7-3

GRST Reset. Brings the power supply to a safe and known state:

Output voltage: 0V, output current: 0A, OUT: Off, Remote: RMT 1, AST: Off OVP: Max, UVL: 0. The conditional register (FLT and STAT) are updated. Other registers are not

changed. Non-Latching faults (FB, OVP, SO) are cleared, OUT fault stays

GPV n Sets the output voltage value in volts. The range of voltage values is shown in

Table 7-5. ‘n’ may be up to 12 char plus dec. pt

GPC n Program the output current value in amperes. The range of current values is

shown in Table 7-6. ‘n’ may be up to 12 char plus dec. pt

GOUT

Turns the output to ON or OFF: “OUT 1/ON” = turn on “OUT 0/OFF” = turnoff, clears CV and CC bits in the Status Condition (STAT). OUT ON will respond with “E07’ if the output cannot be turned on because of a latching fault (OTP< AC, ENA, SO) shutdown.

GSAV

Save present settings. Same settings as power-down last settings listed in Error! Reference source not found. Except the address and Baud rate are not saved

Saves to the RAM. These settings are erased when the supply power is switched off and the new ‘last settings’ are saved.

GRCL Recall last settings. Settings are from last power-

‘GSAV’ command. Address and Baud rate are not recalled so communication is not interrupted.

7.10 SINGLE BYTE COMMANDS

7.10.1 General

Single byte commands are commands in which all the necessary data for the supply to act upon is contained in a single byte. Single byte commands will be executed immediately by the supply. If the command requires data to be sent to the HOST PC or IEEE Board (see sections 7.10.4 and 7.10.3.1) that response will be transmitted immediately with no delay due to any software overhead. With the exception of the Disconnect from communications command, section

7.10.3.1, commands must be sent by the HOST PC or IEEE Board 2 times in sequence for verification. Alll have the most significant bit, D7, set to a logic 1. A CR, carriage return, character is not included in a single byte command. The RST command will not change any setting made by a single byte command. All Single Byte commands will be executed in 1 ms or less. This does not include any response sent to the HOST/IEEE Board, which is dependent upon the response length and the serial transmission speed (Baud rate).

7.10.2 Global commands without response

7.10.2.1 Disable MD Mode (MD MODE OPTION REQUIRED)

Disable is the default condition upon power up. The Hex value of the command is 0xA0. Send it two times in sequence. All supplies, both the currently addressed supply and all non-addressed supplies, will disable MD Mode as a result of this command.

7.10.2.2 Enable MD Mode (MD MODE OPTION REQUIRED)

Send to enable Multi Drop Mode. The Hex value of the command is 0xA1. Sent it two times in sequence. When this command is sent, the supply will set SRQ retransmission to the disable state; if you wish it to be enabled you must send the enable command. All supplies, both the currently addressed supply and all non-addressed supplies, will enable MD Mode as a result of this command.

7.10.2.3 Disable SRQ retransmission (MD MODE OPTION REQUIRED)

Disable is the default condition upon power up. The Hex value of the command is 0xA2. Sent it two times in sequence. If the supply sends an SRQ it will only sent it 1 time. All supplies, both the currently addressed supply and all non-addressed supplies, will disable SRQ retransmission as a result of this command. All status registers will retain their data when this command is sent.

7.10.2.4 Enable SRQ retransmission (MD MODE OPTION REQUIRED)

Enable retransmission of SRQs. This is only available when the Multi Drop Mode is enabled in the supply. The Hex value of the command is 0xA3. Send it two times in sequence. If the supply sends an SRQ it will be repeated on a timely basis, 10 ms plus 20 ms times the supply address, until answered. All supplies, both the currently addressed supply and all non-addressed supplies, will enable SRQ retransmission as a result of this command.

7.10.2.5 Enable FLT Bit in the SENA Register

The Hex value of the command is 0xA4. Send it two times in sequence.

83-507-5002 Rev. B

7.10.3 Global commands with response

7.10.3.1 Disconnect from communications

Command the supply to end all data transmissions to the HOST PC/IEEE Board and cease its role as the active addressed supply. The HOST PC/IEEE Board will be required to re-send the ‘ADR nn’ command to reestablish communications with the supply. After receiving the first command the supply will respond with an OK<CR>. The Hex value of the command is 0xBF. All supplies, both the currently addressed supply and all non-addressed supplies, will respond to this command; but only the currently addressed supply (if any) will respond with the ‘OK’.

7.10.4 Addressed commands with response

7.10.4.1 Read registers

Send (0x80 + Address) (1 byte binary - send 2 times sequentially). The supply will return the contents of the Status Condition Register, the Status Enable Register, the Status Event Register (SEVE?), the Fault Condition Register, the Fault Enable Register and the Fault Event Register IFEVE/). All registers will be represented in two Hex bytes. Following the register data, a single dollar sign, $, will be added to signal the end of data and the start of a checksum. The checksum will be the sum of all register data and will be represented in two Hex bytes. The transmission will end with the CR character. If repetitive sending of SRQs was active and the supply was sending them, the supply will stop sending repetitive SRQs but leave the function active. The contents of the registers will not be destroyed. Note that the supply does snot have to be the active addressed supply. Note that this command will not execute if another command is being processed.

7.10.4.2 Print Power On Time

Print the total time the supply has operated under AC power. Send 2 bytes in sequence, A6 Hex and the address of the supply in binary. A 32 bit integer will be returned in 8 Hex bytes. The data will be the number of minutes that power has been ‘ON’ in the supply in binary. A ‘$’ sign and 2 byte Hex checksum will be appended to the data. There is no method provided to reset this number. Retransmit last message. Send (0xC0 + Address) (1 byte binary - send 2 times sequentially). The supply will return the last message sent. Note that the supply does not have to be the active addressed supply. This command will not execute if another command is being processed. Note that Single byte commands do not load data into the supply’s data output buffer. Thus this command will not cause the supply to retransmit data obtained from any previous Single Byte Command.

7.10.4.3 Retransmit Last Message

Send (0xC0 + Address) (1 byte binary - send 2 times sequentially). The supply will return the last message sent. Note that the supply does not have to be the active addressed supply. This command will not execute if another command is being processed. Note that Single byte commands do not load data into the supply’s data output buffer. Thus this command will not cause the supply to retransmit data obtained from any previous Single Byte Command.

7.10.4.4 Test if MD Mode is Installed

Send AA Hex followed by the address of the supply in binary. If not installed, the supply will return a ‘1’. If installed, the supply will return a ‘0’.

7.10.5 Addressed commands without response

7.10.5.1 Acknowledge SRQ

Send (0xE0 + Address) (1 byte binary - send 2 times sequentially). The supply will stop resending SRQ. If Enable SRQ retransmission is active, it will remain active.

7.10.5.2 Re-enable SRQ with out reading/clearing the SEVE Register

Send A5 Hex followed by the address of the supply in binary and new SRQ’s generated by new events in the Fault Event will be enabled without reading and clearing the Status Event Register. All events previously recorded in the Fault Event Register must have been serviced by the user’s software prior to this command to take effect.

CHAPTER 8 ISOLATED ANALOG PROGRAMMING OPTION

8.1 INTRODUCTION

Isolated Analog Programming is an internal Option Card for analog programming of the GenesysTM power supply series. The option is factory installed and cannot be obtained with a GPIB (IEEE-488) Interface. Output Voltage and Output Current can be programmed and readback through optically isolated signals which are isolated from all other ground references in the power supply.

There are two types of Isolated Analog programming cards:

1. 0-5V/0-10V option (PN: IS510): Using 0-5V or 0-10V signals for programming and readback.

2. 4-20mA option (PN: IS420): Using current signals for programming and readback.

CHAPTER 9 MAINTENANCE

9.1 INTRODUCTION

This Chapter provides information about maintenance, calibration and troubleshooting.

9.2 UNITS UNDER WARRANTY

Units requiring repair during the warranty period should be returned to a TDK-Lambda Americas Inc. authorized service facility. Refer to the addresses listing on the back cover of this User’s Manual. Unauthorized repairs performed by other than the authorized service facilities may void the warranty.

9.3 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

No routine maintenance of the power supply is required except for periodic cleaning. To clean, disconnect the unit from the AC supply and allow 30sec. For discharging internal voltages. The front panel and the metal surfaces should be cleaned using a mild solution of detergent and water. The solution should be applied onto a soft cloth, and not directly to the surface of the unit. Do not use aromatic hydocarbons or chlorinated solvents for cleaning. Use low pressure compressed air to blow dust from the unit.

9.4 ADJUSTMENTS AND CALIBRATION

No internal adjustment or calibration is required. There is NO REASON to open the power supply cover.

9.5 PARTS REPLACEMENT AND REPAIRS

As repairs are made only by the manufacturer or by authorized service facilities, no parts replacement information is provided in the manual. In case of failure, unusual or erratic operation of the unit, contact a TDK-Lambda Americas Inc. sales or service facility nearest you. Please refer to the TDK-Lambda Americas Inc. sales offices addresses listing on the back cover of this User’s Manual.

9.6 TROUBLESHOOTING

If the power supply appears to be operating improperly, use the Troubleshooting Guide (Table 9-

1) to determine whether the power supply, load or external control circuit are the cause. Configure the power supply for basic front panel operation and perform the tests of Section 3.8 to

determine if the problem is with the supply. Table 9-1 provides the basic checks that can be performed to diagnose problems, with refer-

ences to Sections of this User’s Manual for further information. Table 9-1: Troubleshooting guide
