* Parallel operation (Master/Slave) with Active current sharing.
* Remote sensing to compensate for voltage drop of power leads.
* External Analog Programming and Monitoring standard (0-5V or 0-10V, user selectable).
* Cooling fan speed control for low noise and extended fan life.
* Zero stacking- no ventillation holes at the top and bottom surface of the power supply.
* Optional GPIB interface (SCPI compatible).
* Optional Isolated Analog programming/monitoring (0-5V or 0-10V, user selectable
and 4-20mA).
1.2.4 Multiple output power system
TM
The Genesys
power supplies series can be configured into a programmable power
system of up to 31 units using the built-in RS232/RS485 communication port in the power
supply and the RS485 linking cable provided with each power supply.
In a GPIB system, each power supply can be controlled using the optional GPIB controller
(factory installed).
1.2.5 Control via the serial communication port
The following parameters can be programmed via the serial communication port:
1. Output voltage setting.
2. Output current setting.
3. Output voltage measurement.
4. Output on/off control.
5. Output current measurement.
6. Foldback protection setting.
7. Over-voltage protection setting and readback.
8. Under-Voltage limit setting and readback.
9. Power-supply start up mode (last setting or safe mode)
1.2.6 Analog voltage programming and monitoring
Analog inputs and outputs are provided at the rear panel for analog control of the power
supply. The output voltage and the current limit can be programmed by analog voltage or by
resistor, and can be monitored by analog voltage. The power supply output can be remotely
set to On or Off and analog signals monitor the proper operation of the power supply and the
mode of operation (CV/CC).
1.2.7 Parallel operation
TM
Genesys power supplies of the same output voltage and current rating can be paralleled in
master-slave configuration with automatic current sharing to increase power available.
1.2.8 Output connections
Output connections are made to rear panel bus-bars for models up to 100V and to a 4-
terminal wire clamp connector for models above 100V rated output voltage. Either the
positive or negative terminal may be grounded or the output may be floated. 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. Contact factory for assistance with higher float voltage
applications.
Local or remote sense may be used. In remote sense, the voltage drop on the load wires
should be minimized. Refer to the specifications for the maximum voltage drop value.
