(SY1527 or SY2527) and the remote boards in the EASY3000 crate: its role is to configure the EASY3000 channels as if they belong to the supply unit slot in which the branch controller is located. All the channels of the EASY3000 boards will be considered as channels of the branch controller, thus hugely increasing the number of channels the system can handle.
The SY1527 system is the fully equipped experiment version of a new line of power supply systems which represent CAEN's latest proposal in the matter of High Voltage and Low Voltage Power Supplying. This system outlines a completely new approach to...
Title: Revision date: Revision: User's Manual (MUT) EASY3000/4000 Embedded Assembly SYstem 01/09/2005 Power Supply Unit and one board. The system allows also to deal with power supply solutions composed by “branch controllers” (housed in the system main frame) and on- detector “remote boards”...
EASY3000/4000 crate. It configures the EASY3000/4000 channels as if they belong to the slot in which the branch controller is located: the channels of the EASY3000/4000 boards operate as channels of the A1676A.
The A1676A Branch Controller board can control up to six remote crates through the CANbus protocol (250 kbit/sec). Remote crates controlled by the A1676A can house different sets of EASY3000/4000 boards, then it is necessary to configure the Branch Controller firmware through a set up file containing all the information about number, type and position of the boards in remote crates.
The A1676A board can handle, via the CANBUS protocol, up to 6 remote crates in parallel (EASY bus). The remote crates, which can be of two different kinds developed so far, EASY3000 and EASY4000, can house respectively up to 23 and 20 nodes (EASY power supply boards, optional Fan Units and A34xx AC/DC Converters).
The parameters request takes place through cycles, from the first channel of the first board until the last channel of the last board in the crate. 2.4.3 Requested parameters present on EASY3000 LV and HV boards It is possible to distinguish between channel 0 parameters and other channel parameters:...
Such time does not depend on the number of active EASY bus (from 1 to 6) 2.4.5.2 A3009 For example we consider the A3009 board (which is housed inside the EASY3000 crate); such board (1 Board = 1 Node) has 13 channels. The number of parameters per channel is as follows: ch0 7 parameters ch1..12 6 parameters...
The EASY Rack Builder shows six empty EASY crates, by clicking on the “Crate button” (see the arrow in fig. 2.3) it is possible to choose between EASY3000 and EASY4000 crates (according to the crates connected to the A1676A to be configured).

3. EASY3000 and EASY4000 crates EASY3000 crate overview The EASY3000 crate is designed to house Power Supply and ADC boards of EASY3000 family; it supports mechanically EASY boards and distributes control signals and power supplies. It is handled by one of six branches of the A1676A – Branch Controller.

The EASY4000 crate is designed to house some custom PS boards that do not fit into the EASY3000 crates; it supports mechanically up to 9 PS boards and distributes control signals and power supplies. The crate has ten slots: slot 0 (the leftmost) is available for test purposes, while slot 1..9 are suitable to host PS boards.
There are two different ways for connecting the A1676A Branch controller with up to six EASY3000/4000 crates; the first type of connection uses a 50-wires flat cable between the A1676A and the first crate as well as between the subsequent crates, as shown in...

3.3.1 Mod. A3486 AC/DC Converter for Hostile Areas The CAEN Mod. A3486 is a two channel 220/400 Vac – 48 Vdc converter, which allows to integrate into the EASY channels control also the management of the 48 V power supplies. Each channel provides a 2 kW output and can be tracked in order to obtain one 4 kW output.
3.3.2 Mod. A3484 and A3485 AC/DC Converters CAEN can provide 2 types of 48 V power sources (Mod. A3484 and A3485), which allow to integrate into the channels control also the management of the 48 V power supplies. The modules are implemented in a 3U / 19” Euro Rack and have Single (A3484) or Dual (A3485) 48V output.

Safety information and installation requirements General safety information This section contains the fundamental safety rules for the installation and operation of the boards. Read thoroughly this section before starting any procedure of installation or operation of the product.
ON the SY1527 system processor will scan all the slots in the crate to find out where the module is plugged and what kind of module it is. The A1676A must be connected to the EASY3000 remote crates through the control lines. The control connectors are placed on the A1676A front panel and on the EASY3000 front panel.
