Local Sensing (Factory Default); Remote Sensing Select; Analog I/O Connections; Trigger Connections - KEPCO BOP 1KW-MG Series Quick Start Manual

It is critical that configurations comprised of BOP, load,
and external programming devices, have a single
earth-ground point. Observe the following caution and
refer to the applicable BOP 1KW-MG Operator Manual
for earth-ground
observe this caution will void the warranty!
CAUTION: Never connect both the load
!
terminal tied to the BOP COM terminal
and the programming device common
to earth-ground. This compromises
accuracy and will cause catastrophic
damage to the BOP if the connection
between BOP COM and the load termi-
nal tied to earth-ground is lost.

LOCAL SENSING (FACTORY DEFAULT).

Unit is shipped with local sensing links installed: OUT S
connected to OUT MON and COM MON connected to
COM S (see Figure 4A).

REMOTE SENSING SELECT.

factory-installed local sensing links between OUT S
and OUT MON and between COM MON and COM S.
Then connect the OUT S and COM S lines at the load
(see Figure 4B) using #22 AWG wire, twisted pair.

ANALOG I/O CONNECTIONS.

Port connector, located on the rear panel of the BOP
1KW power supply (see Figure 3), provides access to
analog programming inputs which can control the
mode of operation (voltage or current), output voltage
or current, and establish positive and negative voltage
and current limits. An output analog corresponding to
output current is also provided. Refer to Operator's
manual for details.

TRIGGER CONNECTIONS.

(see Figure 3) provides for an external trigger input for
use with SCPI *TRG and TRIG commands. Refer to
Operator's manual for details.

GPIB CONNECTIONS (MG SUFFIX).

computer must have a GPIB interface card installed.
Connect the power supply to the computer's GPIB
interface card. Use a standard GPIB interface cable at
the GPIB port on the rear panel (see Figure 3).

LAN CONNECTIONS (ME SUFFIX ONLY).

Connect the BOP 1KW to a Microsoft Windows-based
to
computer via the LAN connector (see Figure 3). Use a
standard ethernet cable whether using a router or hub,
or connecting the BOP 1KW directly to a computer.
The BOP 1KW-ME is Auto-MDI-X enabled and does
not require a crossover cable for direct connection. For
Unix and Safari connections see full Operator Manual

FINDING KEPCO POWER SUPPLIES ON THE LAN.

The PS Find utility can be downloaded from the Kepco
web site at:
www.kepcopower.com/drivers/drivers-dl3.htm#bop1k
This utility finds all operational Kepco power supplies
connected to the LAN and then shows the MAC and IP
addresses of the models found.
To run the utility from your PC download the psfind.zip
file to your computer. Extract psfind.exe from the zip
file to a location of your choice, then double-click
psfind.exe to run the application. A separate window
opens as shown in Figure 1. Once the search is com-
pleted, all found units are displayed in the Select a Unit
window (the MAC address appears in parentheses). If
you do not see your device in the Select a Unit window
or if the icon to the left of the selected instrument is red
(not green), make sure it is turned on and connected to
the network, then click the Search Again button.
