Advanced Energy
1. Configure the unit as a master using the serial communications port command
26, subcommand 1.
2. To enable pulsing, send a valid set of frequency and duty cycle settings to the
Paramount MF 2 kW generator:
◦ Command 93 – pulsing frequency
◦ Command 96 – duty cycle.
3. To disable pulsing, send a value of zero to either the pulsing frequency
command or the duty cycle command.
Serial communications port commands 193 and 196 report the frequency and duty
cycle settings. Serial communications port command 172 reports the slave input
delay setting.
The unit does not save pulsing settings when you turn it off. To return pulsing
settings to default, cycle power to the unit.
If using master/ slave, you do not need to make identical pulsing settings for all units.

SAFE OPERATING AREA (SOA) FEATURE

When enabled, the safe operating area (SOA) feature limits delivered power in
different operating areas based on frequency and Γ. A hardware-controlled loop uses
a lookup table to limit (that is, to foldback) power output to prevent exceeding
programmed limits. This lookup table is stored in flash memory independent of
firmware. The programmed limits in the lookup table are created to specific customer
requirements.
When the SOA feature limits power, the unit sets the protection limit bit and the
warning present bit in the process status. AE Bus commands 162 or 219 read the
process status. The SOA protection warning code 74 is also set. The SOA protection
warning and the process status bits self clear when no longer operating in limiting
conditions.
The SOA feature is enabled/disabled using AE Bus command 118 (subcommand 50).
This feature is not available in all options. See product specification for details.
