In General Features The PSC-ETH-2 is an interface between a TCP/IP network and a Power Supply. It allows the operator to create fully automated systems. The PSC-ETH-2 can set and measure the parameters of the power supply, read the status, set controls, interact with digital I/O and generate waveforms, stored in memory. It is even possible to take over tasks from a PLC.
PSC-ETH-2 Digital I/O The SM800, SM1500, SM6000 and the external PSC-ETH-2 provide 8 user inputs and 8 outputs. These can be controlled / monitored by commands (refer to chapter 5) or can be used to interact with the Sequencer (refer to chapter 6) to make the power supply act like a power PLC.
PSC-ETH-2s connected to the network and allows to change it. It also shows the MAC address, the serial number and the identification string (*PUD) of every PSC-ETH-2. By clicking on (one of) the PSC-ETH-2(s), the user can set the IP address, the default gateway and the IP address mask.

Products -> PSC- ETH -> Downloads. Download the new firmware package to the computer. Connect the unit to the above computer via LAN and open the PSC-ETH-2 web interface using an internet browser.
After switching off the unit, the sequences remain on the power supply. Monitor and make settings: - View sequencer name - View if it is loaded as active sequencer - View if it has been build 10 / 38 DELTA ELEKTRONIKA B.V. Preliminary version Dec. 2019...
A bent paperclip can be used to press the internal micro push button. A soft sensible click can be noticed. Press and hold the button for at least 4 seconds in order to activate the default restoring mechanism. 11 / 38 DELTA ELEKTRONIKA B.V. Preliminary version Dec. 2019...
Product Manual PSC-ETH-2 Conventions The PSC-ETH-2 has a command set, which includes commands compatible with the SCPI language (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments). Syntax The command descriptions contain the syntax of the instructions and show the form in which these commands can be sent to the PSC-ETH-2.
Command description General Instructions 6.1.1 *IDN? This command is used to read the identification string of the PSC-ETH-2. The string contains the name, the option number, the version of the firmware and the serial number of the PSC. Syntax: *IDN?<term>...
Default settings are 5V / 5 A. These settings must be changed for correct operation. When the PSC-ETH-2 is built- in by Delta Elektronika B.V., these settings are already done.
Calibrate Subsystem 6.4.1 Introduction To make the accuracy of the PSC-ETH-2 / power supply combination as high as possible, it is required to calibrate the PSC-ETH-2 first. There are eight parameters to calibrate. Four related to the voltage settings / measurements and four related to the current settings / measurements.
To calibrate the programming offset of the voltage setting: Syntax:CAL<sp>3,<NR2><term> To read the calibration settings: Syntax:CAL<sp>3?<term> 6.4.3.5 Calibrate Gain Measure Current To calibrate the gain of the current measurement: Syntax:CAL<sp>4,<NR2><term> To read the calibration settings: Syntax:CAL<sp>4?<term> 16 / 38 DELTA ELEKTRONIKA B.V. Preliminary version Dec. 2019...
6.4.3.8 Calibrate Offset Measure Voltage To calibrate the offset of the voltage measurement: Syntax:CAL<sp>7,<NR2><term> To read the calibration settings: Syntax:CAL<sp>7?<term> 6.4.4 Set B: compatible with PSC-ETH-2 / SM-Series For SOURCE offset calibration, use the equation: = + (pr − ) ...
/ monitored by commands (explained below) or can be used to interact with the Sequencer (refer to chapter 7). 6.5.1 User Outputs To program the user outputs, a decimal number can be send to the PSC-ETH-2. This decimal number represents the binary state of the 8 user outputs. Syntax:UOUTput<sp><0+NR1><term>...
This method provides to switch CV or CC programming individually, so one of the two can be controlled via the PSC-ETH-2 and the other one via the pot-meter on the front panel. Any combination is possible. Hence there are two commands to set the programming source: To set the CV programming source: Syntax:SYSTem:REMote:CV[:STATus]<sp><setting><term>...
Syntax : SYSTem:ERRor?<term> The PSC-ETH-2 returns the first error and clears it from the queue. If there are no errors (so the queue is empty), the result of this query will be : 0,None<term> So after 10 readings of SYSTem:ERRor? the queue is empty for sure, or after using the *CLS command.
The terminator can be chosen for the communication. The terminator is however set to default on a power- on event (ASCII character 0AH, 10d) To set the Terminator: Syntax : SYSTem:COMmunicate:TERminator<sp> <value> <term> value = CR, CRLF or LF 21 / 38 DELTA ELEKTRONIKA B.V. Preliminary version Dec. 2019...
Syntax : STATus:REGister:B?<term> The PSC-ETH-2 will return a decimal number which represents the binary status of the status signals. For example, if the power supply is in CC-mode and signals DC-Fail, the register A condition will be : 66<term>. ( = 2 + 64 ).
PSC-ETH-2 Sequencer Introduction The PSC-ETH-2 includes a subsystem called SEQUENCER. This system can contain max 25 free programmable sequences of 2000 steps each. Sequences are identified by name (max 16 characters, case insensitive). Sequences can be started and stopped by commands (see section 7.3) or by a user input (see section 7.4).
= A, B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I or J DEC stands for Decrement. Can be used in combination with Voltage, Current and Variables. Syntax: DEC<sp><SV>,<NR2> DEC<sp><SC>,<NR2> DEC<sp><#x>,<NR1> x = A, B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I or J 24 / 38 DELTA ELEKTRONIKA B.V. Preliminary version Dec. 2019...
END function included. (It's not necessary to have an END on the last step of the sequence; e.g. after an END the program can have subroutines). Syntax: When a sequence without END function is executed the "Program Open End Error"-bit is set in the Status:Register:B 25 / 38 DELTA ELEKTRONIKA B.V. Preliminary version Dec. 2019...
To read which sequence is selected, send the query: Syntax: PROGram:SELected:NAMe?<term> The PSC-ETH-2 returns the name of the selected sequence, followed by a <term>. Or, in case of no selection, only <term>. Sequence names are not case-sensitive (during selection), but are stored in memory with upper case.
Use the following command to delete all Labels: Syntax: PROGram:SELected:LABel<sp><*>,DELETE<term> 7.3.14 Building a Sequence Before a sequence can be started it has to be build. During a build the PSC-ETH-2 will, for example, check if all used Labels are defined properly. 27 / 38 DELTA ELEKTRONIKA B.V.
PROGram:SAVe<term> A save takes approximately 5 seconds. The current sequence save state can be queried by the command: Syntax: PROGram:SAVe?<term> The PSC-ETH-2 will return the current state. There are three possibilities: 0<term> Sequence not saved yet. 1<term> Sequence is being saved 2<term>...

END is executed. 4th: R (Restore); When the sequence stops, the PSC-ETH-2 restores the voltage and current settings that where valid before the sequence started. H (Hold) When the sequence stops, the actual voltage and current settings remain the same.
In this paragraph a few examples are explained based on typical applications. Every example contains a short description of the application, a flowchart, the list of the required sequence steps and the commands how to upload the sequence into the PSC-ETH-2. 7.6.1 Example 1: Generate waveform.
