Ext. Control: Ethernet (LAN) RROR An error is set, if the unit has been shut down by OVP. To reset this error, the standby mode must be activated. EXT. CONTROL: ETHERNET (LAN) To communicate with the LAB/HP via network, it is necessary to find the IP device first. In delivery status, the device automatically draws an IP from the network. In its practical operation, this behavior is unfavorable, because after each activation the device has a new IP address. Therefore, to each device an individual, permanent IP address should be assigned. The easiest way to check the IP of the device is by starting latronix device installer software. Click “search”. Now your network gets scanned for devices. You can see the device and its IP address. You can also find the IP by typing “arp ‐a” in the command prompt in windows. Check the MAC address of the device (label on the device or in calibration protocol). The IP on the left side of the MAC address is the current IP of the device. <STB> <*STB?> The status word can be read with the command or . Only bits from D0 up to D2 are in use.

Controller Improper adjustment of the controller can lead to controller oscillations which may damage connected devices! ONTROL TRUCTURE SIM ODE AND SER The current set point is calculated from the output voltage and a table. This set point stands for the input signal of the PID controller after it was subtracted from the actual value. The PID controller releases the current set point for the power supply. The current set point is limited to the short circuit current, as a maximum. The voltage set point of the power supply is permanently set to the open circuit voltage of the table. In PVsim mode the current is regulated while the voltage is fixed. ONTROL TRUCTURE The output voltage is multiplied with the output current. The result is subtracted from the power set point. This signal is the input signal of the PID controller, which releases the current set point for the power supply. The current set point is limited to the current set point, as a maximum.

Master/Slave Mode (M/S Mode) The circuit breaker (S_power) must be closed when starting before the Sens (S_sens). When switching off, the Sens must first be opened and then the circuit breaker can be opened. Otherwise, a current flow may occur across the sensing line, and this may be particularly critical when disconnecting. OAD ISTRIBUTION WITHOUT ENSOR ONDUCTOR To ensure a proper use, a central load distribution situation is essential. Illustration 2 shows a correct load distribution. Illustration 1 shows an insufficient supply of load 2, load 3 etc. via parallel load conductors. In practice, it may occur that an optimal distribution is not possible.

Appendix APPENDIX 0701 QUIVALENT LEAKAGE CURRENT MEASUREMENT ACCORDING TO The equivalent leakage current measuring according to DIN VDE 0701‐1 may deliver results beyond the norm. Cause: Measurements are primarily performed on so‐called EMC‐filters at the AC input of the units. These filters are built symmetrical, that means capacitors are installed between L1/2/3 and PE. While measuring, L1, L2 and L3 are connected together and the current flow to PE is measured. Therefore up to 3 capacitors are connected parallel which doubles or triples the measured leakage current. This is permissible according to the norm. Quotation from the norm of 2008, appendix D: „When measuring protection conductor currents with the equivalent leakage current measuring method, it is important to note that devices with protective grounds and symmetrical circuits may have results, due to the wiring, that are up to three or four times higher than the leakage current of one phase.“...

At this example the switching frequency of the converter was 80kHz (this is also the switching frequency of the LAB/HP and LAB/SMS series).The red line shows the measured ripple by using a bandwidth of 20MHz and the blue line shows the measured ripple by using a measure bandwidth of 300kHz. This example shows that the measurement bandwidth have a strong influence of the measurement result. The spike or noise of the ripple will generate by the switching noise of the power supply. The spikes which will be measured strongly depend on the used measurement method. One point is the using measurement bandwidth the other point is the test setup. The influence of the measurement method is show at picture 4. Picture 3 show the previous know circuit and also the same circuit with some ...

Pratical Rippel Measurment. ET‐System measured the ripple with the test setup how is show at picture 5. Tow high voltage capacitor in serie with a 10k Ohm resistor is use to measured only the AC‐Component of the output voltage of the power supply. The circuit have tow output. Output 1 have a measurment bandwith of 20MHz and output 2 have a bandwith of 300kHz. This rippel circuit was build at the labortory and was tuned by using a frequency analyser (Bode 100). Also the used 1:1 Oscilloscope probe was during the tuning procedure connectet to the rippel measurment setup to elemenate the influence of the probe to the measurment bandwith. Picture 6 show the result of frequency analyses of the tuning measurement. Point 1 shows the 3dB point of the 300kHz output. Point 2 show the 20MHz point. -100 f/Hz TR1: Mag(Gain) Memory 1 : Mag(Gain) Memory 2 : Mag(Gain) 50 ET System electronic GmbH ...
