Analog Dual Control; Parallel Mode; Series Mode; Mode Transitions Commanded From Front Panel - Advanced Energy iLS600 Series User Manual

SECTION 1

1.0.6 Analog Dual Control

In Analog Dual Control mode, the output current setpoint is provided by the Analog Current
input to the Interface board and the output voltage setpoint is provided by the Analog
Voltage input to the Interface board. Limited SCPI command capability is provided. The
front panel Voltage and Current control knobs are disabled and the Enable button is
recognized only to enter Setup or to activate/deactivate the output. Note that in both OFF
and ON states, the screen displays the current mode in the upper right corner.

1.0.7 Parallel Mode

In parallel mode the analog output is activated and this output is proportional to the output
current of the power supply. When this output voltage is fed to one or more analog inputs of
other supplies and the analog inputs of those supplies are set for Analog Current Control
the supplies will share current equally.

1.0.8 Series Mode

In series mode the analog output is activated and this output is proportional to the output
voltage of the power supply. When this output voltage is fed to one or more analog inputs of
other supplies and the analog inputs of those supplies are set for Analog Voltage Control
the supplies will match output voltages.
