Setting Recipes - Advanced Energy Pinnacle 20 kW Manual

Setting Recipes

Use the RECIPE menu to implement a ramping recipe. This function lets you program the
Pinnacle unit to ramp up in incremental steps (1 to 8 steps are possible). For each step, you
must set a ramp time, a setpoint, and a run timer. Ramp time is the amount of time (in seconds)
that the Pinnacle unit takes to ramp up to the setpoint for the specified step. Run timer is the
amount of time (in seconds) for which the Pinnacle unit runs at setpoint for the specified step.
To enable this function, set the number of steps to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8. To disable this
function, set the number of steps to 0.
To set the number of recipe steps, do the following:
1. Press the CONTROL soft key at the main menu.
2. Press the RECIPE soft key.
3. Rotate the MODIFY knob to select a value from 1 through 8.
4. Press ENTER; the display progresses to a series of screens through which you enter ramp
time, setpoint, and run timer for each step.
To set the ramp time, setpoint, and run timer value for each step, do the following:
1. After you have entered a value from 1 through 8 at the # OF STEPS screen (see steps 1
through 2 above), you should be looking at a screen that requests a RAMP TIMER value.
2. Rotate the MODIFY knob to select a value between 0.05 s to 600 s (in 0.01 s increments).
3. Press ENTER; the display progresses to a screen requesting a SETPOINT value.
4. Use the REGULATION key to toggle between power, current and voltage. Use the
MODIFY knob to select a value between 0 and the full rated output of the supply.
5. Press ENTER; the display progresses to a screen requesting a RUN TIMER value.
6. Rotate the MODIFY knob to select a value between 0.00 s to 600 s (in 0.01 s increments).
Note: If your unit has the 100 ms ramp feature, the range is 0 s to 6000.0 s.
7. If you are turning the MODIFY knob slowly, press the appropriate soft key to indicate how
quickly you want the display to increment the value (x10 or x1).
Note: If you turn the MODIFY knob quickly, the counts per click setting takes effect.
8. Press ENTER; if you have indicated that your recipe contains more than one step, the
display returns to the RAMP TIMER screen so that you can enter recipe values for the next
step.
9. Repeat Steps 2 through 7 as needed.
Note: If you assign 0 run time for the final recipe step, the unit will switch to continuous
output when it reaches setpoint for this step. In this situation, to turn off output, you
must send an off command (using the OFF button or the appropriate User port signal or
serial port command) or you must have already programmed a joules setpoint.
