  • Page 6: Safety Instructions

    In addition to the manual and the applicable safety regulations in the country and at the site of operation, pay attention to the usual technical procedures for safe and competent work. The CMS 356 must be operated by trained personnel only. Any maloperation can result in injury to persons and/or damage to property.

  • Page 7: Rules For Use

    Rules for use • CMS 356 must be used only when in a technically sound condition. Its use must be in accordance with the safety regulations for the specific job site and application. Always be aware of the dangers of high voltages.

  • Page 8: Introduction

    Introduction The CMS 356 is a voltage and current amplifier for analog low level signals or sampled values provided by a CMC test set or by any other signal source, such as a digital real-time power system simulator. When used in combination with a CMC test set, the amplifier extends the capabilities of the CMC test set to provide additional output channels and higher amplitudes.

  • Page 9: First Steps To Get Started

    1. Exit all major programs running on your computer. 2. Insert the DVD into your computer’s DVD drive and click Install CMS 356 Software on the start page. Should the start page not appear automatically a few seconds after the DVD has been inserted into the DVD drive, change to Windows Explorer and, on the DVD, double-click autorun.exe.

  • Page 16 CMS 356 The following example, based on “Present configuration”, introduces you the CMS 356 configuration. The configuration panes, when collapsed, show summary settings. The yellow bar that appears on the top is the Notification bar. To expand a pane, click the on its header.
  • Page 17 First steps to get started Voltage outputs To configure the voltage outputs: 1. Expand the Voltage outputs pane. 2. Turn on Enable voltage outputs. 3. From the list, select the appropriate voltage configuration. In this example, 3x300V, 50VA @ 75V, 660mArms, VE automatically calculated.
  • Page 18 CMS 356 Current outputs To configure the current outputs: 1. Expand the Current outputs pane. 2. Turn on Enable current outputs. 3. (Optional) Filter the configurations list using the Filter. In this example, 64 A. 4. From the list, select the appropriate current configuration. In this example, 3x64A, 860VA @ 50V, 25Vrms.
  • Page 19 Since residual voltage (VE) and residual current (IE) are automatically calculated from V1, V2, V3 and I1, I2, I3, they do not appear in the mapping table. Applying changes To send the changed configuration to the CMS 356, on the Notification bar, click Apply. After a short self-test, the new configuration becomes effective.

    CMS 356 3.5.2 Part 2: Test Universe Hardware Configuration When you extend a CMC test set with a CMS 356 amplifier, use the Test Universe Hardware Configuration to configure your test setup. NOTE Amplifier configuration files on the CMS 356 installation DVD The CMS 356 installation DVD includes a file containing amplifier configurations for the Test Universe Hardware Configuration.
  • Page 21 The amplifier’s analog input range is 5 Vrms, thus the amplification factor is 300 V/5 V = 60 V/V. Propagation delay The propagation delay of a CMS 356 amplifier is 500 µs. The propagation phase 1-3 delay is factory-calibrated and identical for all units.

  • Page 22: Troubleshooting

    How to proceed in case of operational problems There are several options to handle operational problems with CMS 356: 1. Check whether your problem is documented on chapter 4.2 ”Device Link does not list your CMS 356 as “Ready”” on page 23.

  • Page 23: Device Link Does Not List Your Cms 356 As "Ready

    4. If you are using an Ethernet connection, swap to USB, or vice versa. Then try again. 5. If possible, replace your CMS 356 by another one. This is to find out whether the problem is related or not to the actual CMS 356.
