1. Preface 1.1 Products Outline B&K Precision models XLN3640/XLN6024/XLN8018/XLN10014 are programmable DC power supplies with single outputs that offer the maximum power output up to 1440 watts (0 -- 36 V/40 A or 0 -- 60 V/24 A or 0 -- 80 V/18 A or 0 -- 100 V/14.4 A). With a 16-bit D/A, A/D converter embedded, the power supplies come with the resolution of 1mV in voltage setting and 1mA in current setting.

6. Remote Interface communication protocol The communication protocol includes standard SCPI commands and a few proprietary commands which follow the SCPI convention. 6.1 Prefaces The SCPI interface enables users to operate the model XLN3640/XLN6024/XLN8018/XLN10014 supply through a computer or a terminal equipped with IEEE-488.2 GPIB or USB interface. Additionally, it allows remote control and monitoring. SCPI IEEE-488.
characters at the end of each command when programming. 6.3 The Error/Event List SCPI interface can offer an error/event list that contains up to 10 errors/events. Users can read the errors/events through the “error?” command in a first-in first-out manner. Once an error/event is read, the read process will clear it from the memory. To clear all errors/events from the memory, the “*CLS” command is used.

6.6 State Bit Definition When “STATE?” command is used, the system will return three (3) bytes in the order as shown below.
6.7 LAN Communication (-GL verions) XLN series power supplies provide three LAN control modes, including Web server, Telnet and Sockets. First, enter the first Item “System Setting” on the menu to set the interface selection (Remote Control) to Ethernet. Then, select IP setting procedure as Static or use DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). If using static IP, an IP address is required to complete setup.
Setting Page (Configuration) This page allows you to setup protection settings and reset/setup password for the system.
Status Page (Status) Display the status of the system. If any error codes are shown, please refer to “Error/Event list” section for details. Web Control This page allows user to set up voltage/current and output. Additionally, the display will allow monitoring of the output voltage/current value (JAVA support is required for display).
Using Telnet The power supply can be controlled via Telnet over the Ethernet interface. Simply go into command prompt under MS-DOS and enter: Telnet 5024 ( is IP address of the unit; 5024 is the Telnet port). A welcome message will be shown as below: Input SCPI command to communicate with the system, such as below: Using Sockets All XLN series use port 5025 to provide the standard function for SCPI socket.
7. Assemble Accessories 7.1 Assemble Rack Mount Brackets The XLN3640/XLN6024/XLN8018/XLN10014 is designed to fit in a space of one rack unit (1U) and can be mounted in a standard 19-inch rack panel or cabinet. Rack mount brackets must be assembled before mounting the unit in a rack. Refer to the following figure to assemble the rack mount brackets.
7.2 Assembly of Output Protective Cover (XLN6024/XLN8018/XLN10014) Safety regulation requests protective cover when the output voltage is higher than 45 VDC. Therefore, there are protective covers for the output connectors for the XLN6024/XLN8018/XLN10014. Refer to the following figure for the assembly/disassembly of the output protective cover.
7.3 Assembly of Remote Sense Protective Cover (XLN6024/XLN8018/XLN10014) Safety regulation requests protective cover when the voltage is higher than 45 VDC. Therefore, there are protective covers for the remote sense connectors for the XLN6024/XLN8018/XLN10014. Refer to the following figure for the assembly/disassembly of the remote sense protective cover.
