CHAPTER 6 REMOTE ANALOG PROGRAMMING
6.1 INTRODUCTION
The rear panel connector J1 allows the user to program the power supply output voltage and current
limit with an analog device. J1 also provides monitoring signals for output voltage and output current.
The programming range and monitoring signals range can be selected between 0-5V or 0-10V
using the setup switch SW1. When the power supply is in Remote Analog programming, the serial
communication port is active and can be used to read the power supply parameters.
CAUTION
COM (J1-12), VPGM_RTN (J1-22) and IPGM_ RTN (J1-23) terminals of J1
are referenced to the -Vout potential (-V). Do not connect these terminals to
any potential other than -Vout (-V), as it may damage the power supply.
6.2 LOCAL /REMOTEANALOG CONTROL
Contact 8ofJ1 (Fig. 4-2, item 5) accepts TTL signal or Open-Short contact (referenced to J1-12) to
select between Local or Remote Analog programming of the output voltage and current limit.
In Local mode, the output voltage and current limit can be programmed via the front panel VOLTAGE
and CURRENT encoders or via the RS232/485 port. In Remote Analog mode, the output voltage
and current limit can be programmedby analog voltage or by programming resistors via J1 contacts
9 and 10 (refer to sec. 6.4 and 6.5). Refer to Table 6-1 for Local/Remote Analog control (J1-8)
function and Setup switch SW1-1, 2 setting.
6.3 LOCAL/REMOTEANALOGINDICATION
Contact 21 of J1 (Fig. 4-2, item 5) is an open collector output that indicates if the power supply is in
Local mode or in Remote Analog mode. To use this output, connect a pull-up resistor toavoltage
source of 30Vdc maximum.Choose the pull-up resistor so that the sink current will be less than 5mA
when the output is in low state. Refer to Table 6-2 for J1-21 function.
