Section 1. Features and Specifications Description The Analog Programming (APG) Interface is an internal option card for analog programming of XT and HPD Series DC power supplies with a 0-10Vdc programming source or a 0-10kΩ resistance. A 25-pin female DSUB connector on the unit's rear panel enables connections to the card. Features • • • • • • • Programming output voltage and/or current limit using a 0-10Vdc programming source or a 0-10kΩ resistance. Externally adjustable offset and range.
Section 1.
Section 2. Installation and Configuration Introduction We usually install the APG interface in a power supply at the factory. Your local distributor or service center can also install the interface, especially for use in a previously-purchased supply already on site. Initial Inspection ! CAUTION If you remove the unit's cover, use proper static control techniques to avoid damage to static-sensitive components on the printed circuit board. On first receiving your unit, perform a quick physical check.
Section 2. Installation and Configuration Configuring Configuring Configure and adjust the analog programming interface installed in your XT or HPD DC power supply as indicated in this section. The front panel LEDs indicate when V or I programming is selected (PGM), when TTL shutdown has occurred (S/D), and when the supply exceeds the voltage trip point OVP). You can adjust the OVP right at the front panel.
Section 2. Installation and Configuration Configuring Rear Panel Figure 2.2 XT/HPD Rear Panel with APG Interface Rear Panel Table 2.1 Rear Panel Switch S1 Default Settings Switch (S1) Setting Function Defaults S1-1 TTL Shutdown Logic Select (OPEN=negative logic, CLOSED=positive logic) S1-2 Resistive Current Program Select S1-3 Remote Current Program Select S1-4 Resistive Voltage Program Select S1-5 Remote Voltage Program Select S1-6 Tracking Select Default: Local control (all switches OPEN).
Section 2. Installation and Configuration Rear Panel J5 Connector Rear Panel J5 Connector Make analog interface connections via the rear panel 25-pin female DSUB connector designated J5. To provide the lowest noise performance, we recommend you use shielded-twisted pair wiring for making connections from external circuits to the J5 connector. Use the shortest leads possible. Ground the shield to pin 6 (auxiliary ground) on the J5 connector or to the chassis via one of the J5 connector screws.
Section 2. Installation and Configuration Calibration Adjustment Calibration Adjustment You can access most calibration potentiometers through the top of the unit, see Figure 2.3. The exceptions are Voltage Program OFFSET and RANGE which are on the unit's rear panel which can be seen on Figure 2.2. Figure 2.3 APG Interface Calibration Adjustment Locations Release 1.
Section 2.
Section 3. Operation Remote Programming Remote programming allows control of the power supply's output voltage and/or current limit to shift from local operation at the front panel voltage and current controls to external analog input sources. As you vary the programming source, the power supply's output varies proportionally over its output range. When you select remote voltage programming, the voltage control knob on the front panel will not work.
Section 3. Operation Remote Programming 3. Vary the external voltage from 0-10Vdc to cause the power supply output to vary from 0-100% of rated output voltage. You may set the power supply's output current limit using another source or the front panel current limit control. Note:Access the zero offset adjustment through the rear panel hole labelled OFFSET. Access the full scale calibration adjustment through the rear panel hole labelled RANGE. See Figure 2.2, pg. 15. Programming 1.
Section 3. Operation Remote Programming Programming 1. Select remote current programming by external resistance by moving the rear Output panel switch S1-3 (remote current program select) to the ON (closed) position. Current with Or, connect J5 pin 8 (remote current program select) to J5 pin 6 (auxiliary a 0-10k ground). As these two control functions are wired in parallel, they function as a Resistance logic OR. 2. Set rear panel switch S1-2 (resistive current program select) to the ON (closed) position.
Section 3. Operation Readback and Status Indicators Readback and Status Indicators Voltage and Voltage Readback Current • Connect a meter between J5 connector pin 19 (voltage readback) and either pin Readback 4 or 5 (program return). Range: 0-10V = 0-100% full rated voltage output of power supply Current Readback • Connect a meter between J5 connector pin 18 (current readback) and either pin 4 or 5 (program return).
Section 3. Operation Overvoltage Protection (OVP) Overvoltage Protection (OVP) The OVP circuit is designed to protect the load in the event of a remote programming error, incorrect voltage control adjustment, or power supply failure. The protection circuit monitors the output and reduces the output voltage and current to zero whenever a preset voltage limit is exceeded. A red LED on the front panel indicates when the OVP circuit has been activated. Set the OVP trip level at the front panel.
Section 3. Operation TTL Shutdown TTL Shutdown TTL Shutdown allows the output of the power supply to be disabled by a logic level signal. This input is optically isolated from the power supply output and will withstand a highpot test potential of 600Vac minimum. When TTL shutdown is activated, the front panel LED comes on. • • Connect the signal source between J5 connector pins 15 (TTL shutdown/positive) and 2 (TTL shutdown return/negative).
Section 3. Operation Tracking Tracking For tracking +/- outputs, use the following set-up: • • • Set slave unit rear panel switch S1-5 (remote voltage program select) and switch S1-6 (tracking select) to ON (closed). Connect master return (J5 connector pins 12, 13, or 24) to slave +OUT (J5 connector pins 10, 11, or 23). Connect master +OUT (J5 connector pins 10, 11, or 23) to slave voltage program input (J5 connector pin 17). Notes: 1. Master/slave power supplies must have the same output ratings. 2.
