Monitoring Your Master/Slave System
There are three options for monitoring your Pinnacle Plus+ units while in a master/
slave configuration, depending on your unit’s features. These options are as follows:
• If you have a passive front panel or remote passive panel attached to your master
unit, you can view the combined output of your master/slave system (power or
current). The passive front panel of each slave unit displays the individual unit's
output. For more information, see the “I/O Communication and Control” chapter.
• If you have an active front panel or Pinnacle Plus+ Remote Active Panel attached
to your master unit, you can monitor the output (power, current, or voltage) of
your system and the output of each individual unit. For more information, see the
“I/O Communication and Control” chapter.
• If you have a host computer connected to a serial port on your master unit, you
can monitor the output (power, current, or voltage) of your system and the output
of each individual unit.
CLEARING FAULTS IN A MASTER/SLAVE SYSTEM
If a slave unit experiences a self-clearing fault, both the master and slave units display
an error code and the master unit shuts off output from all attached power supplies.
When the fault condition clears, the master and slave units reset. You may then turn
on output.
If a slave unit experiences an explicit clear fault, both the master and slave units
display an error code and the master unit shuts off output from all attached power
supplies. When the fault condition clears, you must acknowledge the condition at the
master unit before turning on output. (For example, you must press the OFF button to
acknowledge the condition and then the ON button to turn on output.)
The following table describes some of the errors you might encounter with a Pinnacle
Plus+ master/slave system.
