About the device
1. Introduction
The laboratory power supplies of the series PS 8000 DT are
ideally suited for school, laboratory and workshop use because
of their desktop case.
Apart from standard functions of power supplies the user can

the integrated analogue interface, that can handle the common
voltage ranges of 0...5V or 0...10V. This offers a way of easily
monitoring the device as well as total remote control.
The optionally available, digital interface cards provide an even
wider spectrum of control and monitoring functions by means of
a PC. Models from 1000W feature an adjustable power regula-
tion circuit, as well as a „System Bus“ terminal which enables
series connection as master-slave or parallel connection with
share bus.
The integration into existent systems is done very comfortably by
usinganinterfacecard,whilethereisnoneedtocongurethe
card at all or with only a few settings.
Via the analogue interface, a power supply can als be operated in
connection to other power supply units, controlling these via the
interface. Or they can be controlled and monitored by an external
control system, like a PLC.
The devices are microprocessor-controlled and thus delivers fast
and accurate measurement and indication of actual values.
The main functions at a glance:
» Set voltage and current, each with 0...100%
» Adjustable overvoltage threshold 0...110% U
Nom
» Adjustable power 0...100% (models from 1kW)
» Pluggable interface cards
(CAN, USB, RS232, IEEE/GPIB,
Ethernet/LAN)
» Analogue interface for external control and monitoring with
0...5V or 0...10V (selectable) for 0...100%
» Powers of 320W, 640W, 1000W and 1500W
» Temperature controlled fan
» Status indication (OT, OVP, CC, CV, CP)
» 5 selectable memory sets
» Master-Slave operation for series connection (from 1kW)
» Share bus operation for parallel connection (from 1kW)

Actual values of voltage and current are displayed simultaneously,
the set values of the overvoltage threshold, the undervoltage limit,
voltage, current and power (models from 1kW) are displayed
seperately.
