Operating the device
8. Device setup
The device setup is intended to set parameters that are not con-
stantly altered. Three elementary settings are always available,
other settings only if a digital interface card is equipped.
The device setup can be accessed while the output is switched
off and by pressing both pushbuttons of the rotary encoders (see
section 6.3) simultaneously >2s.
All digital interface specic settings remain unmodied when
inserting a different card. Thereby, the user don‘t has to setup
the interface cards everytime the type changes.
Following elementary settings are available:
Name: Outp Rstr Default: on
Settings: on, off
Meaning: Output Restore, if set to „on“ it activates the restorati-
on of the last output state when the device was switched off or
when a blackout occured. This is intended to be used in case
the power supply is supposed to continue working as soon as it
is powered again.
Name: AI range Default: 0-10
Settings: 0-5, 0-10
Meaning: selects the control voltage range to use with the ana-
logue interface.
For all interface cards this setting applies:
Name: Device node Default: 1
Settings: 1...30
Meaning: Selects the device‘s address (device node is taken from
the CAN terminology). When using the device on a bus system
(CAN or GPIB), every device must have a unique address!
Attention! For the GPIB card only addresses between 1 and
15 can be selected, even if up to 30 are available! GPIB only
supports 15 addresses.
Following settings only with CAN interface IF-C1:
Name: Baud Default: 100k
Settings: 10k, 25k, 50k, 100k, 125k, 250k, 500k, 1M
Meaning: Selects the CAN transmission baud rate.
Name: RID Default: 0
Settings: 0...31
Meaning:Selectstherelocatableidentiersegment(RID).Refer
to CAN terminology for further information.
Name: Bus term Default: on
Settings: on, off
Meaning: activates/deactives the bus termination resistor of the
CAN interface card. This is required if the device is at the end
of the bus.
Following settings only with RS232 interface IF-R1:
Name: Baud
Default
: 57600
Settings
: 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600
Meaning: Selects the serial transmission baudrate in baud.
Further parameters for the RS232 are not congurable, but
denedasfollows:
Parity = odd
Stop bits = 1
Data bits = 8

9. Digital interface cards
The device supports following pluggable interface cards:
IF-U1 (USB)
IF-R1 (RS232)
IF-C1 (CAN)
IF-G1 (GPIB/IEEE)
IF-E1 (Ethernet/LAN + USB)
The cards require only a little or no setup after insertion. The card

Details about the technical specs of the interface cards and the
handling, as well as instructions to implement the device into a
bus system or to control the device by means of a PC (LabView
etc.) can be found in the user manual for the IF cards.
Important! Insertion or removal only if the device is completely
switched off (power switch)!

10. Analogue interface
10.1 General
The integrated, 15 pole analogue interface is located on the front
and offers, amongst others, following possibilities:
• Remote control of output current
• Remote control of output power (only models from 1kW)
• Remote control of output voltage
• Remote monitoring of status (OT, OVP, CC, CV)
• Remote monitoring of actual values
• Remotely switching the output on/off
The control voltage range that is going to be used is selected in the
device setup. See section 8. The reference voltage at output pin
3 is related to the chosen setting and will be either 5V or 10V.
Usage instructions:
• Controlling the device with analogue voltages requires to switch
it to remote control with pin „REMOTE“ (5).
• Before connecting the application that is used to control the
power supply, make sure to wire all leads correctly and check if

(max. 12V).
