3.5.4 Remote control via the analog interface (AI)
3.5.4.1 General
The optionally available, galvanically isolated, 15-pole analog interface (short: AI, also see section 1.9.9) is located
on the back side of the device after installation and offers the following possibilities:
• Remote control of current, voltage and power
• Remote status monitoring (CC/CP, CV)
• Remote alarm monitoring (OT, OVP, PF)
• Remote monitoring of actual values
• Remote on/off switching of the DC output
Setting the three set values of voltage, current and power via the analog interface always takes place concurrently.
It means, that for example the voltage can’t be given via the AI and current and power set by the rotary knobs, or
vice versa.
The OVP set value and other supervision (events) and alarm thresholds cannot be set via the AI and therefore
must be adapted to the given situation before the AI is put in operation. Analog set values can be fed in by an ex-
ternal voltage or generated by the reference voltage on pin 3. As soon as remote control via the analog interface
is activated, the values displayed will be those provided by the interface.
The AI can be operated in the common voltage ranges 0...5 V and 0...10 V in each case 0...100% of the nominal
value. The selection of the voltage range can be done in the device setup. See section „3.4.3. Conguration via
MENU“ for details.
The reference voltage sent out from Pin 3 (VREF) will be adapted accordingly and is then:
0-5 V: Reference voltage = 5 V, 0...5 V set values (VSEL, CSEL, PSEL) correspond to 0...100% nominal values,
0...100% actual values correspond to 0...5 V at the actual value outputs (CMON, VMON).
0-10 V: .Reference voltage = 10 V, 0...10 V set values (VSEL, CSEL, PSEL) correspond to 0...100% nominal values,
0...100% actual values correspond to 0...10 V at the actual value outputs (CMON, VMON).

The analog interface is galvanically separated from DC output. Therefore do not connect any
ground of the analog interface to the DC- or DC+ output!
3.5.4.2 Resolution and sample rate
The analog interface is internally sampled and processed by a digital microcontroller. This causes a limited resolu-
tion of analog steps. The resolution is the same for set values (VSEL etc.) and actual values (VMON/CMON) and
is approx. 16384 (14 bits). Due to tolerances, the truly achievable resolution can be slightly lower.
There is furthermore a max. sample rate of 500 Hz. It means, the device can acquire analog set values and sta-
tuses on digital pins 500 times per second. The same applies for generated output signals, such as monitor values.
