LIMU - Limit U
a
Reads maximum adjustable voltage limitation. This command requests the previously defined maximum output
voltage.
Example: 300 V unit was adjusted to 200 V via configuration menu
LIMU Query of maximum adjustable current
LIMU,200.0V Unit answers: U
limit
= 200 V
LLO - Local Lockout
This command deactivates the Local button. Unit cannot be switched to local mode by holding the button Standby .
No return value.
MI[,<Nr>] - Measure I
a
This command measures the present output current.
Example:
GTR Remote operation
OVP,200 Over voltage protection 200 V
UA,10 Output voltage 10 V
IA,1 Output current 1 A
SB,R Output open
MI Measures present output current
MI,0.567A Unit answers: 567 mA
In master/slave mode with parallel connection the total current of all connected devices is displayed. Using the
parameter <Nr> will show the value of each connected device. Numbering starts with 0.
Example:
MI,2 displays the measured output current at the bus of device number 3.
MODE[,{UI|UIP|UIR|PVSIM|USER|Skript|0|1|2|3|4|5}] - Set Mode
This command selects the operation mode. Entering the command without parameter displays the presently selected
operation mode. Entering the command with parameter activates the operation mode. Alternatively, the operation
mode can be indicated as number.
The following table shows the different settings:
