NOTES:
1. In “Advanced Parallel” mode (refer to Section 5.15.2), “n” is the total system Output current.
2. In “Advanced Parallel” mode, “MC?” returns the Master unit Output current multiplied by the “Number of
Slave units + 1”.
Global Output Commands 7.7.6
7.7.6.1 General
All power supplies, even if not the currently addressed power supply, receiving a Global command will execute
that Global command. No response (to the controller/PC issuing the command) will be returned to the
controller/PC. The controller/PC issuing the Global command will be responsible to delay any other
communications until the command is executed. The suggested delay is 200 milliseconds minimum.
If the Global command contains an error, “out of range values” for example, no error report will be sent to the
issuing controller/PC.
Global Reset. Brings the power supply to a safe and known state:
Output voltage: 0V, Output current: 0A, OUT: Off, Local/Remote: Remote, AST:
OFF, OVP: Maximum, UVL: 0V.
The conditional register (FLT and STAT) are updated. Other registers are not
changed.
Non-latching faults (FB, OVP, SO) are cleared, OUT fault stays
Sets the Output voltage value in Volts. The range of Output voltage values is shown in
Table 7-3. ‘n’ may be up to 12 characters plus decimal point
Program the Output current value in Amperes. The range of Output current values is
shown in Table 7-4. ‘n’ may be up to 12 characters plus decimal point
Turns the output to ON or OFF:
“OUT 1 (or OUT ON)” = Turn Output ON
“OUT 0 (or OUT OFF)” = Turn Output OFF; clears CV and CC bits in the Status
Condition (STAT) register.
OUT ON will respond with “E07” if the output cannot be turned ON because of a
latching fault (OTP, AC, ENA, SO) shutdown.
Saves “Present Settings”. Same settings as power-down last settings listed in Section
5.13 except the unit Address and Baud rate are not saved to EPROM memory. These
settings are erased when the power supply AC Input power is switched OFF and the
new ‘Last Settings“ are saved.
Recalls “Last Settings”. Settings are from last AC Input power-down or from last ‘SAV’
or ‘GSAV’ command. Unit Address and Baud rate are not recalled so serial
communication is not interrupted.
