Recommendations on using the XMP 2600

Usage Guidelines

Protection setup

Use the PROT command to setup the way Over Voltage and Over Current protection values are assigned (automatically or manually).

If you have decided to use manual protection settings, use the OVSET and OCSET commands to setup the desired protection values.

Select the Foldback scheme you wish to use (FOLD command) and the amount of reprogramming delay you wish to apply (DLY command).

If you wish to use the window feature of the XMP 2600 (in order to receive warnings or employ an Under Voltage or Under Current protection mechanism) enable the proper window level thresholds using the WHIGH and WLOW commands.

Use the POLEN command to enable the XMP 2600 to process negative voltage setting values.

Output settings

Setup the desired output values (VSET and ISET commands) and, optionally, the window thresholds (VLOW, VHIGH, ILOW and IHIGH).

Remember that high window values can only be programmed to values above the appropriate set values. Thus, for example, if you wish to use a window high current threshold value lower than the limiting output value (ISET) you should program ISET to the expected value, setup the ILOW and IHIGH values and then raise ISET to the limit value.

Set the desired initial state of the output disconnect (DISC command) and polarity (POL command) relays.

If the hardware SYNC signal is going to be used, use the SYNC command to tell the Power Module when to generate a SYNC signal.

Setup the Power Module’s reaction to a hardware or software trigger, using the TRIG command.

Status reporting

If so desired, use the CMASK command to setup each Power Module’s event filtering mechanism. This mechanism enables you to limit the type of events reported by the Power Modules to the XMP’s main controller.

Activation

Once everything is setup properly, you are ready to activate the outputs of the XMP 2600.

Output on

For a Power Module’s output to be active, the following conditions must be met:

•The Main Converter is operating.

•The XMP 2600 is globally “turned on”.

•The Power Module is turned on.

•The Power Module does not report any fault.

•The output disconnect relay is closed.

To control the output of an individual Power Module, use the OUT command with the module’s number as a parameter.
