Basic Programming

Output control

where <value> can be programmed between the output setting value (Vset or Iset) and the output rating (Vmax or Imax) + 10%.

When changing the settings of an output while using a manual setting mode for the protection thresholds, follow the guidelines shown here:

For up programming, raise the protection thresholds before you raise the output settings.

For down programming, set the new output settings before you lower the protection thresholds.

Output settings

Setting the desired output’s voltage and current (Vset and Iset) is done using the following commands:

VSET <ch>,<value> and

ISET <ch>,<value>

where <value> is limited by the lower of Vlim or OVset for voltage and Ilim or OCset for current. Iset has a lower limiting value on its programming – Imin.

Output control

Output activation

Once set up, a Power Module needs to be turned on to enable it to provide power at its output.

A Power Module will provide power at its output when all the following conditions are true:

The Primary (main converter) is turned on (not shutdown using the external hardware control feature or due to a fault).

The XMP 2600 outputs are globally enabled (using the OUT 1 command).

The Power Module is not shutdown due to a fault or the selective shutdown mechanism.

The Power Module is turned on (using the OUT <ch>,1 command).

The output disconnect relay of the Power Module is closed (default state or use the DISC <ch>,0 command.

The following sections describe the commands available to you for controlling the outputs of the Power Modules.

Activating the output of a Power Module (turning it on) is done in two levels. Please note that at turn on, the outputs are disabled both individually and globally.

Globally enabling the outputs

Use the OUT 1 command to globally enable the outputs of all the Power Modules.

Note that only Power Modules that are individually turned on will actually have their outputs turned on when this command is issued.
