HP 6624A, 6623A, 6621A manual Enabling/Disabling an Output, Setting Overvoltage Protection

Page 85

Enabling/Disabling an Output

The selected output channel can be turned on and off from the front panel. The OUTPUT ON/OFF key toggles the selected output on and off. When an output is turned off, the message ''DISABLED" will be displayed.

The OUTPUT ON/OFF key will not affect any other programmed functions nor will it reset an overvoltage or overcurrent condition. An output disabled by the OUTPUT ON/OFF key will behave as if it were programmed to zero volts and minimum current.

Setting Overvoltage Protection

Programmable overvoltage protection (OVP) guards your load against overvoltage by crowbarring and downprogramming the power supply output if the programmed overvoltage setting is exceeded.

A fixed OVP circuit with a trip level about 20 percent above the maximum programmable voltage acts as a backup to the programmable OVP. When overvoltage protection is activated, the output is shorted and the message ''OVERVOLTAGE" will appear on the front panel display.

The selected output's overvoltage setting is programmed locally using the OVSET key. For example, program the overvoltage to 10.5 volts by pressing:

OVSET

1

0

.

5

ENTER

Resetting Overvoltage Protection

The condition that caused the OV must first be cleared and then the output can be returned to its previous state by pressing the OVRST key.

Enabling/Disabling Overcurrent Protection

The overcurrent protection feature guards against excessive output currents. When the output goes into the + CC mode and OCP is enabled, the OCP circuit is activated which downprograms the output voltage and disables the output. For this condition, the message ''OVERCURRENT'' appears on the front panel display.

The selected output's overcurrent protection feature can be turned on and off from the front panel. The OCP key toggles the selected output's overcurrent protection circuit on and off. When it is on (enabled), the OCP ENBLD annunciator will be on.

Resetting Overcurrent Protection

The condition that activated the OCP circuit must first be cleared then the output can be returned to its previous state by pressing the OCRST key.

Displaying the Contents of the Fault Register

Each output channel has a fault register which can be used in conjunction with the status and mask registers to report a fault condition. A detailed description of these registers is given in Chapter 5. The main points of this description are repeated below for continuity in explaining how to use the front panel UNMASK and FAULT keys.

The mask register, which is set by the user, is used to specify which bits in the status register are enabled (unmasked) to set bits in the fault register. A bit is set in the fault register when the corresponding bit in the status register changes from 0 to 1 and the corresponding bit in the mask register is 1. Each output channel has its status, mask, and fault registers arranged as shown in Table 6-1.
