A
System Option 002
General Information
This option facilitates the operation of the power supply in an automated system. Four major circuit blocks provide:
1 ) remote analog programming of the supply's output by three different control methods; 2) signals indicating the power supply modes and conditions; 3) two different digital methods of remote control; and 4) the outputs of three bias supplies for use with external circuitry.
The power supply equipped with this option can be operated from either a 6940B Multiprogrammer equipped with a 69520A power supply programming card or a 6942A Multiprogrammer equipped with a 69709A power supply programming card.
Remote Programming. Through this interface both the output voltage and current can be remote programmed by either an external voltage source, resistance, or a current sink.
Status Indicators. Six optically isolated lines provide
Remote Control. Two optically isolated methods of remote control are available. 0ne method requires a negative going edge, which sets a latch on the 002 card to inhibit the power supply. The latch and OVP are reset by a
Bias Supplies. The outputs of three bias supplies are also available at the option connector. These outputs are + 15V,
Monitoring. The 002 Option Board provides two monitoring outputs (I.MON. and V.MON) available at the option connector. They both vary from 0 to 5V corresponding to a 0 to full scale output.
Other modes of operation, such as multiple supply system control, are described in detail in later paragraphs. Modes such as Auto Series, Auto Parallel, and Auto Tracking Operation are described in the Operating Manual.
