Installation and Configuration

Configure for Multichannel Operation

CANbus The CANbus port consists of two 4-pin modular “handset” jacks to support daisy chain connections. The CAN (Controller Area Network) is an ISO standard (ISO11898) for a serial communication network. Table 2.2 describes the pin functions. The CANbus is used for communications in multichannel operation or current sharing (master/slave) operation.

CANbus	The custom CANbus cables shipped with your unit are parallel 4-connector cables
Cables	with 4-pin modular “handset” connectors.
Configuration	The CAN-only interface cards must be configured via the CANbus with another
of CAN-only	GPIB-M card. The CAN-only interface cards are set to multichannel address 2 at the
Interface	factory. Ensure the multichannel address on the GPIB-M is set to an unused address,
Cards	for example, address 1. Connect the two power supplies as shown in Figure 2.10,
	“Connections for Multichannel Operation” on page 37.
	Send the query to the CAN-only power supply:
	SYST2:REM:SOUR?
	and ensure the response is “MCH” for multichannel.
	If necessary, set the power supply to accept control via multichannel commands
	(the CANbus interface) with the SCPI command:
	SYST2:REM:SOUR MCH
	Set each slave's unique multichannel address using the command:
	SYST2:COMM:MCH:ADDR <multichannel-address>
	where multichannel-address is an integer in the range of 1-50.
	This procedure can be repeated separately with each power supply to assign a unique
	address to each. Once all power supplies are configured, they can be connected to the
	CANbus network.

	Note See “Broadcasting Commands” on page 39 for additional information on
	configuring CAN-only units.
