Remote Operation

4–10 TM-XDOP-01XN

Using Remote Analog Control

Connect your programming voltage sources and monitors, ensuring that the

appropriate 0– 5V or 0–10V range has been configured and selected. (See “Select

Remote Control Source” on page 3–19.) With the Analog Control mode selected,

varying the programming source from 0 to 5V (or 10) will vary the output voltage

or current from 0 to its rated maximum. A voltage in the range of 0–5V (or 10) on

the corresponding monitor line is proportional to 0–100% of the rated output.

The output V and I readback lines are active for all operating modes as are the

user interface lines. The analog programming inputs are active only when selected

using the procedure in “Select Remote Control Source” on page3–19. You can

select analog remote control or either the output voltage or current, or both. When

only voltage or current is being remotely controlled, the other setpoint is under

front panel local control.
