Section 1. Overview

The XDC series Slave power supply is designed for use in current sharing systems as a slave module connected in parallel with an XDC 6000 Watt series full digital controlled front panel unit. In such a configuration, the XDC full digital controlled front panel unit is acting as the master of the current sharing system. The communication between the master and slave is made via a CANbus digital interface to control all the parameters needed for proper current sharing.

The XDC 6000 Watt series full digital controlled front panel unit used as a master needs to be the same model as the slave module (i.e. Voltage-Current), and be equipped with the CANbus digital interface (optional on the XDC 6000 Watt series). It also needs the proper firmware version for the control mother board (see page 19).

Features

•Supports up to five XDC units in current sharing configuration (one master and four slaves)

•Front panel with the standard rack mount brackets, handles, ON/OFF switch and two status LEDs (one green for POWER ON and one red for OUTPUT OFF - lit when the output is off)

•Standard CANbus and RS-232 digital remote control

•Auto Addressing in current share initialization

•Digital processing for accurate control

•CE mark, UL and CSA Approvals, FCC compliant
