Release 1.0 13
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 curre nt sharing system. The
communication between the master and sla ve 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 ver sion for the control mother board (see page 19).
