TM-XDOP-01XN 5–5
Operation
Once a current sharing network is setup, you may adjust the voltage and current
limit setpoints on the master. The master will automatically adjust the setpoints of
the slave units to equalize the current output of all units. You may also disable or
enable the output of the master, automatically disabling or enabling the output of
all slaves.
You may use local or remote (RS-232, GPIB, multichannel or analog) control to
operate the master.
Slaves will be operating under remote control from the master and in local
lockout. Hence, they will only respond to remote queries or the OUT ON/OFF key
on the front panel of the master.
The default display will show a greek letter sigma before the readback current if
the summed current output is being displayed. For example, the display may read
"60.00V
Σ 500A". However, the setpoint displayed on the master is still the
current limit for a single unit.
The master or slave annunciators will light up and stay on to show that current
share is operating properly.
Power supplies may not enter calibration mode while current sharing, or enter
current share operation while in calibration mode.
