Agilent N6710B - Custom-Configured Modular Power System Model N6700B (400W, GPIB, LAN, USB, LXI)

The Keysight N6700 MPS uses an advanced switching power supply design that fits within 1U of rack space (1.75 in./44 mm). It has side air vents (no top or bottom air vents) so other instruments can be mounted directly above or below it. (Requires rack mount kit; see ordering information.)

Built-in measurement of voltage and current

The N6700 modules come standard with built-in measurement of voltage and current to simplify wiring and design of an ATE system.

The Keysight Technologies, Inc. N6700 Low-Profile Modular Power System (MPS) is a 1U (rack unit) high, multiple-output programmable DC power supply system that enables test system integrators to optimize performance, power and price to match test needs.

The Keysight N6700 MPS gives test system designers the flexibility to mix and match from over 30 different DC power modules to create a 1- to 4-channel DC power system optimized to meet specific test requirements. Test system engineers can invest in high-performance outputs where speed and accuracy are needed, or purchase basic performance outputs for simple DC power requirements.

Power supplies are a fundamental component of every test system in industries including aerospace and defense, consumer electronics, computers and peripherals, communications, semiconductor and automotive electronics. Today’s complex automatic test equipment (ATE) systems often require multiple power sources. Test system designers are challenged to keep costs down by reducing rack space occupied by these multiple power supplies and to continually increase test system throughput.

Protection features

Each N6700 module is protected against over-voltage, over-current, and over-temperature. A fault condition in one module can be detected within 10 microseconds by other modules so that they can be quickly shut down to avoid hazardous conditions on your device under test (DUT).

Connectivity

The N6700 MPS comes standard with GPIB, USB 2.0, and 10/100 Base-T ethernet LAN interfaces. While GPIB is best suited for use with existing systems, Keysight offers USB and LAN to allow you to take advantage of the availabil- ity, speed, and ease-of-use of common computer industry standard interfaces. The N6700 is fully compliant with the LXI Class C specification.

Security

When used in systems running GPIB, the LAN and/or USB interfaces can be disabled for extra security. Also, all non-volatile RAM data and settings can be cleared from the front panel.

Control from any browser

The N6700 can be controlled via a standard web browser. The N6700 contains a web server that provides web pages for monitor, control, and setup of the MPS.

Output sequencing

Each DC power module can be individually set to turn on or to turn off with a delay. By adjusting the delay times and then commanding the N6700 to turn on, you can set the N6700 modules to sequence on in a particular order. The same sequencing capability is available to shut down the modules in a particular order.

For applications that require more than four DC power modules to be sequenced, this output sequencing can be extended across multiple N6700 mainframes. When the I/O ports on the rear panel of the mainframes are wired together, a pair of synchronization signals can be sent between mainframes, allowing the output sequences of all mainframes to be synchronized. This capability is supported on N6700B, N6701A and N6702A mainframes. It is not supported on the discontinued N6700A mainframe.
