Digital bus interfaces (XPF60-20SP, XPF60-10DP, XPF60-20DP only)
Sorensen XPF “P” models offer full remote control and read-back using RS-232, USB or LAN (compliant with LXI class C). All interfaces are at ground potential and opto-isolated from the output terminals. Note: Remote/Local Sense, is manually selectable only.
RS-232
- Standard 9-pin D connector. Baud rate 9,600
USB
- USB 2.0 connection (backwards compatible with USB 1.x). Operates as a virtual COM port
Ethernet (LAN)
- Standard 10/100 base-T hardware connection. ICMP and TCP/IP Protocol for connection to Local Area Network or direct connection to a single PC.
LXI Compliance
- LAN interface is compliant with LXI class C. (LXI is the abbreviation for Lan extensions for Instrumentation).
Isolated analog remote control (XPF60-20SA only)
Some applications require analogue remote control rather than digital. The XPF60-20SA has fully galvanically isolated voltage driven remote control for both voltage and current. In addition, voltage and current front panel settings are provided as non-isolated control voltages, enabling master-slave configurations to be used.
Range control offers even more flexibility
As an alternative to PowerFlex operation, the XPF series can be used as a conventional fixed range power supply at the press of a button.
Fixed range mode ensures that, whatever the load, the output can only be in constant voltage or constant current mode and never in power limit. Additionally, finer resolution is provided on the current or voltage controls respectively.
A further button offers full customization of voltage and current limits which can be set to suit the user’s application. This has the advantage that the controls cover the exact voltage and current range required, providing easier setting and reduced risk of error.
Fixed ranges are as follows:
