XR Series II: Controls

Standard Front Panel

XR models provide stepless analog control from front panel potentiometers. With a simple configuration change, the power supply can be programmed from the rear I/O connector or through software on one of the communications bus.

XRA Series Front Panel

Computer Control - C Series

XR models utilizing the C Version front panel, XRC, only allow control from the rear connector or by RS232/GPIB/Ethernet communications. These models are intended for process control applications where front panel controls and displays are not required or desired.

XRC Series Front Panel

Isolated External I/O for Automation

Using the rear 37-pin I/O connector, the XR Series power supplies can be completely controlled and monitored using external signals. The voltage, current, over voltage trip, and over current trip set points are set by applying a 0-10 Vdc signal. Each diagnostic condition is given a designated pin, which reads 10 Vdc when high. Also, the power supply features an external interlock, which when enabled, allows the power supply to be tied in with other emergency stop equipment. All these pins are isolated to earth-ground as standard--no additional isolation equipment necessary!
