Digital Bus Interfaces - RS-232, USB, LAN (LXI)

Full remote control and read-back using RS-232, USB or LAN (LXI-C). All interfaces are at ground potential and opto-isolated from the outputs.

Note: Remote/Local Sense is manually selectable only.

RS-232

Standard 9-pin D connector. Baud rate 19,200 max.

USB

Standard USB hardware connection. 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.

GPIB (only with Option G)

The interface conforms with IEEE-488.1 and IEEE-488.2.

LXI Compliance

LAN interface is compliant with LXI-C. (LXI is the abbreviation for Lan eXtensions for Instrumentation).

Digital Programming Performance

Voltage Setting

Setting Resolution: 10mV
Setting Accuracy: ± (0.1% +50mV)

Current Setting

Setting Resolution: 0.1mA (0.01mA on 75mA range)
Setting Accuracy: ± (0.3% +0.3mA); ± (0.3% +0.03mA) on 75mA range

Programming Speed

Command Delay: Typically <80ms (this must be added to any of the figures below)
Voltage Up Time: Typically <45ms* to 1%
Voltage Down Time: Typically <20ms* to 1% (full load); typically <150ms* to 1% (no load)

* The up and down times vary with model, current range and voltage step size. More information is contained in the operating manual which can be downloaded from our web site.

Analog Remote Control

Isolated analog voltage control of voltage and current. Analog control outputs are also provided to enable easy parallel connection of multiple units in a master-slave configuration.

Scaling

Set Voltage Input: 0V to 10V sets 0 to 100% of rated output (e.g. 0 to 120V for PLH120-P).
  Alternative scaling of 0V to 5V (selectable using internal link).
Set Current Input: 0V to 10V sets 0 to 100% of rated output (e.g. 0 to 750mA for PLH120-P).
  Alternative scaling of 0V to 5V (selectable using internal link).
Reference Point for control outputs: control output voltage are referenced to the positive output terminal
Voltage Output: 0 to 100% of rated output voltage generates 0V to 5V.
Current Output: 0 to 100% of rated output current generates 0V to 5V.

Accuracy

Set Voltage Input: ± (0.3% +100mV); Input Impedance = 10kOhm
Set Current Input: ± (0.5% +0.5mA); Input Impedance = 10kOhm

Voltage Output: ± (0.3% +100mV); Output Impedance = 125Ohm
Current Output: ± (0.5% +0.5mA); ± (0.5% +0.5mA) on 500mA range; Output Impedance = 125Ohm

Remote Analog On/Off Control

Non-isolated terminal which sets the output to Off when pulled low by gate signal or relay closure. Signal is reference to the positive output terminal.
Note that the PL303QMD-P does not have this facility.

Rear Terminals

Power connections are duplicated on the rear panel using a screw-less connector block.
Digital Bus Interfaces - RS-232, USB, LAN (LXI)

NOTE: The above specifications are additional to the Manual Control specifications which can be seen Here.
