10. Remote Control of Output Voltage

The shut-down input can also be used to remotely adjust the output voltage between typically 14Vdc and 28Vdc. All
other functions of shut-down input remain the same.
The control voltage is referenced to the main ground (negative output voltage).

Instructions:

1. Set the unit into “Single Use” mode.
2. Set the output voltage adjustment (24-28V) to the maximum desired voltage.
3. Apply a control voltage to reduce the output voltage.

11. Internal Data Logging

A protected microcontroller inside the power supply acquires and stores operating data during the life of the unit. The
data can be downloaded with a small tool and special software by Rockwell Automation service and repair personnel,
even if the unit is faulty. Having the data facilitates troubleshooting. Knowledge of the events occuring just before a
failure allows for a more accurate analysis of the problem.
The data will be acquired with a fixed sampling rate unless the peak detectors trigger due to an abnormal condition.
In such cases, the abnormal condition is properly captured.

Acquired data:

- Family name of unit (1606-XLS), revision of firmware
- Operational hours and expired portion of lifetime
- Operational data; latest 60 values with timestamps of the last 158 minutes of:
