Xantrex Technology XMP 2600 - Manual (Page 79)

Arm, trigger and sync Advanced features
When the display shows module detailed status and no fault or warning events are
reported, the status will reflect the armed state of the power module.
Responding
to a trigger
event
Power modules of the XMP 2600 power system can be programmed to respond to a
trigger event.
The trigger mechanism
Every Power Module of the XMP 2600 can receive a trigger and perform a
programmed action.
Trigger events can be supplied to the Power Modules using the hardware TRIG
connector at the back of the XMP 2600 mainframe (applied simultaneously to all the
Power Modules in the mainframe) or using a software command. You can use the
XMP’s front panel to supply software triggering to individual power modules.
Responses to a trigger event
The following table describes the various responses available to a trigger event:
Selected trigger
response
Response to the trigger event
ARM values Step
When the trigger arrives, the power module will take the
Vset, Iset OVset, OCset values and polarity state
programmed while it was armed and use them to update
the state of the Power Module’s output.
The power module is un-armed.
UN-ARM
A trigger will cause the power module to be un-armed
and any value stored while it was armed is discarded.
No Operation
A trigger supplied to the Power Module is ignored. This
is useful when you use the hardware trigger (supplied to
all the power modules in the mainframe) and you do not
want a power module to respond.
Channel Off
A trigger event will turn off the power module’s output.
If the output is already off when the trigger arrives, it
will remain off.
Channel On
A trigger event will turn on the power module’s output.
If the output is already on when the trigger arrives, it will
remain on.
RAMP I t=0:00:000
A trigger will initiate a current ramp in the power
module’s output with the programmed ramp duration
(see output ramping, below).
RAMP V t=0:00:000
A trigger will initiate a voltage ramp in the power
module’s output with the programmed ramp duration
(see output ramping, below).
Channel ON/OFF
A trigger event will toggle the state of the power
module’s output:
If the output was on – it will be turned off.
If the output was off – it will be turned on.
