Remote Interface Software
The Remote Interface Software ships with all XR Series
power supplies. The software provides the user with an easy
and intuitive method to operate a Magna-Power Electronics’
power supply with computer control. The Remote Interface
Software has six windows:
• Virtual Control Panel
• Command Panel
• Register Panel
• Calibration Panel
• Firmware Panel
• Modulation Panel
The Virtual Control Panel emulates the XR Series front pan-
el, the Command panel programs and reads SCPI commands
with user friendly buttons, the Register Panel programs and
reads registers, the Calibration Panel enables calibration of
the digital potentiometers, the Firmware Panel enables the
program stored internal to the power supply to be upgraded,
and the Modulation Panel eases programming of modulation
parameters.
Power Source Emulation
Output modulation enables Magna-Power Electronics’
power supplies to emulate a variety of user-defined power
sources, such as Fuel Cells, Photovoltaic Arrays, Batteries, etc.
The power supplies follow an I-V curve programmed either
through Magna-Power’s Remote Interface Software (modu-
lation panel), LabVIEW with certified NI LabVIEW drivers, or
through other programming means using SCPI commands.
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
analog signals. Each diagnostic condition is given a desig-
nated pin, which reads 5 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 circuitry necessary!
LXI-Compliant Embedded Ethernet
LXI is an instrumentation platform based on industry stan-
dard Ethernet technology designed to provide modularity,
flexibility and performance to small- and medium-sized sys-
tems. LXI’s advantages are exemplified in its compact, flexible
package providing high-speed I/O and reliable
measurements. These features meet the needs
of R&D and manufacturing engineers deliver-
ing electronics for the aerospace/defense,
automotive, industrial, and medical markets.
Certified to the LXI Standard (Class C), the XR Series Ether-
net option includes an embedded web-server, allowing web
browser power supply control and monitoring from virtually
anywhere.
