PLZ-3W/3WH series
ELECTRONIC LOAD (CC·CR·CV·CP)
When an optional interface is used, the PLZ-3W/3WH Series allow
the PLZ-3W/3WH front panel to be fully controlled through an ex-
ternal controller. Since the external controller can also read back DC
input voltage, DC input current, and DC input power values in addi-
tion to set values, you can use this capability to configure various
systems. Suitable interfaces include the IB11 GPIB and RS11 RS-
232C interfaces, both of which include the Kikusui-designed multi-
channel bus (MCB) feature. This allows a maximum of 16 units to
be controlled for a single address of the GPIB interface or a single
port of the RS-232C interface. (Note: The slot for an optional board
allows an IB11, RS11, or MC11S to be connected.)
Interfaces
Remote Control
By connecting a remote controller RC02-PLZ or 10-keypad RC11 to
the PLZ-3W/3WH Series, you can directly input values for current (I
SET), resistance (R SET), and power (P SET) or time settings. In
particular, the RC02-PLZ allows the PLZ-3W/3WH front panel to be
controlled in hand.
● Remote controller RC02-PLZ
Control items:
● Same setting features as on front panels of instruments
● Direct setting (numeric input) of I SET, R SET,V SET and P SET
values
● Direct setting (numeric input) of above SET values and time in the
memories A, B, and C
● Direct setting (numeric input) of I SET, R SET, V SET, and P SET
values and time in the sequence mode
● MCB system (Example 1)
The use of the MCB allows easy configuration of various large sys-
tems when you wish to test a large number of devices together, con-
duct load tests of multi-output switching power supplies, or attempt
related applications.
● MCB system (Example 2 )
The MCB can also be used for the PAX Series high-speed program-
mable DC power supplies and PBX Series high-speed bipolar power
supplies. Thus, for example, use of a RS-232C allows a single note-
book PC to configure a DC/DC converter test system using either the
PAX or PBX Series, as shown below.
