Advanced Energy’s Artesyn iLS600, iLS600-R and iLS1500 

series are programmable DC power supplies with a single 

output that offers output power to 600 and 1500 watts. With 

12-bit D/A & A/D converters embedded, the power supplies 

come with the capability of reporting voltage and current very 

accurately. The iLS600, iLS600-R and iLS1500 series provide 

convenient digital rotary controls for voltage and current 

adjustment and the power supplies also come with rear ports 

that allow remote control via USB, Ethernet, and analog 

control inputs. The iLS600, iLS600-R and iLS1500 series are 

LXI certified.
