After all modules have completed their Power-On Self Test, the ReFlex
Power™ is ready for initial communication and configuration check. It is
recommended that the system be checked prior to connecting any loads
or power to the Power modules.
1. Install a LAN interface cable between the host controller and the
RFPC module front panel RJ-45 connector.
2. Configure the RFPC for communications with the host
controller. (Refer to either the Quick Reference Guide or to the
programming manual for set-up instructions)..
3. The modules will first execute a power-on self-test. Also at
power on, the internal fans are run at maximum speed for
several seconds, and then revert to a speed dictated by the
internal module temperature. Wait until all of the modules have
finished initializing before continuing.
4. Verify communications with the RFPC by issuing the SCPI
command,
*IDN?
The RFPC should respond with its identification string.
5. Verify that all of the modules have completed their initialization
by issuing the SCPI command,
EIB:CONF:DNUM?
.
This will return the total number of modules including the RFPC
that have been initialized in the system.
6. Verify each module type and location by issuing the SCPI
command,
*IDN[n]?
, where n is a channel number that
corresponds to the module address.
The module should respond with its identification string.
All modules respond to the SCPI identification query,
* IDN[n]?
where n
is the module address.
To obtain the RFPC’s identification information, issue either of the
following:
1. Enter the SCPI command,
*IDN?
2. Enter
*IDN[n]?
where n is the RFPC’s module address.
The responses are identical.
Repeat the
*IDN[n]?
command for each power module in the system
using their correct channel address
[n]
. The response provides
information in four fields: Company name, Model number, Serial number
and Firmware version.
