Chapter 5
External Interface
Overview
Chapter 5 provides information about the APS-1000 external interface. Use the
information in this chapter to learn how to use the remote control capabilities of your
unit. You will probably find that test operations controlled from the front panel are
relatively intuitive. However, external control requires an understanding of how to
enter parameters into M1, M2, M3, described in Chapter 4. In addition, in this chapter
you will learn how to connect external switches, relay contacts, or Programmed Logic
Controller (PLC).
The external interface connector is not intended for RS-232 or GPIB control.
All APS Power Converters can be externally controlled by a PLC, or equivalent. Read
the following section for details about the PLC External Interface.
