ENTRY DESCRIPTION
CONTROL MASTER
AUX Selects controller operation mode. Default is
MASTER, which is the normal mode of
operation for a stand-alone unit.
Alternatively, one of the auxiliary modes may
be selected if this DC supply is an auxiliary to
a master supply.
Note that setting this field sets the internal
settings of the controller for the selected mode
of operation. It is not recommended to change
settings further as they may conflict with the
chosen mode of operation. For example, in
AUX AP mode, the current limit mode is set to
CC. Changing the mode to CV may generate
a current fault in parallel operation.
Available auxiliary modes are:
AP: Auto parallel mode. Parallel operation of
2 or more units to increase current. This
mode also requires the controller to
be reconfigured to an -AUX
so
changing this field in the configuration
menu alone is NOT sufficient. See
section 5.2.1 for additional configuration
details.
AS: Auto series mode. This mode is not
functional on an
–AUX configured unit.
See section 5.2.2 for details.
AT: Auto tracking mode. This mode is not
functional on an
–AUX configured unit.
See section 5.2.3 for details.
See chapter 5 for operating mode details.
LANGUAGE SCPI
Reserved The standard bus syntax used by the KDC
Series is the Standard Commands for
Programmable Instruments (SCPI).
If an alternative syntax is available, it can be
selected from this menu.
