REGUL8OR – User’s Manual
12
The REGUL8OR can be also monitored and controlled via a navigation switch
and a graphic high-resolution color display featuring user-friendly menus.
In addition to the standard Ethernet interface, it is possible to communicate with
the unit using the SFP-ports on the front panel. This interface allows communicating
with the unit using a proprietary protocol (packet structure with a very high update rate
(more than 10 kHz) for fast applications. These ports are connected directly to the
FPGA logic and so the given packet is elaborated directly by the hardware logic.
This approach eliminates the software stratification that manages the packet and
the computational time is smaller and deterministic, allowing a very high update rate of
the setpoint, giving the user more flexibility and excellent rates for the digital remote
control of the power supply.
