1.9.6 The control panel (HMI)
The HMI (

1.9.6.1 Display
The display is divided into a number of areas. In normal operation the left upper half is used to show actual values
and the lower half is used to display status information and set values:
Actual values
U/I or U/I/P
Set value of voltage
Status: regulation mode, alarms,
control location
Set value of current or
Set value of power
•
Actual values area (upper half)
In normal operation the DC output values (large numbers) of voltage and current resp. also of power are displayed,
depending on the display settings. The display format of values is according to what’s listed in
•
Set values area (lower half, left and right side)
The set values of voltage and current (mode: U/I) resp. of voltage and power (mode: U/P(I)) are displayed here
and are adjustable with the left hand and right hand rotary knobs when operating the device manually. While doing
so, the digit to adjust can be switched by pushing the corresponding rotary knob to move the cursor.
The left hand rotary knob is always assigned to the DC output voltage and related parameters like OVP or U-max,
whereas the right hand rotary knobs is either assigned to the DC output current and related parameters or to the
DC output power. In remote control condition, no matter if analog or digital, the set values given from remote are
displayed here.
When adjusting with the knobs, pushing the knob will select the digit to be changed. Logically, the values are
increased by clockwise turning and decreased by anti-clockwise turning, unless they are somehow limited by a
maximum value or an adjustment limit (see
