About the device
1. Introduction
The laboratory power supplies of the series PS 8000 DT are
ideally suited for school, laboratory and workshop use because
of their desktop case.
Apart from standard functions of power supplies the user can
define and recall 5 different presets of set values or make use of
the integrated analogue interface, that can handle the common
voltage ranges of 0...5 V or 0...10 V. This offers a way of easily
monitoring the device as well as total remote control.
The optionally available, digital interface cards provide an even
wider spectrum of control and monitoring functions by means of
a PC. Models from 1000 W feature an adjustable power regula-
tion circuit, as well as a „System Bus“ terminal which enables
series connection as master-slave or parallel connection with
share bus.
The integration into existent systems is done very comfortably
by using an interface card, while there is no need to configure
the card at all or with only a few settings.
Via the analogue interface, a power supply can als be operated
in connection to other power supply units, controlling these via
the interface. Or they can be controlled and monitored by an
external control system, like a PLC.
The devices are microprocessor-controlled and thus delivers
fast and accurate measurement and indication of actual values.
