1.9.6 USB port

The USB-B port on the backside of the device is provided

for communication with the device and for firmware updates.

The included USB cable can be used to connect the device

to a PC (USB 2.0, USB 3.0). The driver is delivered on the

included CD or is available as a download and installs a

virtual COM port. Details for remote control can be found

in external documentation, a general programming guide,

on the web site of Intepro Systems or on the included CD.

The device can be addressed through the USB port either using the international standard ModBus protocol or by

SCPI language. The device recognizes the message protocol used automatically.
If remote control is in operation the USB port has no priority over either the analog interface or the Ethernet interface

and can, therefore, only be used alternatively to these. However, monitoring is always available.

1.9.7 Ethernet port

The Ethernet port on the backside of the device (standard

version of device only) is provided for communication with

the device in terms of remote control or monitoring. The user

has basically two options of access:
1. A website (HTTP, port 80) which is accessible in a standard

browser under the IP or the host name given for the device.

This website offers a configuration page for network param-

eters, as well as a input box for SCPI commands.

2. TCP/IP access through a freely selectable port (except 80 and other reserved ports). The standard port for this

device is 5025, default IP is 192.168.0.2. Via TCP/IP and this port, communication to the device can be established

in most of the common programming languages.
Using the Ethernet port, the device can either be controlled by commands from SCPI or ModBus protocol, while

automatically detecting the type of message.
The network setup can be done manually or by DHCP. The transmission speed is set to “Auto negotiation” and

means it can use 10MBit/s or 100MBit/s. 1GB/s is not supported. Duplex mode is always full duplex.
If remote control is in operation the Ethernet port has no priority over either the analog interface or the USB interface

and can, therefore, only be used alternatively to these. However, monitoring is always available.

1.9.8 Analog interface

This 15-pole Sub-D socket on the backside of the device

is provided for remote control of the device through analog

signals or switching conditions.
If remote control is active this analog interface can only be

used alternatively to the digital interface. However, monitor-

ing is always available.

The input voltage range of the set values and the output voltage range of the monitor values, as well as reference

voltage level can be switched in the settings menu of the device between 0-5 V and 0-10 V, in each case for 0-100%.

1.9.9 Sense connector (remote sensing)

During constant voltage operation (CV) and in case the adjusted output voltage has

to be held constant on the load and not on the power supply’s DC output, remote
