The figure shown above is an example of system configuration for 2 channels of the charge and
discharge system. This system consists of 2 sets of each for the PFX2512, PWR1201ML (Regulated
DC power supply), the PLZ1205W (Electronic load) , and 1 set of each for the PC installed into the
rack unit connecting with the temperature chamber.
If you configure a system with the Charge / Discharge System Controller PFX2512, you can connect
charge / discharge units with 72 voltage measurement points and 8 temperature measurement
points or 12 voltage measurement points and 12 temperature measurement points to up to 7
channels (using options
