8. EXTERNAL CONTROL THROUGH INTERFACE BOARD
8-1. Remote Control
It is possible to control the PSF Series power supply unit from a
Personal computer or sequencer through communication when the
optional interface board is mounted in it. Two types of interface
boards IF-60GP and IF-60RU are available for communication with a
Personal computer through GP-IB, RS-232C and USB interfaces.
These boards enable a maximum of ten units to be connected with the
master unit connected with a Personal computer through a local bus.
The connected units may be controlled as the slave units.
※
The terms
“master unit” and “slave unit” here are the same as
the master and slave unit for power extension described in
Section However, they have different meanings. Do not
confuse them.
※
It is impossible to mount the optional interface board in the
PSF-800LS.
