Specifications
Overview
Chapter 2 summarizes the capabilities and general features of the APS-1000P family
of Power Converters. Functional capabilities are similar for all units. APS units convert
fixed line voltage at a fixed frequency to user-selected 1-phase output voltages and
frequencies. The primary differences between units are size, weight, type of external
data interface, and specific power handling capability. All units provide built-in PLC
remote control for three program memories.
At the time of purchase, APS-1000P users select between one of two external control
and data interfaces: either RS-232 or GPIB. Both external interfaces provide full input
and output control of functions and data, independent of internally stored programs. In
addition, the external interfaces control eight APS-1000P internal program memories.
Please note, application of external control and data acquisition require instrumentation
programming skills. Therefore, Adaptive Power Systems recommends that only
experienced test instrumentation programmers prepare the RS-232 or GPIB test
programs.
The Displays and Controls Table in this section provides summary information about
the programmable memories and external control. More detailed information about
external interface control is found in Chapter 5.
This Chapter includes five summary tables and a surge-current performance graph. The
tables summarize different capabilities and features of APS-1000P Power Converters.
The graph illustrates over-current (start-up surge-current) capabilities.
