8.
Repeat the above steps for each power supply that you want to
connect together and control, making sure that each of them
have a different address assigned.
9.
Connect the USB of the first supply (address 1) to the computer,
then use the Multi-Unit Programming commands to
communicate with each power supply. Refer to “4.7 Multi-Unit
Programming Commands”.
When connecting multiple power supplies (of the same
model) in parallel while in chain mode, there will be a
decrease in speed and performance with each additional
units connected in parallel. The voltage and current
scan speed, which affects the synchronization between
the power supplies, between the slave units and the
master unit will increase based on the following
formula:
250 * N (in milliseconds)
where N is the number of power supplies (of the same
model) in parallel. Please note as more power supplies
are paralleled and linked together, speed will become
slower. Thus, we do not recommend paralleling more
than 4 power supplies while in chain mode to ensure
fast performance. Parallel mode is recommended when
the application requires paralleling 5 to 10 power
supplies. Refer to section 3.6 Parallel Operation for
more details.
If the application requires connecting more than 10
power supplies in parallel operation, we advise to
