“MON” Command
The ‘MON\r’ command is intended to turn on the EASY-DRIVER output driver,
thus enabling the output current terminals and allowing the power supply to regulate
and feed current to the connected load.
After the reception of an ‘MON\’ command, the power supply automatically sets
output current to 0A (zero) when enabling the output.
Replies from the power supply to a ‘MON\r’ command are in the form ‘#AK\r’
– when the command is correctly executed - or ‘#NAK\r’. The ‘#NAK\r’ reply is
obtained if:
•
the power supply module is in a FAULT condition (it is necessary to reset the
status register after a generic fault condition in order to turn the power supply ON
again - see command ‘MRESET\r’).
Sending a ‘MON\r’ command when the module output is already enabled also
generates an acknowledgment response – i.e. ‘#AK\r’.
Examples:
MON example when there is no fault conditions:
MON
\r
#AK
\r
MON example when the system has experienced a fault:
MON
\r
#NAK
\r
