External Interlocks and Output Status
The system is provided with four external interlock inputs that can be easily
configured using the GUI or directly using the PS commands (refer to the
“Command
Reference Manual”
for more information). Two output status signals, a Magnetic Relay
and Solid-State Relay, provide the output status of the power module. There are two
kinds of Magnetic Relay:
•
Normally Open (NO): when the PS output is OFF the Magnetic Relay is in open-
circuit, viceversa when the PS output is ON the Magnetic Relay is in short-
circuit.
•
Normally Closed (NC): when the PS output is OFF the Magnetic Relay is in
short-circuit, viceversa when the PS output is ON the Magnetic Relay is in open-
circuit.
The Solid-State Relay instead behaves like a Normally Open Relay.
External Interlocks and Output Status signals are available on a D-Sub 15 Pin
Male type on the rear panel of the FAST-Bi-1K5,
