Introduction
This chapter describes the general characteristics and main features of the
REGUL8OR controller series.
1.1
REGUL8OR Overview
The REGUL8OR is a high-performance and high-stability digital controller and
can be used with all the COTS (Commercial Off-The-Shelf) programmable power
supplies that accept an analog control input ranging from:
•
0 V … +5 V
(UNIPOLAR)
•
0 V … +10 V (UNIPOLAR)
•
-5 V … +5V
(BIPOLAR)
•
- 10 V … +10 V (BIPOLAR)
or a current 4-20 mA input to improve their specifications over different aspects.
Thanks to the GUI (Graphic User Interface), the control and configuration of the
REGUL8OR is straightforward, while the several interfaces present on the rear panel
of the module allow for a quick and easy connection to the external power supply
adding several functionalities.
The extreme versatility of the device is given by the possibility to choose, on the
same hardware module, between several current and voltage input ranges, as listed in
Input Type
