Current and Voltage Inputs
The technology used on the REGUL8OR allows selecting how the digital PID
works. The internal digital controller can work basically in two different modes: in the
first mode the controller only considers one value (e.g. current or voltage) to be
regulated, while on the other mode takes into account both the current and the voltage
values.
Because of this last mode of operation, it is extremely important for the device
to have both the current and the voltage readback fed to it. As said, both the voltage and
the current networks can be remotely configured to have different hardware input
ranges.
The current readout is performed via the external DCCT transducer (to be
purchased separately depending on the desired range) and its pinout is shown in
. Please note that the REGUL8OR is shipped already with a cable with the correct
pinout to be connected to the chosen external DCCT transducer.
