Programmable DC Power Supply 62000P Series Operating & Programming Manual
3.3.3.3.1 MASTER
If MASTER OR SLAVE is set to MASTER, a MASTER setup window will prompt for
PARALLEL OR SERIES and NUM. OF SLAVE selections. See the description of
PARALLEL OR SERIES in section 3.3.3.3.2 and NUM. OF SLAVE in section 3.3.3.3.3.
MASTER has two main functions:
(1) It issues commands to all SLAVE, such as voltage setting, current setting, protection
setting and etc., which means all settings in SALVE are from MASTER. The original
settings in SLAVE are temporary invalid.
(2) It accepts all measurements and protection signals from SLAVE. The MASTER
calculates all measurements and displays them in the main page. Moreover, when
protection is occurred in one SLAVE, the MASTER will notify other SLAVE to set off
the protection and show in MASTER’s main page.
NOTICE
When multiple DC Power Supplies are connected in series or parallel, only one DC Power
Supply can be the Master and the rest have to be set to Slave.
