Master-Slave Parallel Connection
Functions
As opposed to direct parallel connection, master-slave parallel
connection offers significant advantages:
– Equally suitable for voltage and current regulation
– Output parameters (output voltage, cumulative current limiting)
are set entirely by the master device.
– All interconnected KONSTANTERs are equally loaded.
Wiring
Define one power supply as a master device.
Connect master and slave devices as shown in Figure 5.8.2.
Connect the output leads (refer to chapter 2.1.4).
Balance the individual output current values. Keep connector
cables as short as possible, and use the largest possible
conductor cross-section. Perform balancing with R
sym
.

The voltage setpoint at the slave devices
must be set at least 1% higher than at the
master device, e.g. to maximum.
ISET
= 0 A
The ISET rotary knob can be deactivated if
desired by setting ILIM to 0 A.
Use the same procedure for additional slave devices.
Press the OUTPUT ON key at the slave(s) and the master.
Check output current at the slave device displays.
Output current at each of the slaves can be precisely matched to
master output current by adjusting R
sym
. Changes appear
immediately at the respective display.
Undo short-circuiting of the load.
From this point on, setting and regulation of (cumulative) output
parameters are controlled entirely by the master device.
Power-up after initial settings have been made:
Devices can be switched on and off in any desired order.
Functional Principle
The master controls output current of the downstream device
(slave 1) via the slave’s current control input with the help of the
current monitoring signal.
Slave 1 functions as a master device for the next downstream
slave (slave 2), and so forth.
Cumulative output current is thus always proportional to master
output current.
Outputs can be simultaneously activated and deactivated by
connecting the TRG inputs (setting: trG out) in parallel (Figure
5.8.2, optional connection) or in series (see also page 74).
Note:
KONSTANTERs with Differing Nominal Values
The KONSTANTER with the smallest nominal voltage value must
always be used as the master device.
The voltage setting range of the other KONSTANTERs must be
limited to this lowest value with the ULIM parameter.
Slave output current Iout
Slave
corresponds to master output
current Iout
Master
as a percentage only, relative to respective
nominal output current I
nom
.
Example:
General
A wire connection can be used instead of R
sym
if no precise
setpoint value is required for cumulative output current. In this
case, each slave device supplies slightly more current than the
master device.
If analog interface connector cables and the sensing leads are
longer than 1 meter, shielded cable should be used.
The shield is connected to the ground terminal on the housing or
to –OUT.
The master device’s measuring function acquires commonly
generated output voltage for all interconnected KONSTANTERs,
but only acquires its own output current.
The individual measured current values for each of the
interconnected KONSTANTERs must be added together in order
to arrive at cumulative output current.
