PUT and COMMON power terminals on the rear
panel (see Figure 3). OUT S and COM S terminal of
the Monitor and Sensing Terminal block are for con-
nection of remote sensing leads (after removing the
factory-installed local sensing links).
NOTE: Output
Sense lines must be connected for proper opera-
tion, either locally, or at the load (remote).
Also
use OUT S and COM S to monitor voltage at the
load using external equipment such as a DVM, oscil-
loscope, etc. Use OUT MON and COM MON to
monitor voltage at the BOP output.
It is critical that configurations comprised of BOP,
load, and external programming devices, have a sin-
gle earth-ground point. Observe the following cau-
tion and refer to the applicable BOP 1KW-MG
Operator Manual for earth-ground recommenda-
tions.
Failure to observe this caution will void the
warranty!
CAUTION: Never connect both the load
terminal tied to the BOP COM terminal
and the programming device common
to earth-ground. This compromises
accuracy and will cause catastrophic
damage to the BOP if the connection
between BOP COM and the load termi-
nal tied to earth-ground is lost.
LOCAL SENSING (FACTORY DEFAULT).
Unit is shipped with local sensing links installed:
OUT S connected to OUT MON and COM MON
connected to COM S (see Figure 4A).
REMOTE SENSING SELECT.
First remove the
factory-installed local sensing links between OUT S
and OUT MON and between COM MON and COM
S. Then connect the OUT S and COM S lines at the
load (see Figure 4B) using #22 AWG wire, twisted
pair.
ANALOG I/O CONNECTIONS.
The Analog I/O
Port connector, located on the rear panel of the BOP
1KW power supply (see Figure 3), provides access
to analog programming inputs which can control the
mode of operation (voltage or current), output volt-
age or current, and establish positive and negative
voltage and current limits. An output analog corre-
sponding to output current is also provided. Refer to
Operator’s manual for details.
TRIGGER CONNECTIONS.
The Trigger Port
(see Figure 3) provides for an external trigger input
for use with SCPI *TRG and TRIG commands. Refer
to Operator’s manual for details.
GPIB CONNECTIONS (MG SUFFIX).
Your
computer must have a GPIB interface card installed.
Connect the power supply to the computer’s GPIB
interface card. Use a standard GPIB interface cable
at the GPIB port on the rear panel (see Figure 3).
The default GPIB address is 6; refer to the Opera-
tor’s Manual to change it.
LAN CONNECTIONS (ME SUFFIX ONLY).
Connect the BOP 1KW to
a Microsoft Windows-based
computer via the LAN connector (see Figure 3). Use a
standard ethernet cable whether using a router or hub,
or connecting the BOP 1KW directly to a computer.
The BOP 1KW-ME is Auto-MDI-X enabled and does
not require a crossover cable for direct connection. For
Unix and Safari connections see full Operator Manual
(refer to “Accessing Manuals.” on page 1).
FINDING KEPCO POWER SUPPLIES ON THE LAN
.
The PSfind utility can be downloaded from the
Kepco web site at:
www.kepcopower.com/drivers/drivers-dl3.htm#bop1k
This utility finds all operational Kepco power sup-
plies connected to the LAN and then shows the
MAC and IP addresses of the models found.
To run the utility from your PC download the
psfind.zip file to your computer. Extract psfind.exe
from the zip file to a location of your choice, then
double-click psfind.exe to run the application. A
separate window opens as shown in Figure 1.
Once the search is completed, all found units are
displayed in the Select a Unit window (the MAC
address appears in parentheses). If you do not see
your device in the Select a Unit window or if the icon
to the left of the selected instrument is red (not
green), make sure it is turned on and connected to
the network, then click the Search Again button.
