Parallel Operation and Series Operation
Overview of Parallel Operation
CH1 and CH2 can be connected in parallel inside the product to double the current output range. CH2
operates as the master channel and CH1 as the slave channel.
In parallel operation, the output current is the total of the CH1 and CH2 outputs.
Parallel operation functions
Voltage display and current display
The voltage or current is displayed on CH2 (master). The total current of CH1 and CH2 is displayed.
The CH1 voltmeter shows “SLAVE.”
Remote sensing
.
The sensing terminal of CH2 (master) can be used.
Memory
.
The values set on CH2 (master) during parallel operation can be saved and recalled.
For the other channels of PMX32-3TR/PMX32-2QU, the values are shared between normal operation,
parallel operation, and series operation.
External control
.
To perform output on/off control, use pin 9 (CH2) and pin 13. Open pin 8 (CH1).
Panel display during parallel operation
Example when the output voltage is set to 30 V and the output current to 6 A
(CH1: 3 A+CH2: 3 A)
