1.3.1 UPC DESCRIPTION (cont)
The Programmable Output Impedance option (ProgZo) provides the ability to compensate for dynamic
losses in the output circuit by effectively controlling the output impedance of the power source and
responding in real time to changes in the output current. This feature is also known as Current
Compensation.
The UPC may be used in Local (front panel) or Remote (RS-232 SERIAL or optional GPIB) control. RS-
232 serial port interface is the standard interface configuration and is IEEE-488.2 and SCPI command
format compatible. The optional GPIB interface is fully IEEE-488.1, IEEE-488.2 and SCPI compatible.
Metered voltage and current waveform data (digitized waveforms) can be retrieved via the REMOTE
interface.
1.3.2 CONTROLLER MODELS
The term 'UPC' is derived from Universal Programmable Controller.
The UPC-3 is a 3
Φ
signal generator designed to plug in to any PACIFIC AMX/ASX Series chassis which
is 1
Φ
/ 2
Φ
/ 3
Φ
capable.
The UPC-1 is identical in characteristics to the UPC-3, except that it produces only one output signal. It
is designed to plug in to any single-phase-only PACIFIC AMX or ASX model power source.
The UPC-3M and UPC-1M are manually operated controller versions with no programming capability.
1.3.3 SCU DESCRIPTION
The System Control Unit is a 19 inch wide, 5.25 inch high, 7 inch deep rack mounted box with a power
supply and connector interfaces, to support a UPC. This allows the UPC to be remotely located from the
power source.
The SCU provides a suitable housing for the controller for applications requiring a controller remotely
located from the power source. The complete designation for a "stand-alone" controller housing a UPC-
3 is SCU/UPC-3. Such a unit can drive some of the larger PACIFIC AMX or ASX power sources through
their rear panel interface. A typical usage might be to locate the power source at the base of an
instrument rack, with the controller installed in an upper slot at a more convenient eye level or even in a
completely different location.
