1.1 General
The ROHDE & SCHWARZ High-power Switch Module R&S TS-PSM3 is intended for
the R&S CompactTSVP and R&S PowerTSVP test platform. The module occupies two
slots. Control of the module is via the CAN bus.
The module is available in two versions:
●
It can be ordered with a connector of the Virginia Panel Corp. (VPC) on the front of
the module as R&S TS-PSM3 (variant 03), order no. 1519.2516.03. The connector
is connected to the individual channels of the module via terminals on the switch
card using a pre-assembled cable set.
●
The R&S TS-PSM3B (variant 02), order no. 1519.2516.02, is delivered without
VPC, the user can connect his loads or power supply units with his own cables via
apertures on the front plate of the module to the terminals of the channels.
A soft panel is available for operating the R&S TS-PSM3. Control is via an IVI switch
driver.
1.2 Safety advice
To prevent danger to the user when using hazardous voltages, the R&S Com-
pactTSVP TS-PCA3 and R&S PowerTSVP TS-PWA3 production test platform must
never be operated with an open housing or the front- or side covers opened. General
safety regulations must be observed.
The R&S CompactTSVP and R&S PowerTSVP test platforms are principally designed
for operating voltages up to 125 V. The R&S TS-PSM3 is suitable for voltages of up to
+30 VDC and must only be used correspondingly.
When higher currents are run through, relays and circuit board can become very hot.
If signals with hazardous voltages are being connected via the analogue measurement
bus, all modules involved, including external PXI modules, must be specified for this
voltage.
