Construction and function
1.9.1 General description
The electronic high performance power supplies of the PSI 9000 3U series are especially suitable for test systems
and industrial controls due to their compact construction in a 19” enclosure with 3 height units (3U). Apart from
basic functions of power supplies, set point curves can be produced in the integrated function generator (sine,
rectangular, triangular and other curve types). Arbitrary curves can be saved to and loaded from a USB flash drive.
For remote control using a PC or PLC the devices are provided as standard with a USB-B slot on the back side
as well as a galvanically isolated analog interface.
Via optional plug-in interface modules, other digital interfaces such as Profibus, ProfiNet, ModBus, CANopen and
more can be added. These enable the devices to be connected to standard industrial buses simply by changing or
adding a small module. The configuration, if necessary at all, is simple. Thus the power supplies may, for example,
be operated with other power supplies or even other types of equipment or controlled by a PC or PLC, all using
the digital interfaces.
In addition, the devices offer as standard the possibility for parallel connection in Share bus operation for constant
current sharing plus a genuine master-slave connection with totalizing of the slave units is also provided as standard.
Operating in this way allows up to 10 units to be combined to a single system with a total power of up to 150 kW.
All models are contolled by microprocessors. These enable an exact and fast measurement and display of actual
values.
