Function generator (TFE/TopCon Function Engine) option
Introduction
The activated function generator can specify set values for voltage, cur-
rent and power in the form of pre-defined or user-defined functions for
the control of the TopCon power supply.
Here individual function blocks are combined into function sequences
that can be triggered by events.
The points on the user-defined functions and the AAP characteristic
curves to be used can be created and modified using TopControl or by
utilising a function library (DLL).
It is possible to use the “function generator (TFE)” in the demo mode.
Within the TopControl application, e.g. sequences of functions can be
defined. However, the function curves can only be transferred to a
TopCon power supply and used after the activation of this option.
For a description of the parameter entry for the function generator TFE
via the TopControl application see chapter 6.4.7.3, page 189.
For information on calling defined function sequences for the function
generator via the HMI see Table 87, page 162.
Function Block (FB)
A function block can be formed from various base functions for voltage,
current and/or output power.
The following functions for which the parameters can be set as required
are available:
Time-dependent standard functions: square, triangle, sine
Arbitrary time-dependent functions (user-defined)
Arbitrary functions (AAP, e.g. I = f(U))
Function Sequence (FS)
A function sequence comprises at least one function block. As a conse-
quence a sequence has the following properties:
Each function block contains base functions (e.g. sine wave with
symmetry, offset and possibly exponential decay curve ele-
ments)
The function blocks can be repeated 1 to n-times, or can be de-
fined as continuous functions. In addition, the functions can be
given further parameters, e.g., a pause between the repetitions.
