Possible function generator settings with comparison between TopControl and HMI.
Loading and saving function sequences
All the settings can be saved in the non-volatile memory (flash) and
loaded again. It is also possible to set that when the power supply is
started (power-up), a previously saved function sequence is loaded au-
tomatically. Several function sequences can be saved. 64kB of memory
are available for this feature. Without user-defined curve shapes, up to
256 function sequences can be saved. In the case of user-defined
curves (4 bytes per point) the number reduces accordingly.
The function sequences are saved in a sequence number (1...1000)
that can be selected and can be called again using this number. It is al-
so possible to call the function sequences from the HMI. On saving a
function sequence via TopControl it is also possible to give an arbitrarily
defined name (up to 31 characters) as well as the date and time.
Restrictions and information
The function generator makes it possible to specify complex set value
curves. For the output values on the power supply to also be able to fol-
low these set value curves, the following points are to be noted:
The gradient limiters
(can be adjusted in the TopControl application on the <CONFIG> tab
Slopes)
are also active during function generator operation. If, e.g., steeper
edges are defined in the function generator, it may be necessary to in-
crease these slope values.
