GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1
User Manual Content
This safety & installation manual contains the operating instructions and installation instructions of the
GH1.5kW power supply series. The instructions refer to the standard & Blank Panel power
supplies, including the built-in USB, LAN and RS232/485 serial communication. For information related
to operation with the optional IEEE communication interface, refer to User manual, IEEE Option
chapter. For information related to operation with the optional MODBUS TCP or EtherCAT
communication interfaces, refer to MODBUS TCP or EtherCAT manuals.

Introduction
1.2.1
General Description
Series power supplies are wide output range, high performance switching power supplies.
The
Series is power factor corrected and operates from worldwide AC voltage range
continuously. Output voltage and current are continuously displayed and indicators show the complete
operating status of the power supply (in the standard units). The Front Panel controls allow the user to
set the output parameters, the protection levels (Over-Voltage protection, Under-Voltage protection
and Foldback) and preview the settings (in the standard units). The rear panel includes the necessary
connectors to control and monitor the power supply operation by remote analog signals or by the built-
in serial communication USB, RS232/485, and LAN. IEEE, MODBUS TCP and EtherCAT are optional.
1.2.2
Multiple Output Power System
The
power supplies series can be configured into a programmable power system of up to
32 units using the built-in LAN, USB, or RS232/RS485 communication port in the power supply and
the RS485 linking cable provided with each power supply.
For further information regarding LAN interface, refer to the User manual, Serial RS232/RS485, USB &
LAN Interfaces chapter.
For further information regarding optional IEEE interface, refer to the User manual, IEEE Option
chapter.
For further information regarding optional MODBUS TCP or EtherCAT interfaces, refer to MODBUS
TCP or EtherCAT manuals.
