i Series II / iX Series II / iM Series II

Parameter

Specification

Note: Disconnect any USB connection when using the RS232 interface.

USB Interface:

Standard USB 1.1 peripheral.
Data transfer rate: 460,800 bps
Syntax: IEEE 488.2 and SCPI.

Note:

Use of the USB port to control more than one power source

from a single PC is not recommended, as communication may not be
reliable. Use GPIB interface for multiple power source control.

LAN Interface:

Option –LAN. When the LAN interface is installed, the RS232 interface is
disabled.

RJ45 Connector, 10BaseT, 100BaseT or 1000BaseT,
Data transfer rate: 460,800 bps
Protocol: TCP/IP.
Syntax: IEEE 488.2 and SCP
Note: Disconnect any USB connection when using the LAN interface.

Current Limit
Modes:

Two selectable modes of operation.
Constant current and constant voltage with hold-off time and trip.

Function Strobe

Isolated open collector output available between pin 31 (High) and pin
14 (Low) of the System Interface connector (J22). Negative going
pulse on any programmed voltage or frequency change.
Function strobe output can be reassigned as trigger output when
running list transients.
This output requires a external DC supply and pull-up resistor.

Remote Inhibit

Also referred to as Remote On/Off. Digital input available on pin 36
and pin 27 (D-Common) of the System Interface connector (J22). The
Remote inhibit input can be used to open the output relay. The output
relay state is not latching so will return to the closed state when the
input is removed.

2.1.7 Unit Protection

Parameter

Specification

Input Overcurrent:

Circuit breaker with shunt trip control.

Input Overvoltage:

Automatic shunt trip of input circuit breaker.

Input Overvoltage
Transients:

Surge protection to withstand EN50082-1 (IEC 801-4, 5) levels.

Output Overcurrent:

Adjustable level constant current mode with a maximum set point
between 0% and 10% above programmed value.

Output Short Circuit:

Peak and rms current limit.

Overtemperature:

Automatic shutdown.
