Functions

Sink Current Suppression

RK series featured function to sink current, and enables to decrease the voltage quickly when turning off the output or when controlling the voltage down, which increases the safety of operation. In the case of continuous aging tests in short intervals, quick voltage fall time increases the efficiency of the process. On the contrary by using sink current prevention function, it is possible to prevent voltage drop on the load by decreasing the current flow from the load to the power supply when turning off the power supply or when decreasing the output voltage.

Note: It is not possible to stabilize the output by controlling the back current. In case of load which has inverse voltage or over rated voltage, such as inductive load or regenerative motor, protect the power supply by adding a dummy resister or diode to prevent back current.

Multi Setting Function

Function to memorize three different voltage and current settings in addition to the standard preset function. No need to adjust the output when different settings, and convenient function for production inspection process or testing which require frequent data taking.

Multi Setting Function | RK series | DC power supply Benchtop | Matsusada Precision

Two-mode Lock Function

Function to select two different lock functions for two different purpose. "Full Lock" locks all the functions on front panel, and "Normal Lock" locks all the functions except for ON/OFF. "Full Lock" mode is suitable when misoperation must be completely prevented, while "Normal Lock" mode is appropriate when misoperation should be avoided but an emergency stop of the power supply must remain possible. You can select the best mode according to your level of "Security".

(Each modes, emergency stop is possible with power switch.)

Full LOCK

Lock all the functions other than reset lock mode, and effective for the purpose of avoiding misoperation when controlled

Two-Mode Lock Function

Normal LOCK

Lock voltage and current setting dial, and effective for the purpose of avoiding changing output setting by mistake or when an easy emergency stop is required.

Normal LOCK

Delay Trigger Function

Delay Trigger Function * t1 to t 8 can be set in the range 0.0 s to 99.9 s.

This function enables the power supply to be set to delay the output trigger timing. Either in the case of a single unit of RK series power supply or in case of multiple power supplies in Master-slave connection *1, it is possible to use this feature among multiple DC power supplies *2 having individually different output voltage/current setting *3

  1. Can be connected up to 16 pieces.
  2. R4K-36 series, R4K-80 series, RK-80 series, RKT series, TB series and REK series. A detailed datasheet for each model is available. Please contact the nearby sales office.
  3. Only for slave-local. In the case of slave remote control, the exact same model of power supply needs to be used. Also, in the case of slave-local, each output voltage and current can be set individually. In the case of slave-remote, output voltage, and current can be set with a one-control function in which each slave unit follows the master unit setting.

Dual Tracking, Multiple Outputs

Dual tracking control, which enables both positive and negative outputs simultaneously in master-slave operation, is possible. Multi outputs and various versatile operations are also possible by combining the above dual tracking control and slave local mode. Positive and negative output (+V, -V) of dual tracking control and set output voltage of slave local mode can be output simultaneously by turning on the master unit.

Multiple Outputs

Two Features in -LDe Option

(1) Function for Pulse & Ramp and Master Follow

Output control as Next A to D is possible.

A. Pulse (Step) Sequence Function

The Sequence function lets you generate complex voltage and current patterns by automatically cycling through settings stored in memories a, b, and c. You can run the sequence continuously or for a specified number of cycles. By setting the duration of any step (a, b, c, or off) to 0.0, you can easily skip steps to create custom test patterns. This flexibility is ideal for product evaluation and reliability testing.

A. Pulse Sequence

The parameters ta, tb, tc, and toff can be set to 0.0 s, or from 1.0 s to 99.9 h.

B. Ramp Function

The Ramp function provides linear control to gradually increase the output to a set voltage/current, or decrease it to zero. This feature is useful for applications that require a slow power-up or power-down.

* The ramp operation can be applied to: Voltage and Current, Voltage Only, or Current Only.

B. Ramp

The t1 and t2 parameters can be set from 0 s to 999 s.

C. Combined Sequence and Ramp

For advanced control, the Sequence and Ramp functions can be used together. This allows you to create complex profiles by smoothly ramping the voltage and/or current between the discrete steps defined in memories a, b, and c. The entire waveform can be run continuously or for a pre-set number of cycles, making it a powerful tool for various testing scenarios.

C. Pulse Sequence + Ramp

t1 and t2 can be set from 0 s to 999 s, while ta, tb, tc, and toff can be set to 0.0 s or from 1.0 s to 99.9 h.

D. Master Follow (Tracking)

Master-follow is a function that allows the slave equipment to follow the output status of the master equipment in a master-slave connection. The output status of the master equipment is transmitted to the slave equipment to enable interlocked operation. The master and slave can be set to different modes of operation, allowing for complex testing.

* The master follow function is only available with the standard interface.

D. Master Follow

Note: (1) This function cannot be used in conjunction with the delay trigger function. (2) Time accuracy in sequence operation is ±0.5%. Take care when using the product in long-term running operations.

(2) Sweep Control Programming

Easy programming of sweep operation!
With the -LDe option, the available sweep commands are adapted by setting the arrival time and arrival conditions (voltage/current). Since there is no need to set commands that are repeated step by step, it is easier to create new programs and change conditions, saving a great deal of operation time. It also contributes to securing time for development, research, etc.
