Bidirectional DC Power Supplies (Regenerative DC Power Supplies) PBRM series

Advanced Features with Front USB Port

No data logger or no always connected a computer required

Shortening the time of wiring and preparation, Suited for cycle tests in areas where computers are prohibited.

Features:Built-in data logging

Data logging captures the output data at the fastest interval of 0.1 seconds by inserting the USB memory stick. Also, with the dedicated software MLV, the log data is available in CSV format to output.

Use in places where you cannot always connect a computer

With the dedicated software MSS, you can save the sequence program data to the USB memory and load it from the front USB port. Thus, the program operation is available by the power supply only.

Application Package

Three types of application software are included as standard. Data can be linked using the front USB port.

(1) Test Sequence function: MSS (Matsusada test Sequence Software)

Easy to use for beginners

The MSS allows you to create a test sequence program using the front panel or a computer with the dedicated software (MSS).
The software makes it easier and more convenient to create a test sequence program. The created test sequence program can be saved to USB memory, and up to 1,024 steps of the test sequence program can be loaded.

(2) Operation log display: MLV (Matsusada Log Viewer)

Instant graphing of operation logs

Operation log display function: MLV, the dedicated software can read and graph the operation log.

Easy editing of operation logs

MLV can select items you need and save them in CSV format, so you can also edit the data in spreadsheet software with no problem.

(3) Battery simulator: MBS (Matsusada Battery Simulator)

Easy setting of battery operation with graphs

MBS can readily perform simulations of the I-V characteristic curve for the battery. And, the voltage/current can be set up to 1001 within the rated voltage/current values, enabling more linear characteristic simulation.
Patterns created by the dedicated software can be saved in the USB memory and loaded from the front USB port.
You can perform intuitively by entering numerical values while looking at the graph, or directly dragging the graph to make settings.

Large Color Touch Panel Screen

PBR/PBRM series comes with a large color touch panel, realizing its operability and visibility improvement.

• Easy setting of output voltage, current, power, and other parameters !
• Simple setting to complex sequence program !
• New feature with more selectable error detections !
• Quick check of the power running/regeneration operation mode with colorful display
• Equally available in a conventional configuration with the setting dial

Automated Test Function

The automated test function allows the programming of parameters such as step time, step amplitude, ramp, CV/CC mode, sequence end setting, step jump, and jump count by simply operating on the front panel. This option enables to generate optional waveforms, and you can use a great variety of applications including testing evaluation, and verification.

Program as image

• Step setting time 0.0 to 3,600 s
• For one program, a maximum of 1,024 steps can be configured and saved.
• CV/CC mode can be set for each program.
• Repetition frequency: infinity, or 1 to 999 Program as Image

CV/CC Priority Setting Function

CV (constant voltage) priority/CC (constant current) priority mode can be selected and set. As is the case with diodes, a load tends to suddenly change the resistance at certain points. When the device is started in CV mode, the current will be momentary overshot. In the PBR series, select the CC priority mode to suppress the occurrence of overshoot. The function can reduce the risk of damaging expensive loads such as high-power laser diodes.

Internal Resistance Variation Function (in CV mode)

Set the internal resistance to any value to generate a voltage drop when the load current flows.
Batteries, photovoltaic cells, and fuel cells can be simulated.
(The setting range of the internal resistance value is from 0 Ω to the rated voltage/rated current.)

Residual voltage detection LED

Use for checking residual voltage

The LED on the rear panel blinks when there is voltage remaining on the DC input/output terminals in output or at output off (only in the power running operation).
It is useful for reference to check if the voltage remains. Be sure to check the voltage before the operation of the unit.

Two-mode Lock Function

The lock function is available with two modes: "Full" to lock all front panel operations and "Normal" to lock all operations except the ON/OFF switch.
With the “full” lock mode, all operations on the front panel are locked to prevent erroneous operations. Meanwhile, the “normal” lock mode can lock all operations except the ON/OFF switch in which the emergency stop is enabled. It is a useful function that ensures what you consider to be “safety”. This is a convenient function that ensures what customers consider to be "safety".

Password Function　New function

In this function, to cancel the two-mode lock function, input a 4-digit PIN code. (Enable/Disable is selectable.)

PBR-BT: Battery Charge/Discharge Software (sold separately) NEW

for more intuitive operation

While struggling to develop the charge/discharge software aiming for more intuitive operation, we have finally introduced the dedicated software to PBR/PBRM series.

Battery Cycle Test Software Demo Video
The following video shows an image of its use.

Functions and Features

Simple setting to complex charge/discharge sequences!

Dragging and dropping icons in the following modes for setting It provides the easy operation that enables even a novice in software development to create the software easily.
Once creating a sequence initially, it can be saved and recalled almost unlimitedly (depending on the storage capacity of your computer) so that you can readily run various patterns of tests you have created.

*The setting app screen image

Real-time monitoring of voltage and temperature of each cell

By connecting a data logger, the measurement and checking of the voltage and temperature of each cell are available in real-time.

Quick setting to enable/disable or skip steps

Select the checkbox so that you can immediately enable/disable the set sequence step.
It is available even during the operation, so you do not need to stop the output when you change the same sequence according to your needs.
In addition, the skip function allows you to end the current step and move to the next step by pressing the skip button on the software screen.

High precision data management linked to measurement devices

The high-precision measurement is available with a multimeter instead of the PBR unit.
By connecting a multimeter, measurement data (voltage, current, power (calculated from voltage and current), and temperature) can be imported into our software for batch management.
Thanks to the features, high-performance data management is provided without the troublesome operation of collating the data. It was impossible up until now since conventional charge/discharge software could not be linked to external measuring instruments.

Graph display of PBR/PBRM operation log data

Using MLV, Matsusada precision's operation log display software, the sequence log data appears in the graph.

Step transition condition in CSV format

Step transition conditions (transition time/transition condition/destination) can be created in CSV format.

CSV output format for operation log data

The operation log data (output voltage/current/power/battery charge rate/elapsed time, etc.) can be output in CSV format.
As you have only to pick up only the necessary information and edit it freely using spreadsheet software, etc., it contributes to reducing the time to create experiment reports, etc.

Link with temperature chamber (coming soon)

By linking with a temperature chamber, you can set the execution temperature for each step at the sequence execution. There is no need to configure at the temperature chamber side, which can save the setup time for heat cycle tests, etc.

CAN communication with BMC, BMS, and BMU

With a CAN conversion adapter for PC, you can check commands from BMC, BMS, and BMU via CAN communication as well as use them as the transition condition.

Multiple-use data logger (optional)

Multiple uses of data logger up to 120 channels in 8 units to have the cell voltage, cell temperature, etc. of the battery modules. (Up to 15 channels per unit available as standard equipment) The acquired data is saved and used for charge/discharge safety control, cell balancing as well as deterioration checking of batteries.
