Application Operations with Front USB Port

No data logger or no always connected a computer required

Shortening 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 from the front USB port. Thus, the program operation is available by the power supply only.

Functions with Front USB Port and Standard Attached Software

⑴ 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.

⑵ 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.

⑶ 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 liner more linear characteristic simulation.
Patterns created by the dedicated software can be saved in 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 the 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 conventional configuration with the setting dial

Automated Test Function

The automated test function allows 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 customized original waveforms, and you can use a great variety of applications including testing evaluation, and verification.

※You can create the sequence data using our dedicated software

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 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.

In the CC priority mode, not by releasing the voltage setting and set the CC value to the lowest within the range where the CC state can be maintained.

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 the two modes: "Full" to lock all front panel operations, and "Normal" to lock all operations except the ON/OFF switch.

*In both “Full” and “Normal” modes, Emergency stop is enabled with the POWER ON/OFF switch

“Password Function” a new protection using password along with “Two-mode Lock Function” New function

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

Expandable to 150kW with Master/Slave Control

Easy expansion of your choice up to 150kW

Within the same series, you can increase the capacity using the share cable and parallel control cable (LAN cable). Even if you want to change testing items or targets, you have only to add the necessary amount.

("Master/Slave Control Cable", a Matsusada original set of pre-processed share cable and parallel control cable is available.)

[Sample Connection]

* Master/Slave control cables for PBR series is available as an optional accessory. For details, download the datasheet.

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.

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 PC capacity) so that you can readily run various patterns of tests you have created.

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 areavailable 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, the high-performance data management is provided without a 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

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

CSV output format for step transition condition

Step transition conditions (transition time/transition condition/destination) can be output 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 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.
