Constant current/constant voltage (CC/CV) charge

Four multiple operating modes

Constant Current (CC) Discharge

Constant Current (CC) Discharge graph

A set current is discharged. Even if the terminal voltage changes during discharge, a constant current can flow.

Constant Resistance (CR) Discharge

Constant Resistance (CR) Discharge graph

A set resistance is used to discharge. The discharge current value is determined according to the set value by measuring the terminal voltage value.

Constant Power (CP) Discharge

Constant Power (CP) Discharge graph

A set power value is used to discharge. If the terminal voltage changes during discharge, a certain amount of power can be consumed according to the change.

Constant Voltage (CV) Discharge

Constant Voltage (CV) Discharge graph

A set voltage value is used to discharge. Even if the terminal current changes during discharge, it can be operated at a constant voltage.

Auto switching between operating modes

With the auto switching, the operating mode where the load current is minimized is automatically set in response to the set value. The individual function of CC+CV mode, CR+CV mode, and CP+CV mode using the auto switching remains as it is.

Switching mode

The mode enables to switch periodically between two values. It is available for CC mode, CR mode, CP mode, and CV mode.

Slew rate (in CC mode, Range H)
30 A/µs to 1 mA/µs Setting resolution 1 mA/µs
Frequency
0.1Hz to 0 kHz Setting resolution 0.1Hz
Duty cycle
0% to 100% Setting resolution 0.1%

Sequence Function

  • Current/voltage/power/resistance setting value of each program (Available for the mode where the load current is minimized)
  • Step setting time 10us to 1000h
  • The setting is available for up to 1,024 steps of 10 programs.
  • Repetition frequency: infinite, or 1 time to 10000 times

The sequence function offers setting of step time, amplitude, ramp, and along with end of sequence, so you can create programs on the front panel.

The waveform pattern of sequence function

VI mode

It is possible to register up to 128 by combining the voltage value with the current ones. The mode provides a simulation of loads such as laser diodes and LEDs which have non-linear resistance characteristics.

Options

Optical Interface Board *

Isolation control is performed by optical communication. As complete isolation is performed by means of optical fiber, this enables advance prevention of erroneous operation comprising transient phenomena resulting from surges, inductive lightning, external noise, etc.

(The standard interface is not included in the option.)

  • -LGob: Optical interface board + optical cable 2 m
  • -LGob(Fc5): Optical interface board + optical cable 5 m
  • -LGob(Fc10): Optical interface board + optical cable 10m
  • -LGob(Fc20): Optical interface board + optical cable 20 m
  • -LGob(Fc40): Optical interface board + optical cable 40 m

When using the power supply under the following conditions, please select the -LGob option.

  • Noisy environment including factories (Example: Motors or coils are used near power supplies and loads)
  • Using with high voltage floating (more than 250 V)
  • The installation distance between power supply and controller (PL or PLC) produced by Matsusada Precision is more than two meters.
