CONTENTS

I — DESCRIPTION.The BOP 1KW-MG/ME Series hereafter referred toas BOP, are true 4-quadrant programmable voltageand current power supplies, meaning they are capa-ble of both sourcing and sinking power (see Figure1). These bipolar power supplies pass smoothlythrough zero without switching to provide true ± volt-age and ± current. These BOP power supplies useswitch mode techno logy for low dissip ation. A bi-directional, isolating, a-c input power factor correct-ing (PFC) circuit recuperates energy sinked from anactive load and sends it back into the line to maintainlow dissipation.

These BOP power supplies are controlled digitallyfrom a menu-driven front-panel keypad or one of theremote digital interfaces (GPIB o r RS 2 32 on MG

models, LAN or RS 232 on ME models) to set volt-age and current and the four protection limits (+volt-age, –voltage, +current and –current.) A front panelrotary adjuster allows real-time adjustment of theoutput. A large LCD displays the mode of operation,the settings, and the actual output voltage and cur-rent. Additionally, these BOP mode ls can beremotely controlled by an analog ±10V input for themain channel (voltage or current), and a +1 to +10Vinput for the limit channels. BOP models are suitable for driving inductive loadssuch as large magnets or motors, and for exercisingbatteries. They are a lso suitable for chara cterizingsolar cell arrays, and powering many electrochemi-cal reactions.

II — UNPACKING.This instrument has been thoroughly inspected andtested prior to p acking and is r eady for operation.After careful unpacking, inspect for shipping damagebefore attempting to operate. Perform the “Installa-

tion.” on p age 5. If a ny indication of damag e isfound, file an immediate claim with the responsibletransport service.

HOW TO MODIFY A PARAMETER. First access the parameter by accessing the propermenu as described above. To modify a p arameterlisted in a menu or submenu, proceed as follows:

1. Highlight the parameter using the Y and U keys.2. When the desired choice is highlighted, press !

to modify the active setting. The choices are dis-played with the a ctive setting highlighted. In th ecase of numerals, the units digit is highlighted.

• To change a numeric setting, press the num-ber keys, then press ENTER to program thenumbers entered. Use the CLEAR key toclear numbers entered and start over. TheADJUST control can also be used to incre-ment or decrement t he highlighted digit.Pressing ADJUST while rotating adjusts theleast significant digit. If the output is on (un itnot in Standby) changes made using the

081817 228-1692 REV 7 11


ADJUST control are immediately applied tothe output.

• For alphanumeric characters use multiplepresses of the number keys for letters or sym-bols: 0 (space), 1 (+, –, / ), 2 (ABC), 3(DEF), 4 (GHI), 5 (JKL), 6 (MNO). 7(PQRS), 8 (TUV), 9 (WXYZ). Use the Tkey to highlight the next character. As an alter-native, the U or Y keys or ADJUST controlwill scroll through numbers, and letters andsymbols. Use the CLEAR key to clear theentire alphanumeric field and start over

3. Press $ to apply the change and return to themenu (to change another parameter, repeat steps1 and 2). To abort (return to the menu withoutapplying the change), press %.

NOTE:Press HELP key for more information,press HELP again to see mu ltiplescreens; press CLEAR key to exit thehelp screen.

ADJUSTING LCD BRIGHTNESS, CON-TRAST AND BACKGROUND From the power-up screen, (Figure 5), press # twice to initiate con-trast adjustment. The cont rast gradually alternatesbetween light and dark. When the contrast is accept-able, press # to apply the change and exit contrastadjust. Use the T and R keys for fine adjustmentof contrast. Contrast can also be a djusted from thepower-up screen by pressing # once, then press-ing T and R as needed for fine adjustment.

To change the background, press # from thepower-up screen, Highlight Background, press !,highlight Black or White, then $ to save. Press $exit and save for power-up or % to ap ply thechanges (without saving for power-up) and exit.

ENABLING/DISABLING AUDIBLE BEEPS From the p ower-up screen, press #, then modifythe setting. Even though audible beeps are set to off,the beeps will still sound upon power-up or detectionof a power supply fault.

SETTING VOLTAGE OR CURRENT MODE The BOP use s two sep arate channels, one to setoutput voltage or current and one to set the corre -sponding protection limit. The main channel is deter-mined by th e MODE key (in local mode) whichalternately selects either Voltage mode or Currentmode or by SCPI command (in digital remote mode).The protection channel is determined automaticallyby the main channel selected. When Voltage mode

is selected, the current protection channel is active,and when Current mode is selected, the Voltage pro-tection channel is active. PROGRAMMING VOLTAGE OR CURRENT AND ASSOCIATED PROTECT LIMITS Fromthe power-up screen the sett able voltage/currentparameters are displayed at the bottom of the LC Dabove the HELP message. Use Y or U to highlightthe main or protect channel.

1. To verify that the unit is configured for internal ref-erences press $ from the power-up screen andverify that Reference Input and Protection Limitare set to Internal, and External Mode is set toDisable. If necessary to change a setting, use Yor U to highlight the parameter, and press ! tomodify. Highlight the desired selection and press$ to save, then press $ to save for power-upor % to exit. If an alog programming is desired,refer to Operator’s Manual.

2. Verify that the load type has been configuredproperly to e nsure that the unit behaves asexpected when the output is of f (see “” onpage 13 for details).

3. Press MODE key to select the main chan nel(VOLTAGE or CURRENT); the associated PRO-TECT channel is automatically selected and dis-played.

4. Set the output on o r off as desired using theSTANDBY key. The output is off (disabled) whenthe STANDBY indicator is lit, on (enabled) whennot lit.

5. Use Y or U to highlight the main channel. Thereare two ways to program the output in local mode.These methods can be used either when the out-put is disabled (STANDBY indicator lit) orenabled.

WARNING:

When the ADJUST control isrotated, the active parameter isimmediately effective if the outputis enabled (on = STANDBY indica-tor not lit). The voltage/currentapplied to the load changes as theADJUST control is rotated.

• Use the ADJUST control to increa se ordecrease the main channel setting (e.g., volt-age when the un it is in volt age mode). Startwith the most significant digit of the d esiredvalue, then use T to highlight the next digit.

12 228-1692 REV 7 081817


For fine adjustment press the ADJUST controlin while rotating the knob to modify the leastsignificant digit.

• Enter the desired value on the keypad usingthe number keys. For example, to program theBOP to 75.8V, press the following keys inorder 75.8 then press ENTER. For fineadjustment use Y, and U to modify the leastsignificant digit. T o correct the en try beforeactivation press the CLEAR key to set thevalue to zero and start over. When the desiredvalue is displayed, press ENTER. This causesthe new value to appear at the output and beapplied to the load if the output is enabled.

6. To program the cor responding Protect channel,press Y or U as necessary to highlight the Pro-tect channel. Then set the value u sing either ofthe two methods described above. If the ProtectEntry setting is set to Independent, separateentries for the positive and negative protect chan-nel are possible. Otherwise the value entered isapplied to bo th positive and negative protectchannels.

NOTE: The BOP can be configured to showthe protection limits as either a singlevalue that applies to both protectionchannels or show individual settingsfor positive and nega tive protectionlimits. See Operator’s Manual fordetails

SOFTWARE LIMITS. Software limits preventprogramming of the main chan nel or the Protectchannel beyond the software limit value. Re fer toOperator’s Manual for a fu ll explanation of softwarelimits.Changing Main Channel Software limit. This procedure allows the user to determine themaximum value of voltage or current that can b eprogrammed.

1. Press % from the power-up screen to enter theGeneral Setup menu, then highlight Max/Min Set-tings.

2. Press ! to enter the Max/Min Settings submenu(Figure 6). (If a Password is required, see Opera-tor’s Manual for instructions.)

3. Highlight the voltage or current max/min va lueand press ! to change it. Sof tware limits areabsolute values (do not use minus sign for nega-

tive limits). Use number keys to change the set-ting, then $ to save.

4. When complete, press $ to save for power-up,# to abort, or % to apply the changes (withoutsaving for power-up) and exit.

5. Upon return to the power-up screen, the mainchannel (voltage or current) is compared againstthe main channel limits in effect. If the main chan-nel exceeds the limit, it is set to zero.

6. Highlight the ±CPROTECT or ±VPROTECT max/min value and press ! to cha nge it. Softwarelimits are absolute values (do not use minus signfor negative limits). Use number keys to changethe setting. Press $ to save, or % to abort.

7. When complete, press $ to save for power-up,or # to abort, or % to apply the changes (with-out saving for power-up) and exit.

Upon return to the power-up screen, the new protec-tion limit (voltage or current) is compared against theprotection limits in effect. If the ne w protection limitsetting is below the existing setting for the protectionlimit, the protection channel (voltage or current) isset to zero.DETERMINING HOW THE UNIT RESPONDS WHEN OUTPUT IS OFF (LOAD TYPE) TheBOP supports three Load Type selections (see Table5) which determine how the power supply respondswhen the outpu t is of f: ACTIVE, RESISTIVE andBATTERY. The Load Type selection does not affectthe settings of the power supply for ON state; it onlyaffects the main internal reference level and the pro-tection levels during the OFF state.

WARNING

For inductive loads, and especiallysuperconducting magnet typeloads, the inherent offset of theBOP in the OFF state may generatesignificant current in the circuit. Aproperly rated switch in parallelwith a resistor must be connectedbetween the power supply and theload. The switch must be open andthe BOP front panel LCD must read0V, 0A before removing or installingconnections between BOP andload.

Active. Active mode (default setting) is necessar yfor the power supply to function properly and safelywith inductive loads and constant-current-type active

081817 228-1692 REV 7 13


electronic loads. Active mode can also be used withresistive loads. Table 5 indicates how the power sup-ply responds to a command to go from Output ON toOFF. When the output is disabled, the unit is set tovoltage mode, voltage is set to zero and both currentprotect and voltage limit are set to maximum. When

the unit is enabled, the pre-existing settings for volt-age, current protect and voltage limit are restored.

FIGURE 6. MAX/MIN SETTING MENU

WARNING

For both inductive loads and con-stant-current-type active electronicloads when the BOP output is setto OFF, a path is provided forabsorbing either the energy accu-mulated in the reactance of the loadduring the ON state, or energydelivered by an electronic load.

This prevents damage to the loadand power supply as well as pro-viding safety for the user. However,In addition to the built-in safety fea-tures, constant-current-type activeelectronic loads must be adjustedto zero and the BOP front panelLCD must read 0V, minimum cur-rent, before handling the powersupply-to-load connections.

Resistive. This mode, as th e name sugg ests, isuseful for resistive loads. Table 5 indicates how thepower supply respond s to a co mmand to go fromOutput ON to OFF.

WARNING

Accessing the BOP after the outputis disabled in BATTERY mode ishazardous because (1) high currentarcing is possible and (2) either theexternal battery voltage, or the volt-age (±Voltage Protection max) onthe BOP output terminals may bedangerous. Therefore, for batteryand constant-voltage-type activeelectronic loads it is recommendedthat two properly rated externalswitches be installed for safety:one in series with the battery, andone across the BOP output. Afterthe unit is set to OFF, first open theswitch in series with the battery,then close the switch across theBOP output to ensure safety beforehandling BOP connections. Whenconnecting the battery, the switchacross the output should beopened after the connections arecomplete and then the switch inseries with the battery should beclosed. If the constant-voltage-typeactive electronic load is adjusted tozero before handling the powersupply-to-load connections, onlythe switch across the BOP outputis required.

Battery. This mode is necessary for the power sup-ply to function properly and safely with either batteryor constant-voltage-type active electronic loads. Thismode prevents the battery from discharging duringthe OFF state. When the output is disabled (set toOFF), the BOP will go to current mode, current willbe set to zero , with voltage protect and current limitset to maximum. In this way the battery will not bedischarged while the output is OFF . For constant-voltage-type active electronic loads this mode stopsenergy flow during the OFF state. Table 5 indicateshow the power supply responds to a command to gofrom Output ON to OFF.

CONFIGURE LOAD TYPE. To configure, press% from the power-up screen, then highlight LoadType and press ! to m odify. (If a Pas sword isrequired, see Operator’s Manual for instructions.)Highlight Active, Resistive or Battery (see explana-tions and associated WARNINGS above) and press$ to save . Then press $ to save for power-up,# to ab ort, or % to a pply the changes (withoutsaving for power-up) and exit. After configuring, thenew setting will be effective when the power supplygoes from output on to output off.

To restore factory default (Active), press % from thepower-up screen, highlight Load Type, press !,then press @ to restore default. Press $ to savefor power-up or % to exitENABLING/DISABLING OUTPUT POWER. The BOP output can be disabled (OFF) or enabled(ON) by toggling the STANDBY key in local mode.The behavior of the un it when disabled depends onthe Load Type setting (See “” on page 13. and Table5 for details).
