Bleeder circuit

WARNING

Risk of electric shock. Set the bleeder circuit to Normal or Hyper before you touch theoutput terminals. If set to Off, the voltage that was present when the output was on
will remain at the output terminals even if you turn off the output or the PWR-01’s
POWER switch.

Turn the bleeder circuit off when you do not want the internal bleeder circuit to sink output current. When
you connect a battery, you can prevent excessive electrical discharges by turning the bleeder circuit off.
Select from the following three types, and click Set to apply.
Bleeder circuit

Description

Off1

Bleeder circuit off.

NormalBleeder circuit on.

Hyper

Bleeder circuit on. “HB” lights on the PWR-01 display.
For details on current sinking with the hyper bleeder, see the PWR-01 Series User’s Manual.
The fall time at no load is reduced to about 70 % of that using the normal bleeder.

Even if the output terminals are open and the output is turned off or the voltage setting is at 0 V, up to several
hundred millivolts of voltage may appear across the output terminals.

• If you close the window by clicking OK without clicking Set, the setting will not be applied
to the PWR-01.
• If Hyper is selected, the fan speed is fixed to the maximum speed regardless of whether asequence is running.

Variable internal resistance
By reducing the output voltage according to the output current, you can easily simulate rechargeable batteries, solar batteries, fuel cells, and other power supplies that have internal resistance.
The variable internal resistance can be configured in constant voltage (CV) mode. For details on the available resistance values, see the PWR-01 User’s Manual.
To turn off the variable internal resistance function, set the resistance to 0 Ω. When the variable internal
resistance function is on, “VIR” lights on the PWR-01 display.
If the output voltage falls to or below 3 % of the rated voltage, the output voltage may not be stable. If thedifference between the voltage setting and the output voltage (voltage drop due to internal resistance) is
less than 20 % of the rated voltage, the accuracy of the resistance setting degrades. It cannot handle transient operation (variation).

Repetition countSet the number of sequence repetitions (1 to 99998 or infinite).

Status monitoring during execution
To monitor the activation of protection functions during sequence execution, select the “I confirm the stateof the protection function” check box.

Protection Settings
There are two protection types: Power Supply Setting and Soft Setting.
• Power Supply Setting (p.24)• Soft Setting (p.26)
Setting all the settings of the following two items to on (factory default value) allows protection functions to be activated accurately.
• Status monitoring during execution (p.18)• Setting limit function of the PWR-01 Series (p.25)

Power Supply Setting
Protection is activated using the protection functions that the PWR-01 Series is equipped with.
On the Sequence menu, click Protection Setup to open the Protection Setup window.

Wavy obtains the protection settings from the connected PWR-01 through communication.
When setting the voltage or current of a step, Wavy limits the input with the protection value
to prevent a value outside the range from being set. Every time you start Wavy, we recommend that you obtain the protection values by clicking Read or Write.

ReadThe settings applied to the connected PWR-01 are read.

Overvoltage protection (OVP) and overcurrent protection (OCP)
Set the voltage and current to use as overvoltage and overcurrent.
Setting range: 10 % to 112 % of the rated output voltage or current
If a step contains a value exceeding the OVP or OCP value, the operation will vary depending on thesequence mode.

24

Operation Guide

SD027-PWR-01

Protection Settings• Hardware control sequence mode: An error occurs, and the sequence is not executed.
• Software control sequence mode: An error occurs when the step containing a value outside the range
is about to be executed, and the sequence is aborted.

Undervoltage limit (UVL)
Set the voltage use as undervoltage. Values less than this value will be considered outside the range.
Setting range: 0 % to 105 % of the rated output voltage
The UVL value is enabled when the PWR-01’s voltage setting limit is specified. For details, see “Setting
limit function of the PWR-01 Series” (p.25).
If a step contains a value less than the UVL value, the operation will vary depending on the sequence mode.
• Hardware control sequence mode: An error occurs, and the sequence is not executed.
• Software control sequence mode: An error occurs when the step containing a value outside the range
is about to be executed, and the sequence is aborted.

Protection Delay
You can set the amount of time that must elapse before the output is turned off when the OCP is activated.

Breaker Trip ON
This setting applies to the PWR-01 2000W model. When you select this check box, the PWR-01 circuit
breaker trips when the protection function that shut off the output is activated.

WriteClicking Write will set the values to the PWR-01.
If you close the window by clicking OK without clicking Write, the setting will not be applied to
the PWR-01. If this is the case, the values set in the PWR-01 beforehand will be valid.

Setting limit function of the PWR-01 Series
The PWR-01 series has three setting limits: voltage, current, and undervoltage.

Voltage and current setting limits
The maximum value is limited to 95 % of the OVP or OCP value. This function is set to on by factory
default for voltage and current.
If you enable the voltage or current setting limit when the current setting is higher than 95 % of the OVP or
OCP value, the voltage or current setting is retained, but the OVP or OCP value is changed to 105 % of
the voltage or current setting.
You cannot turn the setting limit function on and off from Wavy. If you need to change the setting, use the PWR-01 CONFIG settings (voltage: CF23, current: CF22). For details, see the
PWR-01 Series User’s Manual.

Undervoltage limit (UVL)
The minimum voltage that can be set is limited to the UVL value. This function is synchronized to the on/off
state of the voltage setting limit (CF23). By factory default, the voltage setting limit is set to on.
If you enable the voltage setting limit when the voltage is set less than the set UVL value, the voltage isretained, but the UVL value is changed to the voltage.

Overvoltage protection (OVP) and overcurrent protection (OCP)
Select the check boxes, and set the voltages and currents. The maximum values that you can enter do notdepend on the rated output of the connected PWR-01.
If you set OVP or OCP, the sequence execution will stop when the monitored value reaches or exceeds
the set value.

Undervoltage protection (UVP)
Select the check boxes, and set the voltages and currents. The maximum values that you can enter do notdepend on the rated output of the connected PWR-01.
If you set UVP, the sequence execution will stop when the monitored value goes below the set value.

Ignoring the first monitored values
Because the first monitored values are unstable, they may activate a protection function and stop thesequence execution.
If you select the check box, the sequence execution will continue even when the first monitored values
exceed or fall below the protection values.

Description

Roll mode

The X-axis and Y-axis are scrolled at the same time.
The display range is defined by subtracting the minimum time from the maximum time.

Normal mode

The minimum time is fixed. The maximum time is updated to the appropriate value.
If you select the Scrolling within the specified range check box, the graph is scrolled
when the monitored values exceed the maximum time of the X axis. The scroll start
position is determined by subtracting the minimum time and the set scroll time from the
maximum time.
For example, if the minimum time is set to 0 seconds, the maximum time to 23 seconds,
and the scroll time to 10 seconds, scrolling starts after 23 seconds elapse (at 23 - 0 - 10
= 13 seconds).
