SD032-PCR-WE

Wavy Overview
Sequence Creation Software SD032-PCR-WE Wavy for PCR-WE is used to create and execute
sequences for Kikusui PCR-WE/PCR-WE2 Series or PCR-WEA/PCR-WEA2 Series AC Power Supply.
You can use graphs and spreadsheets to intuitively create sequence steps. The sequence data that you
create are stored and managed in sequence files (.wvy extension). You can write them to a PCR-WE andexecute them when necessary.
Wavy also allows you to create arbitrary waveform data that can be transmitted using the special waveform output feature of the PCR-WE. The arbitrary waveform data that you create is saved and managed inindividual arbitrary waveform files (.arb extension). You can write them to waveform banks in the PCR-WE
or assign them to steps in sequences created using Wavy. You can also use Wavy to monitor and directly
control the PCR-WE as well as control them using commands.

Sequence Overview
Sequences are groups of executable units called steps. In Wavy, first set conditions that apply to all steps
in the Sequence Creation Mode window, and then create the individual steps.
You can create steps in the Graph window and Worksheet window. The setup settings that appear in theWorksheet window vary depending on the sequence creation mode settings. You cannot change thesequence creation mode while a step is being created.
When you execute a sequence, the software automatically applies the settings that are recalled in orderfrom step 0.

Step 0

Step 1

Step 2100 seconds
Step

150 seconds
Step

80 seconds
Ramp

Time

A single execution of a sequence is complete after the sequence’s last step is finished. The maximum
number of steps in a sequence is 600. You can specify the sequence repeat count when transfering asequence to the PCR-WE to run the sequence the specified number of times.
Wavy does not check the validity of the settings for the PCR-WE. Do not set the step to avalue outside the PCR-WE range specifications. You can transfer a sequence containing
invalid values to the PCR-WE, but you will not be able to run it.

If the wiring method is single-phase, three-wire or three-phase, specify the phase voltage. Phase voltage settings
appear as AC U[V], AC V[V], or AC W[V].
You can set the voltage as low as 0.0 V, but even if you do, the actual output voltage will always be in the rangeof 0.1 V to 0.6 V. (The minimum value varies depending on the output voltage range and temperature.)
The values inside the parentheses apply to PCR-WE/PCR-WE2 AC power supply series (with 1.42  firmware
version  2.00.)
If the wiring method is single-phase, three-wire, set according to the selection of “(7) Output Value” (p.21) in the
Sequence Creation Mode window.
When setting with phase voltage, set the voltage for each of the U phase and V phase. For PCR-WEA/PCRWEA2 Series AC Power Supply, when 2P mode is off, the V phase setting is ignored and the V phase outputs
a value with the opposite polarity to the U phase.
When setting with line voltage, set the voltage between the U and V phases.
In the PCR-WE user’s manual, “step” is denoted as “ramp off,” and “ramp” as “ramp on.”To change the voltage linearly over a specified time, select Ramp. To change the value as a step, select Step.
If the interval (step execution time) is short, a smooth straight line may not be obtained for ramp.

Steps are managed in terms of time. If you set S. Phase to FIXED and set the starting phase angle, the step will
start from the specified phase angle.
For example, if you set the starting phase angle of step (n) to 90°, even if the execution of the previous step (n1) finishes, the execution of the next step will not begin until the phase angle reaches 90°. The wait time that isinserted after the execution of a step as a result of setting a phase angle is called phase wait time. The phasewait time is dependent on frequency.

Steps are managed in terms of time. If you set E. Phase to FIXED and set the ending phase angle, the step willend at the specified phase angle.
For example, if you set the ending phase angle of step (n) to 90°, even if the execution of the step (n) finishes,
the execution of the next step (n+1) will not begin until the phase angle reaches 90°. The wait time that is inserted

S.Phase or E.Phase to FIXED will cause phase wait time to be inserted in the sequence. The PCR-WE panel
shows the next step during a phase wait time, but the elapsed time remains at 0 until the next step is actually
started.
For example, during the phase wait time after the execution of step n-1, the PCR-WE panel will show step n. The
status signal is output while the waveform of the step whose status signal is set to on is being output.

Be careful if you want to output waveforms continuously (without sudden phase changes).
For example, if you set the starting phase angle of step n and the ending phase angle of the previous step (n-1),
the phase wait time between the completion of step n-1 and the start of step n may be as long as one period. To
prevent this sort of confusion, we recommend that you set only the starting phase angle if you want to output
waveforms continuously.
If you set Pri. phase to on, S.Phase of the step and E.Phase of the previous step are automatically set to FIXED,and the phase will make a sudden change.
For example, if you set Pri. phase of step n to on, S.Phase of step n and E.Phase of the previous step (n-1) areautomatically set to FIXED, and the phase will make a sudden change. If you set Start[deg] of step n to 270° andEnd[deg] of step n-1 to 90°, when the execution of step n-1 finishes and the phase angle reaches 90°, the execution of step n will begin immediately.

If you set U offset to on and set the U phase offset angle, the U phase will be offset from the reference phase by
the specified angle. By offsetting the U phase, you can suddenly change the phase of one or two phases andsweep the phase.
If you offset the U phase, the U-V and U-W phase difference settings (the UV and UW phase angles specified
by setting UV phase and UW phase to on) will be different from the actual U-V and U-W phase differences.
Therefore, if you do not need to sweep the phase, we recommend that you set the U phase offset to off. For
details, see “Sequence Creation Tutorial” in the PCR-WE User’s Manual.

If the number of monitored data entries exceeds the maximum data size, the oldest
entries will no longer be displayed.
One monitored data entry uses approximately 200 bytes.
When you run a long sequence, we recommend that you use Task Manager to checkthe amount of physical memory being used.

 Changing the monitor graph scale
You can change the X-axis and Y-axis scales of the monitor graph.
To change the scales, right-click the monitor graph, and click Scale to display the Scale window.

If you select Max time, Max current, Max voltage, Max power, Min current, Min voltage, or Min power, auto
scale will be enabled. This feature updates the scale values according to the monitored values.
If auto scale is disabled, monitored values that are outside of the range are not displayed on the graph.
If the Max time check box is selected to enable auto scale, you can select between roll mode and normal
mode.
Mode

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 themonitored values exceed the maximum time of the X axis. The scroll start position is determinedby 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 thescroll time to 10 seconds, scrolling starts after 23 seconds elapse (at 23 - 0 - 10 = 13 seconds).

If the wiring method is single-phase, three-wire or three-phase output and you select normalmode, the “Scrolling within the specified range” check box is always selected (you cannot
clear the check box).
The range of scroll time that you can specify is 4 s to 3600 s for single-phase and 4 s to
600 s for single-phase.

Creating and Transferring Arbitrary Waveforms
Wavy allows you to create, save, and transfer arbitrary waveforms that can be transmitted using the special waveform output feature of the PCR-WE. When you transfer an arbitrary waveform that has beensaved, the waveform data is registered in the PCR-WE waveform bank and in the List of waveform banks(p.74) in Wavy. Arbitrary waveforms that are in the list of waveform banks can be assigned to steps in asequence.
In addition, you can create arbitrary waveforms by importing text data of measurements taken on instruments such as oscilloscopes and data loggers.
• For details on the special waveform output feature of the PCR-WE, see “Generating Special Waveforms (Waveform bank)” in the PCR-WE User’s Manual.
• The maximum number of arbitrary waveforms that can be registered in the PCR-WE is
256.

List of waveform banks
A list containing the information of the arbitrary waveforms in the list of waveform banks is displayed.
From this list, you can read or write all waveforms (waveforms 1 to 256 excluding 0) to completely synchronize the waveform banks between the PCR-WE and Wavy.
To read waveform data from the PCR-WE, click Read.
To write waveform data to the PCR-WE, click Write.
The list of waveform banks is updated when you execute any of the following operations.
• When waveform data is transferred to the waveform bank from the Arbitrary Waveform window(see “Creating and Transferring Arbitrary Waveforms” (p.65))• If the Write Wave is selected when writing a sequence to the PCR-WE from the Transfer window(see “Writing a sequence” (p.45))• If the Read Wave is selected when reading a sequence from the PCR-WE from the Transfer window(see “Reading a sequence” (p.46))

Arbitrary waveform file name of the registered waveform data
All others are default file names.

• By default, when Wavy starts, all waveform names are “SineWave.”• Wavy manages waveform data registered in the list of waveform banks using .arb files.
Therefore, when waveform data is read from the PCR-WE, the data is automatically saved
in a .arb data file.
File names are automatically assigned on the basis of waveform bank numbers (001 to256.) For example, the file name “Wave_001.arb” indicates that the waveform bank number is 01. The files are saved to the Arbitrary Waveform Folder that is specified in the Environment settings (p.60) window. If a file with the same name exists, it is overwritten.
• Output waveform data is stored in the PCR-WE internal memory. The memory area forstoring the data of one output waveform is referred to as a waveform bank. The banks are
assigned number from 0 to 256. Waveform bank 0 contains a sine wave data that is usedin the PCR-WE reference voltage waveform. This waveform bank cannot be overwritten.
In the factory default settings, all waveform banks have the same waveform (sine wave)
as the one that is stored in waveform bank 0.
