The Model SY527 represents a major breakthrough in power supply systems. Its modularity and flexibility, together with accurate control and reliability, have been carefully designed in order to fulfil almost all the requirements of power supply systems for modern High Energy Physics Experiments. Up to 10 Channel Boards may be plugged into a single crate. Enable of the System can be performed locally or via remote signals sent to front panel connectors. Each crate may be controlled locally or remotely.
Local control is performed manually through a key-pad and an LCD display located on the front panel.
In this case, a sophisticated Software User Interface is available, featuring symbolic names for channels, custom status displays and other features designed to help the management of a large number of channels. The communication software needed for the operation of a multicrate System is built in every unit. Two voltage values and two current limit values can be programmed for each power channel. The voltage slew-rate may be programmed for each channel. The system may be instructed to react to a Power-on or to a Restart bringing all the channels from zero to the programmed value without the User's intervention.
