Using the same heat management innovations developed for Magna-Power’s high density programmable DC power supplies, the ALx Series’ conservative cooling ensures long product life with continuous full power operation in environments up to 50°C ambient operating temperature. The ALx Series provides 16-bit precision in voltage, current, resistance, and power control modes, along with a shunt regulator mode, to act as a "smart" braking resistor to protect devices on the DC bus. Previous DIGITAL CONTROL OPERATING MODES DIGITAL MASTER-SLAVING EXTERNAL USER I/O Next MagnaLINK™ Distributed Digital Control Magna-Power’s MagnaLINK™ technology provides distributed Texas Instrument DSP control across power processing stages inside the MagnaLOAD DC electronic load. This technology follows a significant internal development cycle from Magna-Power to provide a unified digital control platform across its electronic loads and power supplies, featuring fully digital control loops, adjustable control gains, programmable slew rates, digital master-slaving, and many new advanced control technologies. All ARx Series MagnaLOADs come with the following interfaces: Front panel knob, keypad, and menu system 25-pin configurable external user I/O, including a high-speed analog input Front and rear USB and rear RS-485 or optional Ethernet and IEEE-4888 GPIB When in standby or diagnostic fault, the DC input bus is disconnected via a switching device. Finally, with a dedicated +5V interlock input pin and included +5V reference on all models, external emergency stop systems can be easily integrated using an external contact.
