Applications for Programmable Digital Power Supplies (DPS)

The potential of a Programmable DPS is the utilization of this device for carrying out process operations in the Master-Slave applications or as a stand alone controller. An important feature of programmable DPS's is the flexibility in operation and programming - see List of Commands & Programming Examples. The examples below explain several different applications and methods of device utilization:
Master-Slave application
Control of other non-Magtorx power drive applications
Control of other DPS’s and non-Magtorx power drive applications
Multiple device applications
Control of programmable and non-programmable DPS’s
Matching DPS’ for utilization with electromagnetic brakes and clutches
De-cogging of hysteresis brakes and clutches
Performance testing - electromagnetic brakes and clutches

Programmable DPS in Master-Slave application - one Master DPS controls a broad activity of all other DPS’s. Only the Master has to be programmed, all the other Slave-DPS’s, in order to be recognized by the Master, only need an electronic address assigned. However, if necessary, each controlled slave-DPS can be individually programmed (see performance matching) to perform in a similar fashion as the rest of the devices. This is useful for electromagnetic brake or clutch applications.

The Master DPS has full control over the Slaves

Fig. 1 The Master DPS has full control over the Slaves and controls the following actions: CURRENT level, ON/OFF, and step duration - timing.

Programmable DPS in control of other non-Magtorx power drive applications – The diagram below shows Magtorx programmable DPS used as a controller for ON-OFF operation of other manufacturers drives or actuators. This is relevant where an application requires the use of a variety of power mechanisms such as DC and AC motors, electromagnetic brakes, clutches, hydraulic and pneumatic actuators or other apparatus. Magtorx programmable DPS is programmed to control dispatch of Addressable Relays connected to such mechanisms.

Fig. 2 The Master DPS controls the following actions: Relays ON/OFF and step duration time. The Master DPS also has full control over the "L0" load. This includes CURRENT level control, ON/OFF, and step duration time of "L0".

Programmable DPS in control of other DPS’s and non-Magtorx power drive applications – The programmable DPS is also used for controlling “mixed” power drive-controllers. Since some applications require the use of different mechanisms, the programmable DPS is able to handle control of other Slave DPS’s and the dispatch of Addressable Relays where non-Magtorx power devices can be switched ON or OFF within the controlled duration of time -see program example).

Programmable DPS in control of other DPS’s and non-Magtorx power drive applications

Fig.3 The Master DPS controls the following actions: CURRENT level, ON/OFF operation, step duration time of all Magtorx devices, and ON/OFF operation and step duration time of all other non-Magtorx drive/controller devices.

One programmable DPS in multiple device applications – This is a setup where one programmed DPS can control multiple power sources, such as: small DC motors, electromagnetic brakes or clutches or even a light source. This is relevant where a “ONE-AT-A-TIME” device is controlled by the same DPS power source (Fig. 4a).

One programmable DPS in multiple device applications

This is also applicable for controlling non-Magtorx power drives/controllers (Fig. 4b) at the same time as the figure above (Fig. 4a).

The Master DPS controls the following actions: CURRENT level, ON/OFF operations, step duration time of all Magtorx devices, ON/OFF operations, and step duration time for all other non-Magtorx drivescontrollers.

Control of programmable and non-programmable DPS’s from a common control source - The diagram below shows the common control signal: RS-232 or 5 V dc use for controlling a group of matched or non-matched DPS’s for a variety of applications.

Control of programmable and non-programmable DPS’s from a common control source

Fig. 5 A common control signal is controlling the operation of all the DPS devices. Independently, each controlled DPS-brake or DPS-clutch coupled together can be programmed (see performance matching) to perform in the same way as the remaining DPS-electromagnetic devices.
