Options and Functions for the G5.RSS Series

The TFE time-based function generator allows programming either through G5.Control operating software, HMI touch display, or various interfaces.

  • Time-dependent functions U = f(t), I = f(t),
    P = f(t): sine, triangle, or square as well as user-
    defined data points. Import and export through
    CSV files supported
  • Ramp function for amplitude and offset changes
  • Small signal modulation up to 10 kHz

Sweep functionality for TFE
As an add-on to the TFE time-based function generator, the sweep mode allows for continuous or stepwise sweeping of the amplitude and the frequency of a programmed function. Both the amplitude and the frequency may be swept linearly or exponentially. This sweep function together with the high modulation bandwidth of 10 kHz makes devices well suited to electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) of batteries, fuel cells, and electrolyzers.

G5 Time Base function – timing option for REGATRON programmable power supplies

The AAP application area programming feature allows to set the DC output voltage or current or power as a function of any of the input values IDC, UDC, or PDC. The functional relationship is given by a user-defined curve whose values are managed by CSV import/export. In this way, a wide variety of nonlinear electrical two-pole networks can be defined, e.g., photovoltaic arrays or fuel cell curves. The figure shows the typical fuel cell characteristics with a voltage/current dependence. Embedded calculation on board the G5.RSS assures real-time simulation.

The HMI built into the front panel allows comprehensive and convenient operation of the power supply via touch display or the WebAPI (REST) interface. With the remote control unit (RCU) it is possible to control the device or system from a distant location in the same manner as with the HMI.

G5 HMI Remote Control Unit – user interface option for REGATRON programmable power supplies

The CAN multi-protocol (CANmp) interface has a 1 kHz data rate, a 16-bit resolution, and is adaptable to any proprietary CAN bus. In addition, it supports dbc file handling.

Order Code: CANmp

The EtherCAT slave interface (ECAT) supports configuration by ESI file and communicates in a 1 kHz cycle. It transmits the entire process data in the same cycle, i.e. commands, actual states, and actual values. Acyclic communication via mailbox for device configuration is also possible. 

Order Code: ECAT

SCPI, Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments, are ASCII s trings, which are sent to the device over TCP/IP using the LAN socket. They can perform set operations or query operations.

Discharging of the AC filter (XCD), is mandatory when using the device with a plug connection. XCD ensures a discharge time of the AC filter less than 1 s as required by EN 62477-1

Order Code: XCD

Based on the 80 V models, also a 60 V SELV version is available.
