The Genesys™ family of programmable power supplies sets a new standard for flexible, reliable, AC/DC power systems in OEM, Industrial and Laboratory applications. Now available in more power levels (750W, 1.5kW, 3.3kW, 5kW, 10kW and 15kW) and with output voltages from 7.5 to 600V, and current up to 1,000A. Active PFC, and universal input head a long list of standard features.

In addition to highest power density, for the first time a universal input is available in this size and power. The wide range input is not just dual range, but continuously variable from 85-265VAC, single phase, 50/60Hz. It also features Active Power Factor Correction of 0.99 at full load, another first in this size and density. This assures operation in difficult AC environments and meets European EMC requirements.

The user-friendly front panel provides reliable control through encoders selectable for fine or course adjustment (6 or 30 turns) and four digit LED Voltage and Current meters. Adjustable OVP, UVL and Current Foldback provide further flexibility. Their set values may be previewed on the front panel display. The Foldback may be set to latch output off if desired for safety.

New Interface Options
The newest option in the Genesys™ family is an LXI Certified LAN Interface. Features include Fast Start-up, Fixed and Dynamic Addressing and LAN Fault Detectors. A LAN equipped Master can also communicate with MD Option equipped Slaves. The interface is compatible with most standard Networks.

Genesys™ 750/1500W includes several other important new features and options. Up to four like units may be connected in parallel and user configured for the Master to Program and Monitor the total current of the group. Thus, four units can appear as a single 3/6kW power supply, increasing flexibility for system designers.

In the Digital Options, a new option called Multi-Drop allows an IEEE Multi-Drop Master to control Multi-Drop equipped Slaves over RS-485, avoiding the cost of a GPIB board in every slave power supply. Up to 31 may be addressed over the RS-485 lines of Master and Slaves.

Significant safety features include Safe Re-Start and Last Setting Memory. With Safe Re-Start, the user can select whether the Genesys™ power supply returns to previous settings after power off, or returns to zero (safe) output, waiting for user instructions. Last Setting Memory retains settings of output voltage and current, remote or local mode, OVP and UVL, Foldback, Baud Rate and Start Up Mode, without battery. Front Panel controls also include Output On/Off and Local/Remote selection. The Front Panel may be locked locally or by software command.

Like other Genesys™ products, the 1U 750/1500W includes standard, embedded 16 bit RS232/RS485 digital interface. Through this digital interface up to 31 power supplies may be controlled in daisy chain over the RS485 line. Analog remote programming is user selectable 0-5V or 0-10V via DIP switches on the rear panel. The design of Genesys™ power supplies is highly modular to offer short lead times. SMT technology provides high reliability.

Digital and isolated analog interfaces are optional. The optional IEEE digital interface is IEEE488.2 & SCPI compliant. Labview Drivers are available. Isolated analog programming options include either 0-5V & 0-10V or 4-20ma control.
