Bipolar power supply series with adaptable digital output control, extreme configurability and 10/100 Mbit TCP-IP and UDP over Ethernet connectivity
The EASY-DRIVER series is a family of current-controlled bipolar power supplies with Ethernet communication.
The series is composed of different models of digital bipolar power supplies differing by their output ratings: ±1 A @ ±12 V, ±2 A @ ±20 V, ±5 A @ ±20 V and ±10 A @ ±20 V units are commercially available.
Despite being the perfect replacement for the SY2064 system modules, the EASY-DRIVER is a perfect solution also for stand-alone and laboratory equipment.
The current control loop, as for most of CAEN ELS power supplies, is digital in order to obtain the maximum flexibility and easiness of configuration to any connected load.
The EASY-DRIVER models present the best performance-to-price ratio, having excellent characteristics while keeping the price at low values.
Low noise and high bandwidth are only two of the main features of these power units, based on a multi-DSP (Digital Signal Processor) architecture.
Internal protections – e.g. over-voltage, over-temperature and others – are implemented as well as an external interlock signal is present. The circuitry to discharge inductive loads is also embedded.
The EASY-DRIVER unit also has a local display in order to locally monitor the output current and output voltage of the unit. LED indicators summarize the status of the power supply in real-time.
The 10/100 Mbit standard Ethernet connection allows controlling the power converter in a very simple and reliable way, especially for large installations.
The use of TCP-IP protocol (UDP also available) with a simple ASCII command list makes the task of interfacing to the power supply units straightforward.
The VISUAL EASY-DRIVER free software application can be downloaded directly on the website and gives a plug-and-play tool to immediately operate the power converter. EPICS IOC (asyn) is available upon request especially for scientific customers that want to integrate the EASY-DRIVER in large accelerator control systems.
A version accepting an external interlock at 24 VDC – e.g. from a PLC – is also available (EDRV1020C001).
