Compact rack mount DC power supplies for ATE System Integrators and Benchtop Users

B&K Precision has extended its power supply line with a new XLN series of DC Power Supplies that provide up to 1440 watts of power in a compact 1U, full-rack case for rack mounting in an ATE environment, or for bench top use.

The XLN series contains four base models to choose from with various output voltage and current selections and optional GPIB/LAN interface. All units include free application software for remote control capability without the need for computer programming.

Due to XLN series power supplies compact size, and high power density with fast processing times below 50ms, make for easy integration into test systems, while front to rear airflow circumvents interference with other mounted devices.

Bench top users of the XLN series can interact with a full keypad and rotary encoder knob for easy interface, and precise voltage and current adjustments. User can create up to 150-step test sequences, which are executed from internal memory.

All four base models use standard USB and RS485 interfaces with SCPI protocol. Otional GPIB and LAN interfaces are available to make the XLN series flexible for any test situation. This option includes a built-in web server, which controls basic power supply settings through a web browser. Another feature is the master and slave mode, which simplifies configuration and control of several power supplies connected in series and parallel while using the RS485 interface for synchronization.

Each XLN unit includes a comprehensive protection design for safe interfacing with any unit under test.

Price: At $2275 for the base models and $2495 for the GL versions with GPIB/LAN interfaces added
