Data Sheet

www.bkprecision.com

Technical data subject to change

The B&K Precision XLN series are programmable,

single-output DC power supplies, that provide

clean power up to 1560 watts in a compact 1U

rackmountable package. Comparable supplies

from other manufacturers primarily address the

ATE market only, while the XLN series is designed

for both benchtop users and system integrators.

For benchtop applications, these power supplies

offer built-in voltage and current meters

displaying setting and output values concurrently,

as well as an intuitive user interface with full

keypad and rotary knob.

function

■Easy to configure master/slave mode for series

or parallel connection of up to four units

Standard USB, RS485, and optional GPIB and

LAN interfaces combined with fast average

command processing times of less than 50 ms

make the XLN series ideal for ATE applications.

Free application software and a complete set of

LabVIEW™ drivers are available to provide

remote control capabilities, reduce programming

time, and increase productivity.

When greater output power is required, up to

four XLN models can be connected in series

(high current models only) or parallel and

synchronized with the RS485 interface.

Alternatively, the RS485 interface can be used

to daisy chain up to 31 units and to remotely

control them from one master PC via USB, GPIB,

or LAN interface.

These power supplies are perfectly suited for

ATE systems integration, product design and

development, product QC and burn-in testing,

and other applications requiring excellent

regulation, high power, low noise, and a wide

range of voltage and current ratings.

Interfaces

Front panel operation

The numeric keys and rotary knob provide a convenient interface for setting output levels quickly and precisely. Both measured output values and setting values are

concurrently displayed on the screen. Additionally, the power supplies provide internal memory for storage of up to 10 different instrument settings that can be set

and recalled via both the front panel and remote interfaces.

Programmable DC Power Supplies

XLN Series

Flexible configuration

Up to four models with the same rating can be

connected in parallel or series (high current

models only) and operate in master/slave mode.

The RS485 interface is used for communication

between the master and slave(s). Once configured,

the master will automatically search for and detect

slave units, and display the voltage and current of

the complete system.

To protect your DUT, the XLN series provides

more safety features than any other system power

supply in this category: overvoltage (OVP),

overcurrent (OCP), overpower (OPP), and

overtemperature (OTP) protection. When a fault

occurs, the power supply will turn off the output,

sound an alarm, and display an error message.

Similarly, with constant voltage-to-constant current

(CV-to-CC) or constant current-to-constant

voltage (CC-to-CV) foldback protection mode

activated, the supply will shut down if load changes

force the supply to transition between the two

operating modes. The power supply is also able

to detect abnormally low AC input power and

turn the output off when this condition occurs.

The remote sense feature can compensate for

voltage drop in the load wiring.

Convenient front panel guided

calibration

Using a 5 ½ digit multimeter and a current

shunt, voltage and current parameters can be

conveniently calibrated from the front panel via

the calibration menu.

Parallel Configuration

Series Configuration

(high current models only)

Master/Slave operation Extensive device protection

Remote sense

The high current XLN models offer an additional

output with a constant output voltage of 5 V and

a maximum output current of 1 A for powering

another device.

Fixed 5V/1A output (high current

models only)

Power Line

The XLN series can be used to accurately

measure the time for a fuse or circuit breaker to

open. After the voltage and current levels are

set, the On/Off button turns on the output

and the time when the fuse/breaker opens is

measured to the nearest 100 µs. The maximum

counting period is one hour.

Programmable DC Power Supplies

XLN Series

Remote access and programming

These power supplies offer standard USB

along with optional GPIB and LAN interfaces

to facilitate test system development and

integration. The XLN series supports SCPI

IEEE488.2 and come with LabVIEW™ drivers.

System integration

The power supply can be controlled with SCPI

commands via a Telnet connection over the

Ethernet interface. Any computer with a Telnet

client can be used to control the power supply.

Telnet interface

PC software is provided for creating and executing

test sequences in list mode via the USB or GPIB

interface.

Generate, save, and load program lists. View

output characteristic curves and export data to a file.

Pass/Fail test monitors maximum and minimum voltage

and current values over a specified period of time.

Application software

XLN series models with GPIB and LAN interfaces

provide a built-in web server that allows users to

configure, control, or monitor the basic settings

of the power supply from a remote computer

using a web browser.

Web server interface

The list mode feature allows users to download a

list of commands to the power supply’s internal

memory and execute them. Up to 10 sets of

programs can be stored with a total of 150 steps

allocated among the memory locations. The test

sequence can be programmed remotely via the

USB, GPIB, or LAN interfaces using SCPI

commands or the included application software.

Each step’s voltage, current, and duration

parameters can be set, with sequences

configured for single or repeated execution.

Test sequence execution in list mode

In addition to front panel or remote interface

control, voltage and current values can also be

programmed with an analog control signal. The

power supplies can be externally controlled from

zero to full scale by either an analog voltage

source (0-5 V/0-10 V selectable) or resistance

(0-5 kΩ, 0-5 kΩ/0-10 kΩ selectable for high

voltage models). High voltage models also

provide additional functions to the analog

programming interface such as the ability to

monitor the output voltage and current, check

regulation mode (CC or CV), and indicate

whether a fault has occurred.

External analog programming

interface

Interface for controlling voltage, current,

and output state.

In multi-unit control mode, up to 31 units can be

daisy chained via RS485 and controlled from one

master unit through the USB, GPIB, or LAN

interface.
