AG7435

The power supplies of the AG7435 Family house 12 / 24 independent high voltage channels.

The channels share a Common Ground, with all output returns hardwired to the chassis/crate ground. The board is available with positive or negative output polarity Channels are delivered with SHV /Radiall 52 connectors. Consult our connectors reference page for technical information.

The output voltage range is 0 ÷ 3500 V, with 5 mV monitor resolution. The output channels offer dual current ranges (software selectable):

Independently programmable for each channel:

Safety features includes:

• Channels: can be enabled or disabled through the Global Interlock logic.

• Overvoltage and Undervoltage warning: when the output voltage differs from the programmed value.

• Overcurrent detection: When a channel attempts to exceed the programmed current limit, it signalled to be in “overcurrent” and enter in a TRIP status. The output voltage is varied to keep the current below the programmed limit for a programmable TRIP time, then the channel is switched off. If TRIP is set to “constant current mode”, the channel behaves like a current generator.

• Hardware VMAX and IMAX Maximum output voltage and maximum current value can be fixed, via front panel potentiometer, at the same common value for all the board channels. IMAX and VMAX values can be read out via software.

• Safety Board Interlock This protection disables the HV generation when the HV outputs are not connected to their loads (only for Multipin Connector versions).

To create cables compatible with versions equipped with Radiall 52 connectors, CAEN provides two accessories: the Mate cable connector (Model A996) and the corresponding insertion/extraction tool (Model A995).

CAEN provides a complete software range to control, monitor and configure its Power Supply products.

• GECO2020 GEneral COntrol Software

• CAEN HV Wrapper Library,

• HiVoCS web tool

• OPC Server for CAEN Power Supplies

• EPICS Service

These tools, which support the most used operating systems, spread from low level libraries (CAEN HV Wrapper Library), to be used as a source for customer designed software, to the WEB interface (HIVOCS) available on each mainframe, up to the all-inclusive Control Software (GECO2020) with user friendly graphical interfaces, to meet any application need.

Advanced control via OPC Server (CAEN OPC Server) and EPICS (EPICS IOC) is supported, to easily include CAEN power supplies within existing setups featuring such standards. All CAEN Control Software are available for free download.
