1. Preface 1.1 Products Outline B&K Precision models XLN3640/XLN6024/XLN8018/XLN10014 are programmable DC power supplies with single outputs that offer the maximum power output up to 1440 watts (0 -- 36 V/40 A or 0 -- 60 V/24 A or 0 -- 80 V/18 A or 0 -- 100 V/14.4 A). With a 16-bit D/A, A/D converter embedded, the power supplies come with the resolution of 1mV in voltage setting and 1mA in current setting.
1.2 Features 1) Output Voltage & Current Voltage output range: Current output range: Power output range: 0 -- 36V (XLN3640) / 0 -- 60V (XLN6024) 0 -- 80V (XLN8018) / 0 -- 100V (XLN10014) 0 -- 40A (XLN3640) / 0 -- 24A (XLN6024) 0 -- 18A (XLN8018) / 0 -- 14.4A (XLN10014) 0 -- 1440W 2) Rotary knob, numerical keys and functions keys The rotary knob can be used to rapidly change the output voltage setting and simulate the surge of the voltage output. It offers a good solution for testing triggering circuits.
The series-parallel connection mode of two or more units (maximum to 4 units) significantly increases the combined output power to a maximum of 5760 W. In parallel connection mode of four XLN3640 the maximum output is 36 V/160 A; and in series connection mode of four XLN10014, the maximum output is 400 V/14.4 A. 7) Multi-unit connection mode The RS 485 interface can be used to connect multiple power supplies in series, up to maximum of 30 units. They can be controlled via USB interface with a computer.

By connecting 4 instruments in parallel, the combined unit can offer 36 V/160 A power output. By connecting 4 XLN10014 units in series, the combined supply can output 400 V/14.4 A. Note that you cannot perform both parallel and series mode at the same time.
To set a XLN3640/XLN6024/XLN8018/XLN10014 to slave mode, press in the main screen to enter the series/parallel , , and setting option. And then select the parallel mode by turning the knob (SCPI command is “PS:MODE PARALLEL”) and then press to confirm. It will continue to the next line for the MASTER/SLAVE selection.

Remote Interface communication protocol The communication protocol includes standard SCPI commands and a few proprietary commands which follow the SCPI convention. 6.1 Prefaces The SCPI interface enables users to operate the model XLN3640/XLN6024/XLN8018/XLN10014 supply through a computer or a terminal equipped with IEEE-488.2 GPIB or USB interface. Additionally, it allows remote control and monitoring. SCPI IEEE-488.
characters at the end of each command when programming. 6.3 The Error/Event List SCPI interface can offer an error/event list that contains up to 10 errors/events. Users can read the errors/events through the “error?” command in a first-in firstout manner. Once an error/event is read, the read process will clear it from the memory. To clear all errors/events from the memory, the “*CLS” command is used.

1. Introduction 1.1 Product Summary B&K Precision’s high voltage XLN series are programmable DC power supplies with single outputs that offer maximum power output up to 1560 W. With a 16-bit D/A, A/D converter embedded, the power supplies provide voltage and current resolution of 1 mV and 1 mA. By connecting up to 4 power supplies in parallel, maximum output power can reach 6240 W.
Besides the precise output, the high voltage XLN series also offers the capability to measure voltage and current accurately (readback), saving users the additional expense and space for extra measuring instruments. 4) Internal memory and timer function The high voltage XLN series provides internal memory for storage and retrieval of 10 instrument settings. The instruments provide one timer with the resolution of 1 second. The timers are used to time the outputs.

: 2.13 : LL L FF External Analog Interface A DB25 analog interface connector is available in the rear panel for analog control. The output voltage or output current can be controlled by an external voltage source or resistor connected to the appropriate pins on this connector. The range of the external voltage could be either 0 ~ 10 VDC or 0 ~ 5 VDC and the range of the external variable resistance could be either 0 ~ 10 kΩ or 0 ~ 5 kΩ.
2.13.2 Functions Enabling/Disabling External Control To enable external control, you must first access MENU 6-SPECIAL TEST FUNC 2. EXTERNAL CONTROL, and change the setting on [EXTERN ENABLE = ] to [ACTIVE] , as shown in the figure below. This must be done prior to executing all the functions (i.e. Enable +/-, Shut-Off, Local/Analog, Voltage/Current Program, Voltage/Current Monitor, etc.
V = 300.00 V I = 0.00 V 1.000 A 0.000 A OFF ENA When pin 1 and 14 are shorted, the output On/Off button is enabled. This will enable the output On/Off button to allow front panel control of the output state. If the display ENA is on the LCD screen, press ESC once so that it disappears before attempting to press the output On/Off button. B MODE: This allows enabling or disabling the power supply’s output using the analog interface pins 1 and 14. It will also disable the output On/Off button.
Afterwards, exit the menu to verify that the ENA indicator is no longer displayed before going back to the menu to reset EXTERN ENABLE to ACTIVE. Shut-Off Pin 15 can be used to shut off the power supply’s output, controlled by an input trigger signal. The output shuts off with the falling edge or rising edge of the trigger. This is selectable from the menu by pressing MENU 6SPECIAL TEST FUNC 2. EXTERNAL CONTROL. Choose between OFF/LOW (for falling edge trigger) or ON/LOW (for rising edge trigger).
V = 300.00 V I = 0.00 V 1.000 A OFF SO 0.000 A Note: Shut Off can only occur when the power supply receives an edge trigger.

Local/Analog Pin 8 can be used to select the control mode (Local or Analog) of the power supply’s output. When the input command for this pin is at High level (or open), the control mode will be Local. When input command for this pin is at Low level (or connected to common GND), the control mode will be Analog. In analog mode, setting and measurement resolution for voltage and current will be less than local mode. See the below figures as an example. Local Control V = 300.00 V I = 0.00 V 1.
