User Manual – Rev B FCS Series II 4.9 Remote Inhibit Function The remote inhibit input on the rear panel can be used to disable the output of the AC source. This input takes either a low level TTL signal or a contact closure. The mode of operation can be programmed over the remote control interface using the OUTP:RI:MODE command. See 7004981 programming manual for details. The following modes are supported.
User Manual – Rev B FCS Series II 5. Principle of Operation 5.1 Overall Description Input power from the rear panel is routed through an EMI filter, the circuit breaker, and to the input transformer, T1. The input transformer provides three isolated six phase supplies each of which are rectified to supply 300 VDC for the power amplifiers. A low power three-phase secondary provides isolated AC power to drive the oscillator and current limit boards and the two fans on the lower front panel of the cabinet.
User Manual – Rev B FCS Series II Figure 5-1: FCS System Block Diagram.
User Manual – Rev B FCS Series II 5.3 Power Amplifiers Assembly The AC power system has three power amplifiers, A3, A4, and A5. In the three-phase mode, one amplifier is used for each of the three outputs. In the single-phase mode, the three outputs are paralleled by the user at the output terminal block, TB3. Each amplifier obtains its input signal from the current limit board. A signal of 5 vrms drives the output to full scale.
User Manual – Rev B FCS Series II 5.3.4 Control Board The main function of the control board is to generate the gate drive signals for the front and rear amplifier boards. Other functions include overcurrent and overtemperature protection, and power supply fault detection. The SIG HI oscillator signal from the current limit board is low pass filtered and sent to the reference input of the control board error amplifier. Differentially sensed output voltage closes the loop to the error amp.
