5 Control via the Analog Interface
5.1 Connector Assignments
SIG1 OUT, SIG2 OUT (output)
• Digital status signal outputs with reference to AGND
• SIG1 OUT indicates the status of the power output
• SIG2 OUT indicates the current control mode
• Signal type open collector
• Max. switching voltage 30 V DC
• Max. switching current 20 mA
☞ Refer to chapter 5.2 for detailed information.
TRG IN+, TRG IN- (input)
• Floating digital control input for switching the power output on
and off
• Low signal: –26 V ≤ U

+15 V (output)
• This auxiliary voltage output (14 ... 17.5 V DC with reference to
AGND) can be used to control the trigger input or to supply
external consumers with power (e.g. reference component for
the generation of control voltages).
• The output is equipped with electronic current limiting to
approximately 60 mA, and is short-circuit proof to AGND.
AGND (analog ground = reference point)
• Reference point for analog control inputs and outputs
• This terminal is internally connected to the negative pole of the
power output via an automatic resetting fuse (110 mA rating).
Uset-, Uset+ (input)
• Analog (differential) voltage input with reference to AGND for
controlling output voltage. The following applies when the
output is active:
• Uout = USET + U

U-MON (output)
• Analog voltage output, proportional to output voltage Uout
which is acquired by the sensing leads
(0 ... 10 V 0 ... Uout
nom
).
• This output, with reference to AGND, has an internal resistance
of 9.8 kΩ and is short-circuit proof.
☞ Refer to chapter 5.6 for detailed information.
I-MON (output)
• Analog voltage output proportional to actual output current Iout
(0 ... 10 V 0 ... Iout
nom
)
• This output, with reference to AGND, has an internal resistance
of 9.4 kΩ and is short-circuit proof.
☞ Refer to chapter 5.7 for detailed information.
