nected to load) and may only be performed by qualied and informed persons. Improper
actions can cause fatal injury as well as serious material damage.
• Never touch cables or connectors directly after unplugging from mains supply as the
danger of electric shock remains!
• Never touch the contacts on DC terminal terminal directly after switching o󰀨 the DC
terminal, because there still can dangerous voltage present, sinking more or less slowly
depending on the load! There also can be dangerous potential between negative DC
terminal to PE or positive DC terminal to PE due to charged X capacitors.

PSB 9000 3U Slave Series
1.7.5 Alarm signals
Alarm conditions, not danger situations, are signalled on the front of this slave device in form of a red LED “Error”
(also see section 1.8.4.). Because the models of this series are designed to run as slave units in a master-slave
system, the master unit will indicate alarms in its own available ways. Refer to the manual of series PSB 9000 3U
for more information about this matter.
The LED collects all of the below listed alarm situations. If there is supervision of the slave units being used, alarms
can be decoded by querying a status from the device via any of the two USB ports.
Global meaning of alarm situations as indicated by LED “Error”:
Signal OT
(OverTemperature)
• Overheating of the device
• DCterminalwillbeswitchedo󰀨
• Non-critical

PSB 9000 3U Slave Series
1.9 Construction and function
1.9.1 General description
The power supplies of the PSB 9000 3U Slave series are so-called bidirectional devices, incorporating the func-
tion of a laboratory power supply (source) and an electronic load (sink) into one unit. They allow for easy setup of
applications according to the source-sink principle with a minimum of required hardware and cabling.
The sink feature is furthermore included with an energy recovery function which inverts the consumed DC energy
withane󰀩ciencyofupto95%andfeedsitbackintothelocalmains.
By default, the devices have an USB port on the rear side which serves various purposes, such as servicing
(rmwareupdates),monitoringduringmaster-slaveoperationorevenremotecontrolwhentheunitisbeingused
in stand-alone operation.
The additional USB port on the front side is used for quick access to all the DC terminal related parameters and
settings.ThecongurationviathisportcanbedonewiththeincludedsoftwareEPS Power Control (on USB stick)
or via any custom made control application.
Thedeviceso󰀨erasstandardthepossibilityforparallelconnectioninSharebusoperationtoachieveaconstant
current sharing, plus a genuine master-slave connection with totalling of the slave units’ values. This kind of opera-
tion allows for up to 16 units to be combined to a single system with a total power of up to 240 kW.
All models are controlled by three microprocessors. These enable an exact and fast measurement and display of
actual values.

1 x Share Bus plug
1 x Remote sensing plug
1 x 1.8 m USB cable
1 x Set of DC terminal covers
1 x Share/Sense terminal cover (only with models from 750 V)
1 x USB stick with documentation and software

1.9.4 The control panel (HMI)
The HMI (Human Machine Interface) consists of six coloured LEDs, a pushbutton and an USB-B port.
1.9.4.1 Status indicators (LED)
The six coloured LEDs on the front indicate various statuses of the device:
LED Colour Indicates what when lit?
Power orange / green Orange = device is in boot phase or internal error occurred
Green = device is ready for operation
Remote green Remote control by master or any of the USB ports is active. In this situation, manual
controlwithbuttonOn/O󰀨islocked.
Error red At least one unacknowledged device alarm is active. The LED can signalise all
alarms as listed in „3.7. Alarms and monitoring“.
CC yellow Constant current regulation (CC) is active. It means, if the LED is not lit it indicates
either CV, CP or CR mode. Also see „3.3. Operating modes“.
On green DC terminal is switched on
O󰀨 red DCterminalisswitchedo󰀨
1.9.4.2 USB port
The front USB port is easier to access than the one on the rear side and intended for quick setup of DC terminal
related values and settings. Doing so is only necessary and possible in these two situations:
1. The PSB 9000 3U Slave shall run as stand-alone device which is not controlled by a PSB 9000 3U master.
2. The PSB 9000 3U shall, due to the lack of a suitable PSB 9000 3U master device, be the master of other PSB
9000 3U Slave devices.
Both situations are only secondary, as the primary and normal function of a PSB 9000 3U Slave is to be a slave
in a master-slave system where it’s assigned all required settings and values from the master.
When running any of the above listed situations following applies for the USB port:
• Reducedinstructionsetformaster-slaveconguration,setvalues(U,I,P,R)andprotections
(OVP, OCP, OPP). For details about the instruction set see „3.6. Remote control“.
• Takingoverremotecontrolinordertochangethecongurationisonlypossiblewhiletheunit
is not online with the master, which either requires to temporarily deactivate master-slave on
themasterortoswitchthemastero󰀨
1.9.4.3 Pushbutton “On / O󰀨”
ThisbuttoncanbeusedtoswitchtheDCterminalonoro󰀨duringmanualcontrol,i.e.thedeviceisnot
inremotecontrolbyamasterorviaanyoftheUSBports(LED“Remote”=o󰀨).Oncepushedtoswitch
the DC terminal on, the device would regulate it to the last values it has stored. Since all the DC terminal
related values are not displayed, operating that button has to be done with caution.

PSB 9000 3U Slave Series
1.9.5 USB port type B (rear side)
The USB-B port on the rear side of the device is provided for communication with the device,
i.e. monitoring during master-slave operation or full remote control in stand-alone operation,
aswellasforrmwareupdates.TheincludedUSBcablecanbeusedtoconnectthedevice
to a PC (USB 2.0 or 3.0). The driver is delivered with the device and installs a virtual COM
port. Details for remote control can be found on the web site of the manufacturer or on the
included USB stick.
The device can be addressed via this port either using the international standard ModBus
protocol or by SCPI language. The device recognises the message protocol automatically.
This USB port has no priority over either the other USB port on the front or remote control
from a master unit and can, therefore, only be used for remote control alternatively to these.
However, monitoring is always available.
1.9.6 “Share” connector
The 2 pole WAGO socket “Share” on the rear side of the device is provided for con-
nection to equally named sockets on compatible power supplies series to achieve
a balanced load current distribution during parallel connection. The socket is also
used to connect the power supply to compatible electronic loads, in order to build a
two-quadrants operation setup. Following power supply and electronic load series
are compatible on the so-called “Share bus”:
• PSB 9000 / PSBE 9000
• PSI 9000 2U - 24U / PSI 9000 3U Slave
• ELR 9000 / ELR 9000 HP
• EL 9000 B / EL 9000 B HP / EL 9000 B 2Q / EL 9000 B Slave
• PSE 9000
• PS 9000 1U / 2U / 3U *
* From hardware revision 2, see type label of those series (in case it does not show “Revision” on type label, it is revision 1)
1.9.7 “Sense” connector (remote sensing)
The devices of series PSB 9000 3U Slave are supposed to run as slave units in a
master-slave system where the remote sensing feature is only used and connected
to the master unit. For stand-alone operation outside of a master-slave setup this
feature can be wired and used on the Slave mode as well.
In order to compensate for voltage drops along the DC cables to the load, the Sense
input can be connected to the load. The maximum possible compensation is given
inthetechnicalspecications.
In order to ensure safety and to comply to international directives, insulation of high voltage models, i. e. such with
a nominal voltage of 500 V or higher, is ensured by using only the two outer pins of the 4-pole terminal. The inner
two pins, marked with NC, must remain unconnected.
1.9.8 Master-Slave bus
A further port is provided on the rear side of the device, comprising two RJ45 sockets,
which enables multiple identical devices to be connected via a digital bus (RS485)
to create a master-slave system. For a PSB 9000 3U Slave device this interface is
essential,becauseitisconguredandcontrolledregardingvaluesandstatusvia
this port by a master unit.
Connection is made using standard CAT5 cables.

2. Installation & commissioning
2.1 Transport and storage
2.1.1 Transport
• The handles on the front side of the device are not for carrying!
• Because of its weight, transport by hand should be avoided where possible. If unavoidable
then only the housing should be held and not on the exterior parts (handles, DC terminal
terminal, rotary knobs).
• Do not transport when switched on or connected!
• When relocating the equipment use of the original packing is recommended
• The device should always be carried and mounted horizontally
• Use suitable safety clothing, especially safety shoes, when carrying the equipment, as due to
its weight a fall can have serious consequences.
2.1.2 Packaging
It is recommended to keep the complete transport packaging for the lifetime of the device for relocation or return
to the manufacturer for repair. Otherwise the packaging should be disposed of in an environmentally friendly way.
2.1.3 Storage
In case of long term storage of the equipment it is recommended to use the original packaging or similar. Storage
must be in dry rooms, if possible in sealed packaging, to avoid corrosion, especially internal, through humidity.
2.2 Unpacking and visual check
After every transport, with or without packaging, or before commissioning, the equipment should be visually
inspected for damage and completeness using the delivery note and/or parts list (see section „1.9.3. Scope of
delivery“). An obviously damaged device (e.g. loose parts inside, damage outside) must under no circumstances
be put in operation.
2.3 Installation
2.3.1 Safety procedures before installation and use
• The device may, according to model, have a considerable weight. Therefore the proposed
location of the equipment (table, cabinet, shelf, 19” rack) must be able to support the weight
without restriction.
• When using a 19” rack, rails suitable for the width of the housing and the weight of the device
are to be used (see „1.8.3. Specic technical data“
• Before connecting to the mains ensure that the supply voltage is as shown on the product
label. Overvoltage on the AC supply can cause equipment damage.
2.3.2 Preparation
2.3.2.1 Planning the master-slave system
Before any further planning of installation and wiring it’s recommend to decide how the master-slave system shall
becongured.Thesmallestsetupwouldconsistof1xPSB90003Uand1xPSB90003USlave.Both,master
and slave unit, must be of same rating regarding voltage, current and power. Because the PSB 9000 3U Slave
models are only available with 15 kW power, they will only match the corresponding models of PSB 9000 3U series.
“Match”ishererelatedtotheuseofthemaster-slavebus,whichwouldn’tacceptdi󰀨erentmodels.Itmeans,that
paralleling a PSB 9080-120 3U with a PSI 9080-360 3U is technically possible and acceptable (due to the same
voltage rating), but not supported regarding master-slave.
