Introduction 7
The ES1391.1 Power Supply Controller Board has a VMEbus interface which is
used to connect it to the VME backplane of the ES4100, ES4105 or ES4300
Signal Box.
1.2 Features
The ES1391.1 Power Supply Controller Board has the following features:
• Two 14-pin PwrCtrl connectors for addressing a maximum of two power
supplies
One power supply control unit (PwrCtrl) contains
– two analog outputs (D/A converters) for setting the target voltage and
the target current; output voltage range: 0...10 V, output current: max.
10 mA, D/A converter resolution: 14-bit
– two analog inputs (A/D converters) for acquiring actual variables (actual
voltage and current) of the power supply: input voltage range: 0...10 V,
A/D converter resolution: 16-bit
– three digital inputs for tapping status signals of the power supply, e.g.
”overvoltage”, ”overcurrent” or ”overheating”
– two digital outputs which can be configured for powering on/off the
power supply
– all analog and digital inputs and outputs are galvanically isolated
• Two 14-pin SwCtrl connectors for addressing a maximum of two ES1392.1
High Current Switch Boards
One switch control unit (SwCtrl) contains
– five outputs for addressing up to five high-current switches per
interface
– level detection for the main relay signal with pull-up circuit to battery
voltage and pull-down circuit to battery ground. The pull-up and pull-
down circuit is configured using jumpers
– an alarm input for monitoring error states such as overcurrent or
overheating on the connected ES1392.1 High Current Switch Board
– programming port for the versioning EEPROM of the connected
ES1392.1
• All analog and digital inputs/outputs have an overvoltage and short
protection (exception: programming port for the serial EEPROM of the
ES1392.1)
• Overvoltage protection ±60 V, short protection against ground
• Simulation of two power supplies with e.g. 12 V and 42 V possible (one
ES1392.1 High Current Switch Board is required for each supply voltage)
