General Remar s
The only purpose of this manual is a des ription of the produ t. It must not be interpreted as
a de laration of onformity for this produ t in luding the produ t and software.
W-Ie-Ne-R revises this produ t and manual without noti e. Differen es of the des ription in
manual and produ t are possible.
W-Ie-Ne-R ex ludes ompletely any liability for loss of profits, loss of business, loss of use
or data, interrupt of business, or for indire t, spe ial in idental, or onsequential damages of
any kind, even if W-Ie-Ne-R has been advises of the possibility of su h damages arising
from any defe t or error in this manual or produ t.
Any use of the produ t whi h may influen e health of human beings requires the express
written permission of W-Ie-Ne-R.
Produ ts mentioned in this manual are mentioned for identifi ation purposes only. Produ t

No part of this produ t, in luding the produ t and the software may be reprodu ed,
transmitted, trans ribed, stored in a retrieval system, or translated into any language in any

Control Cabinet
In the ontext of this user manual, the ontrol abinet must fulfill the requirements on fire-
prote tive en losures a ording to EN 60950 / IEC 60950 / UL 60950.
All devi es are intended for operation in ontrol abinets or in losed areas. The LAN
onne tion and all wire onne tions between the different system parts must be done via
shielded able with ondu tive onne tor shells, whi h are fixed with s rews.
Furthermore, an additional fire-prote tive en losure is required whi h must not affe t proper
air ir ulation.
Mains Voltage and Connection
The Power supplies are equipped with a “World”- mains input (rated voltage range: 100-240
VAC, frequen y: 50-60 Hz, rated urrent: 16 A). Before onne ting to the mains please
double- he k orresponden e.
The mains input onne tion at the power supply side is des ribed in hapter 2.1 (AC Mains
Conne tion) at page 2.
Safety
After onne ting the Power box to the mains, the mains input module is powered
permanently. Filter and storage apa itors of the power fa tor orre tion module are harged
with about 400VDC. Any DC-On-Signal as well as a power swit h at ontrol board (if any
installed) operates as a low voltage DC on/off swit h only and not as a mains breaker.
Therefore it becomes dangerous if the box cover is open. In this case a lot of
components on high voltage potential get touchable!
Before starting any ind of wor inside the power box remove
the unit from mains and wait a couple of minutes with your
activities! Discharge the primary DC filter-capacitors by use of
a well insulated 22 ohm 10W resistor.
We recommend in case of any malfunction to send the power
box to Wiener or to one of our representative for service

possible to swit h it on.
Signal level:
interlo ked: -10 V ... +0.8 V
not interlo ked: +2.2 V ... +10 V (input impedan e 1 kΩ + LED, so higher input
voltages an be used if an external resistor is implemented.)
2.8 Global Stop and Start Inputs (Optional)
This inputs allow to swit h off the outputs hannels (emergen y stop) or to swit h on all power

Figure 2.4: PL506 Rear Side (Power Output Conne tions)

The USB interfa e is primarily intended to be used to onfigure the power
supply. The Ethernet onne tion is designated for remote ontrol and
monitoring.
Requirements
●X86-Computer with USB onne tion (USB2 re ommended)
●Mi rosoft Windows XP/VISTA/& or W8
Features
●Setup of the TCP/IP network parameters
●Global overview of all power supply hannels
●Detailed onfiguration of the power supply hannels
●Save and reload of onfiguration data
3.1 Installation
The installation software (MUSE ontrol-x.x.x.x.msi) is free available at the download area of our
website (www.wiener-d. om → Support → Downloads).
Please install the software before onne ting the power supply to the USB. The
ne essary USB-driver is in luded in the installation.
After downloading and exe uting the
software Windows may omplain that the
supplier of the software ould not be
verified. Ignore this warning and sele t
“Exe ute”.
Next the MUSE ontrol Setup Wizard
wel ome s reen is displayed. Cli k “Next”,
a ept the li ense agreement and take a
look at the ReadMe notes.
Now you may hange the default
installation folder and start the installation.
Now onne t the PL512/PL506 with your
mains supply and use an USB able to onne t the omputer with the PL512/PL506.
The omputer will dete t the new onne ted hardware and ask to onne t to Windows Update.
Sele t “No” and li k “Continue”.
Then a ept the “Automati install the software” sele tion by li king “ ontinue”.
28. May 2013 11 *00679.A4

Now the USB driver software be installed. To a ess your power supply, exe ute the “WIENER
USB Power Supply Control” appli ation via your start menu.
3.2 The Main Window
After starting the appli ation the main window shows a hannel overview.
The measured sense voltage (Usense), urrent (Imodule) and terminal voltage (Umodule) and a
global status of ea h
hannel are displayed.
Cli king with the left
mouse button at a
hannel toggles the
power state (OFF → ON
or ON → OFF).
Cli king with the right
mouse button opens the

This are ommands to demonstrate the grouping fun tions of the PL512/PL506. The default

3.3.1 Read Power Supply Data From File Dialog
This dialog an be used to opy a XML onfiguration file from disk to the PL512/PL506.
It is possible to opy
ea h onfiguration file
hannel to its
orresponding power
supply hannel (e.g.
U0 → U0, U1 →
U1, ...) or to opy one
onfiguration file
hannel to multiple
power supply
hannels.
3.3.2 Output Configuration Dialog
This dialog allows the detailed onfiguration of ea h power supply hannel.
The Measurement group shows the measured sense voltage, terminal voltage and urrent. The sense
voltage is the voltage at the sense lines, whi h are onne ted to the load. Terminal voltage means the
voltage at the terminals of the PL512/PL506.
Depending on the used modules, an analog or digital value of the most riti al point of the power
module is displayed.
The power of the load and the output power of the module are al ulated values.

In the Nominal Values group
the nominal values of the
output voltage, the maximum
urrent whi h the power
supply will sour e before it
swit hes into onstant-
urrent mode, and the
voltage rise and fall rates are
entered.
If the No Ramp at Switch O
he k box is he ked, the
Ramp Down value is only
used if the nominal voltage is
hanged. If the voltage is set
to 0, the hannel ramps down
to zero and than swit hes off.
But using the OFF button to
swit h off uts off the output
voltage immediately.
The voltage regulation
parameters an be modified
with the Moderate
Regulation he k box. If
un he ked, the standard (PI)
regulator is used. This is the
fastest regulation, but may
start ringing with wires to the
load longer than 1 meter.
In this situations the
advan ed (PID) regulator of
the Moderate Regulation
should be used.
If the load is onne ted with really long or high-indu tan e able, the Slow Regulation he k box
should be he ked additionally. This in reases the time onstant of the I-Regulator.
The Control and Status group has buttons to swit h the hannel on or off. In ase of any errors they
are displayed here, too.
The Supervision group ontains all items whi h the mi ro ontroller an observe. In ase of
ex eeding a limit, a dedi ated a tion an be assigned to ea h item.
It is possible to
●ignore the failure (not possible at max. terminal voltage, max power and max. temperature:
the power supply has to prote t itself)
●swit h this hannel off
●swit h all hannels with the same group number off
●swit h all hannels of the power supply off
The Identifi ation group ontains just a single item, the group number of the hannel.
Many SNMP network ommands an address a single hannel (identified by the hannel number) or
a group (identified by the group number), so it is possible to a ess different hannels with only one
network message.

3.3.3 Global and Network Configuration Dialog
In the Network group box you enter the
TCP/IP network settings (IP address,
subnet mask and default gateway). You
have to use the parameters of your
lo al network here. Please onta t your
network administrator for details.
HTTP and SNMP port numbers should
only modified if you know what you
do. Setting any port to 0 disables the
server.
If the “Channels Swit h On with Main
Swit h” he k box in the Other group
box is he ked, all output hannels are
swit hed on if the main swit h is
swit hed on.
