INTRODUCTION

The internal factory installed General Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB) allows operation of the Z+ Power

Supply from a computer via IEEE-488.

The interface allows the user complete remote control of the Power Supply, including output

voltage and current setting and monitoring, protection setting, trigger, waveform list operation,

Power Supply status and SRQ reporting.

Communicationover theGPIB interface meetsIEEE 488.2standards for ProgrammableInstrumentation

(SCPI) compliant.

SCOPE OF MANUAL

This manual contains the information needed to operate the optional embedded IEEE(GPIB)

Interface used in the Power Supply. It includes the following:

•A general description of the GPIB.

•Connection.

•Configuration.

•Listing and description of SCPI command.

•Communication Example.

CHAPTER 1: THE IEEE-488.2 INTERFACE

The IEEE-488 digital programming interface (also called the GPIB interface) is a popular way to

connect instruments to a computer. It uses a specialized 24-pin cable with connectors that allow

cables to be ‘stacked’ together. There are eight data wires; eight control wires and eight ground

wires. If the system runs from a personal computer, there are numerous vendors of IEEE controller

cards and software.

The IEEE-488 standard has gone through several upgrades. The IEEE-488.1 focused on the

handshaking of the eight control lines.The IEEE-488.2 added status registers inside each instrument

and it added common commands to make programming groups of instruments easier. The latest

specification, SCPI, adds guidelines for the command syntax so one vendor’s Power Supply will

use the same commands as another’s. The Interface follows all of these standards.

Because many instruments may be connected and independently controlled by a single IEEE

controller, each instrument must have a unique address. The IEEE controller automatically sets

its address equal to the Power Supply address.

For complete and specific information, refer to the following documents: ANSI/IEEE Std 488.1-1987

IEEE Standard Digital Interface for Programmable Instrumentation and ANSI/IEEE Std 488.2-1987

IEEE Standard Codes, Formats, Protocols and Common Commands.

CHAPTER 2: CONNECTION

This section provides information on variable IEEE (GPIB) connection modes, communication

cables and selecting communication parameters for operation via IEEE (GPIB) interface.

It is possible connect to IEEE (GPIB) interface in two ways.

2.1 Point to Point

One IEEE Interface can control only one Z+Power Supply. Refer to Fig.2-1. Each Power Supply must

be configured for IEEE communication interface. Each unit must have a unique address, ranging

from 01 to 31. Baud rate and address are automatically fixed to“57600" and "SCPI".

2.2 Multi Drop

One IEEE Interface can control more than one Z+Power Supply. A maximum of 30 Z+units can be

connected via RS485 interface to a Power Supply with the installed IEEE option. Refer to Fig.2-2.The

Power Supply connected to a PC via the GPIB cable must be configured for an IEEE communication

interface, the other must be configured for a RS485 interface. Each unit must have a unique address,

ranging from 01 to 31. IEEE module gets the address of the unit into which it is installed. For RS485

interface set Baud rate at “57600" bps and Communication Language to "SCPI".

2.2.1 Selecting One Power Supply in a Multi Drop Chain

All the SCPI commands may be sent to any one of the Power Supplies in an RS-485 chain by first

sending the INST:nSEL address command. All commands and queries will then apply only to

the selected Power Supply, until a new INST:nSEL is sent.

At power-up, the IEEE master Power Supply is automatically the one selected.

After sending INST:nSEL, it is recommended that you verify the command by sending INST:nSEL?,

otherwise the following commands may be sent to the wrong Power Supply.

Fig.2-1: Point To Point Connection Fig.2-2: Multi Drop Connection

2.3 Communication Cables

•GPIB cable - Use standard IEEE-488, 26 AWG GPIB cable up to 3 meters in length.

•RS485 link cable - Use serial link cable with RJ-45 shielded connectors (P/N: GEN/RJ45). Refer

to Z+Series User Manual Fig.7-8.

CHAPTER 3: CONFIGURATION

3.1 Configuration the IEEE Controller

A typical IEEE controller is a personal computer with an IEEE interface card. Each card vendor

supplies its own configuration instructions and interface software.

Each time the software is executed, the controller is configured as follows:

•Controller Address = Power Supply address.

•Serial bus Baud Rate = 57600

•SCPI protocol.

•EOI Flag = TRUE. The “End or Identify” is a control line in the IEEE cable that is initiated when

the last character of a message string is sent. It is not supported by this interface.

•EOS Flag = FALSE: The “End of String”, used in some instruments to indicate the last character

of a message. It is required for this interface.
