Safety labelings continuation

Never disconnect the lines from the LPS 2000 to the laser lamps during operation.
It could cause a dangerous arc because of the current source characteristics of the device which
leads to skin burnings, to injury of the eyes or to a fire.

Never put the LPS 2000 plus into operation when it was just taken from a cold to a warm room.
The condensed water arising in this process can influence the function of the device or even
destroy it.
Let the LPS 2000 plus assimilate to room temperature before use.

Provide a sufficient and unhindered ventilating during operation.

The integrated fan draws in the cooling air on the side of the fan and pours out in the range of the
visible cooling rib.
The intaken and escaping cooling air may not be hindered.
If the LPS 2000 plus is assembled flush with a front or back plate on the fan side, then a
fan opening in the plate is required. The measures for the opening are shown in the corresponded
drawing.
A fan protective barrier has to be used to avoid injuries.

If the LPS 2000 plus is used in electrically conductive dust in commercial or industrial
surroundings, then the intaken air must absolutely be filtered.

The fan may not be put out of operation when an alternative water cooling is used.

If a safe mode of the LPS 2000 plus cannot be guaranteed, set it out of operation and secure it
against unintentional use.

In every case the LPS 2000 plus has to be put out of operation if

the device has visible damages,

the device doesn’t work properly,
the device has been stored longer under unfavourable and inadmissible conditions,
the device had a difficult and inadmissible transport use.

Control options

The LPS 2000 plus can be controlled in different ways.

Two interfaces are already integrated in the standard model, an Analog Port and a RS 232 Port.
Basic functions and settings can be done by means of the DIP-switches.
Optionally a Parallel Port is available.

The output current of the LPS 2000 can be controlled by the Analog Port. The output current can
be monitored at the Analog Output Port (current monitor).

The boost voltage can be adjusted between 300 volts and 1800 volts by setting the DIP-switches
1 to 4.
In the Auto Start mode the LPS 2000 plus only needs a current set point at the Analog Port for
operating.

The RS 232 Port allows operation and supervision of the LPS 2000 plus with access to all
implemented functions and measurements.
The LPS can be controlled by a PC and important device parameters and limiting values can be
permanently programmed with the control- and configuration software.
The LPS 2000 sends constantly the current measurements and settings at the RS 232 Port,
independently of the selected or active interface.

At the Parallel Port the LPS 2000 plus can be controlled digitally with wide performance range.

Release 1.0 2004 © Messtec Power Converter GmbH www.powerconverter.de Page 9

 m c Laser Power Supply Family LPS 2000 plus

The interfaces can also be used at the same time without any problems.
For example is it possible to control the LPS 2000 plus digitally at the Parallel Port and add or
subtract (modulation) an additional current by feeding in a current set point at the Analog Port.
Simultaneously is it possible to read out all current values, measurements and settings at the
RS 232 Port.

It is not possible using the RS 232 Port and the Parallel Port both at the same time to control the
LPS 2000 plus.

Interface description - Analog Port

The Output Current of the LPS 2000 plus can be controlled at the Analog Port with minimal effort.

If the LPS 2000 plus shall be controlled only via the Analog Port the operating mode Autostart has
to be selcted at the DIP-switches. This is not necessary in operation together with the Parallel Port
or the RS 232 Port.

The Output Current is controlled by a voltage in the range from 0 to 10 V at the input Analog In.
1 volt corresponds to 3 A.
0 volt corresponds to 0 A. 10 volts correspond to 30 A Output Current.

The voltage at the output Analog Out is an image of the Output Current.
1 volt corresponds to 3 A Output Current.
0 volt corresponds to 0 A. 10 volts correspond to 30 A Output Current.

Connection: 2 chinch jacks

Parallel Port
Input levels
All inputs are active-high.
Levels between 0 V and 0.8 V are Low,
levels between 2 V and < 30 V are High.
Levels between 0.8 and 2 V can cause nonreproducible states.
Minimum required rise and fall time is 3 µs. The signals must be applied for a minimum time of
128 µs.

Output levels
All outputs are active-low (NPN open collector).
The inputs of the connected circuitry must have pull up resistors to its relevant supply voltage to
ensure a correct function.
The maximum permitted voltage is 30 V. The maximum permitted current is 20 mA (sink mode).
Levels between 0 V and 0.4 V are Low, all other levels are High.
Minimum Low and High time: 128 µs ... 130 µs.

Activation of the interface

The Parallel Port has to be activated by setting the DIP-Switch 8 = Off.

Current programming mode

The LPS 2000 plus can be operated in two current programming modes: Analog or Digital Plus
Analog.

In the Analog mode (DIP-switch 7 = Off) the Output Current is controlled by a voltage feed in at
the Analog Input (Scaling: 0.3 V / A).

In the mode Digital Plus Analog (DIP-switch 7 = On) the output current is digitally controlled by a
10 bit data word (1023 digits) with data bits 0 to 9.
1 digit corresponds to 29.3 mA. Full scale (data bits 0 to 9 = High) corresponds to 30.0 A.
A current set point feed in at the analog input is added to the digital current set point.
The analog current set point may also be negative and acts subtracting.

Modes of operation
The LPS 2000 plus can be operated in two ways.

The operation mode Autostart Activated (DIP-switch 6 = On) allows an automatic startup.
After turning on the mains voltage the power module is activated automatically and the boost
generator starts. The boost generator is switched off automatically after igniting the pump lamp.

The operation mode Autostart Deactivated (DIP-switch 6 = Off) allows the fully controlled
operation of the functions Power Supply On, Boost On, Standby Current Activated, Interlock
Input, Reset Fault, and Current Set Point by the Parallel or the Serial Port.

Parallel Port
Functions
The control bit Power Supply On activates the power module of the
LPS 2000 plus. An Output Voltage of 350 V is applied to the output.

The control bit Boost On activates the boost generator. The programmed boost voltage is applied
to the output.

The control bit Standby Current Activated changes the output current to a value of 7 A.
The value can be changed with the configuration software in the range from 0 to 30.0 A.

If a signal is missing, the LPS 2000 plus switches off and signals a summation and interlock fault.
If the LPS 2000 plus has switched off because of frequently faults, it can be activated again by the
control bit Reset Fault or by disconnecting the mains voltage.

Outputs
The status Power Supply Ready will be signalled, if the LPS 2000 plus is connected to the
correct supply voltage and there are no faults.

The status Boost Voltage Ready will be signalled if the boost voltage has reached the
programmed value.

The status Output Current OK will be signalled if the output current corresponds to the program-
med value and flows for one second.

The status Current Fault will be signalled if the output current differs from the programmed value
for one second.
The signal will be reset if the output current corresponds to the programmed value again.
If the maximum permissible current is exceeded the LPS 2000 plus limits to 30 A.

The status Lamp Break will be signalled if there is no Current Fault, the output voltage is lower
than the programmed value of 50 V and the output current is higher than the programmed value of
3 A.
The values can be changed in the range of 0 ... 300 V and 0 ... 30.0 A with the configuration
software.

The status Temperature Warning Limit Reached will be signalled if the LPS 2000 plus has
reached a temperature of + 75 °C at the heat sink. The LPS 2000 Plus switches off at + 80 °C.
The Temperature Warning Limit Reached value can be changed in the range of 0 ... + 80 °C with
the configuration software.

The status Summation Fault will be signalled if there is an internal fault.

The signal Interlock Output is generated from the control bit Interlock Input.
