*The time required for the output voltage to return within ± (0.1 % + 10 mV) of the rated output voltage when the CV mode response is set to FAST. The output current fluctuation value is 50 % to 100 % of the maximum current at the set output voltage.

Optimized for different purposes and applications, with selectable response speeds

Optimized for different purposes and applications, with selectable response speedsThe required Response speed of the power supply equipment depends on the test conditions and load specifications. pXT The series can change the response speed of the power supply as desired to suit the application.

Equipped with touch panel display

Equipped with touch panel displayBy pressing or swiping the display with a finger, the user can select an item on the screen or set a numerical value. The display is pressure-sensitive and can be operated even with gloves on.

Bleeder ON/OFF Function

By turning on the bleeder function, the charge accumulated on the load side at the time of OUTPUTOFF can be quickly discharged to lower the Output voltage.
A battery connected to the output terminal will be discharged when the bleeder function is on, even if the OUTPUT is turned off. In such cases, unnecessary discharge can be prevented by turning the bleeder function off.

ItemDescription
EnableTurns the bleeder function on. Sink current flows when the output is off.
DisableDisables the bleeder function. Prevents unintended discharge when output is turned off. However, a low sink current will still flow due to the resistance inside the PXT series. The reference values of the internal resistance are as follows:
PXT20K-500: approx. 55 kΩ
PXT20K-1500: approx. 560 kΩ

Priority Operation Mode

It is possible to set which Operation mode is used when the output is turned on. When a battery or power supply is connected, overshoot can be prevented by giving priority to CC mode.
Operation modes that can be set: Constant voltage (CV), Constant current (CC), Constant power (CP) mode

Faster no load fall time

The PXT series has a no load fall time of 750 ms. This contributes to shorter takt time.


External Control Function

EXT of rear panel The PXT series can be controlled by external devices using the CONT connector. The general-purpose digital input terminal and the general-purpose digital output terminal can be assigned any functions, facilitating system construction in combination with other measurement devices.
Digital I/O standard for both NPN and PNP type PLCs. Analog I/O is isolated from output terminals as standard, allowing safe analog control from PLC.

I-V characteristic function

By registering multiple arbitrary points on the I-V characteristics, arbitrary I-V characteristics can be set for each CC and CV operation mode. Since 3 to 100 arbitrary points can be registered, it is possible to simulate I-V characteristics of rechargeable batteries, etc.

I-V characteristic function

Parallel operation can realize up to 25 units, 500 kW. *

Up to 25 units (500 kW) can be connected in parallel, including the master unit. The connection is a Master-slave parallel operation, and the panel of the master unit can control and display the entire system. Since it has an automatic recognition function, a large-capacity system can be constructed without complicated settings.

* Parallel operation is possible between models with different input rated voltages.
★ Please consult with us if you would like to use 10 or more units in Parallel operation.

Equipped with Standard LAN Interface and VMCB Function

The PXT series comes standard with LAN, USB, and RS232C as communication interfaces. In addition, when used in conjunction with Virtual Multichannel (VMCB), which enables virtual grouping and management of multiple PXT series units, the PXT series can efficiently perform not only 1-to-N, but also N-to-M and large-scale networked remote control and monitoring. This can be utilized to save communication ports or to match the control timing of multiple (up to 8) PXT series units. Multichannel can also be used to mix and match our PXB series as well.

Communication monitoring function

Communication monitoring function is provided. For example, if the LAN cable is disconnected and communication is not established, an alarm (alarm lamp lights up) and Turns the output off if there is no communication within a set period of time. This function prevents operation in an uncontrolled state and improves system reliability.
