The SY2604 system is a low cost
digital current controlled power
supply system that can house up to
four independent 5A@10V bipolar
modules in a standard 19-inch
3U rack. This true-bipolar system
has a modular architecture and
it is composed by a bulk AC/DC
converter (A2607), an auxiliary power
supply (A2606) and the DC/DC
modules (A2605BS).
The completely digital currentcontrol feedback loop makes
these power supplies extremely
configurable and adaptive to any
load condition. Its design, developed
for high demanding Free Electron
Laser (FEL) sources, offers extreme
reliability and stability performances.
The A2606 auxiliary power module
provides the auxiliary voltage to the
DC/DC converter boards installed
in the crates in order to supply the
control electronics while the A2607
bulk unit feeds the power part for
energy conversion.
The system is composed by EuroCard
standard boards (12TE for the
A2605BS, 14TE each for the A2606
and the A2607 modules).
The A2605BS modules are provided
with two independent Digital Signal
Processors supervising all processes
including the remote control of
the power supply via an Ethernet
connection (TCP-IP or UDP). Each
power supply has also LED monitors
for troubleshooting and an Ethernet
100-100 auto-sensing socket for
communication.
Cooling is performed with air
convection forced by a fan unit that
is placed directly under the system
rack.
Software and drivers are available for
different operating systems like MS
Windows, Linux and Mac OS; these

devices are also Epics- and Tangocompatible. Commercially available
system crate (SY2604 - fan unit
included), bulk power supply unit
(A2607), auxiliary power supply unit
(A2606), DC/DC module (A2605BS)
and channel and interlock mating
connector kit (A2603).
