EPS200 Rear Panel

RS-232 Serial Interface. The RS-232 serial interface is a 9-pin, D-style
subminiature female connector, located on the rear panel. All serial communications
meet RS-232C requirements. The baud rate is fixed at 9600 baud. Data length is 8 bits,
no parity and one stop bit is required. Modem control lines, such as RTS and CTS, are
not provided. No handshaking protocol (such as XON and XOFF)is supported. The host
system must delay data transmission to avoid overflowing the EPS200 serial buffer.
When uploading ASCII text programming files, use a 100 millisecond line-to-line delay.

Digital/Analog Remote Interface. The digital and analog interface
is a 15-pin, D-style subminiature female connector, located on the rear panel.
The remote high voltage go on, analog setpoint, clamp is up, clamp is down,
and alarm outputs are contained in this connector.

Pin Description Direction
1 HV go on (-) Input
2 HV analog setpoint Input (0-5V scale = 0-1000 VDC)
3 HV go on (+) Input
4 +12 VDC (current limited) Output
5 Analog common
6 Measured HV output Output (0-5V scale = 0-1000 VDC)
7 HV is on/Clamp is active (down) Output (Active low to pin 10)
8 HV is off/Clamp is inactive (up) Output (Active low to pin 10)
9 Alarm output Output (Active low to pin 10)
10 Digital common
11 Address bit common
12 Address bit 0 (reserved)
13 Address bit 1 (reserved)
14 Address bit 2 (reserved)
15 Address bit 3 (reserved)

Analog I/O (pins 2 and 6) is configured for 0-5 VDC single-ended operation. Consult
the factory for applications that require a 0-10 VDC or bipolar interface.

Pins 5 and 10 are not tied together internally. All digital I/O should be referenced
to pin 10 and all analog I/O should be referenced to pin 5. An external common
connection between pins 5 and 10 will not alter the performance of the EPS200

Pins 1 and 3 are optically isolated from DC power and DC common. A simple remote
control interface can be accomplished by connecting pins 3 and 4 together and
connecting pin 1 to DC common, via a switch, to set the high voltage go on active
via the digital interface.
