[Annalisa, Rana]
In order to power the heater setup to be installed in the ETMY chamber, we took the Sorensen DSC33-33E power supply from the Xend rack which was supposed to power the heater for the seismometer setup.
We modified the J3 connector behind in such a way to allow a remote control (unsoldered pins 9 and 8).
Now pins 9 and 12 need to be connected to a BNC cable running to the EPICS.
RXA update: the Sorensen's have the capability to be controlled by an external current source, voltage source, or resistive load. We have configured it so that 0-5V moves the output from 0-33 V. There is also the possibility to make it a current source and have the output current (rather than voltage) follow the control voltage. This might be useful since out heater resistance is changing with temperature. |
