Revision as of 08:56, 9 May 2014

The Motech LPS-300 series of programmable power supplies consists of 5 1-channel or 3-channel devices with optional RS232 connectivity.

The devices were also sold as the Amrel LPS-301 by American Reliance and partly under further brands.


Specifications

The models differ only in the number of available channels, maximum voltage and maximum current output:

Model Power Output Channels Voltage/Current
LPS-301 30 W 1 30 V/1 A or 15 V/2 A
LPS-302 60 W 1 30 V/2 A or 15 V/4 A
LPS-303 90 W 1 30 V/3 A
LPS-304 70 W 3 ±30 V/1 A or ±15 V/2 A; 5 V/2 A
LPS-305 165 W 3 ±30 V/2.5 A; 3.3 or 5 V/3 A


These specifications are common to all models:

30 V Channels
Voltage Current
Programming Resolution 10 mV 1 mA
Programming Accuracy 0.05% + 20 mV 0.15% + 5 mA
Readback Accuracy 0.1% + 20 mV 0.2% + 5 mA
Ripple (10 Hz to 20 MHz) 1 mV rms / 10 mV p-p 10 mA rms
Load Regulation 0.001% + 1mV 0.01% + 1mA

These specifications apply only to models having a 3.3V/5V output:

3.3/5V Channel
Voltage Current
Ripple (10Hz to 20MHz) 2 mVrms / 10mVp-p 10mArms
Load Regulation 0.001% + 1mV 0.01% + 1mA



Protocol

The communication with the device is via an optional RS-232 port (Option 02). The port parameters are 2400 Baud, 8n1.

All commands are plain ASCII. All commends are terminated by \r, \n or \r\n. A commend sent before the reply (usually OK) will be ignored.
