Version history file for power supply series PSI 5000 Meaning of the symbols: + Feature added - Feature or bug removed (general bug fixes are not listed to have a better overview) * Feature changed Note: according to the block diagram in the manual, these devices have three microprocessor controlled components which have separate firmwares. There are listed below in separate sections. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Component KE: v2.01 * First KE firmware release for PS 5000 series v2.02 - Fixed some bugs v2.03 * Improved the USB SCPI/ModBus communication v2.04 + Remote activation/deactivation of the communication protocols - Fixed some bugs v2.05 - Fixed some bugs v2.06 + Remotely adjustable Ethernet connection timeout - Fixed some bugs v2.07 + Improved analog interface sample rate to 500 Hz v3.01 + Added TCP keep-alive functionality (can be enabled via register 10007) + Added ModBus register 10007 v3.02 + Alarm power fail (PF) now also signalled on analog interface (pin 5) v3.04 - Fixed bug related to SCPI command SOURce:POWer MAX + Added ModBus registers 407, 425, 10010, 10011 v3.06 - Removed a bug where the system would hang when the ModBus protocol is disabled, but the device receives a ModBus message + SCPI: added sending termination character LF (line feed, 0xA) to all messages * Ethernet: TCP keep-alive time set to standard 2h + ModBus TCP: the internal Ethernet port now supports ModBus TCP via port 502, ignoring the Ethernet port setting where the default is 5025 (means, the port doesn't require to be set to 502) + OT: added setting to determine whether the DC output shall be off after an OT alarm or continue v3.09 + ModBus compliance mode: allows switching to "Full" which now makes the ModBus messages fully compliant regarding coils. The mode can be switched to remain compatible to older firmwares * Ethernet port: port 502, being reserved for ModBus TCP, cannot be set anymore in the adjustable Port register * SCPI: improved small things, like handling of the factors milli and kilo - Removed a bug when the device would return an error when setting/unsetting a coil which was already set/unset + Interface supervision: deactivated by default, it can be enabled and configured to supervise communication with the device via an user-defined timeout. If the time runs out it would switch off remote control and the DC output. This is valid for all digital interfaces. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Component HMI: v2.01 * First HMI firmware release for PS/PSI 5000 series v2.02 * Improved device startinf time, i.e. made it shorter v2.03 * Fixed some minor bugs v2.04 * Fixed some minor bugs v2.05 * Fixed a bug where sometimes the display would show erroneous data when booting ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Component DR (96230062): v1.0.15 * First DR firmware release or PS/PSI 5000 series v1.0.16 * Improved the supervision & measurement functions v1.0.17 * Improved the supervision functions and fixed some bugs v1.0.18 * Improved device calibration and supervision functions
