Description
FAST-PS Power Supply for Current and Voltage Control Applications
The FAST-PS Power Supply is a modern bipolar digital power supply series developed for applications that require fast, stable and highly accurate current and voltage control. Designed by CAEN ELS, this advanced platform combines powerful digital control with integrated monitoring and waveform generation tools.
The FAST-PS Power Supply can operate either as a current generator or as a voltage generator, providing exceptional flexibility in laboratory and industrial environments. Users can configure current or voltage thresholds to automatically switch between constant voltage and constant current modes depending on the connected load conditions. This intelligent functionality ensures reliable operation while protecting sensitive devices during testing and operation.
Power ratings range from 100 W up to 600 W depending on the selected model. Different voltage and current combinations are available to match a wide range of applications including precision electronics testing, research experiments and advanced instrumentation systems.
Embedded Monitoring and Control
One of the most powerful features of the FAST-PS Power Supply is its embedded Linux operating system and integrated web server. This platform independent interface allows users to configure, monitor and control the device directly through a standard web browser.
The embedded interface includes a 100 kHz Arbitrary Waveform Generator and a four channel high precision oscilloscope. These built in tools enable users to generate custom signals and simultaneously monitor voltage and current responses with high accuracy. Advanced oscilloscope functions such as triggering provide additional flexibility during testing and diagnostics.
Communication with the FAST-PS Power Supply is achieved through high speed Ethernet connectivity supporting 10/100/1000 Mbit networks. Dual SFP communication slots are also available, allowing electrical or optical connections that support fast feedback loops with update rates up to 10 kHz. This capability is particularly useful in applications requiring real time control and rapid system adjustments.
Power Supply with Flexible Integration and Protection
The FAST-PS Power Supply uses a digital control loop architecture that adapts easily to a wide range of loads. This design ensures stable operation and precise output regulation in both current and voltage control modes.
Comprehensive safety protections are integrated into the system including over voltage protection, over current protection and over temperature monitoring. External interlock inputs provide an additional layer of safety for laboratory and industrial installations.
For local operation, the unit includes a display and control interface that allows users to set and monitor key parameters directly on the device. Compatibility with CAEN ELS software tools such as VISUAL PS and Device Manager also enables fast configuration and network management of multiple power supplies.
With its advanced control features, high speed communication interfaces and integrated diagnostic tools, the FAST-PS Power Supply provides a powerful solution for precision power control applications.
