The Kepco bipolar power (BOP) supplies in the 100W, 200W and 400W series are designed to accept a variety of internal digital interface cards.

BIT 4886

BIT 488 card photo Talk-listen support for the IEEE 488.2 bus using SCPI is afforded by the BIT 4886 plug-in card which is 16-bit with resolution of 1/216. NOTE: The 12-bit BIT 4882 is no longer available and has been replaced by BIT 4886. The BIT 4886 card allows a BOP to communicate as a stand-alone instrument, directly on the GPIB. BIT 4886 card also allows the BOP to be be programmed over the RS232C bus using either SCPI or CIIL commands via either an RS232-C terminal, or from a PC using a terminal emulation program with a baud rate of 9600, no parity, eight data bits and one stop bit. The downloadable BIT 4886 driver supports digital calibration (no manual pots) and multiple control and read back ranges which are incorporated in the BIT 4886 Interface Card. See detailed specifications for the BIT 4886 card.

NOTE: The BIT 4886 Card is compatible with National Instruments standard 488-HS.

The BIT 4882-F with resolution of 1/212 is a version of the BIT 4882 for earlier BOP Models (see the Applicability Table) which may require upgrading for BIT 4886 compatibility. THe BIT 4882-F is still available for purchase. NOTE: BIT 4882-F is not recommended for applications using Windows NT or computers operating at greater than 800MHz; use BIT 4886 instead.

BIT 232

NOTE: The BIT 232 is no longer available; it is replaced by BIT 4886 which includes RS 232 capability.

BIT TMA-27

Long range 2-wire serial control on a talk-listen basis is offered by the BIT TMA-27 card. This card enables the BOP to communicate as one of up to 27 power supplies on a 300m long 2 wire serial bus. This bus is the inter-model bus that Kepco uses for MAT, MST and MBT power supplies. It provides single address, multi-instrument control from any GPIB controller or from VXI or directly from a PC (with TMA PC-27 card).

BIT 488B and 488D

The simplest are listen-only ASCII cards that will receive instructions on the IEEE 488 bus in either Hexadecimal (B-series) or BCD (D-series). Three digit resolution (12- bits) is offered for the principal control and 2 digit (8-bits) for the limit control. To specify as a factory-installed option append suffix -488B or -488D or order for field installation as models BIT 488B or BIT 488D. BIT 232 provides an RS 232 port for direct communication with a PC¹s serial ports. Baud rate is 9600, no parity, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit. The simplest are listen-only ASCII cards that will receive instructions on the IEEE 488 bus in either Hexadecimal (B-series) or BCD (D-series). 3 digit resolution (12 bits) is offered for the principal control and 2 digit (8 bits) for the limit control. To specify as a factory-installed option append suffix -488B or -488D or order for field installation as models BIT 488B or BIT 488D.

BIT are CE Marked per the Low Voltage Directive (LVD), EN61010-1.
