TMA PC-27

Kepco's TMA PC-27 allows you to use a PC to directly control Kepco's M-series (MAT, MBT, and MST) and BOP power supplies--without IEEE 488.2.

Kepco's TMA PC-27 is a software emulator of Kepco's model TMA 4882-27 . Where TMA 4882-27 converts an IEEE 488.2 bus into the BITBUS to talk with a Kepco M-series or BOP power supply, the model TMA PC-27 communicates directly from your PC to the M-series or BOP power supplies. TMA PC-27 comprises a board that will fit into your PC or PC-AT or compatible computer. With the provided software, it allows your computer to emulate the whole TMA function. Your PC will communicate directly with up to 27 M-series or BOP power supplies providing all control and communication functions without requiring an IEEE 488.2 (GPIB) card.

Kepco's 'Digital Highway' illustrates the interconnection of Kepco Products, including the TMA PC-27 Controller.

To communicate with Kepco's serial bus, and through that bus to a PC, or an IEEE 488.2 bus, or VXI system, BOP must be fitted with a type BIT TMA-27 card. This card gives the BOP full compatibility with Kepco's M-series power supplies.
