Mpod Mini power supply
The programmable Mpod Mini power supply is one of the most economically attractive solutions for creating a small set-up made up of low voltage modules. The Mpod Mini programmable power supply integrates modules in horizontal position. A controller card supervises the proper functioning of the power supply, ventilation, and inserted modules. It ensures communication with the outside via Ethernet, USB or CANbus. Updating the controller firmware is possible ‘online’ while being connected to the network. Several versions of the programmable Mpod Mini power supplies exist, up to 3000 W.
A local control solution via an LCD screen and digital encoders is proposed to test a few channels when getting started on site.
The programmable Mpod Mini power supply offers 4 or 8 channels with a maximum of 100 W per channel for 400 W per module. The proposed voltages range from 8 V to 120 V.
The slow control of the Mpod Mini power supply is executed from an integrated web server (iCS). The system works with a local Ethernet network or with a WiFi wireless station, no external software is to be installed. Communication takes place with an internet browser (web browser) which makes function calls to the server. In return, the server provides information about monitoring. The iCS server offers the possibility of managing control – command but also of saving a user profile, configuring alarms, viewing voltage and current graphs. Alternatively, the iCS server is capable of providing APIs of the OPC, SOAP or even EPICS types.
