BK Precision MPS series modular system DC power supplies provide up to four output channels and 1200W in a compact 1U form factor.

For a complete system, a mainframe and module are required. Please note, mainframe and modules are sold separately

The MPS series contains two mainframes. Both contain four module slots and have a 1U form factor. The main difference in these items is the total available power:

The ability to allocate mainframe power enables the total output power of installed modules to exceed the rated mainframe power.

For example, a 600 W mainframe model MPS1000 is populated with two 300 W modules and two 100 W modules providing a combined total output power of 800 W. The mainframe will automatically limit output power to 600 W. The power limits of each installed module can also be adjusted to provide more or less power where needed. This flexibility maximizes investment for changing power demands and requirements.

BK Precision offers 100W and 300W modules for its MPS mainframes.

The modules are capable of outputting 100 W (multi-range) or 300 W (fixed range) to meet different power requirements. Populate mainframes with any combination of modules to deliver a total output power of 600W or 1200W depending on the mainframe model.

The MPS series supports synchronization between installed modules where multiple outputs can be enabled in a sequence, as well as synchronization between mainframes.

100W modules

Each of the modules below are multi-range (auto-ranging).

300W modules

Each of the modules below are fixed range.

Traditional power supplies only output their rated power at one voltage/current point. The MPS Series 100W multi-range modules extend the rated power from one point to a curve, delivering the rated power at a wider range of voltage/current combinations.

The MPS Series modular design provides test system engineers with a selection of 8 modules to meet specific DC power requirements.

Any combination of up to 4 modules can be installed in the 600W or 1200W mainframes. Modules are interchangeable and the mainframe guideposts combined with engineered mating pins ensure a secure fit into mainframe slots. Featuring an included rack-mount kit, the compact 1U form factor is ideal for ATE system applications.

Identical modules can be combined in series/parallel to increase the maximum voltage/current output to 400V or 80A.

When series/parallel operation is enabled, the display automatically adjusts for increased voltage/current limits.

The MPS Series’ coupling mode, output delays, and slew rate can be configured to execute precise startup power sequences.

The MPS Series list mode programming features are useful for repetitive testing or other applications requiring a specific sequence of voltage and current settings. The illustration below highlights some of the configurable options for setting up a list mode program.

1. To help minimize inrush current, the voltage and current slew rates are adjustable.

2. Dwell (step duration) can be set with 0.1 second resolution.

3. BOST / EOST (Beginning / End of Step Trigger) can be enabled for any step in the list to generate output triggers for synchronizing events with other externally connected instruments.

4. At the end of a list mode program, the termination behavior can be set to a constant DC value, remain at the last programmed list step value, or run another user-configured list program

PC software is provided for generating and executing test sequences and measurement data logging without the need to write source code.
