Overview
1.1 General Description
The Intelligent High Power (iHP) series is an addition to Artesyn’s existing breadth of configurable AC to DC
power supply products. The iHP series offers the highest power and voltage rating in the configurable family
and provides the most flexible and universal solutions for medical and industrial applications. The iHP series
provides accuracy, resolution, and stability as either a programmable voltage or current source. The basic
modular concept consists of an iHP rack into which iHP modules are inserted. The rack is a Power Factor
corrected front-end converting worldwide standard AC input voltages into a regulated high voltage DC (HVDC)
output. The pluggable modules provide an extended range of voltage and current combinations converting
the HVDC input into programmable 3KW increments of output power. iHP output modules are configured into
a power system by plugging the modules into one of two different standard 19” AC-HVDC racks. One rack
houses up to four modules (12KW) and the other rack up to eight modules (24KW). Provisions are made for up
to six racks to be connected and controlled in parallel.
Safety approvals secured by Artesyn eliminate the need for an isolation transformer in medical equipment.
The iHP system also has industrial safety approvals, including compliance to the SEMI F47 standard for
semiconductor processing equipment.
The iHP series offers developers either an analog or digital interface to their system, supporting standard
communications protocols, including CANbus, Ethernet, and RS485. Digital control enables the use of
Artesyn’s high-level PowerPro software graphical user interface (GUI) to control and monitor all functions on
one or multiple iHP systems. The PowerPro GUI also incorporates graphical script creation that allows users to
write their own process control routines.
The iHP series offers efficient power factor correction (PFC) and low total harmonic distortion (THD) over a
wide range of loads. It uses a multi-phase continuous mode boost PFC architecture, resulting in ripple current
cancellation that offers lower EMI and extends the life of electrolytic capacitors.
Users can configure and customize the iHP modules to fit exact applications requirements. A qualified service
personnel can configure the iHP rack for single or three phase inputs. The modules can be connected in series
or parallel, while achieving accurate voltage and current sharing. Using grouping commands, modules in
parallel or series can be controlled as one single output. For specific types of load applications, the iHP system
can be programmed to three different compensation configurations including resistive load, capacitive load
and LED load. The LED load compensation opens new applications for large horticulture farms that require
high voltage for many LED strings tied in series.
1.2 Operational Overview
The iHP system is designed to be configurable to meet varied design requirements. The number of
configurable parameters is extensive and access to the parameters is via a computer interface instead of the
front panel. Before operating the supply, it is important that communication between a computer and the
supply be established and the supply operational parameters be configured for the intended application.
iHP Manual 11 | P a g e
iHP Owners Manual
The simplest way to get started is to use the Power Pro Connect Module (PPCM) to establish a link to the
supply. The PPCM allows the user to quickly establish a connection with the power supply with a Web based
GUI and set up the power supply. The configuration of the supply can be set up to run autonomously when
powered on, controlled via rear panel digital and analog input and outputs, or actively controlled via the
PPCM.
For more advanced users developing their own software control, the PPCM is not required and the supply can
be directly interfaced via the users preferred standard communications protocols, including CANbus, Ethernet
and RS485.

2.5.3 Remote Sense Wiring
The iHP system uses remote sense to regulate the voltage drops in the system. The module has a negative
(V_SNS-) and a positive (V_SNS+) remote sense to compensate for line drops. Although not needed for
operation, the remote sense wires must be connected to the desire regulated point to be able to meet the
specification regulation limits. Refer to Section 4.2.1 for the location of the remote sense signals in the module
connector J2.
2.5.4 Parallel Module Connection
Same module models can be connected in parallel for higher current applications. A paralleling busbar can be
used to parallel the output modules positive (+) and negative (-) terminals as shown in Figure 2-8. M8 bolt and
nuts should be used. When ordered as a system, the required busbars will be provided to configure the system
as ordered. If reconfiguring a system and a busbar is required for reconfiguration, contact the factory or sales
to obtain the needed busbar.

2.5.7 Output Blocking Diode and Antiparallel Diode Recommendation
iHP Manual 30 | P a g e
iHP Owners Manual
The iHP modules can be used in a redundant parallel system by connecting the outputs together via OR-ing
diodes. For good regulation the remote sense connections must be made after the OR-ing diode at the same
point on the busbar or load. The remote sense leads should be the same length for each power supply and a
twisted pair should be used for best noise immunity. The current share lines between the power supplies
should be connected as shown in Figure 2-10.
Figure 2-10 Blocking diode for use when connecting modules in parallel
An antiparallel diode should be connected across each module’s terminal to prevent sinking of current into
one module when it is OFF while the others are ON. The diode should be capable of carrying the maximum
current and the forward voltage (Vf) drop should be lower than what is in the table below.

Digital Communication
Digital communication is necessary to setup and operate the iHP system. Digital communication will be used to:
Read the configuration setting of the iHP
Change the configuration setting of the iHP
Voltage, current, temperature, and power reporting
Status reporting
SW updates for module, PFC, and ISOCOMM
Available user digital communications interfaces for the iHP are CAN, RS485, and Ethernet. The connection
ports are shown in Figure 3-1. Ethernet (UDP protocol), RS485 (custom RS485 protocol), and CAN (custom CAN
protocol) protocol specifications are in a separate document.
Communication with the iHP system is controlled via the iHP ISOCOMM (ISOlated COMMunication) section of
the supply. All commands are sent to and from the iHP ISOCOMM via the digital communication link. Once a
command has been sent to the iHP ISOCOMM, ISOCOMM will handle the sending of the information to the
internal PFC section and installed modules. The ISOCOMM functions as a bridge between iHP internal
communication and iHP external communication.
Inside the iHP rack, there is an Internal Communication Bus. The installed modules, PFC (Primary Side), and
ISOCOMM are all connected to this Internal Communication Bus, but are electrically isolated from each other
per safety requirements. ISOCOMM manages the internal communications and external communication of the
iHP. Once ISOCOMM receives a command from the user, ISOCOMM will transmit the command to the module
or PFC section of the iHP. If the user needs data from a module or PFC device, the module or PFC device will
transmit data to the ISOCOMM and ISOCOMM will be the one to send data to the user.
Figure 3-1 12kW and 24kW ISOCOMM Section
iHP Manual 33 | P a g e
iHP Owners Manual
3.1 iHP Digital Communication Identifier
To communicate to the iHP, the user needs to know the iHP address and the specific device inside the iHP
system in which the user needs to communicate. ISOCOMM, installed modules and PFC devices function
independently inside an iHP system and each device has its own device address as shown in Figure 3-2 and 3-3.

Figure 3-3 12kW iHP rack internal communication architecture
3.1.1 iHP Address
Each iHP system will have a specific address for digital communication. The address will be used to
communicate from the PC/Laptop to the iHP system. The iHP address is dependent on the mode of
communication.
Ethernet Address depends on the configuration of iHP. IP setting can be Static or DHCP. For Static IP, this
will need to be set to an unassigned IP address by the user before integration into a system. For DHCP, the
router will assign an open IP address.
CAN/RS485 CAN and RS485 communication shares the same address from 0 to 5. When using multiple iHP
systems, the address will need to be set before integrating with other iHP systems to avoid address conflicts.
The IP setting and CAN/RS485 address configuration settings are discussed in more detail in Section 5.1.3.
iHP Manual 35 | P a g e
iHP Owners Manual
3.1.2 Internal Device Address inside iHP
An iHP system is composed of different independent devices (modules and PFC devices). The internal device
address is used to identify the specific device or module group in which user wants to communicate. Please
see below table for the Internal Device Address inside the iHP system.

3.2 iHP Commands
The iHP command set is patterned from PMBus, but uses a proprietary transaction protocol. All PFC devices
have a specific set of commands, all module devices have a specific set of commands, and the ISOCOMM
device has a specific set of commands. The PFC command list is in Appendix B.1, the module command list is
in Appendix B.2, and the ISOCOMM command list is in Appendix B.3.
iHP commands can be classified into four groups:
iHP Manual 36 | P a g e
iHP Owners Manual
User Configurable Commands Commands that can be configured based on the user operation
requirements. The user configurable commands are the commands that can be read or written by the
user.
Notes for Module User Configurable Command:
The user needs to send the save command (Using ISOCOMM command D7h) in order to retain the
command on the next power-up. ISOCOMM command is required to change the module’s D3h
(MODULE_CONFIG), B5h (MODULE_VRISE_TIME), B6h (MODULE_IRISE_TIME). When the user
sends these commands, the setting will be AutoSaved to the module and there is no need to send
a separate save command.
Manufacturer Commands Commands used by the manufacturer. The user is not allowed to use
these commands.
Read-Only commands Commands for iHP system reporting and fixed configuration settings. The
user can only read these commands.
Voltage, current, power, and temperature reporting
Status reporting
Fixed configuration settings
Special Command Commands that have special function in the operation of the iHP system.
3.3 Interval Between User Commands
To communicate properly there should be a time interval between user commands.

3.4 Ethernet Communication
The iHP Ethernet connection can support up to 10/100Mbps link speed. The iHP IP setting can be configured
to static IP or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). By default, the Ethernet communication is set to
DHCP, which requires connection with a router to assign an IP address.
If a router is not being used, the iHP will not have an IP address to allow communication, so the user will need
to use the LAN RESET button to set the iHP to known state, which is static IP with IP address of 192.168.2.100.
iHP Manual 37 | P a g e
iHP Owners Manual
The iHP rack can be connected to a PC directly using the static IP setting. When using the iHP system with
static IP mode, the user computer may need to have a static IP as well to communicate. Details on setting the
IP configuration is discussed in Section 5.1.3. Figure 3-4 shows an example of connecting directly to the iHP
system using a static IP.
If the user has forgotten the Ethernet setting, the user can push the LAN RESET button to reset the Ethernet.
The LAN RESET button will reset the Ethernet connection to a known state, which is static IP with the IP
address of 192.168.2.100.
Figure 3-4 iHP system connected directly to the PC (static IP)
iHP Manual 38 | P a g e
iHP Owners Manual
If the user’s PC/Laptop needs to connect to the iHP system and the user’s network, the user should use a
router (static IP or DHCP) or switch (static IP) as shown in Figure 3-5.
Figure 3-5 IHP system connected using a router or switch
Up to six iHP systems can be used on the same network at the same time. To communicate using a PC with
multiple iHP systems, the user can use a router (static or DHCP IP) or switch (static IP) as shown in Figure 3-6.

Bits per seconds = 115200
Data bits = 8
Parity = None
Stop bits = One
Flow control = None
RS485/CAN Bus Terminator or 120Ω terminating resistors are required at both end terminals, PC and iHP rack.
For multiple RS485 communication, the terminating resistor should be placed on the iHP rack farthest from the
PC/Laptop.

Operation
4.1 iHP System Power-up
This section explains the initial power up of iHP units. It is assumed in this section that this will be the first
time the iHP rack and iHP module will be powered up after iHP rack and module was manufactured by Artesyn.
4.1.1 Initial Power-up
Discussed in this section are the iHP rack and iHP module default settings when shipped from Artesyn.
Configure the input and output connections to the iHP rack and iHP modules based on user
requirements. Please follow Section 2 for the installation requirement.
Apply input AC to the iHP rack.
Note: Please follow the allowable input AC parameters located on the AC input rating label of the iHP rack.
Figure 4-1 AC Input connections and AC input rating label location
Upon the application of input AC, the ISOCOMM will undergo boot-up sequence. The fan will momentarily
turn on at full speed and will settle down. The power LED, in the front panel, shown in Figure 4-2, will be
blinking GREEN color during the boot-up sequence. After boot-up sequence, the power LED will be either
steady RED (AC BAD) or steady GREEN (AC OK) depending on the AC power to the iHP rack. For a full list of LED
responses, please refer to Appendix A.
iHP Manual 44 | P a g e
iHP Owners Manual
Figure 4-2 Front Panel Power LED
After about 20secs from the application of input AC, the boot-up sequence should be completed. The iHP rack
will have detected the slot with installed modules and ISOCOMM will be functional. From the factory, when
initially applying input AC, the iHP module outputs will not power-up by default and the user will need to press
the front panel switch. The modules are shipped by Artesyn with Digital Voltage Source (DVS) configuration
and the output voltage will be set to the module’s nominal voltage. The iHP rack and module software
configuration when shipped from Artesyn are listed on the next section.
4.1.2 iHP Module Default Settings
Table 4-1 contains iHP module default settings when shipped from Artesyn. The module command definitions
are in Appendix B.2 Module Command.

4.2.1.2.1 V_SNS+ and V_SNS-
The distance of the load and the module can create a voltage drop on the wires. To compensate for the
voltage drops on the wire, remote sense is employed.
The module has a positive return, V_SNS+ J2 Pin 1, and a negative return, V_SNS- J2 Pin 8, remotes sense to
compensate for ground drops and line drops respectively. Remote sense will be able to regulate out a
maximum of 200mV drop on each sense line. It is recommended for user to connect the remote sense either
on the load side or to the output terminals of the modules. The connection of the remote sense signal
determines the point at which the voltage will regulate. Remote sense is required to meet the regulation
specification of the module. Remote sense is required during voltage source configuration.
The module will protect itself if the polarity is incorrectly connected between the V_SNS+ and V_SNS- to
module’s output positive and negative terminal. It is recommended to use twisted and equal length wires for
V_SNS+ and V_SNS- for noise immunity.
For parallel module output operation, all module V_SNS+ should be star connected and all
module V_SNS- should be star connected as shown by examples in Figure 4-7. Star connection is
recommended to reduce the introduction of DC offset and noise to the signals.

4.2.1.2.2 External Current Sense
An external shunt resistor can be connected to the iHP module. The current sensing will be transferred from
the iHP module internal shunt to external shunt. The iHP module’s EXT_ISENSE+ J2 Pin 3 and EXT_ISENSE- J2
Pin 9 signals are used for external current sense application.
The module configuration should be changed to enable external current sense operation via ISOCOMM
command module MODULE_CONFIG (D3h).
iHP Manual 56 | P a g e
iHP Owners Manual
When using external current sense, all output current information used by the iHP module will be taken from
the differential voltage across the external shunt. The information collected from external sense connections
will be used for output reporting, current protection, and constant current operation.
Connection of the external shunt should only be on the negative output busbar of the iHP module. The
EXT_ISENSE- should be connected to the external shunt’s negative output busbar side and the EXT_ISENSE+
should be connected to the external shunt’s load side as shown in Figure 4-8.

4.4 Digital Control
The user can control the module’s output voltage or current using a PC or laptop when the module is
configured in digital control. A wide range of digital commands is supported. Module commands are specific
to an individual module at the module level. ISOCOMM commands are higher-level system commands such as
when controlling a group of modules. Many of the commands are fixed but several are user configurable. A
list of the user configurable commands specific to the modules and example of the command structure is
shown in Section 5.2. Definition of all the Module Commands is in Appendix B.2, Module Command.
Definition of ISOCOMM Command is in Appendix B.3, ISOCOMM Command.
4.4.1 Digital Voltage Source (DVS)
In this operating mode, the user has the capability to control the output voltage using digital means. A PC or
laptop will be required to change the output voltage. To change to Digital Voltage Source (DVS) mode, the
user needs to send below commands to ISOCOMM.

The user can program the module’s output voltage within 5% to 120% of the nominal output voltage rating of
the module. For example, a 24V module has a nominal voltage of 24V and can be set to operate between 1.2V
and 28.8V.
iHP Manual 67 | P a g e
iHP Owners Manual
Setting the VREF outside the valid range:
Setting the VREF value beyond the acceptable range, but not to 0V, the module will trigger a Status
CML (Communication Memory Logic) fault and will retain the existing value.
Setting the VREF value to 0V, the module will enter to standby mode. To re-enable the module, set
VREF to an acceptable range.
During a module change of output voltage:
OVP is temporary disabled until the output voltage level increases to the commanded VREF.
UVP is temporary disabled until the output voltage level decreases to the commanded VREF.
IREF will automatically readjust if the voltage request is above the nominal output voltage. This will
prevent the module from operating above the rated power.
4.4.1.1 DVS Protection Modes
When the supply is in DVS mode, the output is protected against over current, short circuit, over voltage, and
under voltage faults. The behavior of the supply during an over current fault or short circuit fault is dependent
on whether IREF is set to constant current behavior or latch behavior. In constant current mode, the module
will attempt to operate at a constant current level while reducing the output voltage and in latch mode, the
supply shut off. In the event of over voltage and under voltage faults, the supply will shut down. Please refer
to Section 8 on how to clear the fault and power up the module after fault.
4.4.1.1.1 DVS Protection Over Current Response
Over current (OC) response mode will be set by Module Command 52h (OC_RESPONSE_TYPE). The two types
of response are Constant Current and Latch. The over current level will be based on Module Command 4Dh
OC_FAULT_LIMIT_MULTIPLIER setting.
Module command 4Dh OC_FAULT_LIMIT_MULTIPLIER range is 50% to 105%
When 52h is set to Constant Current Response, the module will enter constant current mode when load
current reaches the IREF value (B2h). The output voltage will decrease to maintain the load current at the
current limit. No fault reporting occurs during this condition.
The module will revert to normal operation when load current becomes less than IREF value (B2h).
The constant current setting, IREF, is dependent on the Vout setting (VREF).
When the:
Vo (VREF) is below or equal to the nominal voltage
IREF = (Inominal) * (OC_FAULT_LIMIT_MULTIPLIER)
Vo (VREF) is above the nominal voltage, the IREF, value is automatically reduced to maintain the supply
within the maximum peak power of the module
IREF = [ (Pnominal) * (OC_FAULT_LIMIT_MULTIPLIER)] / VREF
iHP Manual 68 | P a g e
iHP Owners Manual
Note that the CC setting level, IREF, will be reflected on IREF (Module Command B2h).
When 52h is set to Latch Type, the module will shut down when the output current reaches the Latch Level for
500msec and a fault status will be reported. The Latch Current Level setting is dependent on the Vout setting
(VREF).
When the:
Vo (VREF) is below or equal to the nominal voltage
Latch Current Level = (Inominal) * (OC_FAULT_LIMIT_MULTIPLIER)
Vo (VREF) is above the nominal voltage, Latch Level value is automatically reduced to maintain the supply
within the maximum peak power of the module
Latch Current Level = [ (Pnominal) * (OC_FAULT_LIMIT_MULTIPLIER)] / VREF
Note that latch setting level will NOT be reflected to IREF (Module Command B2h). Latch Level can be
determined by computation as stated above.
4.4.1.1.2 DVS Short Circuit Protection
When 52h is set to Constant Current Response, the module will shut down when Vo is approximately less than
4% of the nominal for 2 seconds or more. A fault status will be reported.
When 52h set to Latch Type Response and an output short circuit occurs, the current level should exceed the
latch current level and the module will shut down. A fault status will be reported.
4.4.1.1.3 DVS Protection Over Voltage Protection (OVP)
Over voltage protection will be based on Module Command 48h (OV_FAULT_LIMIT_MULTIPLIER) and B1h
(VREF),
OV Level = (48h OV_FAULT_LIMIT_MULTIPLIER) x (B1h VREF)
The module will shut down when the output voltage reaches the OVP level and a Fault status will be reported.
4.4.1.1.4 DVS Protection Under Voltage Protection (UVP)
Under voltage protection will be based on Module Command 4Bh (UV_FAULT_LIMIT_MULTIPLIER) and B1h
(VREF),
UV Level = (4Bh UV_FAULT_LIMIT_MULTIPLIER) x (B1h VREF)
The module will shut down when the output voltage is less than UVP level and a fault status will be reported.
Note that output UVP will be disabled when the module enters constant current protection.

*Before writing to the module, please ensure that the Module Command Write Protect (10h) is disabled.
* Please refer to Section 5.2 for Module User Configurable Parameters or Appendix B.2 Module Command
The user can program the module’s output current within 0% to 100% of the nominal output current. Setting
the IREF value beyond the acceptable range, but not to 0A, the module will trigger a Status CML fault and will
retain the existing value. Setting the IREF value to 0A will cause the module to enter to standby mode. To
enable again the module, set IREF to an acceptable range.
4.4.2.1 DCS Protection Modes
When the supply is in DCS mode, the supply limits the current to the IREF value and the voltage is limited by
the VREF value. Secondary output protection is provided in rare load conditions by the OC Fault Level and the
OV Fault Level.
4.4.2.1.1 DCS Protection: Constant Voltage Clamp
There are conditions that can exist when the output voltage will be greater than the VREF level (B1h)
Fixed load resistance and the user increases the IREF setting
Fixed IREF setting and load resistance increases.
When module output voltage reaches the VREF level, the module will enter constant voltage mode. This will
protect the module from continuous increase in output voltage. There will be no fault reporting during this
condition. To enter again to DCS, the user needs to decrease the IREF setting or decrease the load resistance.
For module software v04.10.00 and above, user can update the Constant Voltage Clamp from nominal voltage
down to 5% of the nominal voltage of the module via Module Command B1h. For module software below
v04.10.00, constant voltage clamp is fixed to the nominal output voltage.
4.4.2.1.2 DCS Protection: Over Current Response and Short Circuit Protection
During DCS, over current response will be fix to “Latch type” (52h). OC level will be based on Module
Command 4Dh OC_FAULT_LIMIT_MULTIPLIER setting.
Module Command 4Dh OC_FAULT_LIMIT_MULTIPLIER range is 50% to 105%
The module will shut down when the output current reaches the OC level and a fault status will be reported.
With Vo (VREF) below or equal to the nominal voltage, the latch level setting value is
Latch Current Level = (Inominal) * (OC_FAULT_LIMIT_MULTIPLIER)
Note that the latch setting level will NOT be reflected to IREF (Module command B2h). Latch level can be
determined by computation as stated above.
iHP Manual 71 | P a g e
iHP Owners Manual
4.4.2.1.3 DCS Protection: Over Voltage Protection (OVP)
Over voltage protection level during DCS will be based on the OV Fault Limit Multiplier (48h) and VREF (B1h)
setting.
OV Level = (48h OV_FAULT_LIMIT_MULTIPLIER) x (B1h VREF)
The module will shut down when the output voltage reaches the OVP level and a fault status will be reported.
4.4.2.1.4 DCS Protection: Under Voltage Protection (UVP)
During DCS operating mode, under voltage protection is not functional.

4.5.1.1 AVS Protection Modes
When the supply is in AVS mode, the output is protected against over current, short circuit, over voltage, and
under voltage faults. The behavior of the supply during an over current fault or short circuit fault is
dependent on whether IREF is set to constant current behavior or latch behavior. In constant current mode,
the module will attempt to operate at a constant current level while reducing the output voltage and in latch
mode the supply shut off. In the event of an overvoltage and under voltage faults the supply will shut down.
Please refer to Section 8 on how to clear the fault and power up the module after fault.
4.5.1.1.1 AVS Protection Over Current Response
Over current response mode will be set by Module Command 52h (OC_RESPONSE_TYPE). The two types of
response are Constant Current and Latch. The over current level will be based on Module Command 4Dh
OC_FAULT_LIMIT_MULTIPLIER setting.
Module Command 4Dh OC_FAULT_LIMIT_MULTIPLIER range is 50% to 105%
When 52h set to Constant Current Response, the module will enter constant current mode when load current
reaches the IREF value (B2h). The output voltage will decrease to maintain the load current at the current limit.
No fault reporting occurs during this condition.
The module will revert to normal operation when load current becomes less than IREF value (B2h).
The constant current setting, IREF, is dependent on the Vout setting (VREF).
When the:
Vo (VREF) is below or equal to the nominal voltage
IREF = (Inominal) * (OC_FAULT_LIMIT_MULTIPLIER)
Vo (VREF) is above the nominal voltage, the IREF, value is automatically reduced to maintain the supply
within the maximum peak power of the module
IREF = [ (Pnominal) * (OC_FAULT_LIMIT_MULTIPLIER)] / VREF
Note that the CC setting level, IREF, will be reflected on IREF (Module Command B2h).
When 52h set to Latch Type, the module will shut down when the output current reaches the latch level for
500msec and a fault status will be reported.
The Latch Current Level setting is dependent on the Vout setting (VREF).
When the:
Vo (VREF) is below or equal to the nominal voltage
Latch Current Level = (Inominal) * (OC_FAULT_LIMIT_MULTIPLIER)
iHP Manual 78 | P a g e
iHP Owners Manual
Vo (VREF) is above the nominal voltage, Latch Level value is automatically reduced to maintain the supply
within the maximum peak power of the module
Latch Current Level = [ (Pnominal) * (OC_FAULT_LIMIT_MULTIPLIER)] / VREF
Note that the latch setting level will NOT be reflected to IREF (Module Command B2h). Latch level can be
determined by computation as stated above.
4.5.1.1.2 AVS Short Circuit Protection
When 52h is set to Constant Current Response, the module will shut down when Vo is approximately less than
4% of the nominal for 2 seconds or more. A fault status will be reported.
When 52h set to Latch Type and an output short circuit occurs, the current level should exceed the latch
current level and the module will shut down. A fault status will be reported.
4.5.1.1.3 AVS Protection Over Voltage Protection (OVP)
Tracking over voltage protection Module Command 48h (OV_FAULT_LIMIT_MULTIPLIER) is not operational
during AVS. A Brick Wall OVP is operational during this mode. In Brick Wall OVP mode the limit is hard coded
in module firmware at the factory and cannot be changed. The module will shut down when the output
voltage reaches the Brick Wall OVP level. Brick Wall OVP level is specified in Section 4.1.2 and a fault status will
be reported.
4.5.1.1.4 AVS Protection Under Voltage Protection (UVP)
During ACS operating mode, under voltage protection is not functional.
4.5.2 Analog Current Source (ACS)
In this operating mode, the user has the capability to control the output current using analog means. For ACS,
the user can control the output using 0-5VEXT_IPROG or 0-10VEXT_IPROG
To change to Analog Current Source (ACS) mode, the user needs to send below commands to ISOCOMM.

4.5.2.1 ACS Protection Modes
When the supply is in ACS mode, the supply limits the current to the IREF value and the voltage is limited by
the VREF value. Secondary output protection is provided in rare load conditions by the OC fault level and the
OV fault level. Please refer to Section 8 on how to clear the fault and power up the module after fault.
4.5.2.1.1 ACS Protection: Constant Voltage Clamp
There are conditions that can exist when the output voltage will be greater than the VREF level (B1h):
Fix load resistance and user increases the IPROG input.
Fix IPROG input setting and load resistance increases.
When module output voltage reaches the VREF level, the module will enter constant voltage clamp. This will
protect the system from continuous increase in output voltage. There will be no fault reporting during this
condition. To enter again to ACS, the user needs to decrease the IPROG input or decrease the load resistance.
For module software v04.10.00 and above, the user can update the Constant Voltage Clamp from nominal
voltage down to 5% of the nominal voltage of the module via Module Command B1h. For module software
below v04.10.00, Constant Voltage Clamp cannot be changed and is set to the nominal output voltage.
4.5.2.1.2 ACS Protection: Over Current Protection and Short Circuit Protection
During ACS, over current protection will be fix to “latch type” (52h). OC level will be based on Module
Command 4Dh OC_FAULT_LIMIT_MULTIPLIER setting.
Module Command 4Dh OC_FAULT_LIMIT_MULTIPLIER range is 50% to 105%
The module will shut down when the output current reaches the OC level and a fault status will be reported.
With Vo (VREF) below or equal to the nominal voltage, the latch level setting value is
Latch Level = (Inominal) * (OC_FAULT_LIMIT_MULTIPLIER)
Note that the latch setting level will NOT be reflected to IREF (Module Command B2h). Latch Level can be
determined by computation as stated above.
4.5.2.1.3 ACS Protection: Over Voltage Protection (OVP)

Module Group
Module Group function was designed to treat multiple modules in a rack as one.
The main function of module grouping is to provide a:
1. Single command for all modules in a group (limited command).
2. Single status reporting for all modules in a group.
3. Single reporting of Vo, Io, and Po for all modules in a group.
Modules are REQUIRED to be grouped as one during parallel or series connections.
Using a group address, the modules included in the group will receive the write command simultaneously.
Individual write command to a module is not allowed when a module belongs to a group. This is needed during
parallel or series operation in which the module should react simultaneously.
Ex.
Changing VREF to change the output voltage.
Changing IREF to change the output current.
User will need to configure in the ISOCOMM WebTool. Please refer to Section 5.1.5. Modules will be allowed
to be included in one group only.
6.1 Group Device Address
ISOCOMM SWv02.08.00 and below have four module groupings.
ISOCOMM SW v03.00.00 and onwards have seven module groupings.
Instead of using ISOCOMM or module device address to send WRITE or READ command, Group device
addresses are available. There are seven groupings available. Each group has a specific, unique device address.

The group address will be used to send READ or WRITE commands to all modules included in the group. Only
one READ or WRITE command sent is needed to simultaneous command all modules in a group.
6.2 Group Initialization at Start up
Group initialization will take place after ISOCOMM boot sequence. If the grouping function is activated,
ISOCOMM will check the configuration of each module. Each specific configuration should be the same in each
module that belongs to a group. If there are discrepancies in the module configurations, all iHP modules in the
iHP rack will not be allowed to turn-on. ISOCOMM command 80h (MFR Status) low byte bit 4 will be asserted
(Group Mismatch Fault).

Multi-Rack Operation
Multi-rack operation is functional on ISOCOMM SW v03.00.00
Multi-rack operation connection is:
When the modules are inserted in different iHP rack and connected in series or parallel.
When the modules are inserted in different iHP rack and there is a need to synchronize turn-on or
turn-off of the modules.
During multi-rack operation, Rack Synchronization Off should be enabled. This function can be configured in
the ISOCOMM WebTool Rack section. The number of racks included in the multi-rack operation should be
selected. Rack Synchronization OFF is REQUIRED when modules in parallel or series are connected to different
iHP racks.
The main purpose of Rack Synchronization Off is to ensure that all modules in the multi-rack operation:
Turn-on simultaneously
Turn-off when there is at least one module at fault.
Turn-off when there is at least one module commanded to turn-off via hardware or software.
When Rack Synchronization Off Operation is enabled, Module Synchronization Off will be automatically
enabled, but requires each rack be connected via Ethernet communication as it uses Ethernet communication
to perform this function. All IP addresses of the iHP rack, router and PC should be the same except for the last
octet. For example, each IP address will start at 192.168.2.xxx and each iHP rack, router and PC will have a
unique value for xxx (except for 0 and 255)
The following diagram shows the system configuration for Rack Synchronization OFF Ethernet communication.
iHP Manual 113 | P a g e
iHP Owners Manual
Each rack will send status via the communication lines. Rack status during multi-rack operation can be either:
GOOD
FAULT/STANDBY
To have an iHP rack status GOOD”, all of these conditions are met:
All modules included in the rack do not have any Latching Fault or Auto-recoverable Fault
iHP rack does not have any Latching Fault or Auto-recoverable Fault
All modules included in the rack are NOT in standby mode via
Using software Operational command.
Using module hardware signal (Module Enable or Module Inhibit signal).
Using iHP rack hardware signal (Global Enable/Inhibit signal).
If any below scenario occurred, the status FAULT/STANDBY will be reported by the iHP rack.
At least one module included in the rack has a Latching Fault or Auto-recoverable Fault
iHP rack has any Latching Fault or Auto-recoverable Fault
At least one module included in the rack is in standby mode via
Using software Operational command.
Using module hardware signal (Module Enable or Module Inhibit signal).
Using iHP rack hardware signal (Global Enable/Inhibit signal).
Using Power SW button located in the front panel.
7.1 During Turn-On
iHP rack with Rack Synchronization OFF enabled will communicate to each other via Ethernet. Each iHP rack
will get all the IP addresses (for Ethernet) of all rack with enabled Rack Synchronization OFF. This will be
recorded in the ISOCOMM WebTool. Aside from the communication address, the rack serial number will also
be recorded and shown in the ISOCOMM WebTool.
Ex. iHP rack with IP address: 192.168.2.100
Rack Synchronization OFF is ENABLED
Number of racks connected is three.
192.168.2.100 is included in the three iHP rack.
The remaining two will be reflected on 192.168.2.100 WebTool Home page.
iHP Manual 114 | P a g e
iHP Owners Manual
Each rack with enable Rack Synchronization Off will send its status via Ethernet communication. When the
status of all racks are “GOOD”, all module outputs will turn-on.
7.2 During Turn-off
o iHP rack with fault or standby will send a “FAULT/STANDBY” status via Ethernet. Once the iHP rack receives
the “FAULT/STANDBY” status, each iHP rack will shut down all modules. After this, the iHP rack with Fault
or Standby status will continue to broadcast the “FAULT/STANDBY” from time to time until the fault is
clear or standby mode is deactivated.
7.3 From Module Standby Activated to Module Standby De-activated.
When the module standby is de-activated, the iHP rack will send a status “GOOD” via Ethernet. When all iHP
racks in the multi-rack system have a status “GOOD”, all modules will turn-on.
7.4 From Fault to Fault Clear.
When the module recovers from fault condition latch condition, the iHP rack will send a status “GOOD” via
Ethernet. When all iHP racks in the multi-rack system have a status “GOOD”, all modules will turn-on.
7.5 Broadcast Command on Multi Rack Operation
Broadcast command is recommended when modules in each iHP Rack in Multi Rack operation are grouped;
see Section 6 on how to group modules.
Group address on each Rack should be the same in order to do broadcast command.
iHP Manual 115 | P a g e
iHP Owners Manual
Above sample Multi Rack operation is using 2 units of iHP 12KW Rack with two modules each inserted per
Rack.
The 2 modules, Module 1 & Module 2 are group in Group 1.
Broadcast address is set at 192.168.2.255.
Using Group 1 address, the modules included in the group will receive the write or read command
simultaneously.

B.4 Data Format: Linear
iHP Manual 173 | P a g e
iHP Owners Manual
Data Format Linear is one of the PMBUS Data Format used in iHP units. Please refer to
Appendix B.1, B.2, and B.3 for the PMBUS Commands that uses Linear Data Format.
The Linear Data Format is a two byte value with:
o An 11bit, two’s complement mantissa.
o An 5bit, two’s complement exponent (scaling factor)
The format of the two data bytes is illustrated below
The relationship between Y, N, and the “real word” value is:
X= Y * 2N
Where:
X is the “real word” value
Y is an 11bit, two’s complement integer
N is a 5 bit, two’s complement integer
Example:
Module PMBUS Command 8Dh
Data return: EAC0h
High Byte: EAh = 1110 1010b
Low Byte: C0h = 1100 0000b
iHP Manual 174 | P a g e
iHP Owners Manual
Interpretation:
N = 11101b = -3
Y = 01011000000 = 704
Computation
X= Y * 2N
X= (704) * 2(-3)
X= 88 oC
B.5 Data Format: Direct
One of the Data Format used in iHP units. Please refer to Appendix B.1, B.2, and B.3 for the
Commands that uses Direct Data Format.
In order to convert the data in to “real word” value, user needs to determine the # of bytes
and the multiplier.
The relationship between Y, N, and the “real word” value is:
Y = X * N
Where:
X is the “real word” value
Y is the data read from the device in decimal.
N is a the multiplier
Example 1:
Module Command 8Bh (READ_VOUT)
# of byte = 3 Byte
Multiplier = N = 10000
COMMAND 8Bh returns a data of 0757B0h
Convert 0757B0h to decimal = 481200
Y = X * N
481200 = X * 10000
iHP Manual 175 | P a g e
iHP Owners Manual
X = 48.12 V
Example 2
Module Command 8Ch (READ_IOUT)
# of byte = 3 Byte
Multiplier = N = 10000
COMMAND 8Bh returns a data of 098968h
Convert 098968h to decimal = 625000
Y = X * N
625000 = X * 10000
X = 62.5A
Example 3
Module Command 48h (OV_FAULT_LIMIT_MULTIPLIER)
# of byte = 2 Byte
Multiplier = N = 100
COMMAND 48h returns a data of 2EE0h
Convert 2EE0h to decimal = 12000
Y = X * N
12000 = X * 100
X = 120%
