Firmware version history file for power supply series PSB 9000 PSB 9000 SLAVE PSBE 9000 Meaning of the symbols: + Feature added - Feature or bug removed (general bug fixes are not listed to have a better overview) * Feature changed -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Component KE: v2.20 (first release) + Added PSB features * Bug fixes and general performance improvements v2.24 + Battery test support (ModBus & SCPI) + Analog interface pins 6, 14 and 15 can now be configured to signal various statuses * Profinet: network settings (IP, subnet mask, gateway) are now ignored, because with Profinet they are usually configured via network and remote tools such as Siemens PST * Ethernet timeout can now be set to 0 to turn it off v2.25 + SCPI: Support for leading colon (":") * Ethernet timeout: the timeout can now be deactivated by setting it to 0 + XY generator: support for XY tables (IU, PV, FC, PV EN 50530) added v2.26 * Improved parallel ramping of slaves in master-slave operation + Added ModBus command to perform "Reset device to defaults" also from remote + Added command to restart the IF-AB interface module via USB (in case it hangs or changed settings haven't been submitted successfully) * OT: the signalling of an OT alarm is now delayed for 2 s (means, the OT condition must persist for at least two seconds to be signalled) + Profibus/Profinet: added slots and indexes for some ModBus registers which were added for PSB 9000 series, also for other added features such as battery test etc. + EtherCAT: added indexes for some ModBus registers which were added for PSB 9000 series, also for other added features such as battery test etc. v2.27 + Profibus/Profinet: added slots/indexes for new registers (see updated register list) + OT: added setting to determine whether the DC output shall be off after an OT alarm or continue * Master-slave: improved current ramping of an MS system when swithing the DC output on(there is a natural delay between the master and the slaves) * Ethernet: enabling "TCP keep-alive" setting now forces the Ethernet timeout setting to 0, which means "off" - Removed a bug where the system would hang when the ModBus protocol is disabled, but the device receives a ModBus message * Improved SCPI setup and control of extended PV function EN50530 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Component KE for GPIB models: v2.08 + Analog interface pins 6, 14 and 15 can now be configured to signal various statuses v2.09 + SCPI: Support for leading colon v2.10 + OT: added setting to determine whether the DC output shall be off after an OT alarm or continue * Master-slave: improved current ramping of an MS system when swithing the DC output on(there is a natural delay between the master and the slaves) - Removed a bug where the system would hang when the ModBus protocol is disabled, but the device receives a ModBus message * Improved SCPI setup and control of extended PV function EN50530 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Component HMI (PSB 9000): v2.01 (first official release) v2.02 - Removed bugs where the Ohm symbol would not be displayed correctly * CAN: updated screen information for cyclic data regarding extra the values which are transmitted from PSB 9000 series + CAN: added setup items for cyclic comunication regarding the sink mode of PSB 9000 series + Alarms: added new alarm "Safety OVP" (only with 60 V models) which is displayed only in situations where the output voltage exceeds 60 V. This alarm cannot be acknowledged, the device must be power-cycled instead. v2.03 - Profinet interfaces: removed IP settings, since these are usually managed from a remote tool such as Siemens PST and didn't represent the true network settings after they were changed by the remote tool + Analog interface: added settings to configure the signals on output pins 6, 14 and 15. The pins can now be configured to signal: Pin 6: only "OT", only "PF", "OT" or "PF" Pin 14: 7 combinations of "OVP", "OCP" and "OPP" Pin 15: "CV" or "DC on/off" - Removed possible bug: when switching back from master-slave mode where the power would be displayed in kW to normal mode, sometimes display of kW would remain - Removed a bug where the adjustment limits for sink operation were not respected when switching to master-slave mode - Removed various bugs v2.04 + XY generator: support for XY tables (IU, PV, FC, PV EN 50530) added + Battery test: support for battery test (4 modes) * Ethernet timeout: the timeout can now be deactivated by setting it to 0 * Fixed bug: Setting current values of > 3000 A in master-slave systems and in function generator didn't work v2.05 + "DC output after OT alarm": similar to previous already available settings, this new setting in General Settings menu enable to chose what the DC output shall be after an OT alarm, on or off (default: on) + Function to restart interface in COMMUNICATION menu, in the submenu for the particular interface. This is used to reset a supposedly hanging interface on the device side + Master-slave: added "Rnom" to summary screen after master-slave init * Ethernet timeout: the Ethernet timeout can now be set to zero which deactivates the timeout, the same thing is now also done when activating setting "Enable TCP keep-alive" v2.06 - Removed small bugs regarding battery test + Master-slave: devices slave running as slave now show an option during master-slave setup which allow to enable the HMI feature "Backlight off after 60 s", which is here directly accessible. The option shall help to protect the screen from running all the time while slaves don't show informative data. * Master-slave: MPPT tracking function now enabled in MS mode * Ethernet: the Ethernet timeout is not forcibly set to 0 when activating "TCP keep-alive" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Component HMI (PSBE 9000): v2.01 (first official release) v2.03 + Added new setting "DC output after OT alarm" + Added settings to reconfigure the pins 6, 14 and 15 of the analog interface to indicate several alarms and statuses -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Component DR: v2.06 + XY generator: support for XY tables added
