UI, UIP, UIR, PVsim and user-defined U/I characteristics support supply, limiting and simulation tasks.
LAB/SMP – Programmable DC Power Supply up to 2.4 kW
Compact 19-inch platform for repeatable supply and simulation tasks.
The low-profile rack design combines a graphical front-panel interface with precise adjustment and monitoring of the output values. Remote sensing supports voltage regulation directly at the load, while the low-noise cooling system provides comfortable operation in laboratory and development environments.
Setpoints, delays, loops and characteristics can be executed digitally or from an optional memory card.
ATI 5/10, RS232 and soft interlock are integrated as standard; further digital interfaces are optional.
One master controls up to seven slave units to increase the available output current in parallel operation.

LAB/SMP series overview
The LAB/SMP series consists of switch-mode programmable DC sources for laboratories, development, quality assurance and automated test systems. The model range covers output power ratings of 750 W, 1,200 W and 2,400 W, with rated voltages from 15 V to 1,200 V. Depending on the selected model, output currents of up to 160 A are available. Most units use a compact 19-inch chassis with a height of 1 U and a depth of 440 mm; the 2,400 W versions rated at 15 V and 1,200 V require 2 U. In addition to conventional voltage and current limiting, the series supports power limiting, internal resistance simulation, PV characteristics and user-defined U/I output curves. Front-panel operation, analogue control and digital remote operation support both manual laboratory use and integration into ATE, production and system solutions.
Key benefits
Extensive model range
Three power classes and eight voltage ratings support dedicated selection for low-voltage, high-current or high-voltage applications.
Compact rack integration
Most versions require only 1 U, providing efficient use of space in laboratory, test-bench and ATE installations.
Digital control functions
Dedicated PID controllers support power limiting, internal resistance simulation and PV characteristics with adjustable controller parameters.
Precise programming
Programming accuracy is ±0.05% + 2 mV for voltage and ±0.05% + 2 mA for current.
Galvanic isolation
The galvanic isolation between the input and output circuits is rated at 3,000 V.
Adjustable output profiles
Adjustable voltage and current slopes together with user-defined characteristics support repeatable dynamic test sequences.
DC power supply operating principle
LAB/SMP units convert the mains input through a PFC stage and a switch-mode power regulator into a controlled DC output. Setpoints can be entered from the front panel, the galvanically isolated analogue interface or a digital interface. Present output values remain available for display and monitoring.
Depending on the selected mode, the internal control system processes voltage, current, power or resistance setpoints. In PVsim and User mode, the current setpoint is calculated from the measured output voltage and a stored characteristic. This enables the unit to provide both constant operating points and defined source characteristics.

Auto load sharing through the analogue interface provides accurate current distribution between the master and slave units.
Master-slave control
Voltage, current and OVP are configured on the master. Slave units receive the corresponding analogue setpoints.
Up to eight units
For stability reasons, no more than one master and seven slave units should be connected in parallel.
Installation and infrastructure
The 1.2 kW and 2.4 kW power classes have different requirements for input voltage, mains connector, protection and power consumption. The specific mains and connector configuration must be checked against the complete model designation.

Available ordering options include alternative single- and three-phase mains inputs, a 400 Hz input and a 250 to 750 VDC input. Compatibility must be confirmed for the selected model.
Protection and safety functions
Overvoltage protection
The shutdown level can be adjusted up to 120% of the maximum unit voltage. The output is disabled when OVP is triggered.
Current and power protection
Overcurrent and overpower protection complement the adjustable current and power limits.
Temperature monitoring
Heat-sink temperatures are monitored, and an overtemperature function protects the unit from excessive thermal stress.
Undervoltage protection
UVP extends the protection functions by monitoring for an inadmissible undervoltage condition.
Protection class I
Operation is permitted only with the protective earth connected. The input and output circuits are galvanically isolated.
Soft interlock
An open interlock circuit prevents output activation. The soft interlock is not a safety function as defined by machinery directives.
Frequently asked questions about the LAB/SMP series
How is the correct LAB/SMP model selected?
Selection is based on the required output voltage, maximum current and power at the intended operating point. Chassis height, mains input and required options must also be considered.
Can the series simulate PV modules or solar generators?
Yes. PVsim calculates a characteristic from open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current, MPP voltage and MPP current.
Which operating modes are available?
Available modes include UI, UIP, UIR, PVsim, user-defined characteristics and script operation.
Which interfaces are included as standard?
The galvanically isolated ATI 5/10 analogue interface, RS232 and soft interlock are included as standard. IEEE488, RS485, USB and LAN are optional.
Is parallel operation supported?
Yes. Auto load sharing supports one master and up to seven slave units to increase the total output current.
What does the high-speed option provide?
It reduces the secondary rise and fall time of the DC output voltage by an average factor of 10 compared with the standard version.
Can standalone test sequences be executed?
Yes. Scripts can contain up to 1,000 commands including setpoints, operating modes, delays and loops.
What is remote sensing used for?
Remote sensing compensates for voltage drops in the load cables by measuring the output voltage directly at the load.
