Overview
This family of High Voltage Power Supplies includes single width boards housing up to 12 output channels. The boards are designed to provide voltage up to 8 kV, and current up to 1 mA with up to 100 mV set and 10 mV monitor resolution. All the boards are compatible with all CAEN Universal Multichannel Power Supply Systems. The available grounding option, depending on the family are the following: Common Ground (AGxxxx) or Common Floating Ground (Axxxx) except for the A1632H that features individual floating channels insulated up to ±50 V. Common Floating Return allows on-detector grounding reducing the noise level.
The HV ramp-up and ramp-down rates may be selected, for each channel, in the 1 ÷ 500 V/s range (1 V/s step). The boards are provided with both current and voltage protections. If overcurrent occurs, the relevant channel can be programmed either to turn of after a programmable trip time or to remain on and to provide the maximum allowed current. This particular feature allows the module to perform as a current generator. Channels may be enabled or disabled via the Interlock logic. The voltage ramp rates may be set independently for each channel.
A1560H / A1580H
A15x0H boards are specifically designed for Germanium detector. They house 8 independent channels equipped with an individual enable and with SHV connectors. Positive, negative or mixed polarities are available.
The output voltage range is 0 ÷ 6 kV (A1560H) or 0 ÷ 8 kV (A1580H), with 10 mV monitor resolution. The maximum output current is 20 µA, with 50 pA monitor resolution. The HV ramp-up and ramp-down rates may be selected, for each channel, in the 1 ÷ 500 V/s range (1 V/s step).
A1632H
A1632H is a single width board housing 8 High Voltage individual floating channels equipped with SHV connectors. The channels feature independent returns, insulated between each other up to ±50V.
The board is available with positive or negative polarity and is non-reversible. The output voltage range is 0 ÷ 6 kV (100 µA maximum output current) with 100 mV monitor resolution.
A7460
A7460 houses 12 independent high voltage channels with dual current full scale range and is available with positive, negative or mixed polarity.
The output voltage range is 0 ÷ 6 kV with 10 mV set/monitor resolution. The maximum output current is 1 mA with a 5nA setting resolution. The monitor resolution is 5 nA in the high range (1 mA) and 500 pA in the low range (100 µA).
Universal Multichannel System (Mainframes)
Modularity, Compatibility, Connectivity, Usability and Solidity are the keywords of the system design. The Mainframes have been specifically designed to power all detector technologies found in modern Physics Experiments, such as photomultipliers, wire chambers, streamers tubes, silicon detectors and others.
The systems are modular, flexible and match not only the requirements of major experiments with large number of channels but also the practical needs of test laboratories, where simple manual operations on a limited number of channels are often desired.
Software
A complete set of Software Tools is available (free download) to control CAEN Universal Multichannel Power Supply Systems, from low level libraries to graphical application software:
|
|
CAEN, in collaboration with CERN, has developed an OPC server which allows control of its power supply systems by any OPC compliant client application. |
|
|
HiVoCS is a Web Interface available on any SY4527-SY5527 CPU. This Interface can be accessed directly via browser without installing any additional software. |
|
|
Mainframes CPUs integrates an EPICS Input / Output Controller (IOC) that provides access to the Process Variables using the Channel Access Protocol. |
| CAEN HV Wrapper Library |
It is a set of ANSI C functions bundled in a library, providing the software developer an unified software interface for the control of all the CAEN Power Supply products |
|
|
CAEN General Control SW for High Voltage Boards and Systems. it can manage and control CAEN HV power supplies in any form factor as if they were an unique device. |
