RE: Current Source / Power supply suggestion

["Goetze, Kurt via Tech-talk" <tech-talk@aps.anl.gov>]

Hi Nilson,

We have written RS232 support for the BK Precision 9173B, and deployed this device on APS beamlines for applications similar to yours.  
https://www.bkprecision.com/products/power-supplies/9173B-two-channel-dual-range-dc-power-supply-10v-10a-20v-5a.html

The 9131B is also supported:  (click on the "Models" tab)
https://www.bkprecision.com/products/power-supplies/9130B-triple-output-programmable-dc-power-supplies.html

You can find the BK 9173B EPICS support in the synApps/IP module on github:
https://github.com/epics-modules/ip

The 9131B support is not in github yet but I will put it in there.  These are fairly inexpensive compared with other options out there with similar specs.  Not sure about their availability in Europe, but here we can get them through the big electronics distributors.

Kurt

Subject: Current Source / Power supply suggestion

Dear All,

I am developing a temperature control solution based on peltier elements. The PID loop will control the current on the peltier elements based on the target temperature.

What I am really looking for are suggestions for remote control linear DC Current source (0-5A, >300W) or Power supply with available EPICS drivers.

Any information will be truly appreciated. (Bonus for being easily available in europe)

Thank you.

Best regards,

Nilson Pereira
