X-ray sources package more power
Spellman High Voltage Electronics Corp has expanded its Monoblock series of X-ray sources.
The custom designed surface mount interface board is small enough to be installed inside many of Spellman's existing high voltage power supply offerings, providing digital control of most standard products.
Supporting three popular interface protocols, the SIC control card allows for the selection of interface best suited for the requirements.
Data acquisition and control capabilities are provided by three microprocessors: a 40MIPS digital signal processor, a network processor, and a USB processor/controller.
Interface functionality is achieved via 14 channels of 12bit analogue-to-digital convertors, two additional analogue channels that monitor house keeping power supply and ambient temperature, five digital output bits, eight digital input bits, and three relay/interlock contacts.
The SIC digital interface card, along with a full compliment of software, provides easy, out-of-the-box functionality.
A full featured GUI (graphical user interface), written in Visual Basic, allows for control of the power supply via any one of three interfaces.
Additionally, a diagnostic web server can control and monitor any SIC equipped power supply from a web browser.
Control, operational status and real-time configuration of the power supply can all be accomplished through the use of a provided control applet.
