The MS Series is built on the same power processing modules as the TS Series, only packaged in a floor-standing cabinet and expanding into higher power levels. The available The MS Series models covers a very wide output range, spanning from voltage levels from 5 Vdc up to 4000 Vdc (floating) and current levels up to 4500 Adc. 30 kW model are available in a 31.5" (80.0 cm) high cabinet, while 45 kW to 75 kW models are available in a 51" (129.5 cm) high chassis; all cabinets come with casters. In addition, there are several special low voltage high current models, enabling a more cost-effective solution for these requirements. All MS Series power supplies come standard with isolated 37-pin external I/O, RS232, Remote Interface Software, IVI drivers for integration into a variety of programming environments.
All MS Series MagnaDC power supplies come with a dedicated National Instruments LabVIEW™ driver, Interchangeable Virtual Instrument (IVI) driver, and support for a wide range of Standard Commands for Programmable Instrumentation (SCPI). These programming interfaces support full control, measurement, and monitoring of the MagnaLOAD. All of the MagnaLOAD's available communication interfaces are supported by these drivers and command sets, including: RS232, LXI TCP/IP Ethernet, IEEE-488 GPIB, USB or RS485.
Showcased in the following basic code examples, SCPI commands provide the simplest form of communication by using plain ASCII text and parameters sent over a basic socket connection. Over 50 commands are provided, with detailed documentation in the MS Series User Manual.
There are 106 different models in the MS Series spanning power levels: 30 kW, 45 kW, 60 kW, 75 kW.
* Models marked with an asterisk are special low-voltage high-current models that may vary in size and input current from the standard MS Series models within the same power envelope.
Available for models rated for 250 Vdc to 1000 Vdc, the +ISO option greatly increases the output isolation, used when the application demands floating or tying units in series beyond the standard ±1000 Vdc output isolation rating.
The Integrated Blocking Diode Option provides an internally heatsinked protection diode on the positive output terminal of a MagnaDC programmable DC power supply to protect the product's output from reverse voltage up to 1200 Vdc.
Magna-Power products are made-to-order with build-times that vary depending on the model's maximum power rating. The current build-time for the MS Series is 4-5 weeks.
