Chapter 4 Panel Operation

4.1 Basic Operation Mode

There are four operation modes for electronic load:


1. Constant current (CC)
2. Constant voltage (CV)
3. Constant resistance (CR)
4. Constant power (CW)

4.1.1 Constant Current Operation Mode (CC)


In this mode, the electronic load will sink a current in accordance with the programmed value regardless of the
input voltage. Please refer to the picture 4.1. If maximum current value of the measured power supplier is lessen
than the constant current value set, the electronic load might fail to adjust itself to the constant current and the
voltage of the measured power supplier could be changed to be low.
I

Current Set

4.1 Constant Current Mode


4.1.1.1 Setting up a Standard Constant Current Mode
Press the key I-SET,then the VFD display will show STANDARD CURR=xxxxxxxxA, the current constant
current value. Press the numeric keys and decimal point key to enter the constant current value required, followed by
pressing the key Enter to confirm. Then the load will enter into the standard constant current.
If the input state is in OFF state, then the right upper corner of the VFD display will show the word OFF. Press
the key On/Off to change the input state into ON state. Then the right upper corner of the VFD display will show the
word CC or Unreg. Showing CC means the load has been successfully set into the expected constant current value;
showing Unreg means the load couldn’t adjust itself to the expected constant current value. Please check if the
measured power supplier has been correctly connected and turned on; make sure if the expected constant current
value is in the range of the measured power supplier.
If you want to fine tune the constant current value, you can rotate the selective encoder knob to adjust the value.
Rotating clockwise is to increase the value while rotating anti-clockwise is to decrease the value. Note: if the
constant current value you want to set is beyond the maximum constant current value of the load, the current value
will stop to be increased even if you still rotate the selective encoder knob clockwise. Then the right lower corner of

10
ET System electronic GmbH

the VFD display shows the constant current value you set, among which, a cursor shows under one number, meaning
this number requires fine tuning. If users want to change the fine tuning accuracy, just press the rotary encoder knob
in which a key is included. Every time when you press the rotary encoder once, the cursor will move forward to the
previous number.

4.1.1.2 Loading and Unloading Constant Current Mode


Loading and unloading mode can well protect the measured power supplier from damage. When the voltage of
the measured power supplier begins to increase, the load will automatically adjust itself to the open-circuit state, and
begin to carry the measured power supplier and adjust itself to the current value set only when the voltage of the
measured power supplier has been increased to the ONSET loading voltage. When the voltage of the measured
power supplier begins to decrease and has been decreased to the OFFSET unloading value, the load will
automatically adjust itself to the open-circuit state. If the ONSET loading voltage value is higher than the OFFSET
unloading voltage value, the load can be avoided from frequent carrying and unloading at the critical point of
unloading voltage; thus the measured power supplier can be well protected.

When in standard constant current mode, press the key Shift+1(V_Level)and enter into the loading and
unloading constant current mode. When the VFD display shows ONSET VOLT=xxxxxxxxV indicating the current
loading voltage, press the numeric keys and decimal point key to enter the loading voltage value required, followed
by pressing the key Enter to confirm. Then the VFD will shows OFFSET VOLT=xxxxxxxxV indicating the current
unloading voltage. Press the numeric keys and decimal point key to enter the unloading voltage value required,
followed by pressing the key Enter to confirm. In this way, the load will enter into the loading and unloading
constant current mode.
If the input state is in OFF state, then the right upper corner of the VFD display will show the word OFF. Press
the key On/Off to change the input state into ON state. Then the right upper corner of the VFD display will show the
word CC_UN or Unreg. Showing CC_UN means the load has successfully set into the expected constant current
value; showing Unreg means the load could not adjust itself to the expected constant current value. Please check if
the measured power supplier has been correctly connected and turned on; make sure if the voltage is normal and if
the expected constant current value is in the range of the measured power supplier.

ET System electronic GmbH

In loading and unloading constant current mode, press the key Shift+1(V_Level), the load will back into the
standard constant current mode.

4.1.1.3 Soft Start Constant Current Mode


Soft start constant current mode functions as an inductive load, simulating inductance value which is in direct
proportion with the rise time of soft start. In this mode, the measured power supplier can be avoided from current
strike damage.

When in standard constant current mode, press the key Shift+2(S_Start)to enter into the soft start constant
current mode. When the VFD display shows Rising TM=xxxxxxxxvmS indicating the current rising time, press the
numeric keys and decimal point key to enter the rising time required, followed by pressing the key Enter, In this
way, the load will enter into the soft start constant current mode.
If the input state is in OFF state, then the right upper corner of the VFD display will show the word OFF. Press
the key On/Off to change the input state into ON state. Then the right upper corner of the VFD display will show the
word CC_S or Unreg. Showing CC_S means the load has been successfully set into the expected constant current
value; showing Unreg means the load couldn’t adjust itself to the expected constant current value. Please check if
the measured power supplier has been correctly connected and turned on; make sure if the expected constant current
value is in the range of the measured power supplier.
In loading and unloading constant current mode, press the key Shift+2(S_Start), the load will back into the
standard constant current mode.
Note: The rise time set is automatically regulated to be the round number times of 20uS.

4.1.1.4 Constant Current Shifting into Constant Voltage Mode


In constant current shifting into constant voltage mode, the measured power supplier can be avoided from
current strike damage.

When in standard constant current mode, press the key Shift+4(CC+CV)to enter into the constant current
shifting into constant voltage mode. When the VFD display shows CC TO CV VOLT=xxxxxxxxV indicating the
current constant voltage value, press the numeric keys and decimal point key to enter the constant voltage value
required followed by pressing the key Enter to confirm. In this way, the load will enter into the constant current
shifting into constant voltage mode.
If the input state is in OFF state, then the right upper corner of the VFD display will show the word OFF. Press
the key On/Off to change the input state into ON state. Then the right upper corner of the VFD display will show the
word CC+CV or Unreg. Showing CC+CV means the load has been successfully set into the expected constant
current value; showing Unreg means the load could not adjust itself to the expected constant current value. Please
check if the measured power supplier has been correctly connected and turned on; make sure if the voltage is
normal.
In loading and unloading constant current mode, press the key Shift+4(CC+CV), the load will back into the
standard constant current mode.

4.1.2 Constant Resistant Operation Mode(CR)


In this mode, the module will sink a current linearly proportional to the input voltage in accordance with the
programmed resistance. Please refer to the picture 4.5.
Note: when the voltage of the measured power supplier is too high and the resistance set is too low, it will
result in the consumed current higher than the maxim output current of the measured power supplier, or result in the
loads failing to adjust itself automatically to the constant resistance, even result in the load shock.

4.2.5 Waveform Control


4.2.5.1 Square Wave
When the rise time and falling time are both set as zero and the dynamic testing operation mode is set as
continuous mode, the output wave is square wave. The output frequency is the inverse of the lasting time sum of
current A and current B. Since the minimum accuracy of all the time is set as 20uS,the load can read the square
wave with the maximum frequency of 25KHz and duty cycle of 50%.

4.2.5.2 Triangular Wave


When the lasting time of both current A and current B are set as zero and the dynamic testing operation mode is
continuous mode, the output wave is triangular wave. The output frequency is the inverse of the sum of the rising
time and falling time. Since the minimum accuracy of all the time is set as 20uS, the load can read the triangular
wave with the maximum frequency of 25KHz. Since the rising edge and falling edge of the triangular wave are all
step wave with 20uS output frequency, the ideal degree of triangular wave is in inverse proportion to the its output
frequency. In extreme situations, the triangular wave might function as square wave; there are 0-100 accuracy
difference according to the different rising time and falling time set.

4.2.5.3 Trapezoidal Wave


When the four time parameters that need to set are all bigger than zero and the dynamic testing operation mode
is continuous mode, the load output wave is trapezoidal wave. It has the same frequency characteristics with the
triangular wave.

ET System electronic GmbH

press the Up and Down keys to select the parameters of remote measurement function. Showing TERMINAL
SELECT FRONT means input terminals selected is at the front panel and the remote measurement function of the
rear panel is closed; showing TERMINAL SELECT BACK means input terminals selected is at the rear panel and
the remote measurement function of the front panel is closed. Then press the key Esc to escape the Menu item.
Note: At any time either the input terminals at the front panel or at the back panel is initiated. It is impossible to
initiate the input terminals both at the front panel and at the back panel together. If the voltage of the load is near to
zero point and does not change according to the signal, please check if the wire mode matches the parameters of the
remote measurement function.

4.7 Battery Testing

Experiment proves the test with load is the best method to ensure the battery whether work well or not. Only
with the correct load testing, the battery can be confirmed if it was being the expectant life curve location. The
ELP/DCM9711 electronic loads can be used to test any type of the battery nowadays.
As to any battery used either in sheltered equipment or in the uninterrupted service system, it is necessary to
use the load testing. Because the battery is the lowest reliable component, it must be tested by the load periodically
to ensure the reliability of the battery.

Capability Test
Constant current mode is applied in ELP/DCM9711 Serial electronic load to test the capability. A program is
set to control voltage level. When the voltage of the battery is too low, the electronic load will identify the battery
being on the threshold value set or at the margin of insecure state and will stop testing automatically. When the load
is in testing procedure, you can see the battery voltage, battery discharge current, electronic, load power and battery
capability that has been spared. If the load is connected with PC software, then you can see the discharge curve of
battery discharge. This test can test out the reliability and remaining life of battery. So it is very necessary to do the
test before you change another new battery.
Operation:
1) In standard constant current mode, adjust the load current value to the discharge current value of battery
required.
2) Press the key Shift+8(Battery). When VFD display shows END TEST VOLT= xxxxxxxxV,set the
turn-off voltage and press the key Enter to start the capability test. When the voltage drops to the turn-off
voltage, the load will automatically turn off.
3) Press the key On/Off to start or to pause the battery capability test.
4) Press the key Shift+8(Battery)to escape the battery capability test mode.

4.8 Communication protocol

4.8.1 Introduction
ELP/DCM97 series programmable electronic loads work with Modbus protocol. The data frame contains 4 parts as
follows:

Salve Address Function Code Data Error Checking(CRC)

To make sure high reliability for the communication, we need to set the frame pitch greater than 3.5 times of the
transient time of single bit byte. Eg. When the baud rate is 9600, then the frame pitch time must be greater than
11*3.5/9600=0.004s.

ELP/DCM97 series programmable electronic loads provided with double way asynchronous communication, fixed 1
bit as the start bit, 8 data bit, and 1 stop bit. Support Non parity check, Odd Parity check and even parity check.
Baudrate could be selected as 2400, 9600, 14400, 28800, 57600, 115200.

1) Setup additional address and communication parameter


The additional address is a single byte with 16 hexadecimal system data; ELP/DCM97 series electronic loads will
only response the request data frame which has the same additional address.

2)Setup the additional address


Press Shift+0 in turn, Enter into the Main Menu, the Load will display as MENU CONFIG,Press the key Enter to
confirm, then the load get into CONFIG Menu, press ▲ and ▼ key button, to let the load display CONFIG
ADDRESS SET, then press Enter to confirm, the load will display ADDRESS ADDR= xxx, you can change the
address number by press the numeric keys, and press the key Enter again to confirm.

29
ET System electronic GmbH

Note: The valid additional address number is integers in the range of 1-200.

3)Select the check mode


Press Shift+0 in turn, enter into the main Menu, the load will display MENU CONFIG, press the key Enter to
confirm,the load will get into CONFIG menu, press ▲ and ▼ key button, to let the load display CONFIG
COMM.PARITY, press Enter to confirm, then the load will display COMM.PAR xxxxx, you can select the parity
check mode by pressing ▲ and ▼ key button, and then press Enter to confirm.

4.8.2 Setup Baudrate


Press Shift+0 in turn , the load will display MENU CONFIG, Press Enter to confirm, the load will enter into
CONFIG menu, press ▲ and ▼ key button to let the load display CONFIG BAUDRATE SET, press Enter to
confirm, the load will display BUADRATE xxxxx, you can choose the appropriate baudrate as you need, and
press Enter to confirm. Totally 6 different baudrate provided for selection. 2400、9600、14400、28800、57600、
115200.

4.8.3 Data
In some data frame, the date length is fixed, but there are some data frame length is not fixed. According to Modbus
protocol, in the data field, all the hex data and floating point number are formed as the High Byte in the former and
Low byte in the after. Addition,the output value of force single coil must be 0x0000 or 0xFF00. 0x0000 means OFF,
while 0xFF00 means ON. All other values are invalid and will not affect the coil.

4.8.4 Function Code


Function codes are single byte hex number; there are 4 function modes as follows:

Function Code Description


0x01 Read Coil Status, read the data by the bit
0x05 Force Single Coil, write the data by the bit
0x03 Read Holding Registers, read the data by the word
0x10 Preset Multiple Registers, write the data by the word

4.8.5 Error checking(CRC)


ELP/DCM97 series load use the Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC). The CRC field checks the contents of the entire
message. The CRC fileld is two bytes, containing a 16-bit binary value.When the CRC ia appended to the message,
the low-order byte is appended first, followed by the high-order byte.
The discipline is as follows:
a) Setup one hex CRC register, and give the initial value as 0xFFFF。
b) Make bitxor for the first byte of the frame date and the lower 8 bit of the CRC register. And save the bitxor
result into the CRC register.
c) Right move CRC register for 1 byte, and check the if the lowest bit is 1, if the lowest bit is 1, and then
make the bitxor for the CRC register and the fixed data 0xA001.
d) Repeat c) for 8 times.
e) Repeat step b,c,d, for the next byte of frame data, till the last byte.
f) The last number in the CRC register is the last parity checking result. Put it at the end of the frame data,
and keep the lower 8 bit in the after and higher 8 bit in former.
