iVS Series
4920 Watt Configurable AC-DC Power Supplies
iVS Extension Adapters
The iVS extension adapters provide USB and Controller Area Network (CAN)/RS485bus connectivity. They are fitted internally to the power supply and connect with its I2C bus to provide a complete interface that enables iVS devices to be controlled by a simple command set, conveying a very high level of configuration flexibility.
The CAN/RS485 to I2C interface adapter module connects with CANbus architectures through CaseRx/CaseTx interfaces on the iVS case. The module communicates with the onboard I2C bus via the MODbus protocol for RS485 bus and via the modified MODbus protocol for CANbus. The USB to I2C interface adapter module connects to a USB port on a standard PC and provides bidirectional communication with iVS devices using the PMBus protocol.
The adapters enable the iVS to be used in numerous ruggedized applications, including automotive and industrial networks, medical equipment and building automation systems.
