Theory of Operation
This chapter introduces the function and principles of operating the SPS5000X series power
supply.
Operating Area Description
SPS5000X are DC switching power supplies with high voltage and current output. All models
have continuous voltage (CV) and continuous current (CC) output control modes with
working ranges limited only by the output power. The working area is determined by the
rated output power and the rated voltage and current.
When the total output power of the power supply (voltage x current output) is less than the
rated power output, the SPS operates as a typical constant voltage and constant current
power supply.
When the total output power (voltage x current output) is greater than the rated power output,
the effective output is limited to 105% of the rated power. At this time, the output voltage and
current are only related to the load value as shown below:
CC and CV Mode
When the power supply is operating in CV mode, the load receives a constant voltage, and
the current output changes with the load. When the load resistance is too low to maintain

the constant voltage, the power supply switches to CC mode, and the current limit remains
constant.
When the power supply is operating in constant current mode (CC), the load receives
constant current. Even if the output voltage is changed, the current remains the same. If the
load resistance increases to the current limit (Iset) or greater, the power supply switches to
CV mode. This switching point is called the crossover point, and the local state is displayed
as ALT.
The power supply operates in CV or CC mode, which is determined by the set voltage (Vset),
set current (Iset), load resistance (RL) and critical resistance (Rc, Rc=Vset/Iset). When
RL>Rc, the power supply runs in CV mode. At this time, Vout=Vset, Iout<Iset. If RL
decreases, when Iout=Iset, the power supply switches to CC mode.
On the contrary, when the load resistance is less than the critical resistance, the power
supply operates in CC mode. In CC mode, the output current is equal to Iset and the output
voltage is less than Vset.
CV priority mode CC priority mode
Slew Rate
The slope of CV and CC mode can be selected to limit the voltage and current consumption.
The slope setting is divided into high-speed priority and slope priority. The high-speed priority
mode does not allow setting the slope in CV or CC mode, while the rising and falling slopes
can be set independently in the slope priority mode.

Bleeder Control
The SPS power supplies feature a bleeder resistor. When the power is turned off and the
load is disconnected, the bleeder resistor will consume the power in the output capacitor.
Without a bleeder resistor, the output capacitor would continue to be charged, causing
potential danger.
The bleeder resistance can also play a role in smoothing the voltage regulation rate.

Alarms
The power supply has a protection function. When the protection alarm is set, the protection
mechanism will be triggered and respond accordingly when the set conditions are reached.
OVP
The overvoltage protection (OVP) function prevents
the load from being damaged by high voltage and
triggers the output to be disconnected.
OCP
The overcurrent protection (OCP) function prevents
the load from being damaged by high current and
triggers the output to be disconnected.
OTP
Overtemperature protection function can prevent the
instrument from overheating damage and
automatically disconnect the output.
Alarm output
The alarm output is a separate open collector
photocoupler output. When the protection settings
(OCP, OVP, OTP) are exceeded, the power supply
will automatically shut down and an alarm will be
output via the analog control interface.
Considerations
The following conditions should be considered when using SPS power supplies:
Inrush current
The power supply generates an inrush current when it is turned on. Ensure that the power
supply is sufficient at the moment of starting, especially when multiple power supplies are
turned on at the same time.
SPS5000X Series User Manual
WWW.SIGLENT.COM 40
Note
In a short time, the switching power supply will generate
inrush current, reducing the service life of the power
switch of the input fuse box.
Pulsed or Peaked loads
The load is subject to current peaks or pulses, and the maximum current may exceed the
average current value. The power supplies only display the average current value. For
pulsed current loads, the actual current may be greater than the displayed value. At this time,
the current limit must be increased or the large power supply must be turned off.
Reverse current regenerative load
When the power supplies are connected to regenerative loads (such as transformers and
inverters), the reverse current will be fed back to the power supply and cannot be absorbed
by the power supply. For such a load that can generate reverse current, a resistor must be
connected in parallel with the power supply to avoid the inflow of reverse current. This
method is only applicable when the bleeder resistor is closed.
To calculate the resistance value (Rd) of the virtual resistor, first determine the maximum
reverse current Ir and determine the output voltage Eo.
Note
As the current decreases, the resistance of the output is
partially absorbed.
Ensure that the resistor used can withstand the power
SPS5000X Series User Manual
WWW.SIGLENT.COM 41
capacity of the power supply or load.
Reverse current connection method
When the power supplies are connected to a load such as a battery, reverse current may
flow into the power supply. To prevent damage to the power supply, connect a reverse
protection diode in series between the power supply and the load.
Note
Ensure that the reverse voltage of the protection diode
can withstand 2 times the rated output voltage of the
power supply and that it can withstand 3 ~ 10 times of
the rated output current of the power supply in forward
(conduction) current.
Ensure that the diode can withstand the subsequent
heat generated by the maximum power that the supply
can deliver.
When a diode is used to limit the reverse voltage, the
remote measurement function should be turned off
Grounding
The output terminals of the power supplies are independent of the protective ground terminal.
When in protective grounding or floating low, the insulation capacity of the load, load line,
and other connected equipment must be considered.
Floating
When the output terminal is floating, the load and all load wires must be insulated, and the
insulation capacity should be greater than the insulation voltage of the power supply.
SPS5000X Series User Manual
WWW.SIGLENT.COM 42
Grounded output terminal
If the positive/negative terminal is connected to the protective ground terminal, the insulation
capacity required by the load and the load line will be greatly reduced. The insulation
capacity only needs to be greater than the maximum output voltage of the power supply.
Note
If using external voltage control, please do not
ground the external voltage terminal, otherwise, it will
cause a short circuit.

sufficient at the moment of turning on, especially when
multiple power supplies are turned on at the same
time.
Power Off
Press the switch button on the panel to set the 0 position to turn off the power.
Warning
It takes about 8 seconds for the power to be fully
turned on and off.
Do not turn the power on and off quickly. Please wait
at least 10 seconds before changing the output switch
state.
Attention
When the power supply is on, quickly chaging the output state may damage the power
supply. Do not continuously change the output state of the supply.
Output Port
Before connecting the output terminal to the load, consider the cable specifications and the
maximum voltage of the load. Connect the output terminal and load line with M4 screw or
M8 bolt (> 30A). If remote voltage measurement is used, remove the connection terminals
on S +, S - and output, and connect the S +, S - detection lines to the load. For the most
accurate power delivery, connect the S+ and S- as close to the load as possible

Remote Control
The SPS5000X supports communication with a computer via USB, LAN, and GPIB-USB
interfaces using a SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) compliant
command set.
This chapter will introduce how to build a programming environment and explain the SCPI
commands supported by the SPS5000X.
Way to Control
Using NI-VISA
Users can realize remote control of the instrument by using NI-VISA of NI (National
Instrument Corporation). Regarding NI-VISA, there is a complete and real-time version
(Run-Time Engine version). The complete version includes NI device drivers and a tool
called NI MAX. NI MAX is a user interface used to control the device. The real-time version
is much smaller than the full version, and it only includes NI device drivers.
After installing NI-VISA, use a USB cable to connect the SPS5000X (via the USB Device
interface on the rear panel) to the computer, or use a network cable to connect the
SPS5000X (via the LAN interface on the rear panel) to the local area network where the
computer is located.
Based on NI-VISA, users can remotely control SPS5000X in two ways, one is through web
service; the other is custom programming combined with SCPI commands. For more
information, please refer to the programming examples.
Using Sockets
Users can also use Sockets to communicate with SPS5000X based on the TCP/IP protocol
through the network port. Socket communication is a basic communication technology of
computer networks, which allows applications to communicate through network hardware
SPS5000X Series User Manual
WWW.SIGLENT.COM 79
and standard network protocol mechanisms built into the operating system. This method
requires two-way communication between the instrument and the computer network through
an IP address and a fixed port number.
The port of SPS5000X for Socket communication is 5025.
After connecting the SPS5000X (via the LAN interface on the rear panel) to the local area
network where the computer is located with a network cable, the user can combine SCPI
commands for custom programming to realize remote control of the SPS5000X. For more
information, please refer to the programming examples.
Grammatical Conventions
SCPI commands are a tree-like hierarchical structure, including multiple subsystems. Each
subsystem is composed of a root keyword and one or several hierarchical keywords.
Command keywords are separated by colons ‘: ’, keywords are followed by optional
parameter settings, commands and parameters are separated by ‘spaces’, for multiple
parameters, parameters are separated by commas‘, ’. A question mark ‘?’ is added after the
command line, which means to query this function.
Most SCPI commands are a mixture of upper and lower case letters. Capital letters indicate
the abbreviations of commands, namely short commands. If you want better program
readability, you can use long commands. E.g:
Among them, the keyword VOLTage. You can enter VOLT or VOLTage, and combine upper
and lower case letters at will. Therefore, VolTaGe, volt, and Volt are all acceptable. Other
formats (such as VOL and VOLTAG) will produce errors.
⚫ Braces ({ }) enclose the parameter selection. The braces are not sent with the command
string.
⚫ The vertical line (|) divides the parameter selection.
⚫ Angle brackets (< >) indicate that a value must be assigned to the parameter inside the
SPS5000X Series User Manual
WWW.SIGLENT.COM 80
bracket. The angle brackets are not sent with the command string.
⚫ Optional parameters are enclosed in square brackets ([ ]). If you do not specify a value
for the optional parameter, the instrument will use the default value. For example, the
[:SET] in the above command can be omitted (for example: ‘VOLT? CH1’), and the
command will operate on the current channel. The square brackets are not sent with the
command string.

Troubleshooting
The following lists the power supply in the use of the process of possible failures and
troubleshooting. When you encounter these faults, please follow the corresponding steps to
deal with them. If you can't handle them, please contact siglent in time.
A. If the power on key is pressed, the power supply is still black, and there is no display:
➢ Check whether the power connector is connected properly.
➢ After checking, please restart the power supply.
➢ If the power supply can not be started normally, please contact SIGLENT.
B. No voltage output by output
➢ Check whether the voltage and current settings are correct
➢ Check whether the supply is in host mode, whether EXT on/off is in the off state,
Volt_ctrl and Curr_ctrl are in Local state, whether the output resistance is set properly,
whether the output delay time is too large, and the slope mode setting is too small,
which causes the output voltage to rise slowly.
➢ Use the default setting to reset the voltage and current output after restoring the
factory settings.
➢ If the power supply still cannot be used normally, please contact SIGLENT.
