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:

WWW.SIGLENT.COM 33
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
SPS5000X Series User Manual
WWW.SIGLENT.COM 34
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.

Note
The bleeder resistor is turned on by default. In battery
charging applications, make sure to turn off the bleeder
resistor when the instrument is turned off because the
bleeder resistor will discharge the connected battery.
Internal Resistance
The internal resistance can be customized in the configuration menu of the
power supply. After setting, it can be regarded as a resistor in series with the
positive output terminal. At this time, the power supply behaves like power
source with internal resistance, such as a lead-acid battery.

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
SPS5000X Series User Manual
WWW.SIGLENT.COM 37
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.
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.
SPS5000X Series User Manual
WWW.SIGLENT.COM 38
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
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
SPS5000X Series User Manual
WWW.SIGLENT.COM 39
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
SPS5000X Series User Manual
WWW.SIGLENT.COM 40
voltage of the power supply.
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.
SPS5000X Series User Manual
WWW.SIGLENT.COM 43
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
Warning
The power switch must be turned off before installing
wiring at the power output terminal.
Otherwise, there may be a risk of electric shock.
The single-module model also has a front output port that can output a
maximum current of 10 A.
Warning
The front and rear outputs cannot be used at the same
time. When the front output is connected with the load,
the rear port should not be connected with the load.

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
SPS5000X Series User Manual
WWW.SIGLENT.COM 66
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 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:
SPS5000X Series User Manual
WWW.SIGLENT.COM 67
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 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.
