Artesyn Embedded Technologies has announced the Config Pro online power supply configurator to help customers to find the optimal solution from the three million plus combinations enabled by its range of configurable power supplies.
The Config pro tool will make it easier for industrial and medical equipment designers to specify and use configurable power supplies and can, in many cases, eliminate the need for expensive custom solutions.
Covering Artesyn’s four configurable power supply families, the MP, iMP, iVS and MicroMP (uMP) series, the Config Pro tool starts with a user entering the current or power requirements for up to 21 individual outputs, up to 500 Vdc output and up to 970 amps. The tool then generates a selection of configured options, which can be further refined and results in a solution that is optimized for cost.
It can also recommend further cost-saving alternatives based on similar feature and power ratings. The user is provided with a graphical representation of the configured power supply and downloadable PDF summary of the configuration.
Artesyn’s Config Pro tool uses a powerful solution algorithm that factors in complex variables including dual and triple output modules, and parallel and series solutions.
The tool also includes a reverse part lookup to enable designers to quickly find information on parts if they have a configured part number.
