IHP

iHP intro video YouTube description Artesyn’s iHP configurable intelligent power system provides accuracy, resolution and stability as either a programmable voltage or current source. It can be configured for multiple outputs using a wide variety of plug-in modules that address a large range of voltages and currents. The 24 kilowatt case supports up to eight outputs in 3 kilowatt increments while the 12 kilowatt case supports up to 4 outputs using the same modules. The iHP system has been designed to meet the needs of a wide variety of medical and industrial applications. Safety approvals secured by Artesyn eliminate the need for an isolation transformer in medical equipment and the multi-output modular structure provides all system power in a single unit. The iHP power system also has industrial safety approvals and meets the SEMI F47 voltage sag tolerance standard for semiconductor processing equipment. A provision for EtherCAT communication is also planned. In horticultural LED lighting, bulk high voltage current sources eliminate the need for individual LED array drivers and reduce installation and operating costs. For chemical processing and water treatment applications, the compact size and multi-rack paralleling of the iHP series can accommodate large installations up into the Megawatt range. The unit’s software interface can be programmed to run sophisticated process flows. Standard modules provide a wide range of bulk power as input to laser drivers. For laboratory equipment, precision modules in development provide low noise and accurate control of voltage and current source with built-in wireless communication to a remote control panel. For electroplating and etching applications, Artesyn is developing modules to provide enhanced programmable rise and fall times coupled with a high-level software interface that can be tailored to exact process requirements. The iHP power system offers developers either an analog or digital interface to their system supporting standard communications protocols, while a software graphical user interface allows for easy configuration.
