The GP485 is a high performance GPIB-to-RS485 interface. It enables a computer with a GPIB port to
communicate with up to 31 Zup power supplies via a single GP485 unit. The GP485 has all the software
and logic required to implement the physical and electrical specifications of the IEEE488 and RS485
standards.
The GP485 can be configured into a GPIB system of up to 14 controllers. Each controller can control up
to 31 Zup units in dual GPIB addresses. One address to configure itself and one to communicate with
the Zup units.
The following parameters can be programmed via the GPIB communication port:
Connections of AC source, GPIB port and RS485 port are made to rear panel connectors.
AC input:
GPIB port:
RS485 port: EIA-568A, shielded connector
Accessories are delivered with the GP485 upon ordering. Below are listed possible accessories and
