Abstract

This paper describes a high current magnet power supply control through a Programmable System on Chip (PSoC) based embedded design and its menu driven control program written in Virtual instrument program. This design supports a wider dynamic range of current from 0 to 120 amperes in steps of 0.1 amps to the magnet power supply. It also has the fine tuning facility of current in the range of 0.01 amps to the magnet. In the existing BRUKER make B-CN-120 model power supply a programmable port has been implemented through which the PSoC embedded design interact via PCs USB port configured through Lab VIEW program resides in the PC. The successful PSoC design implementation simplifies the automation of BRUKER Magnet power supply.
