COTEK Programmable Power (AD Series) is now controllable via Ethernet

We are currently in an era where the growth of automation is booming. For industries that heavily rely on automation, Cotek Programmable Power supplies with Ethernet functionality can offer significant benefits. These industries include electronic manufacturing, the automotive industry, and industrial or warehouse automation sectors, where precise control, monitoring, and automation of power sources are essential requirements.

A programmable power supply with Ethernet functionality can offer several advantages, here are the top three advantages to benefit customer’s installation:

1. Remote Control and Monitoring

Ethernet connectivity allows you to control and monitor the power supply remotely over network. You can adjust voltage, current, and other parameters, as well as monitor measure[1]ments and readings from a central location. This feature is particularly useful when working with multiple power supplies in different locations or when automated testing and monitoring are required.

2. Increased Flexibility and Scalability up to 250 address

With Ethernet support, you can connect multiple power supplies to the network, allowing easier management and control of a larger number of devices. This scalability is beneficial in scenarios where you need to control and synchronize power supplies across different test setups or laboratories.

3. Integration with Automation Systems

Programmable power supplies with Ethernet functionality can be easily integrated into automa[1]tion systems and test setups. You can use standard network protocols such as ARP, Device Search Utility (DSU), DHCP Client, IPv4, SNMP, TCP, UDP, ICMP to communicate with the power supply, making it compatible with various automation platforms and software tools.

Overall, the Ethernet functionality in programmable power supplies provides improved control, monitoring, scalability, and integration, making them highly versatile and suitable for various applications in the environments that requires automation.

One of the coolest features of COTEK AD-1500 series is the interchangeable interface feature. This allows users to connect and control the power supply remotely from any computer on the network or via different types of communications including Cotek standard UART protocol, MODBUS, PMBus, etc. remotely from PC/laptop.
