Development of An Interface of Ac/Dc Power Supplies For Industrial

Abstract
An Intelligent
Power Supply (IPS) can operate on either AC or DC input power. If AC power is
available, the system always uses AC power. The power supplies use AC power
first and then switch to DC power automatically if AC power fails or is not
present. When the AC power returns alive, the DC power source will convert to
AC again. Such an IPS will consume less energy and be more cost effective in
the industry. The development of an IPS needs a new version of the firmware for
a universal interface of SAP (Systems, Applications, and Products) in data
processing. The new version needs to provide a programming interface between an
IPS and the computer. In this paper, the programming interface, iPort/AFM, is
used to connect I2C host adapter with ASCII Fast Mode control. The iPort/AFM
works with Windows or non-Windows based host computers. It supports both
standard (100Kbps) and fast (400Kbps) Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) bus speeds
with the I2C Interrupt signal. Controlled with a simple ASCII command interface,
this adapter supports RS-232 with baud rates up to 115.2K/sec. It includes a
high performance processor for improved throughput with low overhead. Moreover,
the proposed interface can be used in DOS, UNIX, SGI, Windows, and Linux. The
end product in industrial applications includes an adapter unit, software,
cables, and a global power supply
