SEREN IPS MC2

USED SEREN IPS Industrial Power Systems MC2 RF Automatic Matching Network Controller

The MC2 matching network controller powers and controls the operation of the Seren IPS Inc. AT-Series automatic impedance matching networks, provides operatoraccessible controls, a visual display of matching network status, and a control interface to the user’s processing system. Other MC2 features are listed below:

• ½ rack 2U high package
  
• 110VAC or 220VAC AC mains, field selectable
  
• Bright, easy to read 4 line vacuum fluorescent display, capable of displaying matching network status, RF power supply status, RF or DC probe voltage, phase and magnitude error signals
  
• Front panel controls for capacitor positioning, mode selection, and programming
  
• Scaleable forward and reflected power metering (requires interface connection to RF power supply)
  
• Scalable RF and DC probe display
  
• Programmable capacitor position presets
  
• Programmable capacitor position limits
  
• Remote controlled via analog system interface connector
  
• Matching network capacitors can be manually positioned from front panel controls while unit is in “Automatic” mode
  
• Loop-through control connectors for the RF power supply – simplifies connection of RF and DC probes, provides forward power, reflected power, and power setpoint monitoring
  
• Adjustable error amplifier gain
  
• Rear panel phase and magnitude error signal test points
  
• Limit condition backout: The MC2 controller reverses the matching network’s motors for a brief interval when a minimum or maximum position limit condition has been reached, allowing the matching network to re-tune, thus minimizing “stuck” network conditions. The limit condition feature can be enabled/disabled from the front panel.
