The OP8120 Modular System Conditioning Chassis (MSCC) is a high power pre- and post-conditioning chassis (amplifier) for OPAL-RT standard analog and digital I/O boards. It is designed to be used with simulators to make high power conditioning and cabling easier to maintain.
The chassis is designed according to module power consumption rather than for a fixed number of channels. Each chassis can accommodate multiple modules for maximum consumption of 500W. The chassis is nonetheless limited to a maximum of 32 channels per chassis at the lowest power rating per channel.
The following OP8120 modules are currently available:
Module | Description | Number of channels |
---|---|---|
OP8121 | Current source, up to 5A RMS / 1V RMS | 2 |
OP8122 | Current source, up to 2A RMS / 1V RMS | 4 |
OP8123 | Current source, up to 1A RMS / 16V RMS | 4 |
OP8124 | High voltage output, up to 150V RMS / 1mA RMS | 4 |
OP8125 | Voltage amplifier, 150V RMS / 30mA RMS | 4 |
The OP8120 is a 3U rackmount unit. It comes in three versions, which can accommodate a different mix of OP8120 modules:
- OP8120-A: supports OP8121 and OP8122 modules
- OP8120-B: supports OP8123, OP8124, and OP8125 modules
- OP8120-1: supports OP8121, OP8122, OP8123, OP8124, and OP8125 modules
