TEKPower TP3005P Power Supply

Hello Everyone,

 

I am an Engineer and we need multiple Power Supply power a separate ECU to be controlled by 1 PC. Is this possible?
I am working with TEKPower TP3005P Power Supply. I have been able to run a sequence for 1 power supply but I am not sure how to connect multiple ones.

Control multiple power supply by 1 PC - yes, definitely possible

 

TEKPower TP3005P looks like a hobby-grade power supply, and I don't see any comm., port to control use.

It only has 1 USB-B Type Female port which produces one comm port option in the software.

Just wanted to give it a shot if that was possible some how to control maybe multiple comm ports with 1 PC but I don't think it is possible

 

and is it possible to use M1 M2 M3 memory button on these power supply to provide them voltage sequence for test?

 

Attaching manual for ref.

As these are USB controlled supplies, they can be controlled through a single PC using multiple USB ports.  If this is setup to increase the voltage (series connection), it should not be an issue.  However, there might be an issue if these are running in parallel to increase the current as only one supply will activate/change at a time (albeit a slight lag between supplies if programmed carefully).
