A new digital interface upgrade brings intelligent monitoring, programmable control and simplified integration to configurable power modules used in embedded and industrial systems.
Vox Power has expanded its configurable power module portfolio by introducing a PMBus 1.2-compatible digital output module for its NEVO+ series. The new module adds digital control and monitoring capabilities through an I²C interface, enabling embedded system designers to configure, monitor and manage power supplies without altering existing hardware layouts.
The digital output modules are available for the NEVO+600 and NEVO+1200 platforms while maintaining mechanical compatibility with existing output module slots. This enables customers to upgrade to intelligent power management without redesigning their applications, while retaining the familiar modular architecture.
Using the new interface, engineers can monitor key operating parameters including output voltage, current, power, temperature and system status. The modules also allow users to adjust output voltage and current limits, with settings stored in non-volatile memory so they are automatically restored when the system powers up.
The configurable platform supports up to 16 isolated outputs through a range of digital output modules covering multiple voltage and power ratings. Designed for industrial, medical, test and embedded applications, the solution provides greater flexibility for systems requiring multiple regulated power rails with centralised digital management.
To support development, Vox Power is also introducing an open-source Digital Development Kit for the Power Management Bus protocol. The kit provides USB and Wi-Fi connectivity, a browser-based virtual instrument and data logger, and a VISA-compatible SCPI command interpreter, helping engineers evaluate, configure and automate power supply control during development and production.
