Safety
Warning!

Heed and adhere to following requirements to ensure safety of the user:


• This product generates high potential as a test stimulus when programmed to do so.
• To avoid the risk of shock, which can lead to injury or death, do not attempt to service the system
beyond what is detailed in this manual. If unsure of anything, contact Nexeya’s Technical Support.
• To avoid the risk of shock or personal injury, do not remove the product covers while the unit is
operating or connected to line power.
• Use only a power cord rated greater than the input current rating of the external power supplies.
• Use only a power cord in good condition.
• If liquid is spilled on the unit, shut it off immediately and disconnect it from line power.
• Ensure the unit is properly grounded.
• Do not touch any exposed wiring or the MPT unit while the High Voltage lamp is illuminated.
• For additional safety, it is recommended to use an approved EPO switch during High Voltage
testing.

Built-In Safety

The MPT Series Tester has built-in safety systems.

Mechanical Door Switch:


The main power is wired through a mechanical switch on the rear door of the MPT unit (MPT1000 and
1000T only). If rear door is open, the system automatically powers off.

Interlocks:
The High Voltage is wired through two interlock mechanisms:
• Magnetic door switch (prevents HV from being applied while rear door is open).
• EPO. Connected via the interlock connector at the rear of the unit.

Software Safety:
MPT Engine defaults to providing a warning message before high voltage is applied. High voltage will
only be initiated once the user presses “Ok” to continue.

Warning!

The MPT Engine software safety feature can be overridden and disabled by the user. Nexeya does not
accept responsibility for any harm incurred as a result.

Lifting or Carrying

Warning!

The MPT5000L and MPT5000 requires a minimum of two people to lift. Do not attempt to lift or carry
these machines without assistance.

The MPT1000, MPT1000T and MPT1000XD series cabinets require machine assistance for lifting or
carrying. Use of a fork lift or pallet truck is strongly recommended.

Site Requirements
The installation site must provide a properly wired and grounded power outlet. Circuits connected
to air conditioners and devices that generate significant transient electrical noise should be
avoided.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) should be minimized by avoiding high resistant floor material and
carpeting that does not have anti-static properties. The unit should be located away from areas
that generate electromagnetic interference (for example, transformers, power distribution panels,
and motors). The MPT system should not be installed where the atmosphere contains corrosive
elements that may damage the unit.

The MPT 5000L or MPT5000 should be installed on a flat sturdy surface at a comfortable height for
operators to work at. Or, in the case of the 5000L, should it be installed in a 19” rack, ensure the rack
allows for proper ventilation.

The MPT1000, MPT1000T or MPT1000TXD should be installed with enough physical space for an
individual to move to the rear of the unit and be able to to fully open the cabinet door (~30”).

Connecting the MPT to the Personal Computer


Using the Ethernet port, connect the PC that has the MPT software installation to the front of the MPT
system.

All MPT’s, when shipped, come with an Ethernet cable. If it is missing, any shielded cable will do. Any IT
department will have one.

Connecting the Remote Switching Units


If the MPT system was shipped with Remote Switching Units (RSUs), then they will need to be
connected using the supplied umbilical cables.

RSUs are either AC or DC units. They come in different package types: suitcases or cabinets.
• AC units can be one of three different package types:
o Suitcase
o 5000 cabinet
o 1000 cabinet
• DC units only have one package type:
o Suitcase

It is possible that the MPT system may have been shipped with a custom switching configuration.
Refer to the supplied documentation or contact Nexeya’s technical support to find out the
configuration of the system. Have the serial number ready to provide the support staff, if
necessary.

AC Remote Switching Units need to be powered individually via line power. These units can be
daisy chained up to a maximum of ten times.

DC Remote Switching Units are powered via the supplied umbilical cables. These units can be
daisy chained up to six times.

RSUs are numbered in a specific order. Ensure they are connected chronologically.

Make sure to terminate the last RSU in the chain with the supplied termination connector.

MPT User’s Manual

Connecting Accessories

2.6.1 Ground Probe


The MPT Ground Probe is connected to the Ground Jack or the Common Jack (for floating systems). The
Ground Jack is the white or black banana jack located at the front of the MPT System on the HI-COM
card. The Common Jack is the banana jack located on the rear of the MPT system.

2.6.2 I/O Connector and EPO


All MPT Series Testers are supplied with a “DB25 Interlock.” If an EPO or external I/O device is not
required, then insert the DB25 Interlock into the connector labelled, “Interlock & I/O”, on the rear of the
MPT system.

Refer to Appendix D for more information about EPOs and I/O Connections.

MPT Systems MUST have either an EPO or the supplied DB25 Interlock in order to perform high
voltage tests.

2.6.3 Supported 3rd Party External devices


If the purchased system is a MPT1000/T/XD, then the supported 3rd party devices are installed internally
and are already connected and preconfigured.

If the purchased system is a MPT5000/L, then the supported 3rd party devices need to be connected to
the unit. Only connecting the external device(s) is necessary, they are already preconfigured to work with
the MPT.

Configuring the MPT Engine Environment to


Communicate with the MPT Series Tester

3.4.1 IT Security Requirements


The MPT Engine Environment utilizes TCP/IP communication and Web Sockets to communicate
with the hardware and to provide access to the browser based Operator Environment.

The MPT Engine application must be allowed as a trusted


application in the Windows firewall.

MPT Engine uses the following ports and they may need to
be unblocked:
80: Webpage port used by the Operator Environment.
8080: Web sockets
50001: MPT Studio communication with MPT Engine
50002: MPT Engine communication with MPT Series Tester

Figure 100 - MPT Engine Firewall Authorization

3.4.2 Configuration of MPT Engine


3.4.2.1 Introduction: Overview of MPT Engine

MPT Engine is the core of the MPT Software environment. It is the backbone of communication between
all MPT Systems on the network. Along with communication, it also performs the following functions:
• Manages the WCI Database
• Manages the Adapter Database
• Manages the Switching Database
• Manages the Product Database
• Environment Configuration
• User Management and Permissions
• Libraries
• Web service for Operator's Environment Browser Interface
• Hardware Drivers
• Nexeya & Custom Extensions

Page 24 of 63
MPT User’s Manual

3.4.2.2 Introduction: Topology of MPT Studio Environment

MPT Engine's design is based on the Server-Client Architecture Model. In this model, MPT Engine is
functioning as a server listening for connections from one or more clients. Clients could be either a MPT
System, MPT Studio IDE, or the Operator's Environment.

MPT Engine, just like any server, will interpret and handle the client requests as needed.

The following diagram illustrates the typical Server-Client setup:

Figure 21 - MPT Engine Architecture

Page 25 of 63
MPT User’s Manual

3.4.2.3 Configuration of MPT Engine

Important: MPT Engine is the key component of the entire MPT Studio Environment. It is essential
that this is configured correctly. If unsure about how to proceed, consult a Nexeya Technician or
Applications Specialist for more help.

If a computer was purchased separately from the main MPT System it will need to be configured for use.
The first step is configuring MPT Engine.

To access MPT Engine configuration, do the following:


• Make sure the MPT Engine application has been launched and it is running.
If the MPT Engine window is not visible, right click on the MPT Engine icon in the system tray and
click on “Show / Hide”

To access the MPT Engine Configuration:


• Select the “Tools” menu
• Select “Configuration” from the drop-down menu.

Figure 112 - MPT Engine Main Screen

If the MPT System was pre-configured by Nexeya prior to


shipping (i.e. a PC was purchased with the MPT System),
the configuration will appear in the “MPT Connections” tab.

Figure 123 - MPT Connections Tab

Page 26 of 63
MPT User’s Manual

To add a connection, there are two methods. The first is to


right-click within the left panel of the “MPT Connections”
tab and select “Add New Connection.” Enter the following
details manually:

Name: Unique name for the MPT system. No two units


can have the same identifier.

TCP/IP: IP address of the MPT System to communicate


with. By default, a typical installation will have an IP
address of 10.0.0.1.

Port: Port used by the MPT Engine to communicate with


the MPT system. Default port is 50002.

Figure 2413 - MPT Connections Tab - Empty

The second method is to automatically detect the MPT


system:
• Click on the “MPT Broadcast” tab.
• Click on the “Search” button. If a system is found, it
will appear in the right pane.
• Right-click on the found system and select “Add to
MPT Connection List.”

Figure 145 - MPT Broadcast

The newly added MPT system should appear in the “MPT


Connections” tab. MPT Engine is now fully configured.

Figure 156 - MPT Connections List

Page 27 of 63
MPT User’s Manual

If necessary, permissions and user access can be setup.

Permissions allows the MPT Administrator to control the


entire MPT Environment (this means Studio, Engine and
the Operator’s Interface).

By enabling permissions, the MPT Administrator can


create password protected user accounts with certain
attributes; conceptually similar to a Windows system. This
is optional.

User account names cannot contain white space or special


characters. The MPT Administrator account should be
created first to avoid any issues, should have all
permissions granted, and be password protected.
Figure 167 - MPT Permissions
The following are a list of permissions and what they do:
Modify MPT Engine: The user can modify MPT Engine settings.

PUT Configuration: The user can modify the PUT Configuration options in MPT Engine.
Combine this permission with the "Modify MPT Engine" permission, and the user will have access to all
features of MPT Engine.

Calibration Verification and
System Validation

Page 33 of 63
MPT User’s Manual

Introduction
Once the MPT system is installed and configured properly it is recommended to perform a system
verification to ensure proper operation.

There are two methods for verify the system’s functionality:


1. Switching System Selftest (Validates the electromechanical relays on the Switch Cards).
2. Instrument Verification (Validates the measurement devices and sources within the MPT system).

4.1.1 System Initialization

The MPT system initializing correctly is the first step to verifying system operation. The initialization
sequence performs detailed self-diagnostics on the communication, power, and switching and
measurement components of the MPT.

Initialization should never fail on a fully operational system.

Initialization is performed after MPT Engine is first run. It can be re-run any time by selecting “Reconnect
Lcom” from the status tab of the MPT Engine interface or by right-clicking on the system tray icon and
selecting “Reconnect.”

Figure 172 - Reconnect System

Figure 31 - MPT Engine

Page 34 of 63
MPT User’s Manual

4.1.2 Switching Selftest


The MPT Switching system is designed so that each test point can be connected to either a TEST (I+) or
COM (I-) bus. If a single test point is connected to TEST and COM simultaneously, the relays for that
point could be validated; and that the loop back resistance through this point is within the expected range.

The test described above is known as the “Switching SelfTest.” It goes through all test points in the system
and validates them against the TEST and COM points of the MAIN and Auxiliary buses.

To run the Switching Selftest, login to the Operator Interface. Then click on the center icon to access the
Main Operator Screen:

Figure 183 – Launch HMI Operator Screen

Page 35 of 63
MPT User’s Manual

Choose Run Switching SelfTest.

Figure 194 – HMI Operator Screen

The Switching SelfTest main screen provides specific options for validating the Switch Cards:

Figure 205 – HMI Switching Selftest Main Screen

Page 36 of 63
MPT User’s Manual

Figure 38 (above) represents the Switching Selftest Main Screen. From here, the following options are
provided:
• Full System: Performs a Selftest on every card in the system, regardless of the card selected in the
Card List.
• Card List: If “Full System” is disabled, Selftest will be performed only on the selected card in this
list.
• Start: Initiates the Selftest, based on the criteria specified in Card List and Full System.

For systems with configured Auxiliary bus instruments (e.g. Keithley SMU, Sorensen DLM) the Auxiliary
bus will be automatically validated when applicable.

Figure 216 – HMI Switching Selftest – Test in Progress

Figure 39 demonstrates a SelfTest in progress. At any point in time, the Abort button can be pressed to
stop/cancel execution. The green progress bar shows how much of the test has been completed.

4.1.2.1 Switching SelfTest Results

After a SelfTest has completed, the results are automatically saved to a PDF in a sub-folder called “self-
test,” which is located in a folder as defined per the MPT Engine Settings (Refer to Section 3.4.2.3).

Page 37 of 63
MPT User’s Manual

4.1.3 Instrument Verification


Instrument Verification is a means to verify the measurement system of the MPT is still within
specification.

Frequency of Instrument Verification is dependent on the environment the MPT is operating within.
Nexeya recommends verifying the system at least once every six months.

4.1.3.1 What is verified?

Instrument Verification verifies the performance of each source installed in the MPT system. The possible
sources are: MSR, LCR, HVDC, SMU, DLM, ACS, DMM, THS, and DVM.

4.1.3.2 Instrument Verification Required Tools

To perform Instrument Verification, the following tools are required:


• MPT Instrument Verification Tool, also called the IVT Tool.
o Can be purchased from Nexeya.
o All components within the IVT Tool are tuned using NIST Traceable Equipment.
• Verification Cable for installed Switch Cards.
o Can be purchased from Nexeya.
• Digital Multieter (3½ digits).

4.1.3.3 How does Instrument Verification Work?

Instrument Verification functions by performing measurements of components in the IVT Tool. The results
are validated against the nominal values and expected tolerances. If the values for the source(s) against
the various components are within acceptable ranges, then validation will pass.

Figure 227 – Instrument Verification Tool (MUX-150/200 Cable shown)

Page 38 of 63
MPT User’s Manual

4.1.3.4 What to do if Instrument Verification fails?

If the Instrument Verification fails, try the following:


• Check that the Verification Cable is inserted firmly into the Switch Card and the IVT Tool.
Ensure Tare (discussed further in Section 4.1.4.3) was done before running Instrument
Verification.

If problems persist, contact Nexeya’s Technical Support Team.

4.1.4 Performing Instrument Verification


4.1.4.1 Loading the Instrument Verification Test Program

All MPT Studio installations come preinstalled with the Instrument Verification Test Program. To load it:
1. Login to the Operator Interface.
2. Select “Load & Run New Test Program.”
3. Select “tools” sub-folder.
4. Select “MPT Instrument Verification” sub-folder.
5. Select “MPT Instrument Verification” or “MPT2 Instrument Verification” depending on the model of
MPT System that is being tested.

The program will take a couple seconds to load:

Figure 38 – MPT Instrument Verification Loading Screen

Once the program has loaded, the main screen will be displayed.

4.1.4.2 Instrument Verification Test Setup

Figure 40 – MPT Instrument Verification Test Setup


The Test Setup screen provides the following configuration options:
• Auto detection: Enables or disables auto detection of IVT Tool.
o Needs to be disabled for Taring.
o Needs to be enabled to perform the Instrument Verification process.
o Auto detection is enabled by default. It continuously searches all Switch Cards for the IVT
Tool. Ensure the Verification Cable is connected to the IVT Tool and then attach it to the
first connector on any Switch Card. Auto detection will stop once it has determined the
location of the IVT Tool and display the details accordingly.
• Instruments: Automatically detects and displays all measurement sources in the MPT system.
Allows the operator to choose which devices to perform Instrument Verification on.

Page 40 of 63
MPT User’s Manual

o For the Instrument Verification process to be valid, all sources must be selected,
otherwise the MPT Studio software will not register the Verification as a successful
system calibration. As a result, it will continue to provide a warning message until
calibration is completed with all instruments.
• Tare: Perform tare on the Verification Cable. Refer to Section 4.1.4.3.

4.1.4.3 Taring the Verification Cable

Prior to running the Instrument Verification test program, the Verification Cable (Refer to Section 4.1.3.2)
needs to be “Tared.”

4.1.4.3.1 Why Tare?

The Verification Cable has its own base capacitance. This value needs to be eliminated from the final
capacitance measurements performed on the IVT Tool. Taring measures the capacitance value of the
Verification Cable and subtracts that value from each capacitive measurement performed during the
verification process.

4.1.4.3.2 How to Tare?

From the MPT Instrument Verification main screen, select “Test Setup.”

Follow the on-screen instructions.

4.1.4.4 Verifying the MPT System

Once “Test Setup” is complete, press the “Start” button on the Instrument Verification main screen to
begin the calibration process. Follow the on-screen instructions.

The procedure takes approximately 5-10 minutes.

4.1.4.5 Results

At the end of the test, the results can be viewed by either selecting “View Test Report” or “View Test
Results.” The results can also be sent to the default printer by selecting “Print Full Report” or “Print Failures
Only.”

To save the results in a PDF format:


• Select the “View Test Report” button.
• Click on the following icon:

• Choose where to save the report.

If “Results To File” is enabled in MPT Engine Settings, then a copy of the Instrument Verification results
will automatically be saved, in a PDF format, to the default “Test Results” location (also defined in MPT
Engine Settings).

The MPT is equipped with either a MPT-IO6 (default) or MPT-IO12 (optional) module.

Each MPT has a DB25 connector at the rear of the unit labelled “MPT Interlock & I/O.” If the optional
MPT-IO12 module is installed, there will be two DB25 connectors at the rear of the unit. The Interlock &
I/O connector can be used to interact with external systems like PLCs or other interfaces like EPOs.

Every MPT system comes supplied with a MPT Interlock & I/O Connector. Pins 15 and 16 are shorted
together to complete the interlock circuit; and, pins 17, 18 and 19 are wired to a banana jack on the
exterior of the connector.

To perform high voltage testing, pins 15 and 16 must be shorted together. Any customer designed EPO
must be wired to these pins.

Every MPT-IO6 and MPT-IO12 comes equipped with an Input Crydom module in position CR0. A switch
or PLC input to this position allows for automated or switch started testing of MPT Test programs (refer to
the diagram below for sample wiring).

Additionally, there are four built-in output signals on the MPT-IO boards: Ready, Pass, Fail, and High

There are five additional I/O positions available on a MPT-5000 and MPT-5000L; and, four additional
I/O’s available on a MPT-1000 and MPT-1000T. MPT-1000 and MPT-1000T systems utilize CR4 for a
required rear door safety interlock.

When a MPT is equipped with a MPT-IO12 module, there are eleven (11) additional I/O’s for MPT-
5000(L) systems and ten additional I/O’s for MPT-1000(T) systems.

Depending on whether an Input or Output Crydom module is installed, you can configure CR1 to CR5 for
respective usage.
