Reverse Engineering of a Dual Redundant Switching Power Supply Client project requirements The legacy power supply utilized on a customer’s programmable controller was obsolete and needed to be replaced. Due to the fact that the system had been classified as a single-point-vulnerability, the replacement power supply required dual redundancy capabilities. No commercial off-the-shelf unit could be sourced so a reverse engineered solution was required. Scope of work The project required Kinectrics to design and qualify a replacement power supply compatible with the existing boards in the programmable controller, meet the legacy functionality and performance, as well as incorporating the added dual redundancy capability and ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC) immunity and susceptibility.
