34 3.8 Connecting MSB devices 3.8 Connecting MSB devices In order to connect MSB devices, e.g.stirrers or dosing devices, Metrohm instruments are equipped with up a maximum of four connectors at what is referred to as the Metrohm Serial Bus (MSB). Various kinds of peripheral devices can be connected in sequence (in series, as a "daisy chain") at a single MSB connector (8-pin Mini DIN socket) and controlled simultaneously by the respective control instrument. In addition to the connection cable, stirrers and the remote box are each equipped with their own MSB socket for this purpose. The following illustration provides an overview of the devices that can be connected to an MSB socket, along with a number of different cabling variations. The question of which peripheral devices are supported depends on the control instrument. Note When connecting MSB devices together, the following must be observed: Only one device of the same type can be used at a single MSB connector at one time. Type 700 Dosino and 685 Dosimat dosing devices cannot be connected together with other MSB instruments on a shared connector. These dosing devices must be connected separately. Caution Exit the control software before you plug MSB instruments in. The control instrument recognizes when it is switched on which instrument is connected at which MSB connector. The operating unit or the control software enters the connected MSB devices into the system configuration (Device manager). MSB connections can be extended with the cable. The length of the connection must not exceed a maximum of 15 m USB Sample Processor

37 3 Installation Connecting a remote box Instruments that are controlled via remote lines and/or which send control signals via remote lines can be connected using the remote box. In addition to Metrohm, other instrument manufacturers also use similar connectors that make it possible to connect different instruments together. These interfaces are also frequently given the designations "TTL Logic", "I/O Control" or "Relay Control" and generally have a signal level of 5 volts. Control signals are understood to be electrical line statuses or brief (> 200 ms) electrical pulses which display the operational state of an instrument or which trigger or report an event. Sequences on a variety of instruments can thus be coordinated in a single complex automation system. No exchange of data is possible, however. Proceed as follows: 1 Connect a remote box Exit the control software. Connect the remote box connection cable to one of the sockets marked with MSB on the rear of the control instrument. Start the control software. USB 1 Contr. MSB 2 MSB 3 Figure 22 Connecting a remote box You can, for example, connect an 849 Level Control Box (fill level monitor in a waste canister) or a 731 Relay Box (switch box for 230/110 volt alternating current sockets and low-voltage direct current outlets). The remote box also has an MSB socket at which a further MSB instrument, e.g. a dosing device or a stirrer, can be connected. You will find precise information concerning the pin assignment of the interface on the remote box in the appendix (see Chapter 6.3, page 37). 814 USB Sample Processor 29

38 3.9 Connecting USB devices 3.9 Connecting USB devices Two USB connectors (Type A sockets) are available for connecting devices with USB interfaces. The 814 USB Sample Processor functions then as a USB hub (distributor). If you wish to connect more than two USB devices, you can also use an additional commercially available USB hub. Note When a USB device is connected, the control instrument recognizes which device is connected. The control software automatically enters a connected USB device into the system configuration (Device manager) Connecting a barcode reader A barcode reader is used as an input aid for entering text and numbers.

44 6.1 Beaker sensor 6 Appendix 6.1 Beaker sensor Every tower of a Sample Processor is equipped with a beaker sensor detecting the availability of a sample vessel in front of the tower. An infrared sensor identifies devices of various materials if they are located in a correct position in the front of the tower. In the rack configuration of the control device or the control software, the setting 'Beaker sensor' Tower must be selected. The beaker test is carried out whenever a rack position is moved to in a method run. Figure Rinsing nozzles Beaker sensor on the tower The beaker sensor on the tower can only be used with single-row sample racks. Using rinsing nozzles is very effective in order to rinse sample vessels (with sensors and buret tips) efficiently. Rinsing nozzles are available in two model versions: spray nozzle For the fine-spraying of the rinsing solution. The nozzle has a small ball at the opening. The distribution (but also the backpressure) of the rinsing liquid is clearly higher than the one of a rinsing nozzle rinsing nozzle The rinsing liquid is applied as a fine jet for optimal removal of layers on electrodes and on titration accessories USB Sample Processor
