PC interface
The centrifuge series 58XX can be equipped with a standard serial interface RS232C and with an
Eppendorf specific interface (BBUS).
For this it is necessary to retrofit the module "IFACE" on the control PCB and to retrofit the 9-pole cable
in the device with SUB_D connector (9-pole). Then it is possible to communicate directly with the
centrifuge via a PC.
A special PC program is also required.
X15 is the plug connection and X8 the plug for the SUB_D cable.
The selection of the interface type is done by PORT 3.5.
– PORT 3.5 (SELECT) means "HIGH" ➞ RS232C active
– PORT 3.5 (SELECT) means "LOW" ➞ BBUS active
Pin assignment on the interface cable:
