3.5.1 Overview of the I/O-box
Function of the I/O-box
The I/O-box E9 is used to interface other equipment in order to measure parameters such as refractive
index, light scattering and fluorescence. See Requirements on connected equipment, on page 119 for
information on requirements of the equipment that can be connected to ÄKTA pure. The I/O-box can
control external equipment by a digital output signal, as well as detecting the state of them by digital
inputs. It is also possible to send out internal detector signals to external equipment.
Using two I/O-boxes
It is possible to install up to two I/O-boxes when using ÄKTA pure. If two I/O-boxes are to be used, the
second I/O-box has to be configured as I/O-box E9, 2nd. The configuration is defined by the Node ID
of the I/O-box. The Node ID is set by positioning the arrow of two rotating switches at the back of the
I/O-box, see Connectors, on page 114 and Section 9.16 Node IDs, on page 503.
