2. Description of the UNIVERSAL 32 / 32 R
2.1. Functional structure of the UNIVERSAL 32 / 32 R
These microprocessor-controlled centrifuges are comprised of the following electrical
components:
• Control panel (CP), microprocessor-controlled
• Supply board (SB)
• Frequency converter (FC, motor control), microprocessor-controlled
• Motor with speed sensor (speedometer)
• Braking chopper (BC) with brake resistor (BR)
• Lid locking (LL)
• Cooling board (CB), only UNIVERSAL 32 R
2.2. Control panel (CP)
The CP is the ”brain” or ”master” of the centrifuge.
Via a serial data bus system, the MASTER controls its SLAVE, the component:
− frequency converter (FC)
The individual tasks of the CP are:
• Management of operator inputs and control of LCD display.
• Storage of 3 run programs.
• Control of components:
• FC via the enabling circuit and via the serial interface.
• cooling and fan.
• Evaluation of the speed sensor (speedometer).
• Evaluation of the imbalance switch.
• Evaluation of the FC fault alarm circuit.
• Evaluation of the LL open/closed signalling circuit.
• Control of the relay for the LL solenoid at rotor standstill
• Temperature measurement and sensor evaluation of the temperature sensor in
centrifuge chamber (only refrigerated centrifuge).
• Routine for input, storage and transfer of temperature offset values.
• Format of the serial interface:
− 5 Volt interface with 3 conductors.
− (16-pole control cable, pole 6, 8 and 11).
• The CP is powered from the SB via the control cable:
+ 10...15 Volt pole 1,2
GND pole 15,16
