512/17708/011 Fluid Control PCB
The Fluid Control PCB has the controls for the two pumps, three valves, magnetic stirrer and
the mixer RTD. This PCB has the following features:
• There are two servo control 12-bit DACs and circuitry to control the pump speeds.
• There are three identical valve control circuits on the PCB. The valves have a relay for
directional control and R/C network to provide the initial surge current to move a valve
with a resistor to provide the holding current.
• Board ID EEPROM with I
2
C interface, this EEPROM is used to hold the board
identification and configuration information.
• Surface mount design, except for thru-hole connectors, and specialized components.
512/17709/011 Fluid Interconnect PCB
The Fluid Interconnect PCB is a cable interconnect board providing a single, convenient and
reliable connection point for the electric assemblies in the Fluid Control module. It provides a
direct slide-in connection to the stirrer module. The mixing chamber connector interfaces to
the new Mixer ID signals. This PCB is mounted inside the 5120 near the mixing chamber.
