CBM-20A/20Alite
1.1 Overview
The CBM-20A/CBM-20Alite is a system controller that connects to and controls the
components in Shimadzu's LC-30A/20A/10Avp/10A-series High-performance Liquid
Chromatograph. It can be used for a number of different purposes, from centralized control to
fully automated operation of liquid chromatography systems with various component
configurations.
1.1.1 Features
• This system controller is equipped with networking capability as a standard feature. By
using the Web-server function, it is possible to set analysis conditions, execute analysis,
and monitor the system from a PC. It is also possible to process the data at the
Chromatopac by linking the system controller to a Chromatopac.
• Connecting to a Shimadzu data-processing workstation allows the user to set analysis
conditions, execute analysis, monitor the system and process the data all from a remote
PC.
• The special optical-link interface enables the connection and control of the LC-30A/20A/
10Avp/10A-series Solvent Delivery Module (Pump), Autosampler, Column Oven, Detector,
and Fraction Collector. It is also possible to connect and control the SPD-M20A/M30A
Photodiode Array Detector from the system controller as a 4-wavelength detector via the
network.
