CONNECTION
OF CONTROL UNIT
The control unit is an
IBM
-compatible personal
computer. It can be permanently connected to the
chromatograph, or it can be transported from
chromatograph to chromatograph and only con-
nected for a short time. In addition, more than one
chromatographs can be operated using one control
unit if they are in a network.
Every chromatograph has four serial interfaces on the
PCPU-2 via which all chromatograph parameters can
be accessed:
SER. 1
SER. 2
SER. 3
SER. 4
TTY or RS232
TTY or RS232
RS485 or RS232
RS485 or RS232
With
PGC 302
SER. 1 is connected as a TTY inter-
face, SER. 3 and SER. 4 are connected as RS485
interfaces to the terminal board for fixed wiring.
With
RGC 202
SER. 2 is connected as a RS232 in-
terface to the front of the chromatograph, SER. 3
and SER. 4 are connected as RS485 interfaces to
the terminal board for fixed wiring.
Local connection of control unit
using prepared RS 232 cable
Connect the plug PCPU to the socket V.2 4 at the front
of the chromatograph (RGC 202) or to the socket
SER.2 at the PCPU respectively (PGC 302). Connect
the other end to the socket com1: of the control unit.
NOTE:
The cable is included in the delivery if you have ordered the
control unit from us together with the chromatograph.
WARNING: Explosion protection
You require permission if you wish to
transport a laptop through the potentially
hazardous atmosphere or if you wish to
open a chromatograph in a division 1 area.
Permanent

The pin assignments of the RS232 interface are de-
scribed in your control unit manual. Connect the cable
