PowerLine Controller Features 9
1.3 PowerLine Controller Features
PowerLine Controller Description
Use the PowerLine Controller configuration when you want to control other devices from
the 600E system over the IEEE-488 bus.
The PowerLine Controller is the default configuration for the Waters 600 controller. You
can also configure the controller as a Gradient Controller (see Section 1.4, Gradient
Controller Features). PowerLine configuration includes programming methods, external
device control, and an RS-232 interface.
The PowerLine Controller:
• Provides automatic setup and control of all gradient, injection (manual and
automatic), event, and detection parameters directly from the 600 controller keypad.
• Creates multi-method programs that link time-based control tables. Each time-based
table comprises a gradient table, an event table, and a detector table.
• Interfaces with and control Waters PowerLine injectors and detectors over the
IEEE-488 bus.
Using Dissolution Control
The Waters 600E system can control dissolution testing with the following optional
components:
• Waters 712D WISP Multiport Sample Processor
• Dissolution bath
• Hanson Transfer Controller (including volumetric manifold and transfer/air vacuum
source)
For information on using the Waters 600E dissolution control, see the Waters Dissolution
System Operator’s Manual.
1.4 Gradient Controller Features
The 600 Gradient Controller allows you to:
• Program isocratic and gradient methods. For gradient methods, you can run
concave, convex, and linear composition profiles with up to four eluents.
