Making IEEE-488 Interface Connections 33
3.3 Making IEEE-488 Interface Connections
This section covers the different types of IEEE-488 interface connections you can make
with the 600 controller. It includes:
• Making IEEE-488 connections with data systems
• Making IEEE-488 connections with external PowerLine devices
• Setting IEEE-488 addresses
• Performing the IEEE-488 powerup sequence
3.3.1 Making IEEE-488 Connections with Data Systems
When controlling the 600E system from a Waters data system (Empower or Millennium
Chromatography Manager), use the IEEE-488 interface to receive information from the
data system. Set up the 600 controller as a Gradient Controller. The data system operates
as the system controller on the IEEE-488 interface.
Note: To set the 600 controller as a Gradient Controller, refer to the Waters 600E
Multisolvent Delivery System User’s Guide, Section 8.1, Setting Up the 600 as a Gradient
Controller.
1. Connect the single receptacle end of the IEEE-488 cable (supplied with either the
600E system or the Waters data system) to your data system and attach the cable to
the busLAC/E (Laboratory Acquisition and Control/Environment) card
(Figure 3-3).
