• Controlled via RS232 (ASCII) – Use when a non-Waters data system
controls the separations module via RS-232 communications and using
ASCII control, as specified by the data system.
• Controlled via RS232 (binary) – Use when a non-Waters data system
controls the separations module by RS-232 communications and using
binary control, as specified by the data system.
No Interaction mode
In this standalone mode, the separations module is not connected to the
IEEE-488 or Ethernet interface bus. The separations module can trigger other
non-IEEE devices in the system via I/O connections on the rear panel. See “I/O
signal connections” on page 71 for the procedure to make I/O connections.
Use the No Interaction mode when you want to suspend communications with
a connected remote data system, such as an Empower system, and operate the
separations module and the other system components from their front panels.
To set the separations module to the No Interaction mode:
1. Select the System field in the Configuration screen, and then press
Enter.
2. From the list of operating modes, select No Interaction, press Enter, and
then press Exit.
System Controller mode
In this standalone mode, the separations module controls up to three detector
channels on the IEEE-488 bus. These can include two UV detector channels
(Waters 2487 and/or 486 Tunable Absorbance Detectors) and one RI detector
channel (Waters 2414, 2410, or 410 Differential Refractometer). See “Digital
signal connections” on page 75 for information on IEEE-488 connections. You
can also trigger other system modules via I/O connections. See “I/O signal
connections” on page 71 for the information on I/O connections.
To set the separations module to the System Controller mode:
1. Select the System field in the Configuration screen, and then press
Enter.
2. From the list of operating modes, select System Controller, and then
press Enter.
