Panda-88 input/output logical unit
Panda-88 is logical unit with 8 inputs and 8 outputs, which can be used for recording or controlling logical events by computer in chromatographic system. Unit communicates with PC through USB interface. Power supply of unit is realized from USB and no need another power source. Panda-88 is fully supported by ECOMAC SW. Basic version of ECOMAC SW is part of delivery.
8 unit inputs are realized by 2 Molex connectors and 6 screwless blocks for easy wirings connection. Molex connectors can be used for connection of injection valves with starting contact. This connection is useful for starting/stopping of analysis. Simple pushbutton on input can be used for making marks of events due to analysis.
8 unit outputs are realized by screwless blocks for easy wirings connection. Outputs can be used e.g. for: starting of pump gradient program or for fraction collector control.
Sampling rate up to 1000 S/s allows very fast control and record of events in connected chromatographic system. Noise filtration is settable up to 255 ms.
Full usage of unit and ECOMAC SW allows very sophisticated control/record of logic events in complicated experimental systems (not only chromatographic).
