16-Channel Valve Controller
Computerized controller for pinch and fast solenoid valves. To make a functional system add valves below. Syringe holders and tubing are required. Sample publications: 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 6, 7, 8, 9, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
AUTO Memory
The 16-channel controller can operate in Auto Memory mode, when a set of chosen valves opens automatically at the time the other valves close. This is useful for automatic switching to control solutions after the test solution is OFF.
Digital input
Optically isolated inputs for each channel. BNC connector for TTL inputs and DB-9 connector.
CODE Mode
The controller has an options for valves control by channel encoding using only 2-4 digital inputs, in case if a limited number of digital outputs is available in your system.
Analog Input
You can also use analog signal input to switch the channels by changing the voltage (0.5V increment).
USB/RS232 Input
The RS232 port allows automation of solution switching and integration with imaging systems.
Analog Out
Analog output to switch outflow automatically, or to use as a mark on your recordings ( telegraph output).
INHIBIT Mode
Closes valves regardless of input.
Negative INPUTs
Optional modification to use TTL inputs to close channels in response to the time sequence pulses. Used in certain applications when continuous flow through the channel is required, with short CLOSED periods.
DIMENSIONS
Size: 2.7 x 12 x 9in. Includes 120/220VAC external power supply.
The 16-channel controller is included with every perfusion system. The controller opens valves through manual switches, wireless remote or by TTL signals generated by a computer or other equipment. Other control options include: open valves by analog signal, and through RS232 port (or USB connection). Compatible with data acquisition and imaging systems. Optional software to generate solution switching sequences to automate complex routine protocols is available. Incorporates INHIBIT mode: to CLOSE channels simultaneously, and CODE mode: to operate by limited number of digital INPUT signals. |
With optional RS232UP upgrade up to 32 channels (two controllers) can be operated through a single RS232 port. Up to 10 controllers (RS232UP only) can be connected in a chain to control 320 channels through the same RS232 (or USB) port. Comes with an external 120/220V power supply. Click on image to enlarge.
Combined with valves below, the controller makes a simple perfusion systems.
