Software »mzr-pump control«
Install the delivered software »mzr-pump control« from both diskettes or CDs by
starting the program »Setup« on the diskette »Disk 1« or CD. The delivered
software is compatible with Windows 95
®
, Windows 98
®
, Windows NT,
Windows 2000
®
and Windows XP
®
.
The program enables to coordinate metering or continuous delivery tasks.
The operating parameters of the micro annular gear pump are set with the
included user interface.
If the diskettes »mzr-pump control« are not available because you have received
for example the »Motion Manager« software instead, you may download this
software from the web site www.hnp-mikrosysteme.de/ downloads.htm. The
updated version is always available in English and German.
After a successful installation the program »mzr-pump control« can be found in
the start menu under »Programs - HNP Mikrosysteme«. After the program had
been initiated, data such as the pump type »mzr-2521« and »mzr-2921«, the
encoder resolution and the gear reduction should be set.
The »Dosage« operating mode (see figure 33) enables to set constant volumes in
units such as ml, mg or rpm as well as pauses for a fixed number of sequences or
for continuous operation. Each metering procedure will be configured as
according to speed profile which is set for such values as »Max. velocity« and the
»Acceleration«. The maximal allowable speed values extend from 1 to 6000 rpm
and the acceleration values from 1 to 2000 rotation/s².
A dosage task can be initiated with the »Start« button or by pressing the enter
key. The task may be stopped either with the »Stop« button or by pressing once
again the enter key.
In the »Continuous flow« operating mode (see figure 34) continuous flow rates
in units such as ml/min, g/min and rpm may be set. The operation of the micro
annular gear pump for the indicated »Duration« value may be initiated with the
»Start« button or by pressing the enter key. Checking of the »endless« box will
put the pump to continuous operation. Pressing on the »Stop« button or on the
enter key once again will stop the delivery. If you check the »Potentiometer« box,
speed may be set by turning the potentiometer knob in the front of the control
module or on the control unit.
The input of the »Fluid density« enables to convert units of weight to the given
volumes or flow rates expressed in volume units.
Remark
: if you are only working with volumes, the indication of liquid density will
not be necessary and the standard value »1« can be left.
The »Calibration factor« enables to find the relation between the actually
delivered quantities or flow rates (= actual value) and the set up quantities or
flow rates (=nominal value). The calibration factor is specific to every pump and
each application case and therefore should be determined by the user as
