Connecting the Smartline Pump 1000 to other Instruments
50ml head.
The
cables
to
which
the REMOTE and EVENT terminal strips are
connected can, under certain circumstances, be subject to
electromagnetic disturbances. Such disturbances can be effectively
suppressed with the enclosed ferrite ring. If necessary, the ferrite
ring should be attached to the cable to which both terminal strips
are connected (see Fig. 28 below).

Using the RS232 Serial Interfaces in the KNAUER-Net
This section describes the necessary connections for operating the
Smartline Pump 1000 when controlled by ChromGate
®
or EuroChrom
®
software. For more detailed information, refer to the user manual of the
software.
The two RS232 serial interfaces on the rear side of the device (see {5.5}
in Fig. 4 on page 8) enable the transfer of digital data between the
Smartline Pump 1000 and other instruments such as other pumps,
detectors or a PC running a software package like ChromGate
®
or
EuroChrom
®
. All of the devices are communicating with each other and
form an integrated network. Control by KNAUER NET must be chosen
from the Setup Menu.
All devices are connected in a token ring according to the following: The
first RS232 interface (the one on the left) of the first device is connected
to the second RS232 interface (the one on the right) of the next device
and so on. The ring is closed by connecting the RS232 interface of the
last device to the free interface of the first one (see Fig. 29 below).
