With the BioPAT
®
Xgas hardware, the O
2
and CO
2
concentration can be
monitored and controlled for any given bioprocesses in real time.
The BioPAT
®
Xgas is a dual oxygen-carbon dioxide sensor featuring automatic
compensation for humidity and pressure. The oxygen concentration can be
measured in a range of 1 – 50 % and the carbon dioxide concentration
in a range of 0 – 10 %.
The BioPAT
®
Xgas Sensor can be directly connected by analog signals to
the DCU system. Therefore, only a cable and two free analog input ports at
the DCU systems need to be available.
Alternatively, if there are no available analog input ports on the DCU system,
then it is possible to connect the BioPAT
®
Xgas hardware using the BioPAT
®
Xgas Vis Software interfacing to the MFCS/win SCADA software. Herein,
the direct connection of the BioPAT
®
Xgas Sensors to the MFCS/win software
with all necessary hardware and software components is described.
