Operators Handbook DCU3 – System
Introduction

Introduction
Sartorius BBI Systems´ digital measurement and control system for fermentors, the DCU3 – system, is
available as stand-alone unit for operation of Sartorius BBI Systems´ laboratory scale fermentors and
as a rack version for the measurement and control cabinets of pilot plant fermentors. All information
given in the handbook refer to the operation of these fermentors, unless otherwise specified. Above
this the DCU3-system can be applied as universal measurement and control system for fermentor
automation and for customized general measurement and control tasks.
This „Operator's Handbook“ describes all standard functions available with the software version 4.6 of
the DCU3 - system. In general the range of functions implemented for a specific fermentor is smaller
than the range that this manual describes. The DCU system can be adapted to the different fermentor
types by means of the software configuration and fermentor specific features.
Besides the standard configurations the DCU3 - system can have customized configura-
tions, as required for special applications. The description of such configurations can be
added to this document or can be combined into a project-specific document.
Design, installation, start-up and use of the fermentor system are shown in the extra operating manual
of this unit. More detailed technical information on the hard- and software structure, the system instal-
lation, etc., is given in the extra „Technical Manual DCU3 - system“. If the DCU3 - system should be
used together with a host computer the corresponding protocol for communication is described in the
manual „DCU-Host Communication“. Both these manuals are available on request.
The digital control system DCU3 is one example of Sartorius BBI Systems´ product program of sophis-
ticated fermentation and peripheral laboratory equipment. For further information about this device and
