cable, so no external I/O cable is needed. For more information, see
page 3-5 .
You cannot use the 1500-series pump’s Ethernet port at the same time you are
using its IEEE-488 bus interface for communications.
To make the ethernet connections:
1. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the
pump’s rear panel.
2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet LAN
network card in the data control system or an Ethernet switch connected
to the data control system. For additional Ethernet configuration
information, see the Waters Ethernet Instrument Getting Started Guide .
Making IEEE-488 connections
If you are not using Ethernet communications for your HPLC configuration,
the 1500-series pump, interconnect other chromatography equipment in the
HPLC system such as the column heater, autosampler, detector, and the data
control workstation using IEEE-488 cables.
Most chromatography equipment is shipped with a 1-meter cable with
dual-receptacle connectors at each end. The Waters data control workstation,
such as a Breeze 2 system, comes with a 2-meter cable with a dual-receptacle
connector at one end and a single-receptacle connector at the other end.
The IEEE-488 cable transmits digital data between the pump and the
IEEE-488 interface card (such as, a busLAC/E card) in the data control system
(computer). Observe the IEEE cabling and connection requirements and
follow IEEE specifications when adding the pump to the existing IEEE-488
connections.
