Description of electronic circuits
The Analyzer is a completely micro-controlled instrument. The fundamental concept regarding its operating
way is that it carries out commands it receives through communication port. These commands are simple
operations sent by the user’s software on a PC, and the instrument decides when they are to be carried
out.
In order to carry out all the commands received from the PC, the Analyzer has thirteen microcontrollers.
The main microcontroller receives commands through the communication port and it sends the operations
that correspond to the other twelve microcontrollers. Within the other microcontrollers, there are seven
whose function is to operate the seven engines in the instrument, two which control temperature and three
which communicate with internal devices of the instrument.
The Analyzer has four power supplies: a 24 Volt power supply that provide power to the power circuits; a
±15 Volt power supply for supplying power to the lamp and the analogical circuits; a 15 Volt power supply
for the refrigerated tray, a 24 Volt power supply with output of 24 volt for the ISE module and 5 volt for
digital circuit.
