3.5 Connection to Metrohm IC systems
3.5.1 IC system remotely controlled by PC
Data acquisition and control of the IC components can be performed
from the PC using the «IC Net 2.x» PC software and the 830 IC Inter-
face. In this case, the 838 Advanced Sample Processor is connected to
the IC system both via the serial RS232 interface and via the remote in-
terface. The preprogrammed instrument methods of the 838 Advanced
Sample Processor are not required in this case since the corresponding
sequences are programmed and controlled by the PC software. This
Chapter describes the various combination options of the 838 Ad-
vanced Sample Processor with Metrohm IC systems on the basis of this
technology.
3.5.2 Metrohm IC systems
Metrohm IC systems can be subdivided in to modular IC systems
("MIC") and compact IC systems (e. g. 761 Compact IC). The follow-
ing table provides an overview of preconfigured modular Metrohm IC
systems.
Designation Function of the modular IC system
MIC-1
Anionic or cationic system with electronic suppression
MIC-2
Anionic system with chemical suppression
MIC-3
Anionic und cationic system with chemical suppression
MIC-4
Anionic or cationic system with electrical suppression and enrichment
MIC-5
Anionic system with chemical suppression and enrichment
MIC-6
Anionic system with chemical suppression, enrichment and matrix elimina-
tion
MIC-7
Anionic system with chemical suppression and dialysis
MIC-8
Modular system with 817 Bioscan for sugar analysis
MIC-9
Combined system for anionic and sugar analysis
MIC-10
Binary high pressure-gradient system for anion determination with chemical
suppression
Table 4 MIC systems
The electrical interconnection of some of these systems with the 838
Advanced Sample Processor with complete control of the entire IC sys-
tem by the «IC Net 2.3» software is described below. Since certain ver-
sions differ essentially as the result of the additional enrichment
technology (see MIC-1 / MIC-4 and MIC-2 / MIC-5), we shall describe
the
MIC-2
and
MIC-3
systems at this point. Systems
MIC-7
and
MIC-8
are also listed as further typical versions.
