To change the communications mode:
With the network address displayed [Ad:nn], press the left-most arrow key to enter the communications mode
menu. Pressing any arrow key will scroll through the menu selections:
Address Mode: Default communications with a computer mode.
Reciprocating Pumps. Sends Start/Stop, Pumping rate and reverse
pumping direction to an attached secondary pump.
Reciprocating Pumps. Sends Start/Stop, Pumping rate and same
pumping direction to an attached secondary pump.
Alternating Pumps. Starts second pump when current pumping
program stops. Modified by TTL RUN.1 and OUT.0 setting.
Note: Communications with a computer requires the accessory cable: CBL-PC-PUMP-7.
Dual pump modes requires the accessory cable: CBL-DUAL-3
In Reciprocating or Dual Pumps Modes, the secondary pump must be left in its default communications setting of
Address Mode, Address 0, and 19,200 baud rate. See the documentation with CBL-DUAL-3 cable for more
detailed information.
8. Pumping Program
A Pumping Program is simply a pre-defined sequence of actions, or functions, which guarantees consistent and
precise operation of the pump, automatically, and with or without any user intervention. A Pumping Program can
be as simple as continuous pumping at a fixed infusion rate. Or a Pumping Programs could consist of a pumping
rate and direction of pumping for a specified volume, then switch to another pumping rate. Also a Program can
interact with external devices through the TTL I/O connector, make decisions, or stop pumping for a period of
time.
Programs are broken into individual operations called Phases. Each Phase consists of a function that can be a
control function or pumping function. A pumping function, such as ‘RATE’, consists of a pumping rate, optional
“Volume to be Dispensed”, and the pumping direction.
Complex dispensing systems can be designed, involving multiple liquids, each dispensed from a different pump,
plus other equipment and sensors. Pumping Programs can be designed for each pump which enables multiple
pumps to synchronize with each other, and the other equipment and sensors, using a cable connected to the TTL
I/O connectors of each pump.
When the Pumping Program is started, either from the keypad, TTL I/O connector, or from RS-232, the Pumping
Program will begin with Phase 1 of the Program. After the completion of each Phase, the pump will immediately
start the next consecutive Phase. This linear sequence of Phases can be altered by certain functions that direct the
Pumping Program to continue operation with a different Phase number. Some functions can change the order of
operation conditionally based on external events.
8.1 How to Enter Pumping Programs
A Pumping Program can be entered directly from the pump’s keypad, or uploaded from a computer using
PUMPTERM or SyringePumpPro software. A Pumping Program can be stored in a text file and edited with any
word processor, which facilitates development and maintenance of the program. A Pumping Program generator
spreadsheet is available to assist in developing a Pumping Program and to create the text file for uploading to a
pump.
Start by organizing your pumping requirements into specific actions and conditions that can then be programmed
into Phases. For more advance programming methods, common groups of Phases can be grouped together and
repeated multiple times using looping and jump functions.
The current values of the pumping rate, optional “Volume to be Dispensed”, and pumping direction, all refer to the
currently selected Phase. To display or change the currently selected Phase, enter “Program Entry Mode” by
pressing and holding the ‘Rate’/’Program Phase #’ key until the current Phase number is displayed. The display
will show , where ‘01’ refers to Phase 1. The pump will now be in “Program Entry Mode”. If the
current Phase is not 1, press and hold the ‘Rate’/’Program Phase #’ key until the display is as shown. The pump
will now be in Phase 1.
