Abstract

ABSTRACT A computer-driven pump controller capable of providing voltage, current and pulsed outputs for up to five pumps in analytical systems is described. The controller is ideal for situations which require remote control of speed and direction for many pumps of different types. The design is based on the Advanced Micro Devices 9513 system timer chip and provides 0-10 V, 0-25 mA and pulsed TTL outputs to control each pump. In addition, phase-locked loop circuitry allows feedback for speed regulation of certain pumps. For control of stop/start, direction or other functions, eight independently programmable TTL outputs are provided. The controller is inexpensive and designed to be driven from the parallel printer port of an IBM PC compatible computer for maximum portability. Other uses of the interface are also possible.
