Getting the most out of micro controllers
A manufacturer of bioreactors has chosen to use four Mitsubishi Alpha micro controllers rather than a traditional PLC, with the Alphas linked to a Mitsubishi GT15 user interface.
I4Innovation has married four Alpha micro controllers with the GT15 HMI (human machine interface) to monitor and control pumps, impellers, inlet and outlet valves and multiple sensors in its bioreactors. At the same time, the control system also manages the production of nitrogen and oxygen from the atmosphere for use in the reactor.
