ProcessLab
The modular analysis system
ProcessLab is an entirely modular analysis system.
Custom-made, it is perfectly adapted to meet your specific
analytical and technical process requirements.
Analysis systems with Touch
Each system consists of an analysis module and an
operating unit. The analysis module is constructed
according to individual requirements and contains
exactly those components that are necessary to carry
out the desired task. The operating unit with protected
keyboard and Touchpad permits easy and convenient
operation. For even easier use an operating unit with
Touch screen is optionally available.
Both the analysis module and the operating unit are
mounted in a robust, splash-water-protected housing
and are therefore ideally suited for use under rough
conditions in production facilities.
Modular wet-chemistry part
The wet-chemistry part of an analysis module is modular
in design, just like the electronics part. Both parts
are hermetically separated from one another. Modern
interfaces such as Ethernet and USB 2.0 allow the spatially
separate installation of the analysis modules or
the separation of operating unit and analysis module.
This are important features for analyses in clean rooms
or in hazardous areas.
System control is achieved by a built-in industrial PC
and the powerful tiamo software for ProcessLab
from Metrohm. tiamo laboratory methods can be
easily and quickly adapted for ProcessLab.
Established Titrando technology
ProcessLab is also equipped with a Metrohm Dosing &
Measuring Controller (MDM). The MDM Controller is
a high-end titration system for up to four 800 Dosino
dosing systems. Dynamic (DET) and monotonic (MET)
titration, endpoint titration (SET), Karl Fischer titration
(KFT), measurements with ion-selective electrodes
(MEAS CONC) and liquid handling are possible with
just one instrument. A maximum of two MDM
Controllers can be built into one analysis module, so
that up to eight 800 Dosino dosing systems are
supported.
Communication with the process surroundings
Digital and analog Input/Output components (I/O)
allow the system to be easily integrated in the process
surroundings. Thus it can react to different input signals,
e.g. automatically measure different parameters
depending on the sample, trigger an alarm if limits
are infringed or transmit measured values as analog
4...20 mA signals.
With the second Ethernet connection (RJ45) ProcessLab
can be easily integrated into a local network or completely
operated by remote control. Analysis data can
be exported to any LIMS system or made available to a
process control system.
Combined modules
The modularity of the system means that several analysis
modules can be combined to form a single and
complete system. This results in simply structured and
easily manageable analysis units. Sample introduction
can be performed manually or – far more comfortable
– by using a sample processor.
