LabManager ® -System 

The LabManager system is an automation and/or 

process control system which isspecially suited for 

laboratory-, mini- and bench plants as well as for 

pilot plant stations. It is suitable for the automation of 

virtually all chemical-procedures reaching from 

batch, semi-batch and continuous processes. 

The LabManager system was developed in close 

cooperation with specialists from laboratories and 

pilot plant stations of major chemical companies. It 

has proved its worth in a great number of areas as a 

standard tool. 

In accordance with the requirements of the NAMUR 

Working Party for research process control computer 

systems (RPCCS), particular care has been directed 

to develop a user-friendly man-machine interface, a 

compact design, and a high application flexibility. 

The LabManager RPCCS especially distinguishes 

by the fact that it is also transparent and easy to 

handle for personnel inexperienced in automation 

technique even if they want to go into detail. 

LabManager, the Interface Genius! 

With help from the graphically programmable recipe 

control system HiBatch and a unit operation library, a 

customer without automation-technical knowledge 

can program the control program for a complex 

synthesis in a few minutes. 

The LabManager systems usually have a pay-back 

period below one year!

Day Routine: 

First test start, e.g. at 8:00a.m., test completed at 

7:00p.m. In the meantime, the laboratory technician 

is free for the evaluation of last night's automatic run 

and the preparations for the next tests. 

Second test start, e.g. at 7:30p.m. 

Test completed at 6:30a.m. (unattended). 

According to this, two tests per day are now possible 

instead of one as before! 

The laboratory utilisation is improved by 100%. 

Cost Factors EUR

The amortisation period is evaluated out of the cost 

of one laboratory day (e.g. 750 Euro) and the total 

cost: 

Amortisation Period = 50 days! 

Even in the worst case scenario, assuming an 

improvement laboratory utilisation of merely 15%, 

which accords to a saving of 21,000 Euro annually, 

the amortisation period is still below one year! 

Additional beneficial Effects: 

GLP-conform mode of operation by a significant 

improvement of the documentation, the quality and 

reproducibility. 

A further Pay-Off Calculation for Chemistry 

Laboratories

Colour R&D Laboratory 

Frequently changing recipes (savings due to 

simplified parameterisation via HiBatch recipe

Amortisation Period = 6 months! 

Naturally, similar results are achieved in continuous 

operation, if, instead of having personnel directly at 

the location, it is only necessary to have an on-call 

duty and remote alarming. 

It is a known fact that one day a product is launched 

on to the market earlier can result in six to sevendigit 

additional revenue. 

This clearly indicates how much laboratory 

automation is nowadays a must!! 

Using project moduls shortens the process of 

creating projects significantly. 



Conventional Automation compared to LabManager ® 

With the application-oriented device components, 

typical automation basic functions, such as dosing, 

vacuum control, and the control of the reactor 

interior temperature, are realised in an 

uncomplicated manner. 

The application-oriented device components contain 

all required functionalities. 

The dosing device components additionally offer the 

possibility to automatically or manually refill the feed 

tank without dosing interruption. The 

parameterisation of controllers is no longer 

Example 1: A Dosing Circuit for Liquids 

necessary and thus, one of the greatest and most 

time-consuming problems in practice is eliminated. 

In contrary to conventional automation systems, 

almost all modifications, which may become 

necessary in the course of a running test, can now 

be realised without having to shut down the plant. 

In order to clearly demonstrate the cost-saving 

potential of the LabManager-System, several cost 

calculations for the conventional realisation of a few 

process and control tasks are compared with the 

according realisation by the LabManager-System.

EUR 

Further savings are generated by the significantly 

reduced required space of the LabManagers and the 

significantly lower costs in case of later upgrading. 

Here, the typical saving can be up to 

70– 80 % !

The savings for this individual task already add up 

to far more than 4820.00 EUR, which is 

approximately 70 %! 

Or, to express it differently, a conventional solution 

is 3.5 times more expensive! 

The primal saving potential is however 

represented by its daily use, in particular in cases of 

frequently changing processes and frequently 

changing recipes. A new recipe control can be 

establishment by the laboratory technician with the 

help of LabVision's basis operations library within a 

timeframe which, if conventional methods were 

applied, would already be needed for the technical 

clarification alone. 

Additional significant savings are generated by the 

smaller footprint of the LabManagers and the lower 

costs in case of later upgrading. 

EUR 

Further substantial advantages in regard to costs, 

time, and result from the fact that the PLT system 

LabManager is easy to upgrade and expand in case 

the plant should require this at a later stage. 

The devices can expanded at any time by refitting 

of modules, panels and cards. 

The modification of the application software can be 

conducted by company-own personnel. 

Software modifications, new connection or exchange 

of sensors and actors can usually be realised while 

the plant is in operation without shutting it down. 

It is only possible to estimate the savings on a 

rudimentary basis, but according to the evaluation of 

long term users, they are considerable. These 

advantages are mainly demonstrated by the 

LabManager System in every day operation in 

laboratories and pilot plants. 

You want us to provide you with further arguments? 

We will gladly introduce you to experienced users of 

the LabManager System. 


System Assembly 


An automation system is composed of a "Process- 

Interface (PI), in this case the LabManager and a 

User Interface (UI) which is a Personal Coumputer 

with Windos OS and LabVision Software. 

Functionality of the Process Interface 

The PI includes interfaces for the connection of the 

sensors, actuators, and devices. It is used for 

� Collecting 

� Converting and 

� Linking of Signals 

� Monitoring 

� Controlling 

� Automatic controlling etc. 

The LabManager and LabBox PIs are equipped for 

the special ambient conditions in the laboratory or 

pilot plant stations. The required space is kept to a 

minimum. 

Functionality of the User-Interface 

The UI, also referred to as work station, represents 

the interface between user and process. It is used 

for 

� parameterising 

� operating 

� monitoring 

� reporting 

� logging 

� saving 

� evaluation 

It is comprised of a special PC running under 

Windows XP or Windows Vista operating systems 

and the required LabVision-UI software modules. 

Service features 

The high functional level of the HiTec Zang 

automation system, compared to a traditional 

automation system is particularly evident in regard to 

the following aspects. 

Interfaces 

The extensive choice of interfaces includes all 

currently available interfaces for sensors, actuators 

and devices. 

Interface panels with standardised connection 

sockets are available for the different types of 

interfaces. 

The construction and electric wiring of the 

connections comply with the recommendations and 

guidelines for laboratory devices of the chemical 

industry (NAMUR NE28 recommendation). Mistakes 

in the course of connecting are therefore excluded. 

Suitable connecting cables for the usual laboratory 

devices are available. For this reason, customers 

without special EMSR technical and electro 

technical knowledge are also able to connect 

sensors, actuators and laboratory devices 

independently. 

EMC robust interfaces guarantee a problem-free 

application also in case of deployment under rough 

conditions. 


8 


Beyond the measurement value collection and 

control function units, the devices also include the 

most frequent process measurement and control 

(PMC) components for: 

� Signal input/output 

� Potential Separation 

� Amplifying 

� Filtering 

� Linearisation 

� Control 

� Automatic Control 

� Monitoring and Reporting (Alarming) 

� Supply of sensors and actuators with power 

External transducer, buffer amplifier etc. are not 

necessary anymore. Due to the consequently 

compact design of the devices, the required space is 

reduced to a minimum so that they will fit in any rack 

or on any lab table. If conventionally constructed, a 

comparable technology would fill one or even 

several control cabinets. 

The possibility to mount the device directly on to the 

plant represents a significant help to save costs for 

project planning and cabling and allows an easy 

remounting of the instrumentation. 

LabManager mounted directly on the plant 

Replaces multiple devices 

Lab/MSR-devices resplace electronics of eg. The 

controller part of multple devices or the whole 

devices of regular automation units like 

� Dosing devices 

� Titrators 

� Vaccuum stations 

� Closed Loop Controllers 

� Plotters 

� Transducers 

� Dataloggers 

� Sensor-Actuator-Power Supply 

Instead of connecting costly devices only a 

LabManager or a LabBox and simple device 

components are needed. What has been done with 

extensive and costly planning is now being deliverd 

with a turn-key solution in these compact devices. 

The basic configuration of all Lab/MSR PIs features: 

� 2 point scaling/calibration for datapoints 

(Inputs, Outputs,...) 

� Limit and warn values for all datapoints 

� Manual/automatic mode for datapoints 

� Integrated filter functionality: low pass, 

averaging, min, max, distribution, variance 

� Mathematic linearisation functions like ln, 

exp, sqr, sqrt 

� Linearisation tables for Pt100, NiCr-Ni, Fe- 

CuNi (Typ L), PtRho 10, PtRho 13, PtRho 30 

integrated in the flash memory 

� Device components for connections of 

datapoints 

� Sensor and conductor error detection 

Scaling and filter functions enable an optimal 

adaption to each measuring sensor. 

Device Components 

Device components enable a direct connection of 

datapoints inside the PI. This leads to a logical 

module whose in- and outputs can be connected 

freely. 

Available are: 

Application oriented device components (opt.) 

� Dosing control 

� Vaccuum control 

� Temperature cascade control 

� pH-control 

PMC Technical Functions 

� PID automatic controller (optional) 

� Adaptive automatic controller (optional) 

� Comparator 

� Ramp 

� Setpoint Value Generator (profiles) 

� Timer impulse 

� Timer Start Delay 

� Timer Falling Delay 

� Scales, Thermostat, Stirrer Communication 

� LabCom Communication 

� Temperature Compensation 

� Sample & Hold (scan and hold element) 


Mathematical Functions 

� Differentiator 

� Integrator 

� Adder 

� Subtractor 

� Multiplier 

� Divider 

� Averaging 

� Algebraic Polynomial 

Logical functions 

� AND-Element 

� OR-Element 

� XOR-Element 

� NOT-Element 

� Counter 


Switching Functions 

� Switch 1 to n 

� Switch n to 1 

� Monitored Output with/without Feedback Signal 

� Storage element (latch) 

Device components belong to the standard 

equipment of a PI and do not have to be ordered 

separately. (with exception of application-oriented 

device components, regulators, interface 

drivers)Modularity 

The PI devices can be adapted to modified or 

growing requirements at any time. It is therefore 

possible to upgrade a device, which was initially only 

used for measuring and monitoring, to a regulation 

and control system. In addition, a system can be 

extended almost infinitely by parallel connection of 

additional PIs. 

LabManager PIs are available in different casing 

sizes ranging from 6 to 20 free panel places. The 

LabBox1 and LabBox2 systems with 2 or 4 panel 

places are suited for smaller applications. 

Connecting technology of the LabManager: 

standardised plug-and-socket connectors 

The power supply for the sensor and the actuator 

can also be integrated into the devices. 

All devices are available as individually equipped 

basic devices or as devices with standard 

equipment. 

Safety 

Due to their integrated 32 bit processor, the PI 

devices are also able to run on an autonomous 

basis, i.e. without PC, and therefore comply with the 

requirements of the NAMUR safety standard 

category three. The CPU is monitored by a hardware 

watchdog device and boots automatically in case of 

troubles. 

To increase safety, an independent external 

watchdog device (HP-WDOGEXT1) is available. 

The UI (work station) is equipped with an 

uninterrupted power supply (UPS) and a UPS 

Management System. In case of a longer-lasting 

power failure, the UI will be shut down in a controlled 

manner. 

Alternative Connection Technology 

For plants with fixed wiring, the application of the 

MSRmanager System (process measurement and 

control - PMC) is intended, which uses terminal 

blocks with screw terminals instead of interface 

panels. The other functional features of the 

-manager are identical to those of the LabManager. 

A MSRmanager system can be extended with the 

same software and hardware options as a 

LabManager. You will find further information in the 

chapter „MSRmanager“.

screw terminals

System Configurations 


LabVision supports different basic topologies and 

media for the coupling of PI and UI (user interface, 

respectively work station) in order to reach a suitable 

projecting of the system hardware. 

As standard, a PI is coupled with a UI through a 

RS232 serial interface optinally a connection via 

USB or ethernet is possible. Light guides, RS485 

two-wire technology, or modems for 2 and 4 wire 

leased lines, or switched connection are available 

for the bridging of greater distances. The PIs can 

also be directly connected to a network via the 

Ethernet COM server. The UI can then be connected 

to every network socket. 

Several PIs can be connected to a UI via multiple 

interface cards. 

In order to run several independent applications, 

several LabVision licenses can work in parallel on a 

UI. All applications on UI use the same on-line data 

base so that every application can access the data 

points of other applications, if needed. 

With HiNet it is possible to cross-link several PIs to a 

UI. HiNet uses a RS485 twin wire as transmission 

medium and can cover distances up to approx. 1000 

m on a normal telephone cable. HiNet is easy to 

project. 

An evaluation computer in the office can be linked to 

a LAN in order to retrieve data for the evaluation. 

Distributed systems can be realised with the 

platform-overlapping standard CORBA (Common 

Object Request Broker Architecture). The standard 

Ethernet 10/100/1000 MHz, RJ45 Twisted Pair is 

used as transport medium. 

Devices of other manufacturers and field buses, 

such as the PROFIBUS DP, or the HART protocol 

canbe integrated as well. For more information, see 

"Remote Access" 



Automation with the LabManager System 

The LabManager system is suitable for the 

automation of virtually all basic unit operations and 

functions such as: 

Temperature Regulation and Control 

Regulated temperature control by heat/cool 

thermostats, heating elements or steam for 

� heating and chilling reactions defined by random 

curves and/or profiles 

� distillation and reflux distillation 

� crystallization 

� determination of calorific key data 

� temperature-controlled dosing of exothermic 

mixtures 

The special device component for the temperature 

regulation cascade, in connection with the autoparameterisation 

module HiTune, cuts the timeconsuming 

parameterisation procedure down to a 

few minutes. 

For the reactions calorimetry, the LabKit-rc, as well 

as individual hardware and software modules are 

available for the refitting of existing plants. 

Dosing 

Controlled dosing of solid matters, liquids and gases 

via 

� Scales 

� Flow Rate Sensors 

� Clocked and proportional Valves 

� LabDos Peristaltic Pumps 

� SyrDos Syringe Dosers 

� AlfaDos -controlled Dropping Funnel 

� GraviDos-controlled Dropping Funnel 

� SolidDos Solid Matter Doser 

� Massflow Controller 

The self-parameterising dosing device components 

also enable an inexperienced user to configure a 

precisely working gravimetric dosing within a few 

minutes. 

Pressure and Vacuum 

Flexible strategies for the pressure regulation from 

vacuum up to high pressures also under difficult 

conditions. 

� Simple and dual sensor 

� Automatic changeover rough / detailed sensor 

� Vacuum and aeration program control 

� Inerting 

The self-parameterising device component vacuum 

regulation supports systems with and without 

ventilation/inerting. 


12 


pH value / RedOx potential 

pH value and RedOx potentials can be monitored 

and controlled. 

� One-sided automatic control (acid or base) 

� Bilateral automatic control (acid and base) 

� Titration 

Stirring with Torque and Viscosity Recording 

The recording and control of the stirrer torque can 

supply important additional information about the 

process: 

� Viscosity 

� Dissipation 

� Reaction Progression 

Sampling 

Sampling and storage of liquids controlled with 

� Single valves 

� Multi-way valves 

� Pipetting Robot (AutoSam) 

In addition, many further, even more complex 

operations, such as phase separation, 

fractionated distillation or crystallisation, are 

available. 

Recipe Control 

Due to the extraordinarily powerful graphically 

programmable NAMUR and IEC compliant HiBatch 

recipe control module, users without automation 

technical experience can also establish complex 

recipe processes, e.g. multi-stage syntheses, within 

shortest time and have them conducted 

automatically (see HiBatch). 

For users who want to become operational as fast 

as possible, an extensive basis operation library 

(see SLGOPBIB) is available. 


Instrumentation 


Principally all sensors, actuators and laboratory 

devices that have an interface or are supplied 

electrically can be linked in the automation, for 

example: 

Sensors 

� Temperature 

� Pressure 

� Flow 

� Level

LabManager1 and 2 


The LabManager1 is the standard device for lab 

and pilot plant stations with up to 50 interfaces. 

The LabManager2 can be equipped with more than 

a hundred interfaces. The devices are equipped 

with a 32 bit CPU card with a real time operating 

system, a battery backed-up clock, battery backedup 

(UPS) and specially interference-resistant 

CMOS RAM for the saving of parameterisation, 

FLASH-ROM for the operating system, PCM 

control programs and a watchdog switching for the 

hardware and software monitoring as well as a 

serial interface for the operator console (UI). The 

devices are connected to a serial interface of the 

UI through a file transfer cable or a fibre-optic light 

guide. Up to eight devices can be operated from an 

UI. 

The power saving CMOS technology hardly 

produces lost heat so that the devices can be run 

without forced ventilation. Hence, high reliability 

and service life are guaranteed. 

Assembly Options 

In the standard assembly of the LabManager, the 

interface panels form the rear panel of the device. 

In case the LabManager is built into a control 

cabinet, the interface panels can be mounted on 

the door, on the back or on the sides. A specific 

panel frame is available for this purpose (see panel 

frame). 

The robust metal case of the LabManager is 

suitable for free-standing arrangement and for the 

mounting on 19-inch control cabinets. 

The user interfaces for the basic device functions 

are placed on the front panel of the LabManager. 

Properties: 

� 32 bit CPU 

� 1 MB CMOS-RAM 

� 6 MB FLASH store 

� PC104 bus enlargement plug 

� battery buffered real-time clock 

� Watchdog (monitor switching) 

All devices are available with standard equipment 

or as basic devices for individual mounting. 

If one needs two outlets to be supplied with a 

LabManager device or if little place is available on 

site for the connecting technique, the interface 

panels can be distributed on a maximum of two 

outstations (see outstations). In any case though, 

the maximum cable length should not be more 

than 5 m. 


LabBox1 and 2 


LabBox devices basically offer all characteristics of 

the LabManager devices but are designed for fewer 

interfaces and can only be equipped with internal 

sensor and actuator power supplies on a limited scale. 

These devices are preferably used for data logging or 

automation of small laboratory plants. 

They are respectively available with standard 

equipment or as a basic device for individual 

mounting.

building: 

LabManager3 basis 

device (LABMAN3B) 


A LabManager PI is for exampleassembled as 

follows: 

� a basic device (LB-LABMAN1B), 

� an analogue/digital converter card (HK-AD20N), 

� a multiplexer card (HK-HMUX) 

� two interface panels (for example LP-AEP8 & LP- 

PTP8) as well as 

� a UI, e.g. a CG-ABK1 with 

� LabVision software. 

This configuration includes eight universal potentialfree 

analogue inputs and eight inputs for Pt100 

temperature sensors and is suitable for monitoring 

and data logging. 

If the system is not supposed to be updated later, a 

LabBox would be the more cost-efficient alternative. 

If more than seven interface panels, including the 

basis panel, are needed, it is necessary to use a 

double height LabManager2. Seven more panel 

places are available due to the additional height unit. 

In case of even greater interface requirement, 

several more devices can be run by one UI. 

Common Features 

All devices are equipped with a CPU32 card, a basis 

panel and a power supply. 

A power supply for sensors and actuators can 

optionally be integrated into the devices in order to 

obtain a compact and comprehensive automation 

solution. 

The corresponding UI LabVision software will also 

be individually customised to your precise 

requirements. 


LabBox Basis Device 


As an intelligent central processing unit, a LabBox 

basis device contains a 32 bit controller card 

(CPU32), a basis panel and a power supply for the 

cards. 

Next to a low heat device socket for the power 

supply and the main switch, the basis panel has a 

RS232 interface (opt. RS485 or Ethernet, see UI/PI 

couplings) for the connection of the UI. Up to four 

more serial interfaces can be mounted on the basis 

panel. 

A minimum system can be arranged for example as 

follows: 

� a basic device (e.g. LB-LABBOX1B) 

� an analogue/digital converter card with 8-channel 

multiplexers (HK-AD20NMUX8) with 

� an interface panel (e.g. LP-AE4PT4P) and 

� a user interface UI (CG-ABK1). 

With this setup, a LabBox is suitable for monitoring 

and data logging with four universal potential-free 

analogue inputs (-10..+10 V, 0/4-20 mA) for the 

connection of any analogue sensors and/or signals 

and four inputs for the connection of Pt100 

temperature sensors. The device is integrated to the 

LK-LABBOX1K standard system package in this 

configuration. 

If the system is supposed to be upgraded later with 

a total of more than eight interfaces, a LabBox2, 

LabManager1 or LabManager2 is the more costefficient 

alternative.

Outstations (LZ-USTAT) 


The use of a space-saving outstation is 

recommended as a ideal solution in case of limited 

space. Up to two outstations can be connected to a 

LabManager. The case is made of anodized 

aluminum. A 24 V DC power supply primarily used 

by the binary outputs is integrated into every 

outstation. 


Width: 605 mm (LZ-USTAT6), 666 mm (LZ-USTAT7) 

Example Assembly 

for LZ-USTAT6 

Height: 141 mm 

Consequently, actuators (for example valves) can be 

connected directly, i.e. without the need of external 

power supply. 

Of course, the outstation can be equipped according 

to the specific application. 

It is connected to the LabManager via a 3 m 

(maximum 5 m) cable.

The feasibility of other interface combinations must 

be coordinated with our design department on an 

individual basis. 

Panel Frame (LZ-PR..) 

If the LabManager is built into a control cabinet, the 

interface panels can be mounted on the door, on the 

rear or on the sides, or into 19” slide-in modules 

(e.g. Located above or beneath the LabManager). 

One or several panel frames are screwed to a 

suitable section for this purpose.

LAB PI interfaces 

The interfaces for the process are usually found on 

the PI (LabManager and LabBox). Serial interfaces 

and bus interfaces are an exception. These can be 

provided on the PI and on the UI (See UI interfaces). 

Which signal type accords to which sensor, actuator, or device? 

The following table displays via which signal type the 

different instrumentation components such as 

sensors, actuators and laboratory devices 

communicate and how they can be connected to the 

LAB PIs. 

. 

The PI is equipped with interface panels with 

standardized NAMUR compliant connections. There 

are suitable panels for the connection of virtually all 

actuators, sensors and devices present in the lab. 

Many laboratory devices have several connections 

for selection, for example analogue I/O or RS232. 

As far as practical applications are concerned, the 

analogue interfaces are more uncomplicated since 

less modifications have to be carried out and a multimeter 

suffices as a test apparatus, if one is required.

Interface Panels for Analogue Input 

Different systems are available for analogue input, 

which differ in respect to accuracy and electric 

robustness. The combined HK-AD20NMUX8 and 

HK-AD20NMUX16 AD converter multiplexer cards 

can be used for smaller systems. 

8 Voltage and Current Inputs (LP-AEP8) 

The panel for analogue input is 

designed for collecting voltages 

of -10...+10 V and current 

signals of 0/4 ... 20 mA. 

Laboratory devices such as 

heat/cool thermostats or mixers 

and measuring sensors can be 

connected to the eight potentialfree 

and EMC robust inputs. 

� 8 analogue inputs for voltage and current of 

0/4 ... 20 mA (6-pin tuchel socket DIN45322) 

� Combinable with other analogue input panels 

An example out of many possible applications is the 

recording of a pressure with a pressure sensor due 

to 4...20 mA two wire technology. This gives out 4 

mA at 0 mbar and 20 mA at 1000 mbar. 

The measured electric value is converted to a mbar 

value in the PI by appropriate scaling of the data 

point. For this purpose, the parameters in LabVision 

must be set to the following values: 

Minimum process value 0 

Maximum process value 1000 

Minimum interface value 4 

Maximum interface value 20 

EMC robust HK-HMUX multiplexer cards together 

with a HK-AD20N AD converter card are 

recommended for bigger systems. 

For each of the different signal and sensor types, 

suitable NAMUR standard compliant interface 

panels are available. 

Each interface panel for analogue input has 8 inputs 

while HK-HMUX multiplexer cards and the HK- 

AD20NMUX16 have 16 channels.2 panels can be 

connected to each card. Here it is possible to 

combine different panels, for example a panel for 

thermocouples with a panel for Pt100 feelers. 

To protect unused inputs against corrosion and dust, 

you can cover them with plastic caps. 

Connection examples for the LP-AEP8 and LP-AEP8A analogue 

input interface panels 

Note: When using a LP-AEP8A panel, you can 

connect sensors with a twin or quadruple wire 

connection directly to a socket, i.e. without external 

power supply.

8 Voltage and Current Inputs with Power Supply (LP-AEP8A) 

The panel for analogue input is 

designed for collecting voltages 

of -10...+10 V and current 

signals of 0/4 ... 20 mA. 

Laboratory devices such as 

heating/cooling thermostats or 

stirrers and measuring sensors 

can be connected to the eight 

potential-free and EMC robust 

inputs. 

� 8 analogue inputs for voltage and current of 

0/4 ... 20 mA (6-pin tuchel socket) 

� sensor feeding 

� combinable with other analogue input panels 

You can connect sensors with a twin or quadruple 

wire connection directly to a socket of the LP-AEP8A 

panel, i.e. without external power supply. Therefore, 


connecting requires only few seconds since the 

connection to a power supply is not necessary.

combined input/output panel are available on choice 

for analogue output. 

8 Voltage and Current Outputs (LP-AAP8UI) 

This panel is used for 

connecting laboratory devices 

with analogue voltage or 

current inputs for control and 

regulation purposes. 

The LP-AAP8UI panel uses 

eight NAMUR compliant 6-pin 

tuchel sockets for the output of 

analogue signals. 

� 8 analogue outputs 

� Voltage of -10...+10 V and current of 0/4 ... 20 

mA (6-pin tuchel socket) working resistance 

of maximum 500 Ω 

An example out of many possible applications is 

driving a stirrer. It is supposed to run at 0 rpm with 0 

V and at 2000 rpm with 10 V. The rotation speed can 

be directly determined by suitable scaling of the data 

point. 

This means that the stirrer rotates at 300 rpm, if the 

a value of 300 is allocated to the data point. For this 

purpose, the parameters in LabVision will be set to 

the following values: 

Minimum process value 0 

Maximum process value 2000 

Minimum interface value 0 

Maximum interface value 10 


Connection example for stirrers and pumps 

The value of the output data point can be set by the 

user through a control module (SL-HiText), an 

automatic controller (SF-PIDxx) or by direct value 

assignment.

Serial Interfaces 


Serial interfaces can be provided on the PI and on 

the UI, (see also PC cards). Simpler laboratory 

devices as dosing pumps and balance will usually 

be connected directly to the PI so that they can 

simply be included in control loops. Laboratory 

devices with complex functionality such as analysers 

or titrating apparatuses are rather connected directly 

to the UI (see PC plug-in cards). 

Panel for 9x RS232 (LP-SER99) 

The ninefold RS232 panel can 

carry up to nine 9 pin serial 

interface modules. It can be 

used on the LAB and PMC PI 

devices. 

Additionally, HD-RS2329L, HD- 

RS2329PL or HD-RS485P 

interface modules are required 

on the panel depending on the 

number of interfaces. For 

increased performance, an 

additional HK-SER8ECB or HK- 

SER16ECB card is 

recommended. 


LP-SER99 Panel for 9 serial HD-RS2329 interface modules 

LZ-AKRS9 Caps 

For suitable connecting cables, see "Cables for Instrumentation". 

In the PI two different techniques are used: A serial 

interface, which is multiplexed to eight channels, is 

implemented on the CPU. Due to this, the connected 

devices can only communicate one after another 

and slow devices slow down the whole 

communication. 

The eightfold RS232 HK-SER8ECB module is 

suitable for universal use and achieves higher 

performance. Every channel has a 64 byte FIFO 

storage, so that the connected devices can 

communicate parallel. 

For communication, there are different technologies. 

You can find further information in the chapter 

"Driver Programs for Laboratory Device Interfaces“.

Measuring Amplifiers 


External Measuring Amplifier for pH/Redox 

The external buffer amplifier for pH and Redox 

electrode is integrated in a plug. 

The electrodes can be directly connected without pH 

measuring device. The cable with integrated 

amplifier is connected to a common analogue input. 

Temperature compensation and calibration are 

realised in a special device component in the PI. 

As the sensitive electrode signal is buffered directly 

in the plug, the cable can be extended without 

increasing the sensitivity. 

The voltage of the integrated Lithium cell can be 

tested at the plug. 

Advantages: 

� Space-Saving 

� Cable can be extended

IL-PHAMP1 Cable with integrated amplifier pH/Redox electrodes 

Digital Measuring Amplifier for pH/Redox 

The external digital buffer amplifier for pH- and 

Redox electrodes does not require an own power 

supply when connected to a LAB-PNC. 

The electrodes can be directly connected without 

ph-measuring device. 

The temperature compensation is integrated. The 

calibration is conducted with a special module in the 

PNC. 

The sensitive electrode signal is directly digitalised 

and can be transmitted over long distances without 

any errors to the PNC. 

The voltage of the integrated Lithium battery can be 

read off via the serial interface. 

The amplifier can be connected to any RS232 V24 

interface.

Driver Programs for Laboratory Device Interfaces 

Laboratory devices with serial interfaces can be 

integrated into the system via serial interface of the 

PI or the UI. 

Devices connected to the PI can be linked without 

problems to control loops such as sensor or final 

control elements. 

Devices connected to the UI can also be integrated 

as sensors or final control elements in control loops; 

however, values needed for automated control must 

be permanently replaced through the UI PI interface. 

Driver 

According to the complexity of the protocol, different 

kinds of drivers maybe useful. Drivers can partially 

be parameterised by the user, for the other part, they 

must be parameterised by a programmer. 

Integrated Drivers 

For most lab balances from Scaltec, Kern, Sartorius 

and Mettler, as well as heating/cooling thermostats 

by Huber, Julabo, Lauda or Thermo-Haake, interface 

drivers are already integrated. 

NAMUR Driver 

Laboratory devices with an ASCII log according to 

NAMUR- NE28 recommendation can simply be 

connected to the PI via the NAMUR driver (see 

NAMUR driver). 

PI Driver 

Laboratory devices with more complicated logs, in 

particular binary logs, can be connected to a serial 

interface of the UI via specific PI drivers (see PI 

driver). 

Specific Drivers 

For laboratory devices with more complicated logs, 

in particular binary logs, which are supposed to be 

connected directly to the PI, a driver must be 

programmed by our programming department. 

Where appropriate, a communication processor 

maybe necessary. 

HiText Driver 

Laboratory devices with more complicated logs can 

be connected to a serial interface of the UI via a 

driver written in HiText. The HiText driver can be 

programmed by the customer himself or by our 

programming department.

MSRmanager-System 

MSRmanager front view with mounted fastening angles 

The MSRmanager is mainly used in installations of 

the process and chemical engineering industry, 

research, environmental and process engineering, 

test facility automation and the manufacturing 

industry. 

It is deployed instead of the LAB-PI’s if the 

installation is to be hardwired. 

The main emphasis was put on compact 

construction and flexibility. One of many advantages 

in comparison to usual PLC or process computer 

based solutions derives from the possibility to 

change the parameters during the runtime without 

having to stop the installation. Especially during 

challenging projects of automation, the 

MSRmanager shows its unique features. 

Universal, free from potential and flexible interfaces 

save many transducers, interface and driver circuits. 

Using minimal space, the MSRmanager enables to 

even fulfil the most complex tasks which could either 

not be accomplished at all or only at great expense 

using conventional equipment. 

Because of its wide field of possible applications and 

its universal connection technology, the 

MSRmanager is an economical alternative to many 

other systems. 

The broad spectrum of available inputs and outputs 

even includes serial interfaces. To connect balances, 

analysers, dosing units etc., up to 15 serial 

interfaces can be installed. 

The MSRmanager system can be easily expanded 

and used for diverse applications. It is possible to 

realize networked systems and to include controllers 

from other manufacturers. 


60 


MSRmanager Organisation 

In order to realize installations for applications with 

up to 240 inputs/outputs, an MSRmanager can be 

equipped with the required interface cards and 

terminal blocks. 

The suitable modules can be found in the chapter 

MSRmanager Interfaces. A serial interface with 

potential isolation for connection to the Operator- 

Console (control computer) is provided. 

The Connection Technology 

Sensors and positioners are connected to the PI unit 

via terminal blocks. They are connected to the 

input/output cards by ribbon cable. Therefore, there 

is a plug on every terminal module to connect the 

ribbon cable. The signalling lines are applied with 

screwing terminals at the terminal block 

CG-ABK1x or CG-ABK2x are used as the control 

computer. 

The PI-UI coupling is accomplished via RS232 and 

up to 10 m long data cables (as standard, a 3 m 

cable will be delivered, other lengths upon request). 

The cabling can optionally be done by RS485 or 

optical fibres with up to 2000 m length. 

(HAV24LINK...). 


Free standing mounting installation 


The terminal blocks can either be mounted on the 

backside of the MSRmanager or on the top-hat rail 

or in a cabinet. 

Basic Devices 

MSRmanager-Basic Device 

The basic device contains the interface cards and 

the subsystems. The electronic frame is a solid 19inch 

chassis made of metal, which is suitable for 

freestanding mounting as well as for integrating into 

19-inch cabinets. 

The minimum configuration includes the circuit 

board with the bus, a 32-bit CPU, a watchdog circuit 

and a serial Operator-Console interface which is 

potential-isolated. 

The power saving CMOS-technology does not 

create much heat so that the device does not have 

to be ventilated. Therefore, there are no specific 

conditions as to where to install it. 

The minimal configuration consists of the basic 

device, a HiTec UI (e.g. CG-ABK1), a HK-AD20N 

analogue/digital conversion card and a HK-HMUXmultiplexor 

card with terminal block (e.g. MB- 

MSRmanager rear view Clamping yoke for ribon cable and Cable outlet 

The ribbon cables to the MSRmanager can be 

tailored accordingly. For each input/output card there 

are various terminal blocks available. The example 

shown here is the terminal block MB-AEB16V. 

We look forward to supporting your project planning! 

A terminal block mounted on a system rail 

AEB16VP). This system is well suited for e.g. data 

logging with 16 zero potential universal analogue 

inputs. 

Onto this device, thermal elements, Pt100, voltage 

and current emitting sensors, etc. can be coupled in 

arbitrary combinations. 

The device can be upgraded to up to 240 analogue 

and 128 binary interfaces (with PLC subsystem) so 

that it is adaptable to every task. 

The indicators and control elements for basic 

operations are located on the front panel of the 

MSRmanager. The “DC“ display indicates the status 

of the power supply. The “Busy“ display signalizes 

the operational status. The “COM“ display indicates 

the traffic to and from the Operator Console. 

Upon request, the terminal block can be mounted on 

the device rear panel.

MSRbox Basic Device 


The MSRbox-basis devices are, with exception of 

the reduced mounting possibilities, to a large extent 

identical with the MSRmanager basis device. They 

carry the required interface cards, sub systems, and 

hardware options. The electronics chassis is a 

robust metal casing, which is both suited for free 

mounting and for the assembly in control cabinets. 

The minimum configuration includes the circuit 

board with the bus, a CPU and multifunction card, 

the CMOS-RAM and a watchdog circuit as well as 

serial interface to the control computer, which is 

potential-isolated. 

The power saving CMOS-technology minimises lost 

heat so that the device does not have to be 

ventilated. Therefore there are no specific conditions 

as to where to install it. 

The basic device, in connection with a HiTec UI (e. 

g. CG-ABK1), a HK-AD20NMUX8 card with terminal 

block (e. g. MB-AEB16VP) already represents the 

hardware of a data logging system with 8 potentialfree, 

universal analogue input channels.

The devices can be upgraded with the available 

interfaces and consequently adjusted to any 

application purpose. 

The indicators and control elements for basic 

operations are located on the front panel of the 

MSRmanager. The “DC“ display indicates the status 

of the power supply. The “Busy“ display signals the 

operational status. The “COM“ display indicates the

HK-AD20NMUX16 Analogue measurement card, 16 channels, 20 Bit AD-converter 



Precision Acquisition Card, 8 Channels Pt100 

The precision measuring card HK-AD24Pxx was 

developed for applications with the highest demands 

in resolution and measuring accuracy. Due to its 

eight-channel specification the cost-use relation of 

this card is particularly favourable in applications 

which need several channels, e.g. reaction 

calorimetry. 

Special Properties 

� Highest accuracy: 24 Bit Resolution 

� Relative differential measurement uncertainty 

� ≤ ±0,001 °C in range -180 to 266 ° 

� 8 channels are virtually simultaneously 

captured in < 1 s 

� Self calibrating 

� 8 channels for Pt100 

Applications 

� High precision temperature measurement, e.g. in 

calorimetry 

� Calibration measurements with sensors 

� Precision voltage measurements in quality 

control applications 

The HK-AD24Pxx-cards have a very exact converter 

and a precision current source for resistive sensors. 

On eight inputs temperatures can be monitored with 

highest resolution over a very large temperature 

range. 

The modern circuit design makes compensation 

elements unnecessary. By self calibration, 

temperature- and aging influences are reduced to 

the extremely low long-time drift value of the highprecision 

reference elements. 

The temperature sensors are connected via a 

connection panel with connectors according to 

NAMUR standard. Suitable temperature sensors in 

different precision classes are available upon 

request with calibration certificate.

Digital-In/Output Card 

The digital-input/output card is needed, if valves, 

monitors etc. are to be directly switched over the 

MSRmanager or binary senders such as switches 

and limit value transmitters are to be queried. The 

card is inserted into the internal MSRmanager bus. 

The pulse-width modulated output allows quasicontinuous 

control of heaters, motorized control 

valves, etc.. Thus, there is no necessity for 

expensive thyristor actuators or additional control 

electronics. 

The pulse area modulation is an extended form of 

pulse frequency modulation (PFM), which minimises 

the pulse amount and consequently prevents 

damage to the actuator (e.g. a magnet valve). 

� 16 Optio-coupler outputs for Bit-, Byte-, pulse 

width and frequency modulated output (max. 1 

kHz) 

� Defined selectable reset status 

� 16 isolated digital inputs 24 V NAMURconforming

LabCom Mini Terminal 


LabCom is a local mini terminal for LabManager, 

LabBox, and MSRmanager systems. It provides 

access to the most important process variables right 

at the plant. LabCom is predominantly used, if the 

control PC is not in direct proximity of the plant or if it 

must be ensured that with a disturbance or a total 

failure of the control PC, most important functions for 

operating and monitoring remain ensured. 

Particularly if several LAB/PMC devices are 

attached to a control PC, it is recommended to equip 

each device with a LabCom. 

Properties and Functions 

� Local display of important process values 

� Free definable dialogue for operation 

guidance 

� Local input possibility for values and 

parameter 

� Local alarming by flashing LEDs and acoustic 

signals 

� Shutdown button starts shutdown program in 

critical situations 

� Watchdog circuit monitors the PI and alarms 

on errors 

LabCom is connected to a specially equipped serial 

interface of the Lab/PMC device and supplied with 

power from the same. 

The following structure is an example for several 

LAB/PMC devices (up to eight possible) mounted on 

an operating panel: 

The LCD display presents 4 x 20 characters and can 

be allocated with display and input fields in random 

order. Identifiers and number formats can be 

selected individually. The layout is easy and 

uncomplicated to create with a mask editor. 

The following Display Elements are designated: 

� Alphanumeric Text 

� Numeric Data Point Values 

� Date 

� Time 

Up to 16 different masks can be defined. A mask can 

be selected by using the Page-Up/ Down keys on 

the LabCom terminal or by assigning the mask 

number per program. 

LabCom is set up as a device component within the 

Lab /MSRmanager systems. This provides various 

logical inputs/outputs as data points which are 

assigned to the individual functionalities.

Watchdog Device 

The external watchdog device is a systemmonitoring 

device which is used if increased safety 

is necessary. It monitors a temperature, a further 

arbitrary sensor with a 4..20 mA signal as well as 

hard and software components of the automation 

system. 

If one of the adjustable limit values is exceeded, or 

in case of a failure of the automation system, the 

cut-off circuit of the system is interrupted via a 

potential-free switching contact and an alarm is 

sounded. 

A short circuit proof voltage for the supply of a 

sensor (e.g. pressure sensor) is available (12 V, 

max. 35 mA). 

The following conditions can be monitored: 

� Pt-100-Element for monitoring an adjustable 

safety temperature within the range 0..300 °C; 

connection via 4-pin Lemosa socket with feeler 

break recognition. 

� 4 – 20 mA input with cable-break recognition, 

monitoring of an adjustable limit value in the 

range 4-20 mA. Connection via 6-pin Tuchel 

(DIN45327) plug. To this input, any sensor can be 

attached for monitoring any physical variable, 

e.g. a pressure sensor for monitoring of an 

adjustable maximum pressure. 

� Monitoring of the automation system, 

transmission of a binary toggle signal in 1 to 9 s 

intervals via the binary output to the automation 

system, monitoring of the response from the 

automation system via a binary input. Connection 

via 5-pin 180 ° Tuchel-plug (DIN41524). 

Each monitoring condition can be activated 

individually. 

If one of these events occurs, an early warning is 

released and a built-in piezo buzzer is sounded. 

Therefore, a potential-free contact is provided for the 

control of an external signal generator. If this early 

warning is not acknowledged within an adjustable 

time (5 s – 500 s) using the “suppress”-key, the cutoff 

circuit is interrupted over an open potential-free 

contact. With the “acknowledge”-key, the alarm can 

be acknowledged. 

Safety can be further increased by building a 

switched output of the PI into the cut-off circuit and 

the PI redundantly monitors the watchdog device as 

well as the same physical parameters. 

With the help of a key, an individual alarm condition 

can be simulated in order to check the electronics.

UI-PI Coupling via Optic Cables 

With unfavourable electrical conditions like strong 

magnetic interference fields or placing of the 

transmission cable outside a data communication is 

recommended between the PI (LAB/PMC 

managers or box) and the UI (system controller) via 

fibre-optics. For distances to 50 m a less expensive 

plastic light conductor can be used. For larger 

distances up to 2000 m an optical glass-fibre cable 

is necessary. 

The module HA-V24LINK2 is attached to the 

normal RS232-UI-interface of the PI.

UI-PI Coupling via RS485 

If the distance between MSR manager and system 

controller is more than 7 m data communication 

according to the RS485 standard is recommended. 

With the help of the option RS485, distances up to 

2000 m can be bridged. 


HA-RS485 Level-converter RS485 

The level converter is attached to a normal RS232 

interface and can be used on both the UI and on the 

PI side. 

Alternatively, a RS485 interface can be built into the 

PI in place of the RS232-UI-interface. Likewise, a 

RS485 interface card can be built into the UI. In this 

case the level converters are omitted.

Simulation Devices 

Pt100 Simulator 


With this simulator, the user can check the 

measuring accuracy and function of the Pt100 and 

voltage measuring inputs. Temperatures of 0, 30, 

100, and 300 °C can be simulated. Additionally there 

is a variable adjustment possibility. The tolerance of 

the reference resistances is 0,02 %. 


HX-SIMPT1 Pt100 Simulator 

Further simulation and test control units can be found in „Training and Education Modules“. 

Digital Signal Converter 

The HiTec Zang digital signal converters convert 

analogue and digital signals into RS232 or RS485 

ModBus protocols. They can be deployed, if the 

number of measuring channels is so low that the 

deployment of a Lab-PNC is not cost-effective. 

They are also suited as interfaces for small 

HiBuilder projects, e.g. as a supplement to LabDos 

or AutoSam in case additional signals need to be 

collected or additional actors require to be activated. 

Module Overview 

In LabManager/LabVision projects, they can be 

deployed on a supplementary basis, if the sampling 

rate of the internal interfaces is not sufficient to, e.g., 

register a rapid pressure rise.

Display and Operating Elements 

A display and operation component (OC) for a HiTec 

Zang System consists of a special PC with Windows 

XP or Windows Vista operating system and 

LabVision-UI software. 

The OC, as a component of an automation system, 

must meet special requirements: 

� Uninterupted Power Supply (UPS) with Shut 

Down Interface 

� LabVision compatible UPS Management 

� EMV-robust 

� Run-In System Test 

These requirements are not met by normal office 

PCs. HiTec OCs are devices with adjusted and 

proven hardware. The devices are tested with ready 

to use, already installed software in the complete 

system before dispatch. 

The OC software LabVision is based on a database 

system, which increases the hardware requirements. 

As the database and the operating system could be 

damaged in case of a current failure, a HiTec OC is 

principally equipped with an uninterrupted power 

supply system and a UPS Management System. 

During a current failure, the system runs buffered by 

storage batteries. Before the storage battery 

capacity is used up, the system is shut down in a 

defined manner. 

The normal equipment version comprises a 

Standard UPS. This must not be deeply discharged, 

as may happen if the whole plant is switched off via 

a main switch. Should the UPS be separated from 

the net, this must be done in charged condition at 

the operator panel. If this can not be ensured, the 

Online UPS CP-USV7O should be used, which is 

equipped with a deep discharge protection. 

PC-Hardware is subject to extremely fast innovation. 

According to this fact, HiTec Zang occasionally 

adapts the models to the state of technology. For 

this reason, it does not really make sense to present 

the current devices, which will soon be out of date. 

We rather offer a selection of two devices: The 

standard version with standard equipment and 

performance according to the current state of the 

technology and a device with upscale equipment 

and performance. Details in regard to the current 

equipment are gladly forwarded upon request.

Fileserver 


We offer fileservers with Windows and Linux 

operating systems. Please request for our current 

models and specifications. 

UPS Power Supply Standard 

If the control system is intended to keep running in 

case of a power failure, an uninterrupted power 

supply (UPS) must be provided for the fileserver, 

ABKs, PIs, and, where required, for the most 

important devices of the primary instrumenting. 

To ensure controlled shutdown of the computer in 

case of electrical power outage, a UPS management 

system is required in addition. 

The Standard UPS may not be deeply discharged as 

this may occur if the plant is completely shut down 

via a main switch. If the UPS is intended to be 

disconnected from the net for a longer period, it 

must be shut down at the operator panel. If this can 

not be ensured, it is advisable to use the online 

UPS CP-USV7O.
