摘要:
An arrangement, system and process for producing desired products (1) in at least one decentralized automated process system (3), which processes starting materials (2) provided therefor into the respective product (1) in accordance with formulation data (25) that are input into the process system (3). The process system (3) is connected to a remote central computational device (28) via a communications medium (27). An input device (22), which is also connected to the communications medium (27), serves for inputting a product selection (37), whereby the central computational device (28) obtains, according to the received product selection (37), the formulation data (25) that is necessary for producing the desired product (1), or conveys this formulation data to the process system. The formulation data are obtained from a formulation data collection for the automated process system (3). Each production process of the products (1) is logged with regard to quantity and quality-relevant process data (13′) in the central computational device (28).
摘要:
To monitor functions in a micro-fluidic system having mutually similar parallel fluid paths, sensors (7) are assigned to the individual fluid paths (5) at the same respective locations, in order to measure a physical parameter that is influenced by the fluid stream in the fluid paths (5). The sensors (7) are connected to an evaluation device (10), which diagnoses a change in the operating state of the micro-fluidic system based on the differences in the parameters measured by the sensors (7).

摘要:
A system for carrying out the automated processing of fluids. The system has combinable and interchangeable process modules (38, 39, 40), which each contain a control unit (6) and a fluid unit (7) that can be controlled by the control unit in order to execute a module-specific process function. The control units (6) are interconnected via a data bus (10) which is shared by process modules (38, 39, 40), and the fluid units (7) are interconnected via a fluid bus (44) having a number of channels (45). The configuration of at least one portion of the channels (45) of the fluid buses (44) can be varied in the areas of their respective connection to the fluid units (7) by using configuration devices, which can be provided in the form of adapters (41, 42, 43) located between the process modules (38, 39, 40) and the fluid bus (44).
摘要:
A system for automated treatment of fluids having interchangeable process modules (39, 40, 41, 42, 43), which are arranged next to each other, and which are respectively provided with a control unit and a fluid unit. The fluid unit is controlled by the control unit in order to carry out a module-specific process function during the treatment of the fluids. The control units are interconnected via a data bus (48), which is common to the process modules (39, 40, 41, 42, 43), and the fluid units are interconnected by a fluid bus (49) that has several channels. A fluid bus section is provided for at least one part of the channels inside each process module (e.g., 42). This section has fluid bus interfaces (52) at the ends thereof. A connection unit (51) is configured to be mounted between the respectively adjacent fluid bus interfaces (52) of two successive process modules (e.g., 41, 42) in at least two different mounting positions. The connection unit (51) connects channel sections that terminate at the adjacent fluid bus interfaces (52) of both process modules (41, 42) in a series of different configurations.
