This module provides a lot of functionality in a small package. With both
rough and high vacuum sensors, integrated electronics, and built-in digital
display, all that is required for basic operation is that it be provided with DC
power of suitable voltage, current capacity, and quality (requirements are in
the manual, available on-line; see comments later in this
description).
Many of the common operations - including ionization gauge
on/off and degas, Conductron calibration, and configuration of set points - may
be carried out through the local user interface of push buttons and LED display.
For partial remote control, some common operations can also be carried out
through use of simple electrical inputs; trip point relays and analog output are
available for system control and remote reading/logging of the pressure. The
RS-485 interface is available for comprehensive operation of the whole
package.
A data sheet for this module is available in .PDF format from
the Brooks Automation web site, on their literature page as "Granville-Phillips
Series 356 Micro-IonPlus Module". The full
manual is also available from them in .PDF format, under Support-->Literature
Library-->Manuals-->Module Manuals, "356 Micro-Ion Plus Vacuum Gauge
Module with Analog RS-485 Interface Installation Operation (356007)". Should you
be interested in looking at either or both of these, and have any difficulty
locating the files, then please contact us. We'd be happy to help.
