Device Connection:

First, install Chromeleon software, and then connect the instrument to the Chromeleon server PC. For detailed information about how to connect the system modules, refer to the operating instructions of the TCC-100.

USB Installation

For optimum performance, connect the TCC-100 to the Chromeleon server PC via USB (Universal Serial Bus). The USB installation is completely via the Chromeleon setup. The user is not required to take any other steps.

Also refer to Connecting Dionex Devices via USB.

 Caution:

Dionex recommends using the USB ports for connections to Dionex instruments only. Dionex cannot guarantee correct functioning if instruments from other manufacturers are connected.

LAN Installation

We generally recommend connecting the TCC-100 via USB  to the Chromeleon server PC. However, if this is not possible, a network connection (LAN) can be used for communication between the column compartment and Chromeleon.

For detailed information on LAN installation and recommendations on network operation please refer to the operating instructions for the TCC-100.

For additional  information on connecting the TCC-100 to a separate network interface card, refer to:

 Connecting Dionex Devices via TCP/IP

 Connecting Dionex Devices via TCP/IP: Configuring Devices (CMIPUTIL)

 Caution:  

Dionex cannot guarantee reliable communication when operating the TCC-100 on an office LAN because the load of the office LAN is a decisive factor. Overload of the office LAN may result in timeouts and loss of data and thus disturb automatic operation of Chromeleon. Therefore, we advise against operating the TCC-100 on an office LAN.
