IC Control
Controlling an ICS-1000/1500/2000 or ICS-1100/1600/2100 Ion Chromatography System

Commands for controlling the ICS-1000/1500/2000 or ICS-1100/1600/2100 can be included in a Program (see the examples below), or executed directly from either the Control Panel or the Commands dialog box (select Command… on the Control menu). For a list and description of the commands used most often, refer to Commands for Controlling Dionex Devices  ICS-1000/1500/2000 or ICS-1100/1600/2100 Ion Chromatography System. Also see the Commands dialog box for a complete list of commands.

The following programs are created with the Program Wizard (see The Control Program  The Program Wizard).

Program for an ICS-1000 or ICS-1100:

 

 

Pump_ECD.Pressure.LowerLimit =

200

 

Pump_ECD.Pressure.UpperLimit =

3000

 

Pump_ECD.%A.Equate =

"%A"

 

Pump_InjectValve.LoadPosition

 

 

Pump_ECD.Data_Collection_Rate =

5.0

 

Pump_ECD.CellTemperature =

35.0

 

Pump_ECD.ColumnTemperature =

30.0

 

Suppressor_Type =

AAES

 

; Carbonate =

3.5

 

; Bicarbonate =

1.0

 

; Hydroxide =

0.0

 

; Recommended Current =

33

 

Suppressor_Current =

33

 

Pump_ECD.Flow =

1.20

-2.300

Pump_ECD_Relay_1.Closed

Duration=138.00

 

; For AS40 injection. Replace this line with the following for manual injection

 

 

;-0.100 Message "Load the sample into the injection loop, press OK to continue"

 

0.000

Pump_ECD.Autozero

 

 

ECD_1.AcqOn

 

 

Pump_InjectValve.InjectPosition

Duration=30.00

15.000

ECD_1.AcqOff

 

 

End

 

 

 Note:

The program above assumes that the TTL output on the ICS-1000 or ICS-1100 is connected to the AS40’s Load Relay. For connection details, refer to the operator’s manuals for the AS40 and the ICS-1000 or ICS-1100.

Program for an ICS-2000 or ICS-2100:

 

 

Pump_ECD.Pressure.LowerLimit =

200

 

Pump_ECD.Pressure.UpperLimit =

3000

 

Pump_ECD.%A.Equate =

"%A"

 

Pump_InjectValve.LoadPosition

 

 

Pump_ECD.Data_Collection_Rate =

5.0

 

Pump_ECD.CellTemperature =

35.0

 

Pump_ECD.ColumnTemperature =

30.0

 

Suppressor_Type =

ASRS_4mm

 

; Carbonate =

0.0

 

; Bicarbonate =

0.0

 

; Hydroxide =

12.0

 

; Tetraborate =

0.0

 

; Other eluent =

0.0

 

; Recommended Current =

30

 

Suppressor_Current =

30

Pump_ECD_Relay_1.Closed

Duration=138.00

 

; For AS40 injection. Replace this line with the following for manual injection

 

 

;-0.100 Message "Load the sample into the injection loop, press OK to continue"

 

0.000

Pump_ECD.Autozero

 

 

ECD_1.AcqOn

 

 

Pump_InjectValve.InjectPosition

Duration=60.00

15.000

ECD_1.AcqOff

 

 

End

 

 

 Note:

The program above assumes that the TTL output on the ICS-2000 or ICS-2100 is connected to the AS40’s Load Relay. For connection details, refer to the operator’s manuals for the AS40 and the ICS-2000 or ICS-2100.
