SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATED TREATMENT OF FLUIDS WITH INTERCHANGEABLE PROCESS MODULES ARRANGED NEXT TO EACH OTHER

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-s...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	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.
