Description
The scorpION3 CI (Computer Interface) was designed to allow multiple ion bar systems to be connected
and controlled from a single personal computer through dedicated hardware. This connection allows ion
bar performance and settings to be monitored, configured and diagnosed. The computer interface contin-
uously polls the condition, settings and diagnostic information of connected ion bars. Using this device
allows the construction of a scorpION3 network consisting of multiple CI units each with multiple ion bars
connected.
Each CI supports up to 10 connected ion bars on a dedicated scorpION3 communication / power distri-
bution bus. Multiple CI's can be 'networked' via a true RS-485 communication bus used to supplying data
to a PC. Ethernet capable models convert the RS-485 bus to Ethernet allowing
connection of multiple systems via a single IP address. This architecture allows calibration and monitoring
of scorpION3 based systems. The computer interface also provides a user interface, which provides an
auxiliary power input and relay contacts for system level fault detection.
