Getinge PACS Programming

EXIT MANUAL

The letters PACS stand for Programmable Autoclave Control System. The object of the control system is to produce command s and transmit

these to the sterilizer components enabling for a number of sterilization processes to be accomplished in accordance with a predicted pattern. The command signals are generated by the control unit comput er program in combination with measurements of the process paramete r values. The latter consist mainly of times, temperatures and pressures.

Various equipment can be connected to the control unit for programming, monitoring and recording the sterilization processes.

The operator communicates with the control unit via a control p anel or a standard PC (OPC). The control panel is available in the versions OP1 and OP2, where OP1 is the smallest type and consists of two door operation keys and eight sig nal light diodes onl y.

The OP2 panel has a 102 x 25 mm LCD, six program selector keys, signal lights and up-dow n and right-left keys to display desir ed information in preprogramm ed windows. Programm ing can also be done by means of the OP2, but this is limited to numeral values. The OP2 panel is mainly designed for entering operator adjustable parameters.

There are connection ports in the PACS 2000 all owing a maximum of two OP1s, two OP2s or one of each. Simultaneously with this combination, OPC can be connected , but only on e of all these can be the commanding unit at a time.

All operating panel s are made for monitoring the pro c esses by displaying any set parameter value as well as current values on request. All relevant data associated with a particular process such as batch No., operator No., date, etc., may be entered by the operator using OPC.

Documentation of programs, system definitions and process data can be made by connecting a printer to OPC. A host computer can also be connected direct to the co ntrol unit CPU.

Where the demand requires a measuring an d monito ring system, co mpletely indepen de n t o f t h e control system, a PA CS SUPERVISOR system may be connected. This con tains a CPU, OP2 an d interfaces wi th the CPU of the sterilizer control unit. The SUPERVISOR measurements are made by its own separate temperature and pressure sensors.

The computer contains a program for automatic calibration of temperature and pressure transducers. Alternatively correction constants, when known, may be entered manually. Among PACS 2000 test fu nctions there are facilities for activating analog and digital outputs and monitoring analog and digital inputs. With OPC or OPH, up to 16 service alarms, flagged as display codes, can be programmed, based either upon operation tim e in hours or number of ste rilizing c ycles. In bo th cases th e maximum programmable d igits are 9999. Service a larms are displayed also by OP2, but this panel will not allow for programming of these.

The hardware of the steri lizer control system contains the operating panels easily locate in a suitable place. The CPU and po wer pack are

Description of terms

STERILIZATION means the whole series of treatments to form a process in order to attain total killing of all viable organisms. This is in connection with autoclaves usually made up by air removal, heat treatment and a drying phase.

STERILIZING means the actual killin g part, th e heat treatmen t, of the total process.

Analogous to the two expressions above, STERILIZATION TIME means the durability of the total process from the start until the goods can be unloaded. PROCESS TIME is equal to sterilization time.

STERILIZING TIME represents that part of the process on ly during which the programmed STERILIZING TEMPERATURE prevails in the chamber.

EXIT MANUAL

PARAMETER in this context means the ELEMENTS WHICH INFLUENCE the sterilization course. Examples of parameters in the sterilization process are temperature, pressure, time, gas concentration, etc. The PARAMETER VALUES may be fixed in the program or operator adjustable.

-VALUE is a time defined by the equ ation

k1–

()

------------------k

∫

t = Time in minutes

T(t) =

= Constant within the range 0.0 - 150.0 oC. Usually 121.1 oC

= Constant withi n the range 0.0 - 99.9 oC. Usually 10.0 oC

The F

Load temperature at time t

. value is based upon the sterilizing time, required for the temper-

ature prevailing in each moment, being recalculated to the base temperature for steam sterilization, 121.1

The use of F

value is most common in the pharmaceutical field, where

often the time control of sterilization processes is based upon this value, thereby utilizing t he heat appl ied du ring heat ing u p and cooli ng down . By this method, heat sensitive products do not need to be exposed to high temperatures for a longer period of time than required in obtaining a sterile result.

OP C

EXIT MANUAL

OP C is a standard IBM compatible PC with DOS and with backup utilities on hard disk and flop py. OP C is intend ed to be used for progra m development. The menu tree includes menus for loading data on diskette or hard disk. OP C communicates with the PACS 2000 via a standard RS232 serial interface connected as COM1. COM2, if installed, may be used for connecting a printer or a PROM programmer. In Local mode it is possible to run the program without any PACS connected.

OP H

OP His identical to OP C with the extension that it can be connected to a network includ ing more than one PAC S. OP H communicates wi th the PACS 2000 via a standard RS485 serial interface. OP H is communicating with one PACS at a time.

The number of AO shown in scrollable form is defined of how many AO-modules are specified in SYSTEM CONF IGURATION menu. Each module contains 2 channels. A maximum of 4 AO-modules can be specified i. e. 8 channels.

MODE fields specify whether the output is in AUTO or MANUAL mode. Operator can, when in these fields, toggle between the two alternatives using the SPACE bar.

In the SET field the operator can specify the value to which the output should be set. Limits for the value field is 0.0 - 100.0%. Note that MANUAL mode must be selected, otherwise SET will be ignored by PACS.

Definition:

The plot picture can contain up to six signals and two y-axis.

Y-AXIS DEFINITION

Two Y-axis can be defined, A and B. An Y-axis is defined by unit, low value and high value.

Unit is specified via a choice list where t he operator can choose between C/F, BAR/kPa/PSI, % and F0. The unit for temperature and

EXIT MANUAL

pressure is depending on selections made in the SYSTEM CONFIGURATION menu.

Formats and limits for high and low values are determined by the active unit.

UNIT FORMAT RANGE

C xxx.x 0.0 - 999.9

F xxx.x 0.0 - 999.9

BAR x.xxx 0.000 - 9.999

Print summary

An Y-axis is as activated if the value in high is greater than that in low. If Y-axis A i s no t a c t iv a ted it wi l l n ot be sh ow n. If Y-axis B is not

activated it is shown unmarked.

PLOT SIGNAL DEFINITION

Process picture signals are specified via a two step choice list where the operator can c hoose b etw een d efi ned AI, AO , F0, C P, DF an d TP fu nctions.

Y-AXIS defines which Y-ax is a signal is related to. The operator can toggle between the alternatives A/B with SPACE when in thes e fi elds.
