1. Outline of PCAS

This chapter gives an outline of PCAS and explains basic inf ormation that needs to be known before beginning operation.

■ What is an Analyzer Server?

An analyzer server is a system consisting of PC software (PCAS) for managing the netw ork of an analyzer bus and saving the data of GC1000 Mark II and analyzer b us system interface unit (ASIU).

■ Features of the Analyzer Server

The analyzer server makes maintenance of analyzers simple because data such as concentration values, alarms, and chromatogr aphs can be continuously sav ed f or connected analyzers (GC1000 Mark II and ASIU)

The data of up to 64 analyzers can be managed on one analyzer server that runs on a general-purpose Windows PC . Furthermore, up to 14 analyzer servers can be operated on the same network.

The analyzer server has functions for monitoring network status and keeping consistency among multiple servers. A highly reliab le system can also be built b y using a dual redundant network configuration.

■ Outline of Screens

PCAS has the following screens . F or details, ref er to chapters 3 to 7.

● Status Screen

This screen is for displa ying a list of the communication connection status of all registered analyzers.

● Maintenance Screen

This screen is for uploading and downloading the parameters of analyz ers, changing the communication status of the server, etc.

● Builder Screen

This screen is for displaying and configuring parameters required b y the system. The storage periods for data can also be set in this screen.

● Network Monitoring Screen

This screen is for monitoring the network status of the analyzer bus.

● Alarm Screen

This screen is for displa ying alarms generated on PCAS. The alarm history can also be displayed.

■ Explanation of T erms

● Server Equalization

This is the process of specifying any two servers (PCAS) when there are multiple servers on the same network and copying and backing up all the inf ormation of one server onto the other server.

● Primary Server and Secondary Server

The term primary server is used for the server that is the equalization source and the term secondary server is used for the server that is the equalization destination.

● Electronic Message

This is the packet used f or communication e xchange between an analyz er and the server .

● Filter

This is a means of displaying only necessary/unnecessary electronic messages in the Network Monitoring screen.

● Server Communication Status

This is the term used when indicating communication is permitted or no connection is possible.

● Memory Dump

This is the operation of the server acquiring the internal information of an analyzer in binary format.
