APG Remote Interface

The APG Remote connector serves as the interface between the Agilent 1260
Infinity and other Agilent (APG remote compatible) products. It may be used
in combination with other analytical instruments from Agilent Technologies if
you want to use features as common shut down, prepare, and so on.
Remote control allows easy connection between single instruments or systems
to ensure coordinated analysis with simple coupling requirements.
The subminiature D connector is used. The module provides one remote
connector which is inputs/outputs (wired-or technique).
To provide maximum safety within a distributed analysis system, one line is
dedicated to SHUT DOWN the system's critical parts in case any module
detects a serious problem. To detect whether all participating modules are
switched on or properly powered, one line is defined to summarize the
POWER ON state of all connected modules. Control of analysis is maintained
by signal readiness READY for next analysis, followed by START of run and
optional STOP of run triggered on the respective lines. In addition PREPARE
and START REQUEST may be issued. The signal level are defined as:
• standard TTL levels (0 V is logic true, + 5 V is false)
• fan-out is 10,
• input load is 2.2 kOhm against + 5 V, and
• output are open collector type, inputs/outputs (wired-or technique).
