INTRODUCTION

The Applikon autoclavable MiniBio Reactor Systems basically consist of the following parts:
• an autoclavable MiniBio Reactor with the appropriate auxiliaries such as a stirrer assembly, sensors, an
aeration assembly, etc.
• a my-Control bio controller for measurement and control of process variables (like pH, temperature, DO,
level and stirrer speed) with corresponding controller outputs in order to keep process conditions at set
point.
The my-Control combines and supports actuators like pumps, mass flow controllers and valves in order to
optimize the use of limited bench space.
Typical characteristics of the my-Control with the MiniBio Reactor Systems:
• Easy setup and operation
• Cultivate using a small amount of medium
• Generation of scalable results
• Easy data handling

THE USER INTERFACE

Through a network that is connected to the my-Control (TCP/IP communication), different kind of devices
can be used as a User Interface (UI). Since the my-Control is addressed by using its IP address, the User
Interface is also called the Web UI.
Examples:
Web UI Device Type
PC
Tablet
Smartphone
The my-Control is addressed by using its IP-address.
Start the Internet Browser at the WebUI-device and surf to the following address: http://IP-address*/. The
my-Control WebUI will be displayed.
*The IP-address of the my-Control. The my-Control comes with a preset IP-address. This address can
easily be customized. Refer to the section on customizing the IP address and to Appendix A in the
Software Reference Manual.
Refer to Appendix D of the software manual in order to prevent instabilities in the network connection
when the my-Control is the only controller directly connected to its controlling PC.
Internet Explorer IE11 and Google Chrome are supported as Internet browsers.
When working on a PC with Windows 10, IE11 can be started through the Accessories.
Press >
After switching on the power of the my-Control and invoking the Web Interface through the Internet
browser on the PC, the my-Control displays its Home Screen (see next page).
In this Hardware Manual, it is assumed that a PC is used as Web UI (my-Control is operated with mouse-
clicks).
