If parameters are sent to a pump different from pump 0, there is
generated a warning 10 and the parameters are discarded.
Please note that in parallel mode the calibration is NOT a common
data. The pumps will still have to be calibrated individually to cope
with differences in the tubes, positioning of the tubes in the pump
head – etc. The MC100 will take care of sending the parameters
from pump 0 to all the connected enabled pumps.
If pumps of different types are not disabled in parallel/serial mode
before changing to serial mode Alarm 08 is generated.
Serial mode Serial mode requires that all pumps not disabled are of the same
type, i.e. PD12 or PD22 or GD30.
In serial mode the virtual pump 0 is used to hold common
parameters for all the enabled pumps.
In serial mode the common data are:
• Volume
• Pump speed
• Acceleration
• Density
• Calibration
Please note that in serial mode the tube size is NOT a common
data.
When parameters are sent to the MC100 in serial mode the
MC100 takes all parameters EXCEPT tube-size when sent to
pump 0 and ONLY the tube size when sent to a pump number
different from 0.
In serial mode the filling volume is divided to the enabled pumps
based on the individual tube sizes. The MC100 do a calculation, so
the distance the pumps runs are the same independent of the tube
size. I.e. if the tube sizes are different in the enabled pumps the
filling volumes from these pumps will also be different.
If the enabled pumps are using the same tube size the filling
volume will be divided equally between the pumps. Calibrations for
all the pumps are carried out by calibrating pump 0.
If pumps of different types are not disabled in parallel/serial mode
before changing to serial mode Alarm 08 is generated.

If operation mode 0 is selected nothing will be changed in the
setup.
