Tecan - Cavro XCalibur Pump
Compact high performance 30mm stroke OEM syringe pump
The pump’s hardware and firmware automatically detect the communication interface (RS 232, RS 485, or CAN) and communication protocol (OEM, Data Terminal). The user can also reconfigure the pump to run different valve types and at different baud rates. The Cavro XCalibur Pump provides two digital inputs and three outputs for TTL level signals that can be used for synchronization with external devices. Multi-pump communication is possible through RS 485 or CAN interface, addressing up to 15 modules through a single communication bus.
The Cavro XCalibur Pump family of products is UL recognized (standard UL61010A-1) and bears the UL designation label.
