Abstract
A process and/or a bioreactor control system for controlling a bioreactor. The bioreactor control system includes a bioreactor, a sensor, an electronic card, and a bioreactor controller. The sensor is proximate to the bioreactor and configured to generate a signal indicative of an operating condition of the bioreactor. The signal is then transmitted to the electronic card. Receiving the signal, the electronic card processes the signal to generate a converted signal. The converted signal is then transmitted to the bioreactor controller. The bioreactor controller, in turn, processes the converted signal and generates a control signal to modify the operating condition of the bioreactor.
Claims9
A process for controlling a bioreactor comprising:
- generating a signal indicative of an operating condition of a bioreactor at a sensor proximate to the bioreactor;
- receiving and processing the signal at an electronic card;
- generating a converted signal based on the received and processed signal;
- receiving and processing the converted signal by a bioreactor controller in communication with the electronic card;
- generating a control signal at the bioreactor controller;
- modifying the operating condition of the bioreactor based on the control signal;
- generating a second signal indicative of a second operating condition of the bioreactor at a second sensor proximate to the bioreactor;
- receiving and processing the second signal at a second electronic card
- generating a second converted signal based on the received and processed second signal;
- aggregating the converted signal and the second converted signal at a signal aggregator;
- generating an aggregated signal based on the converted and second converted signals;
- and
- receiving and processing the aggregated signal by the bioreactor controller.
