Abstract
A module (10-1 to 10-n) for a liquid chromatograph that is incorporated in a liquid chromatograph (1) and performs information communication with a controller (20) of the liquid chromatograph (1). The module (10-1 to 10-n) includes an assignment requesting part (MF1) configured to transmit, when the module is an unassigned module (10-n) that is a module to which an identifier for communication with the controller (20) is not assigned, an assignment request for the identifier for automatically assigning the identifier to the controller (20) only when request permission is given.
Claims9
A module for a liquid chromatograph that is incorporated in a liquid chromatograph and performs information communication with a controller of the liquid chromatograph, the module comprising:
- an assignment requesting part configured to transmit, when the module is an unassigned module that is a module to which an identifier for communication with the controller is not assigned, an assignment request for the identifier for automatically assigning the identifier to the controller only when request permission is given.
A controller for a liquid chromatograph that performs information communication with an assigned module that is a module to which an identifier is assigned,
- the controller comprising:
- a server part for automatically assigning the identifier to an unassigned module in response to an assignment request from the unassigned module, the unassigned module being a module to which the identifier is not assigned;
- and
- a request permission part that gives request permission for execution of assignment of an identifier to the unassigned module, wherein
- in a case where the unassigned module is present, assignment of an identifier to the unassigned module by the server part is executed only when the request permission is given from the request permission part to the unassigned module.
A liquid chromatograph including one or more modules and a controller that performs information communication with an assigned module that is the module to which an identifier is assigned, wherein
- the controller includes:
- a server part for automatically assigning an identifier to an unassigned module in response to an assignment request from the unassigned module, the unassigned module being a module to which no identifier is assigned;
- and
- a request permission part that gives request permission for execution of assignment of an identifier to the unassigned module,
- the module includes:
- an assignment requesting part configured to transmit an assignment request for the identifier to the server part only when the request permission is given from the controller when the module is the unassigned module, and
- in a case where the unassigned module is present, assignment of an identifier to the unassigned module is executed only when the request permission is given from the controller to the unassigned module.
