Centrifugal separator with first and second control panels

A centrifugal separator comprising:

• a rotator part that separates a liquid sample, the rotator part including a rotor and a drive part, the rotor receiving a liquid sample therein and rotating to separate the liquid sample, the drive part driving the rotor to rotate;
• a controller part that controls operations of the rotator part so that the drive part rotates the rotor to separate the liquid sample;
• a first control panel coupled to the controller part and disposed at a position proximate to the rotator part for at least controlling actual operation of the rotator part via the controller part;
• and
• a second control panel coupled to the controller part and disposed at a position remote from the rotator part for at least controlling actual operation of the rotator part via the controller part;
• wherein the controller part is responsive to both of the first and second control panels for operating the drive part in accordance therewith;
• wherein the first control panel includes at least one of a first operating part and a first display part, the first operating part enabling a user to set operating conditions for the rotator part, the first display part displaying the operating conditions set at the first operating part and an operating status of the rotator part;
• and
• wherein the second control panel includes a second operating part enabling the user to set operating conditions for the rotator part, the first display part displaying the operating conditions set at the second operating part;
• and
• wherein the second control panel further includes a second display part that displays operating conditions for the rotator part set at the first operating part and the second operating part.

A centrifugal separator comprising:

• a casing;
• a rotor installed in the casing and adapted to hold a liquid sample;
• a driving unit that rotates the rotor;
• a controller that controls operating conditions of the rotor;
• a first control panel coupled to the controller and located on the casing, the first control panel including a first operating part to set operating conditions of the rotor and a first display part;
• and
• a second control panel coupled to the controller and located at a position remote from the casing, the second control panel including a second operating part to set operating conditions of the rotor and a second display part;
• wherein the first display part displays the operating conditions set at the first and the second operating parts, and second display part displays the operating conditions set at the first and the second operating parts.
