Flow Control Software

Description

Flow Control Software – the dosing upgrade for your mp-Multiboard2

The mp-Multiboard2 comes with the option to unlock additional functions for more possible applications. The “Flow Control” section in Bartels FluidicStudio (formerly the mp-Multiboard2 App which is now discontinued) is one of those and adds the possibility to have a Bartels Pump | BP7 be regulated by a flow sensor. The Software package in combination with the right liquid flow sensor is a small but intelligent dosing system. It allows flow rates to be set with the highest level of precision for different fluids – whatever the temperature or viscosity.

The Flow Control Software package is an optional add-on to the Bartels FluidicStudio. With this software, you can set the desired flow rate for the system. Then, the software automatically chooses the right parameters to reach this flow rate quickly and accurately.

Within the Flow Control Software, you have the opportunity to dose either higher or lower flow rates:

• The high flow rates range anywhere from 0.5 – 8 ml/min. To properly dose within this range, you need the liquid flow sensor SLF3s-1300F by our partner Sensirion as well as the Bartels Pump | BP7 and the mp-Multiboard2.
• The lower flow rates range from 0.005 -1 ml/min. In this case, you require a the Sensirion SLF3s-0600F liquid flow sensor in addition to the micropump and evaluation board.

Our goal with this software extension is to increase the functionality of the systems centred around the mp-Multiboard2. With new applications the sky’s the limit. Our experts at Bartels will be pleased to help you turn your innovative ideas into a marketable solution! Just contact us.

How to add-on the flow control software package

The Flow Control Software package is an add-on to the Bartels FluidicStudio. It is an additional tab in the software interface that you can unlock.

You already have the mp-Multiboard2? Then you simply need to update your software to the newest version (you can find it in on download area). After that, you click on the “Flow Control” tab (in our discontinued mp-Multiboard2 App the “Regulation” tab) and follow the instructions on the screen. Please note that you need to have the Bartels Pump | BP7 and the flow sensor suitable for the desired flow rate. Otherwise, the software add-on cannot function properly.

You don’t have the mp-Multiboard2 yet? No problem. We have specifically created a bundle with the software and all the components needed. Just head over to the Flow Control Software Kit.
