Frequently Asked Questions

How many micropumps can be driven by the mp-Multiboard2?

The mp-Multiboard2 can control up to six micropumps. It supports up to three pump drivers in combination:

  • mp-Driver (controls one micropump)
  • mp-Lowdriver (controls one micropump) OR mp-Highdriver (controls one micropump)
  • mp-Highdriver4 (controls up to four micropumps).

Since a micropump cannot be operated without a driver, the Multiboard2 must always be used together with a suitable driver module.
