V-Control
Applikon V-Control is the scalable DeltaV™ solution for bioreactors
V-Control provides the well known DeltaV applications used widely in Life Sciences automation, but in a smaller footprint and at a reduced cost.
Turnkey Applikon V-Control solution
With the combination of Emerson’s DeltaV Discovery and the Applikon local process controllers, you can:
- Reduce your DeltaV benchtop footprint with workstation-based DeltaV and Applikon local process controllers
- Accurately control and reduce variability in key process parameters such as pH, dissolved oxygen, temperature, and pressure while maintaining the flexibility needed in R&D
- Record and analyze process parameters with an embedded historian that simplifies real-time data collection and analysis
- Interact with your laboratory applications using a familiar DeltaV operator user interface
- Log process alarms and operating events with an integrated alarms and events historian
- Easily integrate process measurements and other data sources with DeltaV Ethernet communications using OPC, Modbus, and Ethernet IP
- Control up to 32 bioreactors from one Appli-V server
- Add DeltaV’s powerful batch control and event history modules for a comprehensive lab system and easily transfer lab processes to production systems
Features
- Open Software and Hardware solution
- Capability to be added to an existing system
- Standardized automation software can be customized to meet
customer requirements - Can interact between commercial production and process development
Getinge Applikon and Emerson Automation Solutions have taken these developments to the next level by introducing V-Control.
To overcome the scale-up challenges and to improve the product life cycle management, Applikon Biotechnology and Emerson Automation Solutions developed V-Control to decrease investment costs and to reduce the time-to-market. V-Control combines scalable bioreactors from 250 mL up to 6000 L with DeltaVTM automation software as the sole solution from Discovery up to Production for process control and data integration.
V-Control is developed by Applikon and Emerson and is combining knowledge and experience of both companies into the scalable DeltaVTM solution for bioreactors.
V-Control comes in different hardware versions:
- V-Control for R&D
- V-Control for Pilot & Production
