2 Description
CU-950
CU-950 unit consists of a back panel with connectors and three indicator lamps
(LEDs) on the front. The unit is supplied with a small power converter and EU and
US mains cables. It is connected to a UNICORN workstation using the:
• USB port. The CU-950 USB is designed as a convenient solution for users running a single systems from one laptop computer. The CU-950 USB is connected via the USB interface and each UNICORN workstation can use one CU-950 USB to control one system.
• Ethernet interface, so called Advance mode. The CU-950 Advanced mode is designed for users that expect robustness in, for example, manufacturing.
The CU-950 Advanced mode is connected to the UNICORN workstation via an Ethernet network interface and operates from a designated IP address.
Up to four CU-950 can be connected enabling simultaneous control of four systems. The CU-950 Advanced mode is offered with an option to use 128
MB internal memory for improved preparedness in case of communication failures between the UNICORN workstation computer and the CU-950.
The control unit is designated its own IP-address and can be connected directly to a network switch or hub instead of a local UNICORN workstation.
USB UniNet-1 Test
Figure 2-1. CU-950 unit, front and back panel.
CU-960
The CU-960 controller card is self-contained with a separate power supply, independent of the controlling workstation. It is connected to a UNICORN workstation using the Ethernet interface. The control unit is designated its own IPaddress and can be connected directly to a network switch or hub instead of a local UNICORN workstation. The CU-960 is equivalent to the CU-950 Advanced mode with the memory option. The CU-960 has communication support for
Profibus components and is used in the ÄKTAprocess systems and other process systems.

• Power supply input
• CU-960 only: Profibus port – for system communication
• USB port – for network/controlling workstation communication (UNICORN)
– CU-960: for service use only
• Ethernet port – for network/controlling workstation communication
(UNICORN)
• UniNet-1 port – for system communication
• Test port – for service use only
CAUTION! Ensure that the CU-960 is connected to the proper power supply,
12-24 VDC 1A.

CU-960 only: Installation on ÄKTAprocess
The CU-960 is delivered pre-installed in all ÄKTAprocess systems. All necessary connections are made and tested already when the system is assembled before delivery. The unit is mounted in a rack adaptor which is mounted in the instrument rack inside the electronics cabinet of the ÄKTAprocess system, as illustrated below.
Figure 6-1. CU-960 mounted in an ÄKTAprocess system.
Note: When the CU-960 is mounted in the system cabinet the indicator LEDs may not be visible since the front of the unit is facing inwards.
WARNING! Only personnel authorized by GE Healthcare are allowed to open
the electronics cabinet of the ÄKTAprocess systems.

7 Flash memory card
The CU-960* is delivered with a 128 MB flash memory card which, depending on the UNICORN system settings, can buffer run data when the control unit is in operation, in the event of a computer failure, broken communication between the unit and workstation or a power failure. The run may proceed and data may be stored in the CU-960* flash memory until communication between the workstation and the CU-960* is re-established or the workstation is functional again. The run will continue only until the flash memory is full.
Run data is saved at intervals by UNICORN. If a power failure occurs immediately before UNICORN has saved the run data several minutes of data may be lost.
However, if selected in UNICORN, run data is saved continuously on the flash memory card and the data will be saved up to the time when the CU-960* lost its power. When power is restored, the run data may be retrieved.
* The CU-950 can also be equipped with a flash memory card and be configured for
Advanced mode.

CU-960 only: Installation on ÄKTAready
Connection from the system computer to the internal control unit CU-960 is made by the water proof RJ45 connector placed in the bottom of the main cabinet
(VS-08-A-RJ45/MOD-1-IP67 + VS-08-BU-RJ45-5-F/BU). It is absolutely necessary from an EMC perspective to connect this connector shielding to the cabinet using either copper tape or the small sheet-metal shroud developed in the project.
The mating connector cable assembly needs to have the matching water proof plug type provided by Phoenix. (VS-08-RJ45-5-Q/IP67) to maintain IP67. Suitable mating cable assembly is described in assembly drawing 14001358 (part number
28-4022-13) and is supplied with the system in the accessory-kit.
Note: The internal LAN cable is a cross-over type!
If the system is connected to a switch/hub, a cross-over cable must be connected in series with a cable provided by GE Healthcare, part number 28-4022-13.
