PROGRAMS

The HSD System Controller was designed to fully automate vacuum system operation. This unit provides outputs to actuate (7) system valves, (2) pumps and (3) user definable devices. This capacity allows "hands-off" control of pumpdown from atmosphere to high vacuum as well as control of heat, deposition, and other process equipment.

In addition to the standard pressure inputs provided, (5) inputs are available for connection to external monitoring devices, which can be used as interlocks or process control inputs. This powerful combination can provide control of a complete deposition cycle from high vacuum pumpdown to
gas inlet with shutter actuation, power application and cycle termination. 

A library of programs is available to allow control of the various pumping mechanisms in current use. The cryo program provides automated pump regeneration while the turbo program provides "fail-safe" pump venting to prevent oil back-migration. The diffusion pump program provides a shut-down sequence to allow boiler cool-down before automatic backing pump power-down.
