Can anyone help in resurrecting an old Gilson HPLC?
you can use 232 or 485, and that way send strings, characters, etc. We have used it on a plethora of different devices, from xy gantry motion to controlling chromatographs.

Paul, It may be easier to connect directly to some of the actuators and supply voltage/current from a programmable controller, rahter than try to make some of the old electronic stuff work. Usually, the mechanicals are good and problems lie in the electronics or software. I recently revived an Instron mechanical tester that way. I used the DAQ2GO and its controlled power supply to drive the unit (controlled power to the motor directly) and (reading the pulses from the encoder) controlled its speed. Look for the inputs to the various actuators and, as needed, replace their stuff with stuff you can control and communicate with.

Do you have the interface requirements for commands to the Gilson autosampler and syringe pump? I have connected to the serial port but do not know what commands it sends or expects to receive. I have the equipment but no manuals. On line manuals only refer to connect to their controller and do not explain what is being sent back and forth.

We have been using rs232 and 485 communication, as well as the analog and digital ports, all with DAQ2GO. This lets us control all the modules and take data, too. The DAQ2GO serves to completely replace controllers and electronics associated with data taking. I gave a couple of papers on this topic at ACS meetings this past year. Email me privately for some details, if you like, at drivers-seat@juno.com, for details and other examples.

You might see what the communication requirements are for the system, and then decide if you can use any of the following strategies: If you can run the pumps from an analog input, and the detector has an anolog output, then you can use a board like the Lawson Labs 301 or 302. These boards are suitable for chromatographic applications, since they are high resolution, can take and transmit data, are usb compatible, and communicate directly with Excel.

I am faced with a similar problem and am busy making a new digital controller board for the Gilson 302. It will mimic the original one in terms of driving the pump motor, but interface via an RS-485 network with no proprietary hardware, security keys, etc. If anyone is interested in details, just contact me.

I have not been able to complete this project because I graduated from that university and have moved to another one. I would contact Scott Abbott for more information.

Thank you Scott. I have looked up the DAC2GO you mentioned and it looks like a nice solution. I have also found some manuals by looking up Gilson GSIOC and it gives some of the command structures. The DAC2GO may still be the easiest interface even if I communicate using gilson commands.

Dear Dr.Hugo. I saw your correspondence, here at ResearhGate, regarding the old Gilson HPLC. We have the same situation - good condition hardware (base on Gilson 306 series pump) without software. Could you send me the Gilson`s software files that would revitalize the equipment? My email is maer@ibpm.pushchino.ru Sicerely Yours, Sergey Mayorov
