Drivers For Palltronic Filter Integrity Test Instruments
•Datasheet: Drivers For Palltronic Filter Integrity Test Instruments
Within the pharmaceutical industry there is a growing use of automated manufacturing techniques, electronic signatures and storage of critical batch records. In order to help satisfy the industry's needs for more centralized control, Pall has developed a range of drivers for Palltronic® Integrity Test Instruments.
Description
Drivers for the Palltronic filter integrity test instruments enable a PLC to remotely control the integrity test device. The Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) can initiate a self test or filter test and when completed, the Palltronic device transmits the test result, the device serial number and other information back to the PLC. This information can then be stored in a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system using the data received by the PLC to form part of a comprehensive batch record.
A standard package includes: driver software supplied on CD-ROM, full installation instructions and a 2 m (26 ft) communications cable between the PLC and integrity test device. Standard drivers are available for Siemens, Mitsubishi and Allen Bradley PLCs. Drivers for other PLC manufacturers can be developed on request.
The software has been developed and tested according to the latest GAMP guidelines.
Features and Benefits
- Process automization can minimize operator involvement, saving time and reducing errors
- Integrity test results can easily be incorporated into batch records and stored centrally on the PLC or SCADA system
- Full integration of the Palltronic device into the normal operation of the plant allows control of the test device from outside critical or difficult-to-access areas
- The PLC or SCADA system can be configured to be compliant with 21 CFR 11 Part 11 when storing test results
