The EpiTech SmartSystem Controller is the most advanced, feature-rich system controller available

With the SmartSystem controller, you can run your MBE using a laptop. The only hardware you need is an Ethernet port since the SmartSystem Controller communicates with modern control software using MODBUS TCP. The SmartSystem Controller is completely configurable using an intuitive touchscreen interface, allowing the user to add and remove equipment, and easily create rules and interlocks for the equipment.

Usability is always a concern when designing EpiTech products, so we designed the SmartSystem controller to allow the naming of all inputs and outputs. In addition, all outputs can be placed in a local state, preventing unwanted changes triggered by control software or recipes. The user has complete control over the operation of their equipment and by allowing the naming of all IO, the user can more quickly and more easily understand the state of their machine.

• Create your own interlocks to change the value of any output based on the value of any input or combination of inputs. Tailor the interlock behavior with adjustable delay and latching options

• Create your own rules for limiting the changing of any output depending on the value of any input or combination of inputs

• Create your own recipes, with up to 32 steps, where each step can change the state of any output and can end in a fixed amount of time, or can depend on the value of any input, or user intervention. Steps can be looped to easily create repeating sequences.

• Quickly and easily install and protect new equipment.

• Automate pump down and venting routines.

• Automate cryopump regeneration
