GSIOC Port

Gilson systems feature a two-way communication interface between the computer and most Gilson modules. Communication occurs along the Gilson Serial Input/Output Channel (GSIOC).

The liquid handler can convert the RS-232 signal levels used by computers to the RS-422/485 signal levels required by the GSIOC and vice versa. (See page 2-19for information on making the RS-232 connection between the liquid handler and computer.)

GSIOC cable

Use the GSIOC cable to link an additional Gilson GSIOC module to the liquid handler and control both devices via a program executed on the computer.

Connect the female connector, located individually at one end of the cable, into the GSIOC port of the liquid handler. Tighten the retaining screws. (Refer to diagram below.)

Connect the other female connector, located on the same end as the male connector, to the Gilson module. Tighten the retaining screws.

If you’re connecting another Gilson module, use the male connector to join another GSIOC cable and make the necessary connection to the next Gilson module.
