Control system architecture. Modules are connected to pressure supply, power supply and master controller in a bus-like / daisy-chain fashion to minimize the number of connections that must cross the hot-cell boundary. Each module contains a small amount of communication circuitry and drivers (“Controller”) to facilitate connection in this fashion. The fluid path is formed by connecting “Modules” together in series via tubing. In cases where the RDM cannot be used without extensive cross-contamination concerns, reagents can be added manually vial optional lines installed to outside of hot cell.
