Summary

DMC worked with Polyscience, a leader in temperature control solutions to develop custom control electronics and user interface for their General Purpose Water Bath upgrade. The Water Bath is a scientific temperature control product that has been developed to be the highest value premium digital unstirred water bath on the market.   

Solution

PolyScience redesigned their popular General Purpose Water Bath with modern features while still maintaining core functionality that made it so successful. The update included adding a full-color display with more comprehensive error handling and alarms, and updated control electronics. This was accomplished while maintaining their highly reliable and proven control algorithms.

PolyScience General Purpose Water Bath

DMC designed the upgraded system around a Cortext-M0+ microcontroller. We leveraged the open-source graphics library LittlevGL to efficiently operate the full-color TFT display. This open-source graphics library can easily scale from large to small projects which allowed the creation of rich graphics despite the resource constraints of the device. LittlevGL also provided many useful UI elements out-of-the-box that allowed us to make rapid UI changes. Switching to a full-color graphical display also gave the end customer multi-language support and a more intuitive interface for controlling and configuring the device.

Customer Benefits

  • Modern user interface with a full-color display
  • Informative error messages and improved error handling
  • Support for multiple languages
  • Optimized design for modern features using low-cost components
  • Cost-optimized PCB design for volume production

Technologies

  • STM32 Arm Cortex-M0+ microcontroller
  • Control of line-voltage AC loads
  • Full-color TFT display
  • LittlevGL graphics library
  • Developed with Mbed OS

DMC also implemented the existing control algorithm to meet the same reliability and performance while providing additional diagnostic and tuning capabilities for the future. The control electronics were upgraded to modern,  widely available components and additional circuitry was added to enhance the way faults and alarms were displayed and handled.

Features of the General Purpose Water Bath that DMC developed include:

  • Display of actual and setpoint temperature simultaneously
  • Programmable pre-sets for frequently used temperatures
  • Integrated timer
  • Calibration capability
  • Primary and automatic safety thermostats

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

PolyScience

Driven. Connected. Accommodating. Established.

Back in 1963, we were a startup. And like many global companies, we started out small but kept thinking big. Along the way, we pioneered innovations ranging from the first zero-switching circulators to the first refrigeration systems for DNA amplification to an award-winning line of culinary products. Over one million temperature control solutions have been sold under our brand name or as private label for large, well-respected manufacturers and distributors. Our dedication to our customers, and their needs, has helped us become a global company that spans six continents and most major cities.

All of our products—Refrigerated Circulators, Heated Circulators, Chillers, Recirculating Coolers, Water Baths, and Custom Equipment—are designed and developed by a highly trained engineering team in the U.S.A. to our own rigid standards as well as ISO 9001 quality requirements. After five decades, we’re no longer a startup. But the passion for innovation, commitment to quality, and unmatched user-focus continue to drive our enthusiasm for designing and manufacturing superior products. Making us your perfect partner for liquid temperature control.
