	Analog OUT	Analog signal out, not used
	USB	USB connector to control PC, used for communication with controlling software
	Remote	Remote connector for Start/Stop signal
	Relay Input	Relay connector to control wash pump, not used anymore (legacy from old system)

Lastly, a cable should be connected to the SFC control module USB port. This can be run to any convenient, compatible USB port on the PC.

CAN cabling between the modules is unchanged from the normal, recommended means of interconnecting HPLC devices.

The HPLC stack requires a LAN connection to the PC. This LAN connection requires all the normal HPLC/ChemStation properties such as BOOTP, Firewall, and IP Address settings. These remain unchanged in an SFC Control Module installation.

Connecting and operating multiple instruments on a single PC is not supported. Both the SFC control module USB and LAN connections must be made on the PC on which ChemStation is installed and which is used for instrument control.
