Abstract
An automated analytical system module design essentially electrically isolates modular elements within the analyzer system with inter-module communications provided via packet-based communications. The modules may include a motor controller which estimates motor temperature to enable high initial torque with motor failure prediction and detection. The modules in such a system can be identified on serial communications loops by a module reset and count-off process.
