Control system
The control system comprises the following components:
• Higher-level laboratory software, laboratory information system (LIS), including middleware
• Track Sample Manager (TSM)
• Track Workflow Manager (TWM)
NOTE: As customer-specific systems, the higher-level laboratory software and the middleware
are not supplied with the GLP systems Track.
TSM is the central control unit and enables communication between the individual track system
components and TWM. The following list describes the function of the control system:
LIS Higher-level laboratory software.
Middleware The interface between the laboratory automation system
(LAS) and the laboratory software. Information about the
samples is entered in the middleware and forwarded to
TWM.
TSM Controls sample distribution in the LAS, communicates with
the segment controllers and module controllers, and locates
all CARs and samples at all times.
Module controller Controls the processes in the module and communicates with
TSM.
Segment controller Manages the communication between the active lane
elements and TSM. The track can have several segment
controllers.
Active lane element Communicates with the segment controller from its track
segment. A track segment can contain a maximum of 40
active lane elements (for example, switch, AccessPoint,
PassPoint, or ChargePoint).
TWM Translates individual sample orders into preanalytical and
postanalytical processing steps by using an algorithm.
