2 Introduction
Bruker’s sub-cooled magnets are monitored and controlled by the Bruker Magnet Pump
Control 2 (BMPC/2). To maximize reliability and up-time, the BMPC/2 features redun-
dancy of several components of the sub-cooling technology, most importantly the sub-
cooling pump. As the pump is subject to wear, BMPC/2 operation is based on an appro-
priate backup and a cyclic replacement scheme.
Figure 2.1: The Bruker Magnet Pump Control 2
The shipment of the BMPC/2 comprises three sub-cooling pumps. Each of those pumps
alone is sufficient for normal sub-cooling operation and can operate as default pump. A
second pump acts as backup pump. The default pump and backup pump are installed
in the BMPC/2. The third pump serves as spare pump, and is supplied as a stand-
alone unit.
In normal operation (Automatic Mode), the BMPC2 permanently monitors the default
pump. In case of a failure of the default pump, the BMPC/2 automatically switches over
to the backup pump. The switchover also can be done manually.
In case of such a failure, the pumps are rotated in a cyclical fashion: The pump that was
originally the backup pump continues to be operated as the default pump. The failed
pump must be replaced by the spare pump which is then operated as the new backup
pump inside the BMPC. Finally, a new or refurbished sub-cooling pump specifically
qualified for BMPC/2 operation must be procured from BRUKER to ensure that a spare
pump is again available for the next exchange.

10 Z31823_00_08
In addition to the monitoring and control of the pump system the BMPC/2 also monitors
the magnet status and the main cryogenic system parameters. The monitoring system
also features an alarm function.
The main functions include:
• Monitoring of the magnet status and the most important cryogenic system parame-
ters.
• Monitoring and control of the pump system.
• Alarm system.
Bruker part numbers:
• Standard BMPC: MC5300
• Aeon BMPC: M136266
• Double-Rack BMPC: M147753
2.1 Modes of Operation
The BMPC/2 can be operated in two different modes, manual or automatic. The modes
of operation are discussed in detail in the chapter "Principles of Operation" on page 41.
2.2 User Interface
The BMPC/2 is controlled by a software user interface. This interface contains three
user levels:
1. User - Standard User Level.
2. Administrator - System Administration and Configuration Level (typically accessi-
ble to the lab responsible).
3. Service - For Bruker Service Personnel.
There are five different screen display modes and four different work display modes
available within the user interface. These various software interface displays can be con-
figured individually by the System Administrator or by Bruker Service. Refer to the chap-
ter "Software" on page 47 for an overview of the user interface.
