![](images/Hochspng_sm_syn2tb9o.jpg)
Customer's Requirement:
Customisation of the STS standard high voltage charging device and STS capacitor block for a lithotripsy unit.
The customer wants to develop a lithotripsy unit in an easy way.
Solution:
Utilisation and adjustment of STS standard components.
Project Scope:
Implementation:
- High voltage generation up to 26kV / 50nF, shot frequency up to 2Hz / EKG
- High voltage storage and shot triggering through high-voltage switch
- Communication with the control PC and water circuit control
Hardware:
- Siemens C166/C167 for high-voltage generation and monitoring
Development environments:
- Zuken Cadstar 9.0 (circuit diagram, layout)
- Keil C166 for μC-Coding
- Visual Basic 6.0 for PC-Software
Tasks:
- Analysis of the interfaces to the customer's system
- Integration of STS-components
- Hardware manufacturing
- Providing the hardware-software interface definition
- Providing the device specification in collaboration with the customer
- Clarification of the overall concept in arrangement with the regulatory authoritiy
- Adjustment of the hardware components (circuit diagram revision, layout, engineering data, mechanical designs)
- Adjustment of the software components (implementation of communication-protocols and altered processes)
- Verification of all development steps taking into account effective medicine specifications and risk management
- PC software development for service
