This study shows visual programming with LabVIEW is efficient for bioprocess control. It enables scientists to develop custom functions quickly, comparable to traditional programming methods.

Area of Science:

  • Biotechnology
  • Process Control
  • Software Engineering

Background:

  • Developing custom control functions for bioprocess research traditionally requires expertise in conventional programming languages.
  • This can be time-consuming and may present a barrier for bioprocess scientists.
  • There is a need for more accessible and efficient programming solutions in bioprocess research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate the use of a visual programming environment, LabVIEW, for programming custom control functions in bioprocess research.
  • To compare the development time of LabVIEW-programmed functions with conventional programming methods.
  • To demonstrate the flexibility and ease of use of LabVIEW for bioprocess applications.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized LabVIEW, a visual programming environment, to develop custom control functions for bioprocess research.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Compared the programming time for bioprocess scientists using LabVIEW against expected times for experienced programmers using conventional languages.
  • Demonstrated the application by developing a system to control the specific growth rate in a fed-batch culture.

    • Main Results:

    • The time taken for bioprocess scientists to program new functions using LabVIEW was comparable to typical times for experienced programmers using conventional languages.
    • Experienced LabVIEW programmers demonstrated significantly faster application development.
    • The developed LabVIEW package proved flexible, user-friendly, and suitable for new bioprocess control applications.

    Conclusions:

    • LabVIEW offers an efficient and accessible platform for developing custom control functions in bioprocess research.
    • It reduces the programming time for bioprocess scientists, especially when compared to conventional programming methods.
    • The visual programming approach is well-suited for creating novel bioprocess control systems, as demonstrated by the fed-batch culture application.
