The Shimadzu CBM-101 Communications Bus Module is a legacy chromatography communications and control module designed for integration with compatible Shimadzu laboratory chromatography systems. The front panel of the photographed unit is clearly marked “CBM-101”, “SHIMADZU”, and “COMMUNICATIONS BUS MODULE”, confirming the model and manufacturer.

The CBM-101 provides a control/interface function within compatible Shimadzu chromatography configurations, allowing communication between chromatography components and associated control or data-processing equipment. The front panel includes power and online status indicators, separate CH1 and CH2 start/stop controls, and a main power switch. The unit is particularly relevant for laboratories maintaining older Shimadzu chromatography systems and legacy instrumentation.

Shimadzu's historical equipment records identify the CBM-101 as a communications bus module, and secondary equipment documentation identifies the CBM-101 as a module used with Shimadzu chromatography equipment. A used-equipment listing identifies a CBM-101 configuration with approximately 260 × 90 × 220 mm dimensions and approximately 3 kg weight, although the exact dimensions and electrical configuration of the photographed unit should be verified from its identification label.

The photographed unit shows visible cosmetic wear, dirt, discoloration and scratches consistent with previous laboratory use. The exact rear-panel connections, internal configuration, operating voltage and compatibility with a specific Shimadzu system should be verified before purchase or installation.

Applications

The Shimadzu CBM-101 is intended for use with compatible legacy Shimadzu chromatography systems, providing communications and control functionality between chromatography components. It can be useful when maintaining older laboratory HPLC or gas chromatography installations where replacement of the original communication hardware is required.

The module is particularly relevant to research laboratories, analytical laboratories, pharmaceutical facilities, universities, quality-control laboratories and chromatography service organizations that continue to operate or restore legacy Shimadzu instruments. Because the CBM-101 is an older-generation module, compatibility should be checked against the exact chromatography system and associated modules before purchase.

Technical Specifications

A documented Shimadzu CBM-101 replacement/module reference identifies 223-03750-37 as a 220–240 VAC Communications Bus Module, while used-equipment documentation reports approximately 260 × 90 × 220 mm dimensions and approximately 3 kg weight. These details should be treated as configuration-dependent rather than confirmed specifications of the photographed unit.

Benefits of Refurbished Laboratory Equipment

Purchasing a refurbished Shimadzu CBM-101 can provide a cost-effective solution for laboratories maintaining legacy Shimadzu chromatography systems. Original communication modules can be difficult to source for older instruments, making refurbished equipment useful for system restoration, maintenance and replacement of failed components.

Refurbished legacy equipment can also help laboratories extend the useful life of existing chromatography systems without replacing the complete analytical platform. Before installation, the module should be electrically inspected and tested with the intended Shimadzu system to confirm power, communication and start/stop functionality.

Additional Information

The photographed unit is clearly identified as a Shimadzu CBM-101 Communications Bus Module. It is a legacy component, so compatibility with a specific Shimadzu HPLC or GC system should be confirmed using the system model, connection type and required communication architecture.

The photograph does not show the rear connection panel or rating plate. Therefore, the exact voltage, connector configuration, serial number, internal module configuration and compatible instrument models cannot be confirmed solely from the image. Cables, communication accessories and software are included only if specifically shown or stated.
