Contrôleurs, Régulateurs de température et des fours

A control loop measures process states and compares them to given
setpoints. Based on this data a program calculates control values and transmits them
to the system. This program can be operated in a storage-programmable logic
controller, PLC. The process is controlled by control
the actuators like drives or valves with the control values in a small number
of cycles. The main benefit of PLC is that instead of assembly or modification
relays they are replaced with software.
Often there are control variables like temperature, pressure, revolution
speed or flow rate. The control value is measured with a sensor. In case
of temperature control it is often realized by thermocouples
(T/C). Gasflows are measured and controlled by mass flow
controllers (MFC).
The compact Stange Elektronik controller consists of the following
components: PID-controller, program controller, I/O-modules
for analog and digital in- and output, connected by
CAN-bus, user terminal with display and keyboard as well
as RS-422 with ModBus-Protocol. The in- and outputs of
the controller, the program controller and the I/O-modules can be programmed
with an S5 compatible PLC and its instruction set. It is also possible to
program without a PC-connection using an user terminal, display and keyboard.
The RS-422 with ModBus protocol offers the possibility to establish
a connection to a process control system. There is also an OPC-server available.
Other advantages of Stange program controller are:
Surrogate actual value. In case of a defect sensor the controller
switches automatically to a surrogate actual value. If the controller detects
a defect thermocouple which should give the actual process value it will
automatically switch to a redun-dant thermocouple or a fixed control value
(e.g. 20% heating power).
Calculated setpoints. Some furnaces do not have as many set point
sensors as actuators. The Stange controller is one of the controller which
are able to calculate one or more control values for other actuators based
on given setpoints.
Abort recipe. If it is necessary to perform a defined sequence
of single steps after process abort this is not easy to realize with a regular
sequential program. The Stange controller offers the possibility to load
a new recipe (abort recipe) into the program controller and to restart it
with this new recipe on a defined condition. This functionality e.g. allows
to cool down a furnace in case of emergency in a pre-defined way.
Access protection. All Stange program controller dispose of a
multilevel access protection. It can be switched with the PLC an therefore
with specific conditions. If e.g. a process recipe is under execution it
is possible to abort with a keypress but it is not possible to use this
functionality during execution an abort recipe.
Language selection. The user defined language can be set in the
menu of the Stange system controller.
Modem connection. It is possible to connect a modem directly
to all Stange system controller.

ECS-2000 Process Control System
A common PC can be connected with
Stange process control system software ECS-3200 to Stange controller
SE-502, SE-504 and SE-510 used in separate furnaces. It is possible to
handle up to 16 systems under Windows NT/2000/XP in a system network
with integrated modules for configuration, programming and management,
online-service with visualisation and logger functionalities, batch
data evaluation, and management as well as operating figures and
process visualisation.
ECS Recipe Management |
An unlimited number of programs, named recipes, can be managed for every system.
Like the Windows-Explorer all programs can be sorted in order of the first three program header fields.
The program header contents program number, program name, creation date and date of the last modification.
For every program 20 information fields can be free configured. There is also a text field available.
The recipe input takes place in a clearly arranged table where every raw represents a segment displayed in order of process step, segment time, setpoints and control tracks.
There is a user defined number of channels to display setpoint - and control track graphics in real-time. The segments will be shown graphically. The ECS-2000 is a net-work-compatible device.
|
|
|
ECS System Operating |
User defined dynamic visualisation can be generated in form of data or animations using the included graph-designer.
The user interfaces, e.g. hand level, can be free designed. Program control data is displayed with control functions in a table and setpoint curves synchronous to actual values.
This brings an advantage in case of failure analysis because it is easy to compare data curves.
Every controller has its own window that displays all parameters in a table, like control zones with description, setpoint, actual value, control value and deviation.
All parameters of the data logger (e.g. channels, colours, markers, etc.) with a free selectable number of channels can be configured and saved as a configuration.
It is possible to select detailed data information and to position the zoom with a mouse. Available alarms are dis-played with time and status information. Another 256 characters are reserved for additional text.
There is also an alarm history, which includes alarm messages, time and status. It is no problem to include the InTouch process visualisation system into an ActiveX-module.
A screenshot of the connected Stange device (SE-4xx, SE-5xx) can be displayed at a screen in 1:1 scale. From this side, the device can be remote controlled at all.
On a free configurable event a popup window considering the event will be automatically generated.
|
|
|
ECS Analsysis |
It possible to manage an unlimited number of batches for every system. A batch sorting is possible by using the first three fields of the batch header (structure like Windows-Explorer).
If data logging interrupts, ECS will compile two batches. The first one contents the data be-fore the interrupt and the second one after data log restart. ECS provides a function to merge both batches.
The batch header consists of number, operator, label, creation date and data of last modification. Every batch has 20 free configurable fields for additional information (e.g. job number) and a free text field.
Logged analog and digital data (max. 200) are displayed graphically. The log data will be saved in a table with a time stamp.
There are two recording rates (fast/slow) available. This batch includes a list of system alerts with timestamp, text and status.
It is also possible to analyse all recorded channels with graphics and configurable parameters (channels, colours, labels, etc.). An unlimited number of configurations can be saved.
For comparison another batch can be loaded at the same time.
For analysing 10 batches per channel can be loaded at same time and compared to each other (zoom, reticule).
|
|
|
ECS Designer |
Background images can be created with every bitmap tool (e.g. Paintbrush) and will be saved in BMP-format.
It is possible to change the background image with the editor but without interacting the animations. Program control data (setpoints, actual values, formula values, etc.) can be displayed with drag-and-drop.
It is no problem to input data values in the picture. Three bitmaps (e.g. ON, OFF, ALARM) can be free connected to every digital value by drag-and-drop from a folder.
Digital states can be displayed into the picture. This is also possible with free text.
With a 3D key another system picture can be displayed; the number of pictures in not limited. The partial graphics functionality offers the possibility to position zoomable bitmaps.
|
|
|
ECS System Configuration |
The configuration management is obtained to the single system (tree structure like Windows-Explorer). Up to 16 systems can be managed. The configuration groups are displayed in a clearly arranged table.
It is possible to do changes in the table directly. The complete configuration of a system can be saved and reloaded on a single keypress.
External data import into the batch protocol is supported. The batch protocol can be initialized on batch start with external data sources per adapter DDE, OPC or file.

Stange controller in new systems and retrofitting
of in-stalled systems
Equip new systems with Stange-control systems
On demand for some furnaces from Koyo Thermo Systems it is possible
to inte-grate a Stange controller instead of a standard controller to use
the benefits of Stange controller. The program controller model varies with
the system complexity. Using local peripherals the system can be enlarged
on demand with additional modules per digital and analog outputs and also
belatedly connected to an ECS-2000.
Reequipment of furnaces
If your actual furnace control does not match your requirements Crystec
offers you to retrofit your furnace with a Stange controller to use all its
benefits. Because their compact dimensions Stange controller can be integrated
space saving and very easy into your existing system while they support process
visualisation and storing values and data with a PC adapter.
Stange Elektronik and Crystec are looking forward
to install your new furnace system or to retrofit your existing furnace
system that matches your strong requirements.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us!

Glossary |
CAN |
Controller Area Network-bus
conduces to an adapter between input signals of sensors and its
receiver. The communication is based on 'messages', which are pro-vided
to the bus from an emitter. A CAN component organizes message composing
and its transmission. Instead of address a receiver every receiver
identifies messages with a message-number (identifier) and separates
them if it is the recipient.
|
CNC |
Computer Numerical Control.
Common control for machine tools. It is a basic task of every numerical
control to perform and observe a positioning. "Numeric Control" in
general means that an input of numbers into the control leads to a
sequence of process steps. All required data for numerical controlled
production facilities is given by an information carrier in an encoded
way. CNC are often used for separate work pieces, small / medium series
and repeating orders. Our partner Koyo Machine Industries provides its
grinder machines with CN-control.
|
MFC |
Mass Flow Controller.
High precision gas controller, which consists of a bypass gas flow rate
sensor (sensor) and a high precision gas flow valve (actuator).
|
MODBUS |
ModBus is a simple transfer protocol for
remote devices. Messages are typically transmitted on a serial
connection.
|
OPC |
OLE for Process Control.
Technology that offers possibility to integrate process hardware data
into Windows-based applications. The integration occurs similarly like
OLE-Linking (Object Linking and Embedding) which
allows to transfer data from one MS-application into another. The PLC
collects, processes and provides data to the end user.
|
PID |
Electronic controller, which measures an
actual value, compares it with a setpoint and reacts with a calculated
control value. How and how fast the controller reacts on a disturbance
can be configured with PID controller values. P means proportional, I
integral and D differential. The proportional factor is a fast
proportionally reaction, an integral factor reacts on slow control
deviations and a differential factor reacts on fast disturbances. For
different applications all three factors must be configured optimal.
|
PLC |
Programmable Logic Controller.
This controller type consists of a bit- or word based processor with
RAM-, ROM- and PROM memory. It is possible to program in a higher level
language like connection diagram, continuous function charts or boolean
algebra. Timing functions, markers, timers and time switches are
realized with software. Beside logical functions also arithmetic- and
transfer operations as well as controller functions and text modules
are available. In a first stage of expansion a PLC is only able to
support basic logical functions (AND, OR, SET). Every link is memory
saved in fixed order and will be called stepwise in a loop. The PLC
repeats its program continuously. Program memory and CPU are the core
of a PLC. Its capacity depends on the number of in- and outputs.
|
T/C |
A Thermocouple is a sensor to
measure temperature. If two different metals come together electrons
will move from the metal with lower work function into the metal with
higher level of work function. That is why the first will become
positive charge measured to the other. This voltage is named Seebeck
voltage. It depends of temperature. Because of different thermal
voltages in case of a temperature differ-ence between contact point and
measurement point a voltage that represents temperature at contact
point can be measured between the two wires. Materials for commercially
available thermocouples are listed here:
Type Materials
-
J Iron & Copper-Nickel (Constantan)
-
K Nickel-Chromium & Nickel-Aluminum
-
T Copper & Copper-Nickel (Constantan)
-
E Nickel-Chromium & Copper-Nickel (Constantan)
