If you click on „Connect” now, the device is added to the status bar and you can create programmes for it or read out protocols. 3.4.2 Connecting device using USB storage 1. Export protocol data from an device to USB storage medium. A description of how to read protocol data on a device is provided in the user manual of the corresponding device. 2.
AtmoCONTROL 3.4.4 Log file If a device is added – no matter whether this is done using a USB stick or via Ethernet – the log file Log.txt is also transferred and saved in a subfolder of the directory C:\ProgramData\Memmert\AtmoControl\ The log file is structured as shown in the A B C D example on the right: A Date and time of events B + Beginning of the event – End of the event C Alarm / event code D Alarm / event description A detailed list of all event codes is given from page 32. 3.4.
AtmoCONTROL 4. Programme 4.1 Editor window 4.1.1 Overview In the Editor window, programmes can be created: sequences of various parameters (e.g. temperature, pressure and humidity), which the appliance then implements from a definable point in time. To be able to create a programme in AtmoCONTROL, the appliance which is to perform the programme must be listed in the status bar and selected (clicked on). The appliance can, but does not have to, be connected to the computer via the network.
AtmoCONTROL To create a programme, drag the individual parameter icons onto the editor thread one after another in the desired order, while holding down the left mouse button (Fig. 3 and Fig. 4). To assist the correct positioning, a red insertion mark is displayed at the insertion position. With the zoom icons in the toolbar list (see section 3.2.2 on page 9) or with the mouse wheel, you can zoom in or out of the display or have the entire programme displayed. Ramp 05 21.
AtmoCONTROL 4.1.3 Setting parameters If a parameter icon is selected (clicked) on an editor thread, it is displayed with an orange frame. The adjustable values – in the example on the right, the ramp name, the duration of the ramp and the setpoint temperature – have a grey background. To adjust values, click successively on the corresponding fields – in the example on the right, the setpoint temperature.
AtmoCONTROL 4.1.4 Available parameters Below, all the parameter icons with their adjustment options are shown. Which parameters are available to adjust the programme depends on the appliance for which a programme is to be created. Only those parameters are available that the appliance is able to implement. For appliances without humidity regulation, for example, no humidity icon is available. The respective adjustment options (temperature ranges etc.) are appliance-specific.
AtmoCONTROL Depiction Meaning in icon bar Depiction on editor thread Function and adjustment options Function Maintains a specific humidity for a specific time. 12 h:00 m Hold Hold humidity ? Tolerance band + 0.0 %rh - 5.0 %rh on off Alarm 70.
AtmoCONTROL Depiction Meaning in icon bar Depiction on editor thread Function and adjustment options Function hold p Hold pressure 2 h:30 m Tolerance band + 20 mb - 10 mb ? on off Alarm 500 mb decrease 2 h:30 m Safe Tolerance band + 20 mb - 10 mb Change ? pressure on 1100 mb 500 mb SPWT off Maintains a specific pressure for a specific time.
AtmoCONTROL Narrow parameter representation With the narrow parameter representation, no time progression can be set, in contrast to broad parameter representation. The setting made immediately becomes active at the respective position – and remains active until it is changed by the insertion of a new parameter icon of the same type. Depiction Meaning in icon bar Depiction on editor thread CO 2 50% ? 2 CO 15 0 Adjustment options/ comments 0 to 20 percent For a setpoint ≠ 0.
AtmoCONTROL Depiction Meaning in icon bar Depiction on editor thread Adjustment options: open/close Close/open door at the position in the programme at which the icon was inserted.
5 AtmoCONTROL Depiction Meaning in icon bar Depiction on editor thread JUMP TARGET STAND BY 15 LOOP Loop 4X Adjustment options/ comments The programme jumps back from the insertion position to a position that can be freely selected and repeats the sequence between n times (adjustable). When inserting a loop function, an icon for the jump target is automatically inserted at the programme start. Holding the mouse key down, move it to the beginning of the range that is to be repeated.
AtmoCONTROL 4.2 Simulating the programme sequence (preview) While creating the programme, you can display the prospective progression of all parameters as a diagram at any time. To do this, click on "Simulation" (Fig. 7). Depending on the complexity of the programme, it may take a few seconds for the simulation to be calculated and displayed. Fig. 7 Programme preview diagram (simulation) In simulation mode, no changes can be made to the programme, as this mode is just for information purposes.
AtmoCONTROL 4.3.3 Transferring programme via Ethernet To be able to transfer a programme via Ethernet, the appliance and computer must be connected via Ethernet, the correct IP address set (see page 10) and the appliance switched on. Click „Program"„Upload to device”. The programme is uploaded to the appliance and can be started there. 4.3.4 Transferring a programme via USB storage medium 1. Click „Program"„Export to USB drive”. The programme is saved on the USB storage medium connected. 2.
AtmoCONTROL 4.4 Programme examples For reasons of space, it is not possible to present programme examples with all the available parameters for all MEMMERT appliances here. Instead, a number of simple example programmes will be presented to familiarise you with how a programme is structured. Caution: It is important that you run through a number of programme examples to get to know AtmoCONTROL before you actually transfer and run programmes on the appliance. 4.4.
