PC-Software DMMS/DIGISYS PC-Software DMMS/DIGISYS The multi-lingual PC-Software DMMS/DIGISYS allows the possibility of connection to the interchange and evaluation unit. Configuration interface A is connected with the communication cable B to serial interface C of a PC/ notebook. In the event that the PC does not feature a serial interface, please find a „USB RS232 serial adapter“, included in delivery, and follow the operating instructions of the manufacturer.

User and passwords Menu DMMS / connect The configuration interface must be connected with the communication cable and the serial interface (COM-port) of the PC. Menu connect DMMS or click on „ “. When connection has been established, read the configuration DIGISYS by clicking on „Yes“.
ACO AUTOMATION COMPONENTS Moisture / Temperature-Image Representation of the measured values and the back-up measured values entered „manually“ (channel 1..16). A manual / automatic changeover is possible. The manual value can be adjusted using the sliding regu- lators. The back-up measured values serve simula- tion of the measured values and are issued in place of the measured value by pressing the „Manual“...

ACO AUTOMATION COMPONENTS Analogue output A measured value is transferred via an analogue output (0-10V or 4..20mA) to another system. Moisture-Output: analogue output no. for moisture measuring value On Error: output status if an error occurs ---- / 0V / 10V Temperature-Output: analogue output no.
ACO AUTOMATION COMPONENTS PC-Software DMMS/DIGISYS Take sample To obtain a material-specific balance, it is necessary to take samples from the flowing material as the digits are being recorded. The weight moistures of the samples are determined in the laboratory by drying or via „Karl Fischer Titration“.
4 points. This type is supported by all DMMS moisture sensors. The sample is only available for this curve type.

ACO AUTOMATION COMPONENTS PC-Software DMMS/DIGISYS 8.12 Example - install a measuring channel Measuring problem Sand is batched onto a weigher belt via dual discharge. Both discharge points are completely open for coarse batching, in the subsequent fine batching phase the 2nd discharge point half closes and the 1st discharge posi- tion closes completely.

ACO AUTOMATION COMPONENTS Calibration 14. Switch to " Take Sample" register card and click the "by Start" box to enter a tick symbol. The measured values of the next batching are re- corded. Simultaneously, take material samples from the discharge points and ascertain the moisture value in the laboratory.
8.13 Error reports Incorrect entries All errors which are recognised during operation of the PC software DMMS/DIGISYS are displayed in a separate window in clear text and must be confirmed. DIGISYS error signalisation Errors which are recognised by the DIGI- SYS interchange and evaluation unit are displayed via a flashing code (error code).
