15. Options
15.1 Communication software APT-COM™ 3 DataControlSystem (option)
The chamber is regularly equipped with a serial interface RS 422 to which the BINDER communication
software APT-COM™ 3 DataControlSystem can be connected. The connection to a computer is
established using the FP interface via an interface converter RS 422 / RS 232.
Make sure that the interface mode is correctly set to “Modbus” in the user level (chap. 10).
In adjustable intervals the actual temperature, and fan speed values are put out. Programming can be
performed graphically via PC. Up to 30 chambers with RS 422 interface can be cross linked. For further
information, refer to the operating manual of the BINDER communication software APT-COM™.
Pin allocation of the RS 422 interface at the rear of the oven: Pin 2: RxD (+)
Pin 3: TxD (+)
Pin 4: RxD (-)
Pin 5: TxD (-)
15.2 Data logger kit (option)
BINDER Data Logger Kits offer an independent long-term measuring system for temperature. They are
equipped with a keyboard and a large LCD display, alarm functions and a real-time function.
Measurement data are recorded in the Data Logger and can be read out after the measurement via the
RS232 interface of the Data Logger. It offers a programmable measuring interval and permits storing up
to 64000 measuring values. Reading out is done with the Data Logger evaluation software. You can give
out a combined alarm and status protocol directly to a serial printer.
Data Logger Kit T 350: Temperature range 0 °C / 32 °F up to +350 °C / 662 °F
For detailed information on installation and operation of the BINDER Data Logger, please
refer to the mounting instructions Art. No. 7001-0204 and to the original user manual of the
manufacturer, supplied with the data logger.
15.3 Additional measuring channel for digital object temperature indicator with
flexible temperature sensor Pt 100 (option)
The object temperature display enables the determination of the actual temperature of the specimen
during the whole process. The object temperature is measured via a flexible Pt 100 temperature sensor
and can be viewed at Display 2 of the RD3 controller.
The object temperature data is put out together with the data of the temperature controller to the RS 422
interface as a second measuring channel and can be documented by the communication software APT-
COM™ developed by BINDER (option, chap. 15.1).
The sensor top protective tube of the flexible Pt 100 can be immersed into liquid substances.
Technical data of the Pt 100 sensor:
• Three-wire technique
• Class B (DIN EN 60751)
• Temperature range up to 320 °C
• Stainless steel protective tube 45 mm length, material no. 1.4501
