A tile making plant has five production
lines. Each production line is equipped
with 16 TEC-9300 units to control the
temperature for the kiln. They want to
program the controllers and monitor the
process from the control room to improve
quality and productivity. A cost-effective
solution for the above application would
be to use 80 TEC-9300 units plus a Smart
Network Adapter (Part Number TEC99003)
and DAQ (Part Number TEC99923) PC-
based software for this purpose.
The system is installed as shown in the
following diagram.
Setup
Enter setup mode to configure each TEC-
9300. Choose FULL for FUNC, 485 for
COMM, RTU for PROT, and select a dif-
ferent address (ADDR) for each unit. Use
the same values of BAUD, DATA, PARI,
and STOP for the TEC-9300’s, Smart
Network Adapter and DAQ Software. Also
refer to section 2-15 and section 4-8.
Taking advantage of DAQ software, the
operator can monitor the process on the
PC screen, program the set point as well as
other control parameters such as PID val-
ues, download the ramp and soak profile
to the controllers, execute the manual con-
trol or trigger auto-tuning, etc., and print
out reports as required. The historical data
can be saved in the floppy drive, hard
drive, or on a CD for permanent storage.
