CELSIUS 10.0 4. Connect ovens and external devices Always install the software and necessary drivers (e.g. USB) first before connecting an oven to the computer. When connecting an oven, read the information and notes concerning this in the oven's user manual. To control an oven from the PC and – if it is equipped accordingly – to be able to access the integrated card reader, the oven must be connected to the PC and switched on. It must be in the "I" operating mode.
CELSIUS 10.0 4.2 Connect ovens with an RS-232 interface To connect an oven with an RS-232 interface, a twisted RS-232 connection cable in accordance with DIN 12900 part 1 is required (see also page 48). If the computer has no nine-pin RS-232 interface, then a USB–RS-232 adapter is additionally required (available in specialist shops, see figure on the right). Connect the RS-232 connection of the oven to the RS-232 or USB connection of the computer and log on the oven in CELSIUS as described on page 25. 4.
CELSIUS 10.0 4.3.1 Setting the IP address of the oven with XTADMIN 1. Connect the oven whose IP address you want to change with a standard network cable to a free network socket and switch it on. 2.

CELSIUS 10.0 5. Logging on ovens 5.1 Logging on online and offline When logging an oven on, read the information and notes concerning this in the oven's user manual. In order to create and edit a tempering profile, an oven must always be logged on. There are basically two ways of doing this: ► Logging on online: An oven can be logged on that is switched on and connected to an interface of the PC.
CELSIUS 10.0 3. Select the interface (offline, COM1 or USB) (if you select "LAN", "USB" or "COM", make sure that the oven is in operating mode "I"): ► "offline", if the oven is (not yet) connected LAN1 (see above) ► COM: The oven logged on is connected to the serial RS-232 interface (optionally RS-485. Up to 16 ovens can be connected and controlled via USB ports. In the selection of the interface for logging on the oven, "COM 1...16" is displayed. ► USB: The oven logged on is connected to the USB port.
CELSIUS 10.0 6. Working with CELSIUS 6.1 Tempering profiles 6.1.1 Creating a new tempering profile A new, empty tempering profile can be created in three ways: ► in the graphics window that is automatically started when a new oven has been logged on (see above) ► via "File"→"New Profile" ► by clicking on in the toolbar 6.1.2 Graphical and tabular view Tempering profiles can be created and edited in graphical (see page 29) and tabular form (see page 34).
CELSIUS 10.0 6.1.3 Device status line The device status line is visible at the top of the graphical and tabular views while a tempering profile is being created or run. It shows the following information: Controller active 1 COM3 IST: 24.1 °C 40.1 °C 2 3 4 0:02h 5 1 Controller status, e.g.: ► Edit Profile ► starts at ...: ► Controller active: ► Controller passive: ► STOP: ► ERROR : The tempering profile can currently be edited.
CELSIUS 10.0 6.1.4 Working in the graphical view The graphical view of a tempering profile can be displayed ► with the icon in the toolbar ► via "View"→"Graphics" in the menu bar The graphics window is divided into horizontal segments, depending on the oven type. In the top segment (1), a tempering profile can be created, and the temperature is logged when a tempering profile is executed. In the lower segment (2), other oven-specific parameters (e.g. humidity, vacuum) can be programmed and logged.
CELSIUS 10.0 If you move the mouse cursor over predefined coordinates (links between two segments), it turns into a cross with four arrows. If you hold the mouse button down, you can then move the respective point on the x and/or y axis. If a coordinate is created in a prohibited area or you want to move it to such an area, the mouse cursor turns into a no-entry sign. The coordinate jumps automatically back to its previous position when you let go.
CELSIUS 10.0 ► spwt() ► loop: ► LOOP(n) (= Setpoint wait). The oven waits for the end of the ramp segment until the required setpoint has approximately been reached. Only then is the next segment processed. This command cannot be applied for the final ramp segment of a tempering profile. Which setpoint is involved depends on the oven, and can be seen from the expression in brackets: spwt(t) = Temperature, spwt(h) = Humidity, spwt(p) = Pressure etc.
CELSIUS 10.0 ► HOLD At the end of the tempering profile, the parameters of the last ramp segment are retained until the user ends the tempering profile. This command can only be applied for the final ramp segment of a tempering profile. ► Delete Deletes the respective ramp segment. If a subsequent ramp segment exists, the end point of this is connected by a ramp to the end point of the previous segment. If no ramp close statement is specified, the command "normal" (see above) is automatically applied.
CELSIUS 10.0 ► If the mouse cursor is shown as a magnifying glass: Holding the left mouse button down, select the area into which you want to zoom. Let go of the mouse button.
CELSIUS 10.0 6.1.5 Working in the tabular view The tabular view of a tempering profile can be displayed ► with the icon in the toolbar ► via "View"→"Table" in the menu bar In the table window, the tempering profile is shown as a table. The individual adjustment options are displayed in columns. What columns are displayed depends on the oven and how it is configured. Time, duration and temperature can be entered or modified via the keyboard. Inadmissible entries are simply ignored, with no messages.
CELSIUS 10.0 Inserting and deleting lines If the table window is active, the commands for deleting and inserting lines are additionally available in the view menu and toolbar: ► Insert a line at the position marked ► Delete selected line If the last ramp segment is deleted, the ramp close statement is automatically transferred to the line above. 6.1.
CELSIUS 10.
CELSIUS 10.0 ► To Internal MemoryCard ( or "File"→"Save Tempering Profile"→"To Internal MemoryCard"). With this command, the tempering profile on the MEMoryCard can be stored in the controller of the oven. In this case, the MEMoryCard must be compatible with the oven model. You may enter a name for the tempering profile saved on the card (max. 8 characters, no spaces) or use the name suggested.
CELSIUS 10.0 6.2 Protocol A protocol is the recording of the actual physical values that prevail in the oven while a tempering profile is running (e.g. temperature, humidity, air pressure and CO2 content). This allows a comparison to be made between the desired (set) and the actual values. 6.2.1 Types of Protocols Protocol values can be generated and recorded in three ways: ► in the internal ring protocol memory of the oven. Each oven automatically records all actual values of up to several months.
CELSIUS 10.0 6.2.3 Saving and loading protocol data (*.pro) If the option "Create Log File" is enabled when a tempering profile is run (see page 35), the protocol values are saved to the protocol file (*.pro) selected. You may also write the actual value curve with the corresponding tempering profile later on to a protocol file if the protocol option is not enabled in the start dialog of the temperature programme. The protocol can only be saved later for as long as it is displayed in the graphics window.
CELSIUS 10.0 After data have been read in, a selection dialog appears. Here you can select the period of time for which you would like to display a protocol. The protocol is read from the bin file that was previously transferred by the oven, and which is displayed in the entry field "Ring Protocol File". If the protocol data for the selected period of time need more main memory than is made available by the computer, a warning appears. In this case, you should make the period of time shorter.
CELSIUS 10.0 6.2.6 Export log data in tabular form (Report) With the report function, it is possible to print log data in tabular form or save them as Excel® format (.xls) for processing in a spreadsheet programme and graphically enhance them, for example. This way, ring protocol data can be processed, as well as log data resulting from running a temperature-control profile (see Chapter “Types of Protocols” on page 38).
CELSIUS 10.0 A dialog window appears in which you can specify what is to be included in the report: 1 2 3 5 6 4 7 Report options and presentation as spreadsheet 1 Period presented in protocol window (can be changed by zooming [see page 32] and/or the horizontal scroll bar) 2 Period to be included in the report 3 Interval of individual datasets, recordings are taken at one-minute intervals. To reduce the amount of datasets, a larger interval (e.g. 5 minutes) may be chosen.
CELSIUS 10.0 6.3 Ending work with CELSIUS You can end work with CELSIUS ► via "File"→"Exit" ► by closing the programme window ► with the key combination Alt + F4 If an oven is stilll logged on or an opened tempering profile has not Yes No been saved, a warning will appear: If you confirm the prompt with Yes, open tempering profiles will be closed and not saved. If you want to cancel this, click No. Save open tempering profiles (see page 36) and log off ovens that are currently logged on (see page 45).
CELSIUS 10.0 Only existing folders or network drives may be selected. No new folders may be created. Backup copies in the backup folder can be read, but not deleted or overwritten. If backup files are to be deleted, the "Read only" property of the directory must be changed. A copy of the following file types is saved automatically in the backup folder: ► *.cel: CELSIUS tempering profiles ► *.pro: CELSIUS protocol files ► *.
CELSIUS 10.0 7.6 Working with MEMoryCard MEMMERT ovens with P fittings are equipped with an integrated card reader for MEMoryCard XL (32 kB). On each MEMoryCard, a tempering profile with up to 40 ramps can be stored. This tempering profile is then processed by the oven on its own, i.e. without a PC connection. During the profile sequence, the MEMoryCard saves the actual data that are accumulated in electronic form.
CELSIUS 10.0 7.8 Programme language The programme and the menus can be displayed in five different languages. How you can change the languages is described on page 13. 7.9 Connection details 7.9.
