DACS – Data Acquisition Control Software v10.0+ for MHI Furnaces, Airtorch, and other devices

(soon to come GHG and ESG reporting)

“I need my PC to control my process, acquire data, store my results, and graphically present them. I want to complete my projects faster and more efficiently.”

DACS and MHI HMI DACs feature HIPAN, TRIPAN, and XPAN   Direct control from the panel on some models, enabling many data acquisition and control platforms. Please contact MHI for DACS.

Do your projects faster. The MHI Data Acquisition and Control Software offers unparalleled control and data management for many MHI devices, including Furnaces, Robust Radiators, Thermoplates, Airtorch, and Microheaters. Download data, create cycle programs, provide graphical analysis, and monitor and manage up to 6 MHI heating devices. DACS software is simple and connects to the Ethernet port (included). DACS offers an advanced built-in data acquisition system.  Equipped with a temperature recorder, it will record files that may be coded to record part, lot number, and date during the process (requires user interaction to determine the numbers).  The recording system supports retaining and retrieving accurate records throughout the retention period.


MHI DACS module 

MHI DACS is useable only with MHI Control panels with an Ethernet port.

The DACS is a fully programmable Data Acquisition system that lets you control and monitor your furnace from your PC or Laptop.

After being installed/connected, some things you can do from your computer are listed below.

  • Log temperature
  • Program New Cycles
  • Upload programs; remotely execute cycles
  • Monitor & record set point, process, and output values
  • Monitor temperature settings
  • Save your profiles to use at a later time
  • You can view and download your data in an Excel table with date, time, sample time, process, set point, and output values.
  • The software includes over 70 programs for heat-treating metals, ceramics, and intermetallics.

Plus, there are many more features.  Please contact MHI.

*The MHI-DACS will not work with other devices and is not configurable except for an MHI furnace control panel.

The DACS can be purchased for single or multiple MHI furnaces (DACS-S or DACS-M), provided the control panel has an Ethernet Connection.

RFQ and Price

Ethernet communications with Modbus TCP protocols are used.

Using the MHI Airtorch or MightySteam Communications Package to monitor and report emissions savings.


Contact MHI for emissions reporting for Scope 1 and Scope 3 data.
