DACS - Data Acquisition Control Software v7.2 for MHI Furnaces, Airtorch™ and other devices
"I need my PC to control my process, acquire the data, store and graphically present my results. I want do my projects faster and more efficiently."
DACS -2 and MHI HMI Dacs features with HIPAN, TRIPAN and XPAN. Direct control from panel on some models, enabling many platforms for data acquistion and control. Please contact MHI for DACS
MHI DACS 1 & 2 and now with MHI HMI Dacs
Do your projects faster. The MHI Data Acquisition and Control Software offers unparalleled control and data management many MHI devices, including Furnaces, Robust Radiators, Thermoplates, Airtorch™ and Microheaters. It is powerful enough to remotely turn ON/OFF your MHI furnaces, download data, create cycle programs, provide graphical analysis and monitor and manage up to 12 MHI heating devices. DACS software is simple to use and easily connects to your COM/serial port with no need for additional hardware. DACS2 offers the advanced built in data acquisition system combined with PID control. DACS1 or 2 depending on required control features. Equiped with temperature recorder. Will record files that may be coded to record part -number, lot number and date during the process (requires user interaction to determine the numbers). Electronic Recorder unit read only data can be set to network drive. The recording system ssupports protection, retention and retrieval of accurate records throughout the record retention period. Reliable world standard hardware. Multi levels of password protections are allowed.The compact ¼ DIN controller offers four universal inputs for data recording and two PID control loops with a full color 320x240 pixel graphical 3.5” TFT display for a crystal clear operator interface.
Configurable real time views including horizontal and vertical trends, Horizontal and vertical bar graphs, Alarm status and control loops.
Up to 30 additional virtual channels can be utilized to provide different functionalities within the instrument.
Optional Dual programmer supporting up to 100 programs with 25 segments each.
Ethernet communications with Modbus TCP or FTP protocols for communications with third party software. Like Labview and other software.
Built in 50MB of non-volatile flash memory for data storage. Automatic data archiving to a removable USB memory stick or FTP to a secure data location through the built in Ethernet port.
USB Connections. Use with Dongle to make Wireless.
