This enables the multi-channel system to be operated as several single-loop controllers without the need of a superordinate PLC. The terminals are connected to the controller’s Modbus coupler via an RS 485 interface. Alternatively, communication can be switched over to parallel operation via the controller’s RS 232 Engineering interface. By means of an Ethernet interface, the operating terminals can be linked into existing networks. Recipe data can be transmitted from or to the terminal. Similarly, an external OPC server can be used for access to process data. An additional possibility for data access is provided by an optional web server in the KS vario BTs. The user interface made available via a network in the form of HTML pages. By means of a standard browser, operation & display can then be implemented with a PC. Touchpanel The KS vario BT operating terminals have been designed as an extremely compact unit for panel mounting. The computing core consists of a ‘low power’ RISC processor, which operates without cooling fan. Flash modules are used as program memory. This design makes the terminal’s hardware extremely robust and gives it a long service life. The full-colour graphic displays have resolutions of 320 x 240 (QVGA) or 800 x 600 (SVGA) pixels. Moreover, the displays are featured by especially good readability and brightness as well as a durable backlighting element. The integrated resistive ‘touch’ feature permits direct controller operation via the display screen. No further operating controls are required. User interface The terminals KS vario BT come with a user interface for operating up to 30 control zones in a KS vario control system. The number of control loops and the active interfaces can be configured online. Handling of the KS vario BT is designed completely for ‘touch screen’ operation. All operating and functional data are selected on-screen with the help of context-related menus.
