The test condition (temperature and humidity) are controlled by air-jacket control system. Control is governed by the 32 Bit I/O system with integrated soft PLC. A web server can place test and diagnosis information in the intranet via Ethernet if desired.
The principle of the test is to determine theeffects of different environmental parameters such as humidity, temperature applications tests involving micro-organisms, plants, tissues, electronic components etc. apart from various customized industrial and research applications.
The input temperature and humidity is given through Nano technology based hmi and plc, and the results are observed. By setting the temperature and humidity conditions, operation is automatically controlled.
There are 2 modes of testing:
- Select the "Normal Mode “for frequently changing temperature and humidity conditions and flexible adjustments to rapid changes in the heat load generated by the sample.
- The "Power Saving Mode" keeps power consumption down for constant operation. Select either mode depending on testing circumstances.
