Each K-TRON weigh feeder consists<br />
of the components A, B, C and D.<br />
Component D is specified here.<br />
KSC in the <strong>Smart</strong>Connex control system<br />
An industrial PC with KSC-Software inside the <strong>Smart</strong>Connex control<br />
system controls up to 30 K‐TRON weigh belt and loss-in-weight<br />
feeders as well as PID or SFM components in both continuous and<br />
batch modes reliably according to registered setpoint values. A<br />
current industrial Pentium PC is required as hardware for the KSC<br />
software. KSC is a user programming of the process visualization<br />
program iFIX HMI for Windows.<br />
Process data visualization is self-explanatory on the screen. Rapid information<br />
on the actual operation data of the hooked up units provides<br />
the desired process overview. A help program can be summoned<br />
at the touch of a button in case questions arise. Recipe command,<br />
historical trends, statistical control, and alarm parameters are some<br />
of the many possibilities of this software.<br />

Design<br />
Simple operation and short introduction time thanks to the self-explanatory<br />
layout of the screen pages. Quick process overview through<br />
graphic depictions, which can be selected ‚on line‘ at any time. The<br />
KSC software is an open system, which means new requirements<br />
can be integrated.<br />
Screen page: «Overview»<br />
There is an overview page for each feeder.<br />
The example to the right shows a page for a loss-in-weight feeder in<br />
a system with 4 feeders.<br />
Communication Protocols<br />
Any available Intellution I/O driver can be added as an option.<br />
