1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
Processors MIC 900, MIC 1100 and MIC 3000,
with user-friendly touch panel, 7“ TFT display with resistive touch technology, several interfaces and a
housing of standard industrial quality, are designed for use in universal cooking and smoking
chambers as well as climatic smoke and maturing chambers.
In its standard version the controller is equipped with
4 Pt100 temperature inputs and
2 inputs which can be converted to Pt100 and current 4-20mA / voltage 0-10V or thermocouples
(compliant with DIN EN 60584).
The following interfaces allow communication: LAN/Ethernet and USB Serial Port.
In order to adapt the controller for specific purposes each control loop can be used as a 2-point
controller, XP controller or with PID behaviour.
MIC 900:
The standard version has 16 relay outputs
(12 normally open contacts and 4 changeover contacts).
MIC 1100:
In its standard version the controller is equipped with 18 relay outputs
(14 normally open contacts and 4 changeover contacts).
MIC 3000:
The standard version has 24 relay outputs
(16 normally open contacts and 8 changeover contacts).

1.2 Display and operating area
The controller is sub-divided into an input/display panel and a control button panel.
1.2.1 Input and display touch panel
The upper half is a 5" (MIC 1100) or 7“ (MIC 900 + MIC 3000) touch display. Here you can change the
different settings and information on program data and the input screens are shown.
1.2.2 Control buttons
The control buttons allow you to navigate through the operating elements of the touch display with the
help of the cursor buttons. Use the “Enter”button to confirm the entries you have made.
Controllers MIC 1100 and MIC 3000 had short-cut buttons that allow you to select operating elements
directly.
Some control buttons have LEDs. The LEDs give a visual indication of various aggregate conditions.

Text can also be entered via the operation buttons 0 –9. Select which value you want to enter via the
cursor buttons and then change into entry mode by pressing the Return button. Now use the operation
buttons on the numerical pad to enter your value and confirm your entry by pressing Return. The
cursor can be moved via the arrow buttons.

A numerical pad is used to enter numerical values. It will be displayed when
you have to enter values.
- Deleting the value in an entry box
- Changing the leading sign of a value
- Closing the keypad. Changes made to the nominal value
are not saved.
- De-activating a nominal value
- Saving an entered value

Be aware
The controller also allows you to enter negative temperature values:
-In order to pre-program negative nominal values in a step, the installation manufacturer
has to pre-program negative nominal value limits for chamber and core.
- „0“ can be entered as a nominal value. The nominal value „Off“ is shown for chamber
and core when a new program step is pre-programmed. . This means: the nominal value
is deactivated. As soon as a value is entered (even if it is „0“) the nominal value counts
as activated. If you want to deactivate the nominal value later in the step, press
the „Off“ button.
1.4.1 MIC3000 Control buttons (number buttons)
Number pad MIC 1100
Number pad MIC 3000
Text can also be entered via the operation buttons 0 –9. Select which value you want to enter via the
cursor buttons and then change into entry mode by pressing the Return button. Now use the operation
buttons on the numerical pad to enter your value and confirm your entry by pressing Return.
1.4.2 Screen lock
When you press the „Enter“ button for 3 seconds, all buttons and touch function on the display will be
locked. On the bottom edge of the display you will see the lock symbol.
In order to de-activate the lock, press the „Enter“ button for about 5 seconds.
For your information
A program run is not affected by a button/keypad lock. This means that the program will
continue as normal, even if the keypad lock is activated while a program is in operation.
Neither the communication with VisuNet nor the service program are affected when a keypad
lock is activated. Programs can be started and stopped via VisuNet even if the keypad is
locked.
The function is mainly needed while the installation and the controller are being cleaned.

As soon as the controller has been connected to a power supply, it will automatically boot up and will
display the message „Loading please wait...“. This process can take up to 1 minute. Then you will get
to the standby screen.

2.3 Selecting a step
In standby you can select steps. This allows you to skip steps during operation or to repeat a step that
has already run. You can also select a step while in standby mode in order to e.g. check on the
entered nominal values or to start a program with the second or third step.
Starting from standby mode, there are 3 options of how to change steps:

2.4 Actual and nominal values
Actual value:
Currently measured sensor value or current step time
Symbol/Scale (combined button):
Shows the measured variable and the measuring scale.
If the nominal value for chamber max. or humidity max. has
been enabled, the „Symbol“button allows you to change the
display from min. nominal value to max. nominal value. Which
nominal values is currently shown, can be seen in the nominal
value box (min./max.).
Nominal value:
Only the entry boxes for nominal values that have been enabled in the current process will be shown.
In standby nominal values are not shown, because neither a program nor a process has been
selected. Press the „nominal value“ box during operation and an entry box will open up to allow you to
change the nominal value. This is, however, a transient change that only applies while this step is
running and will not be saved.
Display of the actual step time during operation
(from version V00.08 onwards)
Colon in the actual time display is flashing –Step time is counted.
Colon in the actual time display is not flashing –Step time is not

Hint
When the step time counter has been paused, the step time is not counted. However, all
other control processes are taking place. All outputs (relays, analogue outputs, etc.) continue
to be actuated.
Normally the colon in the actual/current step time display will be flashing in operating mode.
When the step time counter has been paused, the colon is not flashing. The time is shown in

2.5 Program run times
Press the symbol to show the program runtime or the remaining program runtime.
Actual/current step time
Program runtime: Duration of the current program
(including all steps)
Remaining program runtime: Time that remains
until the program ends (including all steps). Only the
steps that have a pre-programmed step time are
taken into account.
Time paused
The time count is paused, the colon between the
minute and second (00:05) display is not flashing.
The display is shown in red.
Hint
The remaining program runtime is also calculated if steps without step time have been pre-
programmed. When a step without step time is in operation, the remaining program runtime
cannot be counted backwards. During these steps the colon in the remaining program
runtime display will not be flashing.
2.6 Optional displays
Depending on the configuration settings, different optional displays are available for the various
values. In some cases, settings can be changed via these displays.
Use the arrow button to browse through the enabled displays.

2.6.1 Optional nominal values
If additional nominal values (e.g. FC value, Delta temperature, air
circulation) or aggregate buttons have been enabled, they are all
shown on the „Optional nominal value“ list.
Press the current nominal value to change it during operation.
(Changeover ON/OFF or changing the values via the numerical
pad)
If the intelligent air circulation is programmed the active level
appears in green colour.
Be aware
The new nominal values are only valid in the current step. They are not saved and are
only valid until the end of the step. If you want to make permanent changes to the
nominal values you need to go to „Programming mode“, item 4, page 21 and make the
changes there.
