Programs:
In the “Programs“ menu option, you can create 5 user-defined “Speed / Temperature /Time”
profiles�
In addition, you can define the control mode (Time, Temperature hysteresis and Ramp) in the
program�
You can also define the mixing direction (CW or CCW) in the program�
A program can consist of up to 5 segments�
Once a program has been selected, the following options are available:
Start: Start the selected program upon request�
When you start the selected program , you are required to select "Infinite loop" or input "Loop
count"�
1� Infinite loop: Upon completion of the last segment, the program continues with the first
segment until the user ends the program by stopping a device function�
2� Loop count: Indicates the total number of loop cycles until program end�
Press “OK” to start the program control� Confirm the following message if you want to start
the program control, or press the “Menu” or “Back” button to end the process�
Note: At the end of the program all device functions are switched off�
Edit: Edit the selected program parameters�
Edit the selected program by pressing on the “Edit“ with mixing button (J)�
In the editing program, you can define up to 5 program segments� The selected program
segment is highlighted in blue color�
Then, you can edit, delete, insert or save the selected program segment in this program�
When editing a parameter, press the mixing button on the selected parameter� The highlighted
cursor changed into yellow color indicates that parameter can be edited�
If the “Back” button is pressed after editing, a reminding appears and ask if you want to save
the change� When you edit the program time for at least one segment, a symbol ( ) for
respective program will appear�
1� Seg No�: Segment number�
2� Speed rpm: Target speed for mixing�
3� Temp�: Target temperature�
4� Ctrl� Mode: Control Mode�
In control mode "Time" the target values and setting s of segment are valid for the duration
indicated in the column "Time"� Afterwards, the next program segment is automatically
executed�
In control mode "± x�x K": The hysteresis (tolerance) of the actual temperature to target
temperature is set (e�g� ± 0�1 K)� The target values and settings of the segment are valid until
the actual temperature reaches the target temperature +/- hysteresis for the first time�
Afterwards, the next program segment is automatically executed�
Timer:
In the "Timer" menu option, you can set "Timer / Counter" for "Mixing" and "Tempering"
separately�
You can set "Timer" value from 00:00:01 [hh:mm:ss] to 99:59:59 [hh:mm:ss]�
The tempering / mixinig function stops automatically after the set time has elapsed and the set
time appears on the display�
Note: If the tempering / mixing is stopped before the set timer value expires, the reverse
counting of the timer is interrupted�
If you set the "Timer" value to 00:00:00 [hh:mm:ss], the counter is active�
The counter automatically starts to run fom 00:00:00 [hh:mm:ss] upto 99:59:59 [hh:mm:ss]�
When the maximum value is reached, the device stops the mixing / tempering process�
Under the "Tempering" menu option, you can set the timer / counter "Start contidion" as:
Immediately: The timer / counter starts immediately when starting the tempering function�

dispatch from the factory (see “Menu structure”)�
Information:
The ”Information” option offers you an overview of the most important system settings of the
device�
Control mode "RAMP" is allowed to moderate evenly with a defined slope� The segment is
closed after the target temperature has been reached�
The gradient in K/min comes from the quotient of the temperature difference and the time
specified in the current segment�
The temperature difference is calculated from the target value temperatures of the current and
preceding segment�
Note: The ramp function can only be selected from the 2nd segment�
Delete: Deletes the selected program�
If a selected program is deleted by pressing on menu option “Delete” with the mixing button (J),
all the program parameters will be emptied� The symbol ( ) disappears�
Rename: Rename the selected program�
You can rename the selected program by touching the mixing button (J) on "Rename"� Then, you
can input a new name as required for the program with the keyboard appeared subsequently�

”Watchdog” functions, monitoring of the serial data flow:
If, once this function has been activated (see NAMUR commands), there is no retransmission
of the command from the computer within the set time (“watchdog time”), the tempering
and mixing functions are switched off in accordance with the set “watchdog” function or are
changed to the set target values�
The data transmission may be interrupted by, for example, a crash in the operating system, a
power failure in the PC or an issue with the connection table between the computer and the
device�
“Watchdog” – mode 1:
If there is an interruption in data communications (longer than the set watchdog time), the
tempering and mixing functions are switched off and Error 2 is displayed�
“Watchdog” – mode 2:
If there is an interruption in data communications (longer than the set watchdog time), the speed
target value is changed to the WD safety speed limit and the temperature target value is changed
to the WD safety temperature limit value� The error message Error 2 is displayed�
The above details correspond as far as possible to the recommendations of the NAMUR
working party (NAMUR recommendations for the design of electrical plug connections for
analogue and digital signal transmission on individual items of laboratory control equipment,
rev� 1�1)�
The NAMUR commands and the additional specific IKA commands serve only as low level
commands for communication between the device and the PC� With a suitable terminal or
communications program these commands can be transmitted directly to the device� The IKA
software labworldsoft®, provides a convenient tool for controlling the device and collecting
data under MS Windows, and includes graphical entry features, for motor speed ramps for
example�
/// Command syntax and format
The following applies to the command set:
› Commands are generally sent from the computer (Master) to the lab device (Slave)�
› The lab device only sends at the computer’s request� Even fault indications cannot be sent
spontaneously from the lab device to the computer (automation system)�
› Commands are transmitted in capital letters�
› Commands and parameters including successive parameters are separated by at least one
space (Code: hex 0x20)�
› Each individual command (incl� parameters and data) and each response are terminated
with Blank CR LF (Code: hex 0x0d hex 0x0A) and have a maximum length of 80 characters�
› The decimal separator in a number is a dot (Code: hex 0x2E)�
/// RS 232 interface
Configuration:
› The functions of the interface connections between the device and the automation system are
chosen from the signals specified in EIA standard RS 232 in accordance with DIN 66 020 Part 1�
› For the electrical characteristics of the interface and the allocation of signal status, standard RS
232 applies in accordance with DIN 66 259 Part 1�
› Transmission procedure: asynchronous character transmission in start-stop mode�
› Type of transmission: full duplex�
› Character format: character representation in accordance with data format in DIN 66 022 for
start-stop mode� 1 start bit; 7 character bits; 1 parity bit (even); 1 stop bit�
› Transmission speed: 9600 bit/s�
› Data flow control: none
› Access procedure: data transfer from the device to the computer takes place only at the
computer’s request�
