Advances improve feeder control and customization
The Disocont loss-in-weight feeder-control platform (photo) includes several new features, which have been added to simpify operation and allow for greater opportunities for customization. These include improved user-defined calibration sequences, detailed event messaging texts and the use of HTML5 for online equipment monitoring (a change from Java).This provides a wider range of access and compatibility through various web browsers and smartphones, says the company. Users can set up folders to ensure quick access to all of the different parameters that are critical and unique to each individual process. Parameters that are rarely used can be hidden, thereby eliminating the need to search through multiple parameters that are not relevant for the user’s particular process. — Schenck, Kansas City, Mo.
