User Interface and Data Entry
Menu driven via LCD Display and Tactile Keypad with addressable Soft-Keys.

Software
The unique pre-emptive control software enables operational trends to be optimised from external sources e.g. weather-station data, via EEPROM.All software is specially developed for each application.

EEPROM
Controller contains embedded EEPROM chip, allowing the permanent, non-volatile storage of vital parameters, e.g. set-up information, pin codes, telephone numbers etc. Exchange of EEPROM enables controller to be used on different types of equipment.

Security
Software features coded access to different user levels, e.g. users have coded access to Setup and Run/Stop sections. Managers and technical staffe access to configuration and test sections of software.

Communications
Controller provides both RS232 and RS485 communications ports.Remote control via Modem.

Graphics Display
The display can be configured for pixel addressable graphics enabling graphs and images to be displayed. All data can be logged to Hard Disk and processed on Windows based desktop P.C. software.

Battery Backup
The system RAM is battery backed, enabling the system to recover from power failures without loss of data in critical applications.

Safety
Software monitoring ensures all equipment recovers in safe-state from power failures etc. and provides multi-level alarms on local and remote stations.

Lighting Systems
Microprocessor control of 'PAR' intensity incl. dimming, lamp raise and lower, diurnal variation, logging to database, custom designed aluminum electromechanical elements incorporating wiring and controls.

Temperature Control
Fully integrated system incorporating closed loop glycol based cooling, ambient monitoring, energy optimization via weatherstation controlling multispeed fans and modulation control systems maintaining S.P. temperatures at minimum air velocities < 0.3m/sec. ramping and other emulation functions fully programmable by user.

The World's leading Micromalting System has been re-designed to ensure its status is maintained into the 21st century. Simplicity of operation and reliability have been further enhanced.

Traditional benefits of our system:

• Uniformity achieved through rotating drum design.
• High quality construction allows operation in harsh environments.
• Easily installed and maintained by the user.
• Flexibility of control system, allowing virtually any malting environment to be simulated.The new system has some major changes to the controls, refrigeration system, heat exchanger and water circulation systems.

The benefits are:

• Zero maintenance heat exchanger.
• Split refrigeration systems for air and water cooling, high reliability and easier maintenance.
• Zero risk of heat-exchanger damage from fault conditions.
• Higher water flow rate giving faster filling at Steep stages.
• All electronic level control, eliminating the problem of grain and debris entering the lower tank.

The controller is the very latest in digital control technology and offers many new benefits to the user such as remote operation and monitoring etc. via modem. Refer to controller details. Controller is integrated into machine top panel providing all information at a glance. Full specification available upon request.

Sophisticated computer based techniques together with expert design and user interaction ensures world class results.

Each design is optimized for the particular application.

Refrigerated or Evaporatively cooled systems are used subject to client requirements.

Design-cost efficiency and performance are major considerations in our designs.

Projects include the World's first High Humidity Automatically Controlled Refrigerated Greenhouse and the internationally recognized Phytotron at Adelaide's Plant Research Centre.

Each project is implemented on site by our own design management team.
