Brief description

The DICON touch is a universal process and program controller with 4 control channels, which

displays information on a vibrant display and is operated intuitively with touchscreen.

Up to 4 control channels are available via the tried-and-tested JUMO control algorithm with two

possible optimization variants. These enable a simple and highly-accurate startup. Even multiple-

zone control, cascade control, or other complex control tasks are therefore possible.

In the following block diagram, the various hardware options of the modular hardware concept

are depicted. 4 analog universal inputs and up to 8 external inputs can acquire a variety of physical

measured values with high precision. Thanks to different output variants, the actuators can

be controlled directly in the device, either in an analog manner or digitally. These can be expanded

further through external digital outputs. To communicate with higher-level systems, interfaces

such as Modbus (master/slave), PROFIBUS, PROFINET-RT, or Ethernet with web server, can

be used.

To ensure secure process operation, the device has password-protected user administration with

individual assignment of rights for different levels or control commands. Screen masks for controllers,

program generators, recording, and for overview screens are ready-made and available.

Four individual process screens can be created as desired using the configuration software. Important

analog and digital process values can be saved in a tamper-proof manner with the recording

extra code, visualized graphically, and exported to PC in a tamper-proof manner via

interface or USB flash drive.

The configuration software allows for the process controller to be programmed with ease, for

math and logic coherences to be described, and for customer-specific linearizations to be created.

Additionally, tools are included for simulating external signals or the control process, or to record

for the duration of the startup.

A comprehensive alarm and limit value concept as well as flexible digital signal management

complete the all-in-one device.
