New functions for the JUMO mTRON T measuring,
control, and automation system
With the mTRON T, JUMO GmbH & Co. KG is increasingly
evolving into a system supplier instead of just a supplier of
components. The measuring, control, and automation
system has been introduced to the market with great
success and is already represented in a highly-diverse range
of sectors. The range of functions on the mTRON T is being
consistently expanded to meet customer needs. A program
generator with procedural steps, an optimized user
management system, and an extended process screen
editor are now available as updates.
As an option in the mTRON T central processing unit, a program
generator is available especially for thermal treatments or
thermal procedures. Up to nine asynchronous program
generators can be activated. This standard program generator
type allows setpoint value profiles to be specified. A setpoint
value profile forms a program, together with the conditions of the
control contacts.
A special program generator type is required for curing, cooking,
and smoking chambers or for heating cabinets, cold chambers,
and test chambers. In these areas, procedural steps are defined
by the plant manufacturer (e.g. as a PLC application). Here, the
user has no access, as special knowledge of plant operation is
required. During program entry in the JUMO setup program, the
user completes the procedural steps with the setpoint values for
the program sections that have been defined by the plant
manufacturer. Examples of the setpoint values include the
chamber temperature or humidity, the core temperature, or the
intensity of the smoke generator. The processing of the program
sections is then defined as a program by the user.
In addition, various functions are extended in the system when
the new program generator type is implemented and summarized
as a new stage of expansion. This includes additions to the user
management system and amendments to the process screen
editor.

Press release
Users in a variety of industries have expressed the wish to
configure the display and operation options according to the user
who is signed in. As a result, up to 50 users – each with ID,
name, and password – could be managed by the system in the
future. The special feature here is that new users can be defined
in the JUMO setup program or installed directly in the JUMO
mTRON T multifunction panel. The option of defining up to 16
user groups in the JUMO setup program with individual rights is
available.
Currently, up to 18 individual process screens can be shown in
the JUMO mTRON T multifunction panel. The process screens
are created in the JUMO setup program using the process
screen editor. In the future, the option of defining up to 16 levels
in each process screen will be available. When a process screen
is created, the individual process screen objects are assigned to
the corresponding level. The visibility and editability of each
process screen level can be influenced by the soft PLC and the
aforementioned user groups. In addition, the process screen
object types are extended to include points such as program
selection and batch reporting.
