The Available Control Software Options for Cronimo R&D
and Production Fluidized Bed Dryers
General Description:
The control system options for the CroNiMo fluid bed dryers range from basic manual hardwired controls with virtually no data collection or analysis to CroNiMo SoftLogic, which is an advanced, CFR 21 compliant, recipe-based control system.
CroNiMo SoftLogic Automatic Controls
SoftLogic HMI
Control Panel
The Cronimo SoftLogic automatic control system is either an Allen-Bradley or Siemens based PLC-PC system with a touchscreen HMI. The system allows the operator to select either the manual or fully automatic mode of operation when beginning a batch. The main screen that the operator sees when turning on the system and is properly logged in is the main screen which has on it a group of six (6) touchscreen buttons named Operation, Recipe, Security, Information, Engineering and End. The information organization behind each of these 6 buttons is the same for all CroNiMo products using the SoftLogic control system. Operators who have been trained on a CroNiMo granulator for example and are then assigned to a CroNiMo fluid bed will notice right away that the control system main screen is identical and the organization behind the buttons has the same look and feel as the granulator did. This design approach promotes intuitive learning of the CroNiMo controls by the operators who use the system and facilitates ease of training new operators as well.
SoftLogic allows the operator to specify what the process will be in a step-by-step fashion configuring along the way a complete process definition which can then be saved as a recipe available in the recipe database for reuse or editing in the future. If the recipe is defined as “non-programmed” then the software allows the operator to execute the batch by manual control.
