The above details correspond as far as possible to the recommendations of the NAMUR work-
ing party (NAMUR recommendations for the design of electrical plug connections for analogue 
and digital signal transmission on individual items of laboratory control equipment, rev� 1�1)�

The NAMUR commands and the additional specific IKA commands commissioning serve only 
as low level commands for communication between the device and the PC� With a suitable ter-
minal or communications program these commands can be transmitted directly to the device� 
The IKA software package, Labworldsoft

®

, provides a convenient tool for controlling device 

and collecting data under MS Windows, and includes graphical entry features, for motor speed 
ramps for example�

NAMUR Commands

Function

IN_NAME

Read the device name

IN_PV_1

Read actual external sensor value 

IN_PV_2

Read actual hotplate sensor value 

IN_PV_4

Read stirring speed value 

IN_PV_5

Read viscosity trend value 

IN_SP_1

Read rated temperature value

IN_SP_3

Read rate set safety temperature value 

IN_SP_4

Read rate speed value

OUT_SP_1_x
(x=0���310)

Adjust the set temperature value

OUT_SP_4_x
(x=0���1500)

Adjust the set speed value 

START_1

Start the heater

STOP_1

Stop the heater 

START_4  

Start the motor

STOP_4  

Stop the motor

RESET

Switch to normal operating mode

SET_MODE_n 
(n=A, B, or D) 

Set operating mode

OUT_SP_12@n

Setting WD safety limit temperature with set value echo

OUT_SP_42@n

Setting WD safety limit speed with set value echo

OUT_WD1@m

Watchdog mode 1: if event WD1 should occur, the heating and stirring 
functions are switched off and Er02 is displayed� Set watchdog time to m 
(20 - 1,500) seconds, with watchdog time echo� This command launches the 
watchdog function and must be transmitted within the set watchdog time�

OUT_WD2@m

Watchdog mode 2: if event WD2 should occur, the speed target value is 
changed to the WD safety speed limit and the temperature target value is 
changed to the WD safety temperature limit value� The warning WD is dis-
played� The WD2 event can be reset with OUT_WD2@0 - this also stops 
the watchdog function� Set watchdog time to m (20 - 1,500) seconds, with 
watchdog time echo� This command launches the watchdog function and 
must be transmitted within the set watchdog time�
