KEM-Net Data Logging and Control Software
The USB port on the back panel of the controller is an interface to J-KEM’s KEM-Net Software.
KEM-Net is free and can be downloaded from J-KEM’s web site at www.jkem.com.
KEM-Net provides remote control of up to 8 controllers,
graphical presentations of each digital meter and time &
temperature plots. Highlights of KEM-Net include:
* GLP and GMP compliant data logging
* Runs a 12 step temperature ramp
* Logging of Time and Temperature
* Logging of % Power for Exo and Endotherm detection
* Program KEM-IO Actions (Section 3.10)
* Over- & Under-temperature alarm functions.
KEM-Net also includes a virtual comm port driver that provides a simple ASCII interface to
operate and data log the controller from LabView or other software packages.
New Features:
GMP compliant data logging
Exo and Enotherm monitoring
KEM-IO
Remote Control of Laboratory Equipment based on Time and Temperature
KEM-IO is an optional feature that allows the controller to respond to inputs from instruments, like
a vacuum sensor or a hood door switch, and also to control instruments, like stirrers and chillers
based on reaction temperature. KEM-IO automates programs as simple as:
Heat my reaction to 80
o
C, then turn on my peristaltic pump to add reagents.
or as sophisticated as:
Turn on my stirrer, then ramp my reaction from 25
o
C to 100
o
C if 45 minutes, hold
for 2 hours, then turn off heating. When the reaction cools to 50
o
C, turn off the
stirrer. If at any point the reaction exotherms and heats above 110
o
C, turn on my
chiller and keep it on until I manually reset the system.
