4 START-MENÜ „MAIN“
4.1 General Notes
The „Main“ menu is displayed after switching on the DCU3 - system. With the new „object-based“ dis-
play of entries and the direct selection of submenus and functions for data input and mode selection,
the main menu is the control center for operation during a fermentation run.
The schematic display of the culture vessel together with the connected peripheral assemblies, the
symbols for stirrers, pumps, totalizers, balance system and the location of the electrodes facilitates the
overview over the state of the process parameters. Above this it is the starting point for easy access to
the submenus and subfunctions for inputs and selections.
4.2 Process Information Provided by the „Main“ Menu
The main menu displays the process values together with schematics of the related component parts
of the fermentor system:
Measured values for pH, pO
2
, foam, etc.;
Inputs of external actuators, such as motor control, massflow controller;
Processed values, such as dosing volumes of pumps, totalizers, calculated values of arith-
metic functions, etc.;
Signals of external devices connected to the DCU3 - system, such as a balance system;
The extent of displayed entries, process values and parameters depends on the configuration of the
DCU3 - system for the related fermentor system. The table on next page gives an overview on com-
mononly applied tags and entries.
