II. System Configuration
In this chapter you get information concerning system configuration, temperature control device,
optional computer system and data- and signal flow of your Rheometer system.
The Rheometer system R/S Rheometer consists of:
-
electronic unit with measuring drive integrated in one housing
-
stand with working surface
- AC-adaptor
as accessories are supplied:
•
printer
•
coaxial cylinder measuring system (see Appendix A)
•
temperature measuring sensor Pt100
•
standard measuring device ME-CP/PP for cone/plate and plate/plate measuring systems
•
cone/plate- and plate/plate measuring systems
•
temperature control device “FTK-CC“
•
cooling device “KE“
•
fluids circulation thermostat
•
computer system
•
software RHEO 2000
bold printed accessories are necessary for minimal configuration
II.1 R/S
Rheometer
The Rheometer electronics with measuring drive are built-in in one housing.
The R/S Rheometer system can serve due to consequent use of microelectronics with special
capacities:
⇒
digital control of rotational speed and torque
⇒
automatic matching of control parameters during measurement
⇒
direct indication of measured and calculated values of speed, shear rate, torque, shear stress,
viscosity, temperature, time etc.
⇒
internal measuring values storage
⇒
measuring values output to a printer (parallel centronics)
⇒
user support by dialog mode at LCD-display with clear text output
⇒
built-in system interface with serial standard interface (RS-232-C) for the direct connection of a
computer or other serial data-loggers.
⇒
printing and serial data-transmission while measuring possible
The R/S Rheometer is operated manually using foil keyboard at the front panel or under computer
control. The power supply of the R/S Rheometer with direct current is carried out by AC-adaptor.
