Dry ice cooling (CO ):

First put the feed product into the milling tube and then
add about half a teaspoon of dry ice snow. Thoroughly
mix the dry ice with the mill feed.
Remote control:
The instrument can be operated in "Remote" mode via
USB interface using labworldsoft
USB interface is located on the right side on the device and
can be connected to a PC using the supplied USB cable.
Note: Please note the system requirements as well as the
operating instructions and help section included within
the software.

USB interface:

The Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a serial bus for connect-
ing the device to the PC. Equipped with USB devices can
be connected to a PC during operation (hot plugging).
Connected devices and their properties are automatically
recognized. The USB interface can also be used to update
firmware.
USB device drivers:
First, download the latest driver for IKA
interface from http://www.ika.com/ika/lws/download/
usb-driver.zip and install the driver by running the setup
file. Then connect the IKA
cable to the PC.
The data communication is via a virtual COM port.
The following table summarize the (NAMUR) commands.

Please note that the mill feed heats up again extremely
quickly during crushing (it may reach room temperature
again after approximate 30 seconds of grinding). You may
have to repeat the process several times if the product is
not adequately crushed after one cooling process.
Command syntax and format:
The following applies to the command set:
- Commands are generally sent from the computer (Mas-
ter) to the device (Slave).
- The instrument sends only at the computer's request.
Even fault indications cannot be sent spontaneously from
the instrument to the computer (automation system).
- Commands are transmitted in capital letters.
- Commands and parameters including successive parame-
ters are separated by at least one space (Code: hex 0x20).
- Each individual command (incl. parameters and data)
and each response are terminated with Blank CR LF
(Code: hex 0x20 hex 0x0d hex 0x20 hex 0x0A) and have
a maximum length of 80 characters.
- The decimal separator in a number is a dot (Code: hex 0x2E).
The above details correspond as far as possible to the rec-
ommendations of the NAMUR working party (NAMUR
recommendations for the design of electrical plug con-
nections 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 com-
mands for communication between the tube driver and
the PC. With a suitable terminal or communications pro-
gram these commands can be transmitted directly to the
tube driver. The IKA software package, Labworldsoft
®
provides a convenient tool for controlling tube driver and
collecting data under MS Windows, and includes graphi-
cal entry features, for motor speed ramps for example.
Remark
After this command is sent to device,
"Remote" symbol is displayed, device
Keypad is not available except mains switch
is pressed.
Device Keypad is available again, and
"Remote" symbol disappear.
