BatchMaster is an individual batch furnace management package, based upon a subset of AFC-Holcroft’s highly successful

ProcessMaster™ heat treating supervisory system. The main operator HMI interface is a NEMA 4 industrial panel PC with a full color 15” wide view, LCD touch screen. The HMI communicates to the batch furnace PLC controller. This configuration is used for full operational control and was selected to obtain the communication speed required to obtain reliable transfer of information. The 15” color graphic LCD displays a variety of screens for viewing control loops, setpoints, recipe entry, process trending and other analog and digital status. All process parameters are read every second and recorded every minute. The disk storage will handle 10 years of process data.
