the profile is selected the stored ramp and soak recipe for each loop
is automatically setup.

Accurate Recipe Tracking: The ramp and soak software provides special
alarms and warnings in addition to the standard features of ANASOFT.
Tolerance levels are used for guaranteed soak, process warnings, and
process alarms.

Guaranteed Soak: An independent tolerance band can be entered
for each recipe segment. If the temperature is not within this
tolerance band, the soak time is stopped and remains stopped until
the temperature is within the band.

Alarms: A guaranteed soak time alarm can also be entered for each
recipe. If the temperature is out of tolerance for longer than this
entered time an alarm will occur.

Data Storage: Process data can be stored in LOTUS compatible
files to analyze process performance.

9.1.2 ANASOFT-32-CP: CARBON POTENTIAL MEASUREMENT
AND CONTROL
The Anafaze 32 System may be used for heat treating applications to
measure and control Carbon Potential. A Carbon Potential Input Module is
added to the SYSTEM 32 to allow the connection of most carbon potential
probes. The SYSTEM 32 software is expanded to provide the carbon
potential measurement and control. ANASOFT-32-CP software is also
available for IBM PC and compatible computers.

The Carbon Potential Input Module allows up to four inputs from carbon
probes. The outputs may be dual time proportioning outputs for solenoid
valve control or analog proportioning for motor positioning control.

The software provides for direct reading of the carbon potential of .15 to 1.4
%. The controller output for adding carburizing gas will be off, when the
temperature is below the setpoint of the temperature probe. This will be
adjustable from the tune menu of ANASOFT-32-CP.

The ANASOFT-32-CP software will allow ramp soak programs of the
carbon and temperature setpoints for customer customized furnace profiles.
The standard ANASOFT-32-CP will hold up to 100 furnace profiles and
each profile may have up to 16 segments. The standard use of setpoints may
be used without the use of the ramp soak programs.
