Many processes involve a lot of recurring tasks which can be very time-consuming, especially if they are carried out in shift operations by different users, for example. Schenck Process has designed the DC-Touch operating unit for these very circumstances.

Simple operation, impressive results
The DC-Touch operating unit isn‘t fancy but works just as the operator expects it to. Designed for quick and easy, routine control tasks on loss-in-weight feeders, belt weighers, weigh feeders and mass flow meter and feeding devices, it concentrates on the essentials. DC-Touch can be used to parameterise and configure all connected weigh feeders. Usage is further simplified by intuitive menu support when changing bulk materials, carrying out routine setting and calibration work and optimising control parameters. Even less experienced staff will quickly be able to operate the DC-Touch operating unit OP1.

Clear screens for control, calibration, trends graphs and parameters also reduce the operator‘s workload. The program itself contains help texts which are self-explanatory and save users the time they would otherwise spend consulting manuals.

Tough on action
The device can be used at temperatures of between -10°C and +60°C in protection class IP 65. It is available as a built-in unit in the MechaTron control electronics, as a switch cabinet or in the separate field housing for wall mounting.
