SEEDMASTER 2 FEATURES IN BRIEF

5.1

SeedMaster 2: OPERATOR STATION features

SeedMaster 2 represents a new tool for the on-line, on-site monitoring of crystallizers. It can be used as a
local OPERATOR STATION providing a large range of valuable and until now un-available information for
the pan operator. See Chapter 9 for the details.

5.1.1 CONFIGURE

CONFIGURE operations are designed to customize SeedMaster 2 according to local circumstances and
preferences. This involves:

• handling the use of up to 3 different purity feed syrups in the same batch strike,

• selection of the “STRIKE ACTIVE” information,
• selection of the “THIRD INPUT”,

• seeding details,

• active instrument selection,
• password input,

• communication specification.

Details of the procedures are described in Chapter 7.

5.1.2 SET UP

SET UP operations are designed to customize SeedMaster 2 according to the particularities of the
application. This involves setting up the

• display,
• different types of inputs,

• digital inputs and outputs,

• analog outputs.

Details of the procedures are described in Chapter 8.

5.1.3 DISPLAY

DISPLAY operations present all of the available information (measured, calculated, history, trend and alarm
data, system and test information) in well organized, pre-designed forms, including:

• MAIN DISPLAY
• STANDARD DISPLAY

• TRENDS

• STRIKE HISTORIES
• SYSTEM INFORMATION

• TEST DATA

Details of the procedures are described in Chapter 9.

5.1.4 MANUAL OPERATIONS

There are two different types of manual operations, which can be performed by using the SeedMaster 2
keyboard

Manual seeding

In order to be able to cope with un-expected situations or due to local preference, it is possible to implement
MANUAL SEEDING of the pan any time the pan operator decides to do so, if he previously enters the correct
password.
The STRIKE HISTORY feature will document faithfully the supersaturation data, when MANUAL SEEDING
was implemented.
Details of the procedures are described in Chapter 9.
