Chapter 1 - Overview

The 9215 is SSi’s versatile atmosphere programmable controller with Ethernet, RS485 Modbus, and DF1 communications to various Client devices such as temperature controllers, flow meters, and PLCs.  This instrument can be used to address many thermal processing applications where nitriding or ferritic nitrocarburizing (FNC), along with event I/O management, are necessary.  The 9215 has math block capability allowing custom calculations and custom Modbus mapping for communications.

 

The 9215 recipe programmer includes 24 independent steps per recipe with operational codes (opcodes) to enable effective process control. The 9215 also supports multiple user interface screens for more flexibility. Screen sizes include 5.7” and 12.1”. Functionality added to the screens include “stylus” notes entry, user defined data points and trend charts for paperless chart recording, zoom and pan touch screen control on the charting screen, and remote data retrieval through Ethernet.
