Preliminary Investigations for a Measurement and Control Apparatus for Studying Natural Convection in a Core with Corrosion

[Automatically extracted and translated] The present study deals with the connection of a personal computer to a measurement and control cabinet of the NACOK test stand. The task of this work was to connect an office computer both hardware-wise and software-wise to the existing measurement and control cabinet. Hardware-wise, an interface card was installed and the complete cabling between the PC and the measurement cabinet was carried out. On the software side, the WIZCON program, which is used for control and data recording, was installed and configured accordingly. Furthermore, the corresponding diagrams and images were created for this program, which are needed for temperature control and measurement and which enable the visualization of the measurement results. This means that all controllers can be tested for their functionality using a heating element. Tests have shown that communication between the personal computer and the measurement cabinet works reliably.
