The PROBA 5 is the successor of the PROBA 4 ripening controller.

The PROBA 5 is characterized by the central DIN-Rail control module, which can be mounted in a (central) switchcabinet. The operator can use the Proba 5 remotely by the VASP software or local at the ripeningroom by a touchscreen controlpanel.

With the touchscreen controlpanel (optional) it is possible to readout the room temperature and to change the set point. It is also possible to stop a program and to start the stand-by mode. This is important if the server crashes or the network is damaged. The normal operation will be taken place on the pc with VASP.

Each Proba 5 controller has got its own IP address and can be connected to a network switch, which is connected to the VASP pc. The VASP pc software should be installed on a server pc and can be used with every pc which on the network. The pc should have a browser with java.

The VASP software can control a maximum of 100 PROBA’s 5. If necessary, it is possible to make more locations. Each location can contain 100 controllers.

Ripening programs can be made by using a graph. In this graph it is very easy to make adjustments. Not only in default programs but also in running programs. Set point changes can take place with a ramp, with a step. or with a combination of these two. It is possible to make as many set point changes per day as you want.
