JUMO DICON touch Process and Program Controller

Overview

JUMO DICON touch is a two-channel/four-channel process and program controller with an integrated paperless recorder and a vibrant TFT color touchscreen, engineered to handle complex control and management tasks with intuitive touch operation. Combining precise, tried-and-tested JUMO control algorithms with a fully modular hardware architecture, the JUMO DICON touch adapts to individual plant requirements ranging from simple two-point control through multi-zone and cascade control tasks.

As the official authorized partner and exclusive regional representative for JUMO, Seven Star LLC proudly supplies the JUMO DICON touch process and program controller to industrial process, heat treatment, and manufacturing customers across Oman and the wider GCC. Every unit shipped through Seven Star LLC is genuine JUMO product with full manufacturer warranty and access to local technical support – ensuring facility engineers and procurement teams in Muscat, Sohar, and Salalah receive an authentic, factory-certified JUMO DICON touch backed by regional service.

Working Principle

The JUMO DICON touch operates its two (or four) control channels using the tried-and-tested JUMO control algorithm, offering two-point, three-point, three-step, and continuous controller types, including a continuous controller with integrated position controller for direct valve or actuator positioning. Two possible optimization options simplify autotuning during startup, enabling accurate control of even complex thermal or process loads, and the device supports multiple zone control and cascade control configurations directly from its onboard control engine.

Four analog universal inputs, expandable with up to eight external inputs, record a wide range of physical measured values with high precision, and depending on the output variant selected, actuators can be driven directly with either analog or digital signals, with further expansion available through external digital output modules. Communication with superordinate systems is handled through Modbus (master/slave), PROFIBUS-DP, PROFINET IO device, or Ethernet with an integrated web server, allowing the DICON touch to integrate cleanly into existing plant control architectures.

Engineering Design of the JUMO DICON touch

The JUMO DICON touch presents information on a 3.5 in. TFT color graphics display (320 x 240 pixels, 256 colors) with resistive touchscreen operation, responding to finger pressure or a rounded plastic-tip stylus rather than dedicated physical control buttons. Plain-text menus are available in English, German, French, and additional languages, and a PC-based configuration program allows engineers to build individual, freely-definable process screens incorporating measured values, relay status indications, and edit boxes for a clear overall plant overview.

The controller carries a tamper-proof paperless recording function that stores important analog and digital process values for graphical visualization and export via interface or USB flash drive, supporting industrial heat treatment traceability requirements such as AMS 2750E and CQI-9. A comprehensive alarm and limit-value concept, with 16 limit value monitoring functions and 8 selectable alarm functions each carrying timer and confirmation capability, combines with a flexible digital signal administration scheme, math and logic module, and password-dependent user management to round out the “all-in-one” device. The housing is rated IP66 at the front and mounts via panel cutout, with an operating temperature range of -5°C to +55°C.
