Weighing technology
When developing the control software for the draft shield for the high-precision Cubis® and the manual Cubis® MCM mass comparator, the object-oriented design was carried out in UML. C++ was used as the programming language and SeggerEmbos as the real-time operating system on a Renesas RX62 microcontroller.
Our tasks included the bidirectional data connection to the control element, the internal ionizer and the metrology module for measuring temperature, air pressure, humidity and brightness based on the CanOpen protocol, as well as the implementation of drivers and algorithms.
Heating technology
We designed and implemented the control software of the heating module for the MA family of moisture analyzers. The UML-based design was followed by various development tasks such as
- Connection to the sensor system via a separate 24-bit A/D converter
- Connection of the user interface via the customer’s own communication protocol
- Implementation of the control algorithm for the heating element
Bioprocess Solutions
During the development of a new product for the bioprocess industry, kumkeo supported the planning and implementation of development and production-related test activities as well as the development of an innovative user interface. This enables the central touchscreen-based control of various laboratory applications.
All project tasks were carried out entirely at our “Central Development” office in Hamburg.
