Interface
By providing an exact kiln position measurement the KPE allows for compensation of the potential variations in kiln speed due to uneven coating build-up in the kiln. In the unlikely event that the KPE fails, the system will automatically operate from the kiln pulse signal if available.
The protective double-wall, stainless-steel scanner cabinet offers ample space for easy and open access to components. It is air-pressurised to maintain temperature below 50°C, to avoid dust entry, and maintain a dust-free viewing window. An electro-magnetic shutter automatically closes this window in case of power failure. The air is provided by an integrated high-power filter fan, which avoids the use of costly plant compressed air. The cabinet is finally equipped with temperature and pressure sensors which can be monitored via the software diagnostic facilities.
The system comes with a number of predefined views covering the most typical needs e.g. a temperature image / temperature profile view and a diagnostic view for scanner and communications status
Historical database
- storage of images and profiles
- short (5min) medium(1h) and long term(24h) horizons
- animation of historical data
Other facilities

This means that all the function and features of real-time client-server control system e.g. trending, reporting, supervision, alarm handling, PLC communication, dual language support, are also available in standalone ECS/CemScanner systems.
- Full 3D-360° kiln-internal view
- remote supervision and diagnostic of all hardware status
- dynamic trend curves
- handling up to 5 scanners in the same server
- advanced sectional alarm handling
Optional features
- measurement of lining thickness
- measurement of live-ring migration
- automatic control of cooling fans
- automatic external alarm activation
- full integration of IR-pyrometer measurements for scanning of possible obstacles
