Thanks so much

Hello,

the software Psoft don´t communicate with my PC 410 with RS 485 connection over USB. I´ve connected pin 9 and 10.
What´s the mistake?

No one is having this password issue?

Password is on serial.txt file (like 49327-33212-45674). The serial no is the password.

The software works fine with my station (http://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthr...t=60563&page=2 #32) , usually I put the bottom thermocouple directly on the heating element surface because I think if this thermocouple is placed on motherboard's bottom surface when the top heater goes on , its power sends off-scale the bottom pid.
Where you place the bottom thermocouple ?
thanks

The thermocouple is placed directly on the surface of the motherboard near the chip

[jasko_jacker]

But you have a machine with bottom preheater and bottom heater ?

Yes, I have a soldering station

[jasko_jacker]

use you a direct com port or usb to serial adapter ?
have you set the com port on device manager ? (baud , etc)
what type of OS you have installed ?
on which soldering station do you want to use this software?
on many station (after you have resolve the connect issue) need to make some change.

[Hampy]

I use an usb to serial adapter and set the com port correctly. I use windows 8.1.
I don´t use a soldering station I want using the PC 410 as temperatur ramp-controller with my kiln.

[Hampy]

Hello,

I see that Psoft goes only till 300°C. But I need 850°C for controlling the kiln.
Is this right?

This software is made only for use with bga rework machine as achi or similar , with a modified hardware. Other use are not recommended.
The goal of this software is that it can drive the bottom heater directly with the thermocouple placed directly on the bottom layer of the motherboard in the same place as the thermocouple on the top heater.
I don't know your purpose about it's use

So you need both PC410s to have RS232 communication to use this software?

[jasko_jacker]

Usually in many bga rework machine (chinese brand) the top heater is
drived by altec p410 and bottom heater by rex-c100 (on the internet many altec or rex are clones) but
while the upper heater is operated by the altec that follows the set profiles, the temperature of the lower heater gradually changes from min to max, regardless of the temperature on the motherboard.
Instead, this software drive the bottom heater to generate a temperature on the bottom layer of motherboard proportionally to a temperature on top layer.
The circuits of the controllers are separated, each one has a digital relay and an input for the thermocouple, but only the altec has a rs232 port and therefore a software can only drive the top heater.
With an easy modification you can solve this problem and use the psoft program. To avoid errors in temperature it is important that the two temocouples are positioned on the same point, or very close; one on top and the other on the bottom layer
