Dear Artisan user group;
I have received an error I have not seen before using a Mac with the latest solfware : Sierra with a 64 bit system.
We have installed the CP210 driver with our data logger using Omron controls.
Here is a screen shot:
Modbus Error: Read float() hex() argument can't be converted to hex@line 30521
Could it be we have the wrong driver installed?
We use to use the FT232 driver but data driver was upgraded to a new model that has worked with the CP210 driver on most models (this data logger is setup for future use with Bluetooth capabilities)
Thank You;
Randy Harper
Hi,
On the device page https://artisan-scope.org/devices/meters/
I read that the optically isolated Victor 86B is compatible with Scope,
while others say Scope do not work with USB HID devices, such as the Victor
DMM....
My Victor 86B shows up in the device manager under USB HID devices in win 7.
In Artisan 2.0.0 Scope config devices is set to Meter/Victor 86B after
which a port config window appears to select a com port.
I have installed the CP210X driver, and would expect a virtual comport to
show up, when the Victor 86B is connected, but that does not seem to happen.
Any suggestions to cure the problem, please let me know.
Alternatively, for two K-type sensors, which optically isolated solution is
the choice for Artisan Scope 2.0.0, please.
Thanks in advance,
Henrik
Recently the batch numbers reset to 0 and started counting up again. I try
to change it back, but it won't stick. How can I set the Batch counter
back to the correct number? Config...Batch... is not working.

Re-adding the email list back so we all gain the insight into your journey
You still didn’t answer about whether you’re replacing stock probes with new probes (so connecting the new probes to the inbuilt measurement system of the roaster) or if you’re attaching them to an external thermocouple reading device like a Phidget?
Since very few people are likely to have a ZR7 you’re going to be largely feeding us info that we can’t guess or fill in.
You said: “I assume this means that I will need to change some settings because I changed the probes.”
If you meant you’d have to change something in Artisan, then I think your assumption will not be correct. There’s nothing in Artisan that has anything directly to do with probes. It simply reads the device it’s attached to. If there’s any settings that need changing then they are going to be in whatever you’ve attached the probes to (the roaster PIDs or the Phidgets; see earlier question). It could be that your thermocouples (which are most likely K-type thermocouples) so if you’re replacing the inbuilt controller sensors’ probes you may find that you have an incorrect probe type – did the other person talk about what probes they used ?
You said “The previous probes were not sensitive enough for recording accurate temperatures”. Sensitive and accurate are two different behaviours, not related.
Absolute accuracy is only important if you’re trying to reproduce a roast using someone else’s temperatures – which if I’m honest you should probably just forget about attempting – for your own roasting, so as long as the probe reads 180*C at the same temperature time after time, I.e. it is repeatably accurate, that is sufficient to roast with. After all, what you’re wanting to do is produce the magic roast, and then be able to repeat it tomorrow or next week. If you are concerned about having it in an appropriate ballpark, you can apply a formula to the values within Artisan to scale the value to what you think is “accurate”. Ultimately quality comes down to the cup quality of the output, not what the temperature was at 6min 25 seconds into the roast (although clearly how you got to that temperature, and what you do after that temperature, are critical). I’d also say that physical coffee change milestones against time are much more important data points, compared to what temperature green to yellow transition happened for example. If this is about learning the new roaster then I can understand how you’d want to try to get consistency between your previous (or second) roaster or so you can transfer the roast curve between your two roasters as you do different batch sizes, but you’re always going to find they roast and cup differently so you’re always going to be going through the roast/taste/adjust cycle... I’d always start by trying to stick to your general milestones and durations, not temperatures, and adjust from there to suit the different roaster.
An easy way to check accuracy is to use two water solutions – boiling water and iced water – If you have the existing probes and the new probes accessible and measure with both, you can tell whether they are reading accurately. You can also get a feel for how close they read to real temperatures, as they’ll be close to 100*C and 0*C (well most likely sub 10*C anyway). Doing this can also tell you if the electronics that read the probes are correctly interpreting things too – if you have the wrong thermocouples, you might find the iced temperatures show say 20*C and the boiling temp 150*C.
A probe’s “sensitivity” is about it’s reaction to changing temperatures, ie how fast it can respond to a change in it’s environmental temperature. Typically a thicker probe has more thermal mass so requires more temperature differential to change and is therefore less sensitive. A thinner probe has less thermal mass and therefore responds to change quicker, so is more sensitive. It’s no more accurate, and in fact can be less so, but it just responds quicker. This is a thermodynamic behaviour of probes, and are completely dependent on the metal used in the probe, the thermowell the sensor is in inside the probe, and can even be influenced by how the probe is mounted. However the main way to deal with a sensitivity issue is usually to replace the probe.
However when I read what you’re describing in how the temperature that Artisan can read “lags” behind an actual change in temperature, seemed actually more like you were using a thicker probe, rather than a thinner probe, or the probes were completely the wrong type for whatever you have them connected to. Again, here’s where you can use the ice/boiling water tests to see how things change over time... put the probe in the ice water, wait until the temp that Artisan shows stabilises (it’s like the turning point!) and then put it in the boiling water and see how quickly the probes start to read the change in temperature. You can also time how quickly it stabilises at the upper temperature which is an indicator of sensitivity.
And here’s some more reading - https://artisan-roasterscope.blogspot.com/2014/01/sampling-interval-smoothi… has some info on smoothing settings and sampling intervals, which assuming you changed nothing else should still be consistent with your “old” setup and wouldn’t introduce any behavioural change like you talk about, but is important background for once you get things sorted.
Cheers
Brett

Subject: Re: [Artisan-user] Re: Sampling
Hello…and thank you for your quick replies
After reading your comments and having a check of the roaster and some read outs, I think that at least some of the issue may be the time it takes for the actual temperature change to flow through to Artisan. I assume this means that I will need to change some settings because I changed the probes.
I changed the probes after speaking to another roaster who has the ZR7 Silon and has produced much better roasts as a result. The previous probes were not sensitive enough for recording accurate temperatures. The bean and drum temperature were actually far higher than the probes were showing. Since changing I have had far better roasts but know that if I can sort this issue out they will be even better.
I purchased the probes from Mill City Roasters in the US. This is the link https://millcityroasters.com/shop/roaster-parts-accessories/replacement-par…<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmillcityr…>
I will get the information together about the probes so I can post it on here. I am also going to do a few roasts tomorrow to check the response times. I can then get the information together that you have asked for.
Thanks for your help. Much appreciated.
Steve

I repeat those questions – tell us why you replaced them, whether you replaced them connected to the PIDs or through a phidgets (or equivalent) outside the CTE controls, and tell us what exactly you mean “response is 4-5 seconds”. Do you mean that it takes 4-5 seconds for a single read of the data to populate into Artisan? Or do you mean that it takes 4.5 seconds for the actual temperature change to flow through to the recording that Artisan is doing. Most likely we will need more info than this too, but at least this way we can start to assist and direct you.

Subject: [Artisan-user] Re: Sampling
Hi Steve,
What prompted you to replace the original probes? Were the new ones provided by Coffee-Tech? What is the exact tech spec difference between the old and new probes?
Can you add a roast profile from before the probe change and one after so we see what you mean? It’s good to see how ’smooth’ the RoR was and is for comparison.
Best also attach your settings file, so the experts here can look at your settings.
Marko posted blogs about smoothing a while back, have you read that? One of them:
https://artisan-roasterscope.blogspot.com/2017/07/more-on-digital-noise.html<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fartisan-r…>

Hi Guy,
you sent the reply plus attachments to my personal email — to get people with a similar setup as yours to see it, best send it to the mailing list. Since the list does not accept large attachments, best make it a small screen snapshot, not a photograph of the entire screen.
About Ramp-Soak: I don’t use that method these days but I did blog about it when I did, like here:
https://kostverlorenvaart.blogspot.com/2014/02/first-pxg4-controlled-roasts… <https://kostverlorenvaart.blogspot.com/2014/02/first-pxg4-controlled-roasts…>
Patience with a learning curve, taking it one new step at a time is the better method. Trying to do it all at once can be too ambitious if many of the techniques and terms are completely new to you.
Teaching yourself to roast with the little roaster, and then adding one connection at a time, seeing how that works, reading all about it, was very productive for me in the early stages.
A technician could help you set up the controls so that they actually work.
You could also buy one of the roaster models that is already supported from the start and with just one menu click you would be on your way.
The alternative is very adventurous and not easy ;-)

Hi Guy,
Your roaster looks nice: https://cormorant-roasters.business.site/
A screen snapshot of your alarms would be easier to ‘read’ I think. Then maybe someone with similar setup would immediately see what’s wrong.
If in Artisan you have clicked ON then the program is active and no statistics can be saved of course since nothing has been completed yet. Just like at the start of a sports event we do not know who wins what medals ;-0
Ramp/Soak is a term in PID process control technology, not something unique to Artisan so it needs no explanation in Artisan. Simply put, it’s like a stairway in time: for instance "go to 150ºC, hold for a bit, then move up to 180ºC", etc.
It would be advisable, I think, to consult a technician nearby. It seems you try to do and learn a lot of things all at the same time.

I figured out how to activate the burner and fan manually with a phidget
and sliders or buttons.
now for the control part if i use the alarm to start activation of the fan
or burner from a certain point it works
but how do i stop it?
i looked at article *pid control *and did not find anything about set up
for control with phidgets
if i use background profile and start i do not get any tracking of the
curve i only use the device now as simulation so not real heat is involved
but i expected opening of the burner in order to reach sv
the sv slider is changing as expected to the temperature of each point in
the background curve
so there is something i miss.
Also what cases do I use background and when ramp and soak is it possible
to put values of temperature in the ramp and soak table and expect that the
burner and fan will open and close in order to get the sv in the table
along the roasting? Is that its purpose?
Is there documentation about this I can refer to?
and a small question I did not find. How can I print labels from the roast
properties as mentioned in documentation.
is it also possible to add the cup profile to the label?
regards
Guy

Hi Dan,
This screenshot helps a lot. For the date and time time you want to
enter "~datetime" (without the quotes). This gives a date in the form
of yy-MM-dd_hhmm. Of course I don't know what you have in the title
field of your Roast Properties, but assuming it is "PNG KetoTapasi" then
you will want to use the field "~title". Here is a screenshot with that
as an example.
I notice you use underbars instead of spaces. That's fine, but the
title field takes the title as is so if you want an underbar there you
would need to have it in the title field.
If "PNG KetoTapasi" is not in the Title, but is in the Beans field,
there are ways of accessing that too.
Take a look at the help for this dialog. All the available fields are
documented there and you will also find some examples that you can cut
and paste into this dialog to get a feel for what is possible.
