JASCH QCS Integration

System Overview

JASCH Industries is a leading Indian manufacturer of Quality Control Systems (QCS) for the paper industry. Their systems are widely installed in Indian paper mills and offer excellent compatibility with the PowerFlow Dilution Control System via Modbus TCP.

Supported Models

The following JASCH QCS models are supported:

Network Setup

Configure the network connection between the Dilution Control PC and the JASCH QCS system:

Physical Connection

1. Connect an Ethernet cable from the control PC to the industrial switch
2. Ensure the JASCH QCS computer/controller is on the same network
3. Use CAT5e or CAT6 Ethernet cables for reliable connection

IP Configuration

Configure the control PC with a static IP address in the same subnet as the JASCH system:

Modbus Configuration

Configure the Dilution Control System to connect to the JASCH QCS:

1. Open Scanner Configuration

   Go to Settings > Scanner Configuration

2. Select Scanner Type

   Choose JASCH from the Scanner Type dropdown, or select Generic Modbus for manual configuration

3. Configure Connection

   Connection Settings

   Interface	Modbus TCP	Standard protocol
   IP Address	192.168.1.50	JASCH QCS IP
   Port	502	Modbus TCP standard
   Slave ID	1	Default
   Timeout	3000 ms	Recommended

4. Configure Profile Settings

   Profile Settings

   Number of Databoxes	200	Match JASCH configuration (typically 100-250)
   Profile Register	0	Starting register address
   Data Type	Float 32-bit	IEEE 754
   Byte Order	Big Endian	JASCH default (verify with JASCH)

5. Test Connection

   Click Test Connection to verify communication

6. Save Configuration

   Click Save to apply settings

Register Map

The JASCH QCS exposes profile data via Modbus registers. The exact register addresses may vary based on JASCH configuration.

Typical JASCH Register Map

JASCH Contact for Register Map

To obtain the exact Modbus register map for your JASCH system:

• Contact JASCH Industries technical support
• Provide your JASCH model number and software version
• Request the Modbus TCP communication protocol document

Zone Mapping

Configure the mapping from JASCH scanner databoxes to dilution actuator zones:

Mapping Parameters

Verifying Zone Mapping

To verify correct zone mapping:

1. Open the Profile Display in the main window
2. Compare the displayed profile with the JASCH QCS display
3. Verify the profile edges align correctly
4. If possible, create a known disturbance and verify it appears in the correct zone

Testing & Verification

1. Verify Connectivity

   Ping the JASCH QCS from the control PC:

   ping 192.168.1.50

   Expected: Successful ping response

2. Test Modbus Connection

   In Scanner Configuration, click Test Connection

   Expected: "Connection successful" message

3. Verify Profile Data

   Check the Profile Display panel:

   • Profile should update with each scanner traverse
   • Values should be in expected basis weight range
   • Profile shape should match the JASCH display

4. Compare with JASCH Display

   Compare key values:

   • Profile average should match JASCH average
   • Profile sigma (2-sigma) should match
   • Number of valid databoxes should match

5. Test Profile Response

   If safe to do so, create a small process disturbance and verify:

   • Disturbance appears in the correct position
   • Zone mapping is correct
   • Response direction is correct
