Vcolor 388

Vcolor 388 is a controller for steam tube deck ovens which have a centralised gas burner heating system. The controller has an open frame board and a remote user interface which consists of a 5-inch (M) or 7-inch (L) capacitive TFT touch-screen graphic display in glass which is installed vertically, either semi-recessed into the front or flush with the panel. It has 15 outputs with electro-mechanical relays (which can be expanded to 19 by fitting up to 2 optional modules in the dedicated slots on the main board) and can control from 3 to 5 decks: management of temperature and extraction of combustion and cooking fumes is centralised, whereas cycle duration, steam injection and venting are controlled separately for each deck.
The controller can save up to 99 recipes, each of which can be selected for any deck. Every recipe can have up to 8 phases, each with independent settings for duration, steam injection and venting. Recipes can be altered, overwritten and saved directly from the display and two different oven pre-heating setpoints can be set for every day of the week, with two start/stop times scheduled for each setpoint. Recipes can be compiled in an ODS file (complete with pictures in BMP or GIF format) and uploaded to the controller using a USB flash drive, thanks to the innovative programmable platform which allows users to customise their recipes and add new languages.
The controller has an oven cleaning function which uses pyrolysis, a self-cleaning mechanism that does not require chemical detergents as food residue is oxidised at high temperature.
Users can interact remotely with their equipment, including starting/stopping working cycles, using the EPoCA® cloud platform with Wi-Fi or Ethernet connectivity (which also enables alternative or parallel control through MODBUS TCP).
