Data Bridge
Our little magic black box
The RoastLog Data Bridge is what allows us to collect roast data from
your roaster. It is available in two versions: 4-input and 1-input.
The 4-input Data Bridge, when coupled with the
appropriate plan,
supports
recording of up to four different time/temperature plots on each roast.
The bridge connects up to four type-J or type-K thermocouples,
mix-and-match.
With four different thermocouples installed, temperatures
from up to four different locations may be recorded. For example, track
the temperature in the:
- Bean mass
- Drum air
- Exhaust air
- Afterburner
Don’t need all four inputs? No problem – just use what you need. The
software will automatically plot the traces associated with the inputs
that are connected to TCs.
Single-input bridges are also available, a convenient option for
profiling roasts by simply measuring the temperature of the bean mass.
The single-input Data Bridge works with type-K thermocouples exclusively.
Our 4-input and single-input Data Bridges
Both Data Bridge versions use
mini TC connectors
and
standard type-A USB
connections.

documentation section
for more information on thermocouples and TC placement.
