Calcination process of ADU granules into U � O � is one of high temperature reactor fuel making stage that did with temperature and time setting. The success of the process is strongly influenced by parameters of temperature and heating time, so that Calcination unit that can be used to automatically adjust the temperature rises stages and heating time is needed. The purpose of this research is to implement a control system of the ADU granules calcination process in PTAPB-BATAN that can acquire temperature and heating time during the process and manage the temperature and heating process automatically with gradually temperature rising. The system using PLC Trilogy T100MD2424+ as the main controller, Autonics TK4M-B4RN temperature controller, and thermocouple as hardware to control the ON/OFF heating process. The interface which programmed using LabVIEW 2011 for monitoring and acquiring data during the process. Data communication between PLC and PC using the RS-232 port with multi-point host link, data communication between PLC and temperature controller using the RS-485 port with Modbus protocol. The interface displays temperature and time data. Tables and graphs are also presented in the form of operation logbook and could be saved automatically in Microsoft Word format. Data acquisition and control system makes the calcination process is easier to do. From the result of first trial, second trial, and third trial, the temperature average when ON/OFF control is active, is too different with temperature set point which needed. So that, ON/OFF control is incompatible used for calcination process.
