- Producer: GIESEN coffee-roasters, The Netherlands
- Machines: WPG/WPE/W1/W6/W15/W30/W45/W60 with networked PLC (6/2014 and later)
- Connection: Siemens S7 network
- Features:
- logging of exhaust temperature (ET), bean temperature (BT) and related rate-of-rise curves
- logging and control of burner level, air flow, air temperature setpoint, drum speed
- logging of the optional infrared (IR) and/or environmental temperature sensor (Env)
- operation of actors (intake, flavouring, discharge, cooling, stirrer) on W30 and larger machines via custom buttons (press CMD-2 to switch to this extended button set; CMD-1 switches back to the standard button set)
Watch out! The WxA coarse setup is for older machines, which allow burner changes only in 10% steps.
Watch out! The WxA+ setups require an unlock code from Giesen and deliver data in higher resolution with decimals.
Setup
The computer running Artisan must be on the same IP network as the Giesen roaster. Configure your computer to use a static IP address in the range of the roaster (192.168.2.x, 192.168.3.x or 172.30.30.x) but with x different from that of the roaster (see the tables below). Choose 255.255.255.0 as subnet mask.

This can be done on Windows using the Network Sharing Center by adding a TCP/IPv4 Local Area Connection with those properties. On macOS you set your ethernet port in the Network Control panel to “IPv4: Manually” and fill in the IP and subnet mask accordingly.
Watch out! Artisan doesn’t monitor unsafe temperatures, so you should never leave the roaster alone.
