Batching Examples

Example 1

The following example is used to dispense 100-LB
drafts, automatically reÞlling a hopper to 1000 LB
gross weight once the gross weight has dropped below
300 LB.

Setpoint 1 ensures that the hopper has enough
material to start the batch. If the hopper weight is 100
LB or higher, setpoint 1 is tripped.

SETPOINT=1
KIND=GROSS
VALUE=100
TRIP=HIGHER
BATCH=ON
ALARM=ON

Setpoint 2 waits for standstill, performs a tare, and
puts the indicator into net mode.

SETPOINT=2
KIND=WAITSS
PSHTARE=ON

Setpoint 3 is used as a reference (relative setpoint) for
setpoint 4.

SETPOINT=3
KIND=NET
VALUE=0
TRIP=HIGHER
BATCH=OFF

Setpoint 4 is used to dispense material from the
hopper. When the hopper weight goes below 100 LB
net the setpoint is tripped.

SETPOINT=4
KIND=–REL
VALUE=100
TRIP=LOW
BATCH=ON
DIGOUT=1
RELNUM=3

Setpoint 5 is used to evaluate the gross weight of
material in the hopper after dispensing. When the
hopper weight falls below 300 LB, digital output 2
becomes active and the hopper is reÞlled to 1000 LB.

SETPOINT=5
KIND=GROSS
VALUE=300
TRIP=HIGHER
HYSTER=700
BATCH=ON
DIGOUT=2

Setpoint 6 is used as a Òno ßow alarmÓ. If the process
in setpoint 4 is not completed in 10 seconds, digital
output 4 becomes active to signify a problem.

SETPOINT=6
KIND=TIMER
VALUE=100
START=4
END=5
DIGOUT=4

Example 2

The following example uses a CONCUR setpoint to
provide a two-speed simultaneous Þll of a hopper to a
net weight of 1000 LB.

Setpoint 1 ensures that the gross weight is within 50
LB of gross zero.

SETPOINT=1
KIND=GROSS
VALUE=0
TRIP=INBAND
BANDVAL=50
BATCH=ON

Setpoint 2 performs a tare once the scale is at
standstill.

SETPOINT=2
KIND=WAITSS
PSHTARE=ON
