Bolded items indicate the softkey default settings
Order Based Loading Load Only
Order Only
Mixed Select the Load Only softkey if all loads will be entered individually. Order Only
if all loads will be done through orders, and Mixed if some will be orders and
some individual loads.
Keyed Order ID No
Yes Select Yes if you wish to enter your own order IDs.
Metric (S.I.) System No
Yes Select Yes if operating using metric measurements.
State Regulatory Mode Standard
MnDot
CAL TRAN
NYSDOT
Other
Selects the desired state regulatory mode to operate in.
(Only Standard and MnDOT are currently supported)
See Truck Formatting information in Section xx on page dd for more
information on MnDot regulatory mode.
Mix Design Weights
SSD
OD Indicate whether aggregate weights in the mix designs will be in Saturated
Surface Dry or Oven Dry weights.
(Note: MnDOT installations are always OD - oven dry.)
Bat ching Mode
Target
Design
Target mode batching (default) will adjust the amount of each ingredient on a
scale based on the amount of the ones previously dispensed to come as
close as possible to the target number of yards/cubic meters.
Design mode batching will attempt to batch the design amount of a material
to come as close as possible to the mix design material proportions. Design
mode batching is currently unsupported.
Split Batching Allowed No
Yes Select Yes if trucks may be loaded that exceed the plant capacity. Trucks with
up to five times plant capacity may be loaded.
Split Batch Even No
Yes Select Yes to split the batches equally. Otherwise, all but the final batch will
be at plant capacity.
Continuous Batching
No
Yes
Count
Partial
In an order based system, selecting Yes will cause the multiple loads of a
multi-load order to be run automatically one after the other until the order is
filled.
In a load based system, the same load will be run continuously until the Last
Batch softkey is pressed.
Count will prompt for a number of batches to run continuously.
Partial will prompt for a number of single batch units to run. The number can
include partial amounts and no batch will exceed a single unit. For instance, if
a mix design is specified that generates one yard and the operator keys in
1.6, the CB-2 will generate 1.6 yards of product in two 0.8 yard batches.
Likewise, if a mix design is specified that would generate two yards of material
and the operator enters 2.5 at the prompt, the CB-2 will determine that three
batches are required and generate five yards of product in three 1 2/3 yard
batches.
