TURNING ON OUTPUTS - MATERIAL TYPES
This controller can control up to TWELVE (12) components; 1 through 9
and A, B, and C.
You must "TURN ON" the COMPONENT outputs that you are going to use.
Components that are TURNED OFF are not part of ANY routines.
A component becomes TURNED ON when it is set to a MATERIAL TYPE.
Material TYPES are REGRIND, NATURAL, and ADDITIVE.
The AUTOWEIGH BLENDER handles each TYPE DIFFERENTLY. Settings have
different meanings for each TYPE.
To enter SETTINGS correctly, you MUST UNDERSTAND how different
materials are handled based on their TYPE.
So PLEASE read this page CAREFULLY.
Material TYPES are explained here.
How to set them is explained on the next page.
REGRIND (PERCENT OF MIX)
Components designated REGRIND will be added as a PERCENT of the ENTIRE
MIX of material. For example, If component 1 is designated as REGRIND
and is set for 20.0 percent, then for every 100 pounds of blend, 20
pounds will be this component.
NATURAL (RATIO TO EACH OTHER)
Components designated NATURAL will be added in the proportion that you
specify them to each other. Their actual percentage of the mix will
depend on how much Regrind is specified and how much Additive is
specified. For example, if components 2 and 3 are both designated
NATURAL and are set for 10 and 40 respectively, then the RATIO of
component 2 to component 3 will always be 10 to 40 or 1 to 4.
If no Regrind or Additives are specified, the mix will be:
component 2, NATURAL, SET= 10, 20.0 percent of mix,
component 3, NATURAL, SET= 40, 80.0 percent of mix.
The RATIO of 1 to 4 is maintained.
If component 1 is specified as REGRIND at 20 percent, The mix is then
component 1, REGRIND, SET=20.0, 20 percent of mix,
component 2, NATURAL, SET= 10, 16.0 percent of mix,
component 3, NATURAL, SET= 40, 64.0 percent of mix.
Components 2 and 3 are still held at a 1 to 4 ratio.
