Gravimetric Blender
2.4 Production-modes
The production-mode of the blender indicates how the production will stop in automatic-
mode. This parameter can be changed using the menu (F1) ‘controller / public parameters’.
The production-mode has three options:
Continue
The blender will not stop automatically after the start-command. The blender will continue
the production, unless the blender runs out of material or an error occurs.
Weight->Alarm
If
‘Weight->Alarm’ has been chosen, a requested weight has to be given. After a start the
requested weight will be compared with ‘produced-weight’. If both are the same or the
‘produced-weight’ higher, the controller will send an alarm to the operator-interface. The
production will continue.
The alarm can be recovered setting the ‘production-weight’ to zero (0). This command is part
of the option-menu (F2) of the status screen.
Weight->Error
When using the option ‘Weight->Error’ a weight has to be given. After a start the requested
weight will be compared with ‘production-weight’. If both are the same or the
‘production-weight’ higher, the controller will send an error to the operator-interface. The
production will not continue in this case.
2.5 Mixer-mode
When all components are dispensed, the contents of the weighbin will be emptied. The
mixer in the mixing chamber, which contains the dispensed components, can be put in
different modes. Choose the menu (F1) ‘controller/public parameters’.
Normal
The mixer is off during production. If the components are dumped from the weighbin into the
mixer chamber the mixer will be on for a predefi ned number of seconds, defi ned by
‘mixerOnTime’. This parameter can only be changed if this option is chosen.
Pulsing
The mixer will pulse during production. Both on- and off-time ca be defi ned using the
parameters mixerPulseOnTime (time on) and mixerPulseOffTime (time off). These
parameters can only be changed if this option is chosen.
Off
The mixer is always off.
On
The mixer is always on, when the machine status is active.
