2.11.1 Load batch cycle
The Batch cycle control performed by the instrument is structured into operating steps which are
described in the following table.
PHASE FUNCTION
0
Batch is not activated and the instrument is waiting for the START command.
The instrument continuosly verifies if the value of gross load on balance is in the ZERO
band and eventually resets the “end of cycle” relay.
START is accepted only if all the following conditions have been verified:
⇒
the instrument is in operating mode (not in configuration, calibration test or clock set)
and in “idle “ condition (no batch cycle in progress)
⇒
at least 1 component has a set value reather than zero (if not the alarm relay is
activated and a blinking message “
NO SET ” is displayed)
⇒
The sum of set values and the actual gross value il lower then the “Maximum Load”
value (if not the alarm relay is activated and a blinking message “
OVERLOAD ” is
displayed)
If all the conditions are satisfied the instrument goes to phase 1.
1 The instrument verifies if the balance is in the ZERO band (the ZERO band is also valid
for negative weights).
If the weight is out of the Zero band
⇒
a blinking message “ EMPTY ? ” is displayed
⇒
the Alarm relay is energized
The instrument than waits for ACKor ABORT comamnd.
If the gross weight is within the zero band or the off band was accepted (with the ACK
command), the Alarm output is de-activated and the instrument goes to phase 2.
2 This is the Batch cycle start phase.
⇒
The step counter is cleared
⇒
The “Batch in Progress” output is set
⇒
The “End Batch” output is reset (if present)
⇒
The “Alarm” output is reset (if present)
⇒
The heading of the Batch report is printed
⇒
The instrument is placed in “Net” and the Tare is performed
⇒
The message “ C 1234 ” is displayed, where 1234 is the set value
The instrument goes to phase 3.
3 This is the “Fast” Batch phase.
⇒
The “fast” output is energized.
Upon reaching a net weight value equal to the
[set minus slowdown minus fly]
