DOSAGE
42
display shows the
REMOTE DOSAGE
message and the weight window shows the progress bar in
percentage for the remote dosage.
-
The operator can remotely control the instrument for executing the dosage; all the dosage
requirements should be in accordance with the selected formula in the REMOTE FORMULA INDEX.
-
After the remote dosage is terminated, a wait time starts equal to the DATA READING TIME
(
)
in order to allow the reading of the activity data; the instrument waits for this time before passing to
the following phase.
6.9
“Synchronization” type of an activities
a) Description
This activity is useful when the PARALLEL mode (see the previous section) is enabled in the remote dosage
and the user just wants to execute the following phase after all the remote dosage or a remote dosage is
terminated (set 485 address at 255 for all the remote dosage, or a specific 485 address for a remote
dosage).
NOTE:
generally, the activity is used together with remote dosage activity.
-
This activity automatically starts and follows the remote dosage activity.
-
During the ”SYNCHRONIZATION” activity, the display shows the
REMOTES WORK ON
SYNCHRONIZATION
message.
-
To end the activity:
If the 485 address is set at 255, when all the remote dosages are terminated.
If the 485 address is set at a specific address for a remote dosage, when that dosage is
terminated.
-
A wait time starts equal to the DATA READING TIME
(
) in order to allow the reading of the
activity data; the instrument waits for this time before passing to the following phase.
6.10
Filering time
To avoid that eventual weight peaks end the dosage activities before the real weight threshold is reached,
it is possible to set a minimum time (FILTERING TIME parameter
) in which the weight must remain
over the disabling threshold (TARGET-FLY WEIGHT or TOTAL UNLOADING END) in order to end the dosage.
If the weight returns under the disabling threshold within this time, the dosage continues as before the
weight peak.
6.11
Maximum dosage timer
If the MAXIMUM DOSAGE TIME has been enabled, it is possible to check the dosage execution time.
If, during this time period, the dosage is not yet done, the instrument shows on the display the “ERROR:
TIMER OUT” message and the output error is enabled.
The instrument enters in the dosage PAUSE status.
This function, for example, can be used to signal the end of the material in the stockpile silo (in other words,
in the silo from which the material to execute the dosage is taken from); in fact, if the material in the silo
