WEIGHT:
The current weight reading of material in the hopper, 1/10
th
of grams.
DISPENSED
:
The actual grams of material dispensed in the previous cycle while in cycle
mode, or in the past one minute while in continuous or extrusion following
modes.
TARGET:
The targeted grams of material that should be dispensed in one cycle while in
cycle mode, or in one minute while in continuous or extrusion following modes.
ERROR:
Accumulated Error difference between target and dispensed (-0.1 in example),
Loss-in-weight Trip Point (5 in example) see ATP parameter on page 27.
CYCLE CT:
Number of cycles since last rate adjustment or refill.
RATE ADJ:
The amount of rate adjustment that has occurred to maintain correct output.
Initial speed is based on a specified motor factor and grams per second,
determined by the auger size. Bulk density errors, as well as auger drift, and
pellet configuration can result in metering rate errors. This number shows how
much adjustment has occurred based on weigh feed back. Reset this number to
1.0000 when new material is used (unless it is of the same consistency as the
original material). See RATE ADJ RESET on page 33.
TOTAL:
Total amount metered since turnover or reset of totals. Totals can be reset.
VIEW / RESET TOTALS on page 34.
OFF TIME:
The number of milliseconds of off-time per second, of the stepper motor, to
meter the correct rate.
