If you manually set this number to a very high value, you will effectively eliminate all error
correction attempts for the component. Gradually, over several months, the software will
adjust this number back down. If you wish to defeat a component's error correction
routines permanently, you may set NC to (_NC 29999). The software recognizes this
number as special and will not change it. This high setting eliminates error correction
attempts for this component. The component is still weighed, and retries still occur if short,
but the timing of each dispense is based only on previously learned rates and never
adjusted from new experience. A very small dispense in a high vibration environment may
actually be more consistently accurate if no adjusting occurs.
Regrind Control
ROC Allows for adding some ADDITIVE to one of the REGRIND portions
ROC indicates the PERCENT of one REGRIND that will be treated as natural when
ADDITIVE dispenses are calculated. If you feel it is necessary to ADD (or subtract) color
or additive to your regrind, this parameter will automatically see that this is accomplished.
The first digit is 0 to add, 1 to subtract.
The second digit is the REGRIND component number you will be making this adjustment
for.
The last 3 digits indicate the percent of this Regrind component to add
to, or subtract from, the Naturals when computing Additive dispenses.
EXAMPLE: ROC set to (ROC 01020).
The first 0 means add. The 1 is component 1.
The 20 means take 20 % of component 1 (a Regrind) and ADJUST the total of all
NATURAL dispenses upward by this amount. Whatever amount of component 1, Regrind,
is added, 20 percent of this amount will be added to the Natural amounts before a color
calculation is made.
Regrind dispense = 600 grams, Natural portions = 1400 grams.
At 4 percent, if ROC=00000, Color would be 56 grams.
If ROC=01020; increase Natural by 20 % of 600, (120 grams).
Color is now 4 % of 1520 grams (1400+120), or 61 grams.
In some cases, the addition of pre-colored regrind tends to produce overall better coloring
because of an initial more uniform dispersion of pigment. In this case you may want to add
LESS color to the Natural portions when Regrind is present. Placing a 1 in the first digit of
the ROC parameter (ROC 10000), will cause a portion of this Regrind component to be
SUBTRACTED from the Natural portions, instead of added.
EXAMPLE: ROC set to (ROC 11020).
The first 1 means subtract. The second 1 selects component 1.
This means take 20 % of component 1, a Regrind, and reduce the NATURAL portions by
this amount. Whatever amount of component 1 is added, 20 percent of this amount will be
subtracted from the Natural amounts before a color calculation is made.
Component 1 dispense = 600 grams, Natural portions = 1400 grams.
At 4 percent, if ROC=00000, Color would be 56 grams.
If ROC=11020; reduce Naturals by 20 % of 600, (120 grams).
