This line shows the Final Weight per component for this cycle.
DATA LINE 4
:
1st DW 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0
This line is the first Dispense Weight.
DATA LINE 5
:
1st DT 267.0 1783.0 273.0 1284.0
This line is the first Dispense Time (ms). This shows the first dispense in grams for each material.
If the first dispense weight, (data line 4), matches the final dispense, then no "retries" occurred. In other words, the software
accepted the first try. If they do not match, then the first try was short and one or more retries occurred. The second number is
the dispense time that the software calculated to be a correct first try for the dispense.
DATA LINE 6
:
1st FR 450.00 450.00 50.00 50.00
This line is the Final Rate of the first attempt.
DATA LINE 7
:
DW/DT 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00
This line is the Dispense Weight over Dispense Time.
DATA LINE 8
:
FRate 450.00 450.00 50.00 50.00
This line is the Final Rate
DATA LINE 9
:
Retry#
This line is the number of retries to get to the final dispense.
Troubleshooting with the Print Diagnostics
TOTAL BATCH WEIGHT
: (TOP-OF-CYCLE heading:)
Check the TOTAL batch weight, (TOP-OF-CYCLE heading:), to confirm the blender model. 2000 grams indicates 200 series
model. 400, 1000, and 2000 gram totals indicate models that use 3 K load cells, which means output information is in 1/10's of
grams. 4000, 9000, and 18000 gram totals indicate larger blenders that report information in full grams. Since some numbers in
the printout do not include the decimal point, you will want to know if you are reading full grams or tenths of grams.
TARE WEIGHT
: (Cycle Information line:)
In DATA the Cycle Information line, tare weights should be consistently within a few grams of each other from cycle to cycle.
Large variations in the tare weight numbers may indicate excessive vibration, some mechanical interference with the weigh bin, or
a faulty circuit board. Tare weights above or below zero are not a problem as long as they are consistently similar from cycle to
cycle. When problems are present, tare numbers may vary by up to 50 grams. Variations of 2 or 3 grams are not a problem.
RETRIES
: (DATA line 9 and 5, FIRST and FINAL dispense)
When FIRST time dispense, (DATA line 5), does not equal FINAL dispense, one or more retries have occurred. Retries are
evidence of a problem that will also cause percentage errors.
Retries may indicate possible problems; perhaps the hopper ran out of material, or the flow rate is so erratic that the first dispense
was short for no good reason. Parameters _RT and _RP determine what shortage error is necessary to force a retry.
