Progressive Metering – Progressive Metering allows for more accurate dispenses of selected
components. However, cycle time will be extended by a few additional seconds.
In normal operation blenders target a dispense of the full requested amount in one try. This
almost always works, and generally will fall within acceptable upper and lower error limits. Making
the dispense in one try allows for high throughput rates while still achieving a level of accuracy
acceptable for most processors. When the accuracy of one particular component is critical, or the
process depends on maintaining a tighter tolerance of this component, customers may lengthen
the blend cycle time slightly to achieve this higher level of accuracy.
The Progressive Metering function is used to turn on this function for a selected component. This
sets parameters which will cause the dispense to occur in several progressively smaller
dispenses. This results in a more accurate dispense.
The first dispense targets only 85 percent (the default percentage) of the full required amount.
After careful weighing, each successive dispense targets 50 percent of the remaining shortage.
This continues until the amount reaches, or is within 1 percent of, the target. In this manner the
software "sneaks up" on the target, providing the maximum achievable accuracy possible.
When Progressive Metering is Enabled, then a component is selected and Enabled, the
corresponding PT and RP parameters are set to PT 00085 and RP 00001.
How to use Progressive Metering:
Press Display will prompt for a password. (default: 22222) Then press:
Press
Blender Configuration
Display will show the Blender Configuration categories.
Press
Operating Options Display will show the Operating Options categories
Press Progressive Metering Display will show the Progressive Metering screen with 12
components labeled 1 – 12. Display will also show an Enabled and
Disabled checkbox per component to enable) or disable
Progressive Metering.
Press To select the component that you want to enable Progressive
metering.
Press
Enabled To enable Progressive Metering on the selected component.
The Display change to the PT parameter for that component
showing the percentage of the first try % adjustable with the
arrow buttons.
Press
To adjust the first Try percentage. You may change the 85 by
entering a different number using the arrow keys. Too low a
setting will just add time. Too high will cause occasional
overshooting.
