While batching, if the time is exceeded, the logical output

Stable Timeout

will go on, and

the less accurate Immediate Weight will be used to determine the batch total. The

Stable

Timeout

output should be configured to qualify a warning.

Stable Span

This is how much the weight indication may change over the set

Stable Samples

, for the

weight to be considered stable. Default is 0.2 % of the design weight. If possible, reduce
this value to get better calibration and batch total accuracy.

Stable Samples

This is the number of consecutive weigh samples for which the weight must stay within
the

Stable Span

, for the weight to be considered stable. Default is 3. For better calibration

and batch accuracy, increase this value, but be aware that the batching will be slower.

Calibrate Settings

The following parameters are used for calibration. They are used or affected by
calibration procedures. See Calibrating Your Controller on page 46.

Cal Weight

The weight you will be using when running a Weight Procedure (page 49). Default is
Design Weight. Limits are 10 to 110% of Design weight.

E-Cal Liveload

This parameter is used for the Electronic Calibration procedure (page 50). If you are
going to use Electronic calibration, you must calculate this parameter. You can not use
the default value (1.5 mV/V). Limits are 0.2 to 3 mV/V. Performing an E-Cal Factor
Procedure (page 52) will adjust this value.

Zero Weight

This parameter represents all of the dead weight on the load cells. This may include the
hopper, feeding device, motor, etc. This

does not

include the weight of the material.

Default is 0. Normally adjusted by performing a Zeroing Procedure, page 47.

Scale Factor

The Scale factor is used to calculate the weight from the counts coming out of the load
cell A/D (HPAD) converter. It is normally adjusted using the Material Calibration (page
48), Weight Procedure (page 49) or Elec tronic Calibration (page 50) procedures.

You can calculate the Immediate Weight from the HPAD counts by using the following
formula:

Quick Setup

This button will setup nominal values, based on Design Weight and Feedrate. Pushing
this button is a drastic action. It should only be done when initially setting up the
controller, or when you are changing fundamental design parameters. After running the
Quick Setup function, you should verify the parameters in the setup menus. The following
parameters are affected:

Name Setting

Weight Decimal Point

Set for three significant digit weight representation 23

Total Decimal Point

2 if the total unit is TN or t, else 0.

Batch Decimal Point

Set for three significant digit batch total
