DIAGNOSING PROBLEMS

DIAGNOSTIC MENUS

The Diagnostic Menu for the MC³ Controller is provided to allow access to additional displays and
values. It is not necessary to access this menu under normal operating conditions. It is provided as
a troubleshooting tool and should be accessed only by knowledgeable personnel. The Diagnostic
Menu has its own password.

Access to the Register editor is only allowed if the logic input “Register Access” is ON. See List of
Logical Inputs on page  37. If the logical input is OFF, the button for the Register Editor will not
appear on the diagnostic screen.

CAUTION:

  The values in this menu are very sensitive. Changing any of these values could adversely affect the

operation of the Feeder Controller.

PCAD Diagnostics

Ld

This value is the belt load in engineering units.

Out %

This value is the Feeder Control output with a range of 0 to 100%

PCAD1 and PCAD2

A/D Counts are a digital representation of the analog load cell signal.  These are the raw A/D
counts developed from the Load Cell signal without any numeric adjustment or filtering.

LL

The Live Load mV/V is the relative output signal of the load cell, representing the live load of the
weight as a Load Cell output signal.

Abs

The Absolute Load mV/V is the relative output signal of the load cell all load including support
structure, zero load and material.
