1.
Enter the following parameters:
a.
Units
b.
Design Weight
c.
Design Feedrate (Set the Design feedrate to a value higher then the
system should be able to obtain.)
d.
Calibration Weight
e.
Configure Analog I/O
f.
Map Digital I/O
2
Perform the following steps to calibrate the scale:
a
Run a Zero procedure. See Zeroing Procedure on page 47.
b
Run Weight or Electrical Calibration procedure. See Weight Procedure
(page 49), or Electronic Calibration (page 50) for the method for
performing the calibration procedures.
c.
Repeat the Zero Procedure
3.
Run the feeder, using Manual Speed Setpoint Method at 100 % output with
material. Observe the feedrate in the Batch Statistics screen. When the feedrate
is stable, record the value. Enter this value into the design feedrate parameter.
You may round this value down appropriately. This value should be close to what
the system can obtain at 100% output.
4.
Perform the Quick Setup (page 28) function. This will set reasonable values for
parameters in the controller.
5.
Verify all parameters for correct values.
6.
Run test batches and adjust the stability parameters so that the weight is stable
when idling and not stable while fast feeding.
MAIN SCREENS
There are two main screens:
Main Screen
Default view of all essential operational parameters.
Batch Statistics
Batch specific live values and statistical data.
Main Screen
The first you will see after start-up countdown is the Main Screen. It is designed to
provide all essential information at a glance. It also allows you to enter the sub menus for
setting the controller parameters, calibration and other functions.
Feeder Screen
