Batch Controller Operation
Refer to page
for details to setup the batch
controller features.
The PD4-6624 has two open collector outputs that
can used for alarm indication. A 4-20 mA output
option is also available for retransmitting the process
variable.
Default Batch Control Operation
The following describes the operation of the three
operating keys (located behind the lower panel door
of the PD4-6624) as programmed with default
settings. A more convenient way to achieve batch
control operation with the PD4 is to use a control
station such as the
See examples
START Button
Press the START button to begin a new batch
process. Press the START button to resume a batch
that has been stopped.
BATCH Button
Press the Batch button to access the Preset (batch
amount) menu. Program the batch with the arrow
keys, and confirm with the Enter key.
STOP Button
Press the STOP key once during a batch to pause.
Press the STOP key while paused to stop and cancel
the batch.

Only the STOP Key is Enabled if a Batch is
Running.
During a batch process, only the
pause/stop functions are operational, other
buttons are deactivated.
Batch Control Operation
Example
The following example shows how two stage batch
control functions with a Loop . This setup will
establish a 55-gallon preset for the batch, with a main
valve (high flow) that will close at 50 gallons, and a
trickle valve (low or restricted flow) that will close at
55 gallons. Because the first batch overruns by 0.10,
the batch preset will be changed to 54.90 for the next
batch to compensate for overrun.
