The F030 Batch Controller will operate from an external power source between 8 and 30 Volts DC. All configuration data and totals are stored safely in EEPROM even during prolonged periods without power (up to ten years). A seven year Lithium battery option provides backup if the power is interrupted so that totals may still be seen. Solenoids or sensors, however, still require external power. A transistorised output provides control to a solenoid or relay and can sink up to 100mA.

The model is designed for flow applications where the precise control of batch quantities is required. A high visibility Liquid Crystal Display provides the operator with on-screen engineering units and clear command prompts. Designed to accept signals from a wide variety of flowmeter types including: Turbines, Positive Displacement, Paddle Wheel, Magnetic, Coriolis and others.

Flowmeter - pulse input(order P-version) coil/sine wave (sensitivity selectable), NPN/PNP or NAMUR. Input frequency: minimum 0 Hz. - maximum 10 kHz. Flowmeter supply voltage: 3.2 VDC. Remark: for NAMUR and some other 'powered' signal pick-ups, external power to the flowmeter is usually required
Flowmeter - analog input(order A-version) 2-wire (0)4-20mA input 14 bit resolution - external power to flowmeter is required (Unless PL options specified -Input loop powered) - % low-level cut-off programmable - linear interpolation, square root calculation – digital filter - Accuracy 0.05% of span @ 20 degrees Celsius. Sample time 4 times a second. Over-load max. 70mA. Voltage drop 2.5Vdc.
Relay / Pulse outputsOne transistor output for single stage control as a switching relay or as a pulse output in relation to batch total -maximum frequency 20Hz. Pulse-width 25 or 100 msec. (note: IS area applications: Max 30VDC 100mA voltage switched must be supplied via a safety barrier or from another IS approved source- Call for recommendations)
Overrun correctionAutomatic overrun correction selectable ON/OFF
Maximum batch quantityA maximum allowed batch quantity can be entered to prevent spillages
Selection display infoTo count up or count down during batching
BatteryLithium; life time dependent upon settings. Average lifetime about seven years.
