Setpoints; Batch And Continuous Setpoints - Rice Lake IQ plus 710 Installation Manual

Setpoints

The IQ Plus 710 indicator provides twenty programmable setpoints for control of both indicator and external
equipment functions. Setpoints are configured to trip based on specified conditions; tripping the setpoint can be
used to request indicator functions (print, tare, accumulate) or to change the state of a digital output controlling
external equipment.
NOTE: Weight-based setpoints are tripped by values specified in primary units only.
Figure 8-1 shows the general structure of the SETPTS menu. See Section 3.2.7 on page 29 for a detailed
description of the SETPTS menu. The eighteen setpoint kinds are described in Table 8-1 on page 56.

Batch and Continuous Setpoints

IQ Plus 710 setpoints can be either continuous or batch setpoints.
Continuous setpoints

the corresponding digital output on.
are active one at a time, in an ordered sequence. The
Batch setpoints
up to twenty separate batch processing steps. A digital output associated with a batch setpoint is on until the
setpoint condition is met, then latched for the remainder of the batch sequence.
To use batch setpoints, you must activate the BATCHNG parameter on the SETPTS menu. This parameter
defines whether a batch sequence is automatic or manual. AUTO sequences repeat continuously, while
MANUAL sequences require a BATSTRT digital input, BATSTART EDP command, or STRTBAT macro
command before restarting. As shown in Table 8-1 on page 56, GROSSSP, NETSP, and RELSP setpoint kinds
can be configured as either batch or continuous setpoints.
The BATCH parameter must also be set on for each batch setpoint. If the setpoint is defined but the BATCH
parameter is off, the setpoint operates as a continuous setpoint, even during batch sequences.
