SFC SC Functions 4. Functions General The SFC SC is a specialised control unit for quantity-proportional dosing of chemicals used in potable water processing as well as for industrial process water and waste water treatment. Typical applications: • Quantity-proportional dosing of disinfectants (ratio control) •...
SFC SC Functions The systems has outputs for positioners, dosing pumps, pulse Controller outputs pumps, and a continuous mA output. Depending on the configuration, the following safety functions Safety functions are integrated in the control unit: • Safety shutdown if the feed container signal indicates it is empty •...
SFC SC Functions Outputs 4.3.1 mA output The mA output of the SFC SC is electrically isolated and can be parameterized to 0 – 5 mA, 0 – 10 mA, 0 – 20 mA or 4 – 20 mA in the menu.
Page 22
SFC SC Functions 4.3.3 Ratio control The SFC SC only operates as a ratio controller. The dosing capacity of the connected device is controlled automatically, depending on a measuring signal (external flow rate control signal) and a settable dosing factor. When actuators with feedback are used, any non-linearity of the dosing device can be adjusted using a maximum of 11 calibration points.
