Vibratory Scaling NOTE: These parameters are typically set up at factory and should not need adjustment. There is a minimum acceleration required for product in the vibratory tray to begin moving. There is also, a maximum acceleration limit specified by the manufacturer that if exceeded can cause poor short term flow. The scaling of the acceleration of the Vibratory Conveyor allows the limits of the system to be set. Normally, a 0% control out signal in a 4‐20 mA system is 4 mA, while 100% control out is 20 mA. If the minimum acceleration required to move product in the tray is not achieved until 20% control out (7.2 mA), for example, then a control out signal between 0% and 20% will not affect the flow signal. This means that the flow rate will be zero until the control out is greater than 20% which complicates the ability of the controller to maintain the desired flow rate. Although ...

Static Calibration (Static Cal.) Static Calibration sets the Range of the Transducer in the CentriFlow Meter. This allows the meter to be versatile in a way such that it can be ranged up, known as Extended Static Calibra‐ tion, or it can be ranged down, known as Reduced Static Calibration. The Static Calibration is a Factory Setting and should not need to be changed while the meter is in service, unless the Transducer has been replaced. Setting or checking the Static Calibration consists of two steps – Zero and Static Calibration. Note that readings are measured using two different units ‐ %PV and % Volts. The difference between the two scales is the Dynamic CAL multiplier. The nomi‐ nal value is five (5), this value equates to multiplying by one. Before beginning the calibrations, make sure that there is no product on the Pan or around the Pan Arms. The procedure for setting or checking the Static Calibration is as follows: Step 1: Click the CAL Button on the TOP Menu, then click the ZERO Button. Step 2: You should now be on the CAL.ZERO page as seen below. Step 3: Press the Zero Button. Verify that the number displayed in the Diagnostic Window is 0.0 % Process Variable. ...

Site Calibration When the CentriFlow® Meter is sent from the Factory it is set with Default values for the Static Calibration and the Calibration Voltage, which were chosen for the particular material being measured with the meter. As described in the previous Section, the Static Calibration is an adjustment that ranges the Transducer, the Measurement Element of the meter. This Setting will not change unless the Electronic Full Scale is changed. The Calibration Voltage, however, is the adjustment that is made to Calibrate or Site Calibrate the Electronics to a particular application. Although the Factory setting may be quite accurate, it is likely due to differences in installation, feed systems, and material being measured, that an adjustment be made after the CentriFlow® Meter is installed. This procedure is very simple and will require a means of capturing material that is run through the meter and weighing that material. Depending on the Configuration of the CentriFlow® Meter, either Type I or Type II, the method of capturing the material to be weighed will be different. For a Type I Configura‐ tion the material can be captured after it leaves the Pan Section of the meter, if the installation allows, or at some other point in the flow path after it has been measured by the ...

Using the Compact Flash Using the Compact Flash Card A 2 Gigabyte Compact Flash card is pre‐installed inside the Digital Electronics Enclosure and is located inside the enclosure on the reverse side of the HMI touch screen. Run data is stored on the Flash Drive but only when the TOP.RUN page is currently displayed. The internal data logger operates using two separate processes. The first samples each data point at the rate specified by the factory (1/second), and places the logged data into a buffer within the RAM of the panel. The second process executes every minute, and writes the data from RAM to the Compact Flash card. Note that because data is not committed to the Compact Flash for a min‐ ute, this amount of log data may be lost when the terminal is powered‐down. Further, if the terminal is powered‐down while a write is in progress, the Compact Flash card may be cor‐ rupted. Data is being written to the Compact Flash card when the middle yellow LED light on ...
