    After-run correction: The first time the automatic after-run correction function of the Batch Controller RA33 is used, the controller first has to learn what the after-run quantity is. The after-run quantity is the volume of medium that still flows between the time the control output switches to the time no more flow is recorded.
  • Page 27 Batch Controller RA33 Commissioning 6.2.2 Batch controller with flow measurement and 2-stage batching This application describes the standard application of the batch controller. It describes two-stage batching with two valves. This application uses one valve with a higher rate of flow and another valve with a lower rate of flow to dose the medium.

  • Page 28: Batch Controller With Api Temperature Compensation, → Ä

    Commissioning Batch Controller RA33 6.2.3 Batch controller with API temperature compensation This application describes the use of the batch controller with mineral oils and volume correction. The volume can be corrected by simply measuring the temperature, or by measuring the tempera- ture and density.
  • Page 29 Batch Controller RA33 Commissioning Miscellaneous notes: • The pressure is entered relative to the ambient pressure. Since the pressure only has a marginal effect on liquids, for the sake of efficiency it suffices to specify a value instead of measuring the pressure.

  • Page 30: Batch Controller With Mass Calculation, → Ä

    Commissioning Batch Controller RA33 6.2.5 Batch controller with mass calculation In addition to performing volume correction for mineral oils, the mass of any medium can also be calculated. If this function is enabled, then the volume is converted to mass and the counter and preset counter are also available in the selected mass units.

  • Page 31: Manual Batching, → Ä

    Batch Controller RA33 Commissioning 6.2.6 Manual batching In addition to batching based on a value entered for the preset counter beforehand, the device can also be used as a volume counter with manual control. This allows batching to be started and stopped locally on sight, for example, or via the stop signal of an external signal transmitter.

  • Page 36 Commissioning Batch Controller RA33 Fixed and automatic after-run correction It is recommended to use after-run correction due to system response times. The command to close the valves is thus given earlier to compensate for the response time. This enables maximum batching accuracy.
  • Page 37 Batch Controller RA33 Commissioning • USA: imperial units This setting sets the units in the individual submenus to a certain value (default), e.g. SI: m³/h, °C, kWh. If a unit is converted subsequently, no automatic conversion of the associated (scaled) value takes place! For custody transfer devices, the selection of units is limited.
  • Page 38 Commissioning Batch Controller RA33 Protection using code The entire local operation can be protected by a 4-digit code (default is 0000, i.e. no protection). If the device is not operated for 600s, it is locked again automatically. It is still possible to enter a value for the preset counter.
  • Page 39 Batch Controller RA33 Commissioning Transmission of values The actual Modbus TCP protocol is between Layers 5 and 6 in the ISO/OSI Model. To transmit a value, 3 registers of 2 bytes each are used (2 bytes status + 4-byte float). In the setup, you can configure which register is to be written with which value.
