EU DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY (DOC) Pavone Sistemi S.r.l. Via Tiberio Bianchi, 11/13/15 20863 Concorezzo, MB declare that the DoC issued under our sole responsibility and belongs to the following product: Apparatus model/Product: MC755 Type: Weighing instrument The object of the declaration described above used as indicated in the installation manual and use, is in conformity with the relevant Union harmonisation legislation: Directive EMC 2014/30/EU Electromagnetic Compatibility The following harmonized standards and technical specification have been applied:...
1 - INTRODUCTION The MC755 can operate as follows according to its setup: FLOW RATE TRANSMITTER Thanks to the weight decrease (load cells), when the instrument receives the run input, it calculates an instantaneous flow rate which is then transmitted externally through a configurable analog output (0-10 V, 0-5 V, 0-20 mA, 4-20 mA).
Page 8
During the metering process, the instrument measures the instantaneous flow rate every second, by calcu- lating the decrease of weight according to that unit of time. Based on this value, it calculates the flow rate per hour, that is how much the system would meter per hour if the extractor would operate at the same speed and the decrease of weight would be constant.
1.1 - OTHER FUNCTION OF MC755 MASTER-SLAVE OPERATION The instrument may operate as slave, in this case Set Point may vary through an analogue (0-10V / 4-20mA / 0-20mA) or digital (RS485) input. Flow rate Set Point will adjourn proportionally to the current input. Input full scale (100%) corresponds to the active Set Point value on the instrument.

Run static input. Close this contact to enable instrument begin and maintain programmed operations (weighing, flow regulation, alarms etc.). Input must be kept closed during dosing; open the contact to stop operations. Manual selection (open) / automatic (closed). The selection through the touch screen has the priority over the selec- tion of this input.
2.8 - INSTRUMENT POWER SUPPLY (CONTACTS 23-24, LOWER TERMINAL BLOCK) The instrument is powered through terminals 23 and 24. The power cable must be routed separately from other cables with different voltages, load cell cables, encoder cables, and logical/analog input/output cables. Lower terminal block NUM.
2.11 - RS232 SERIAL PORT (CONTACTS 27÷29, SIDE TERMINAL BLOCK) To establish the serial connection, use a shielded cable, ensuring that the shield is grounded on one end only. If the cable has more conductors than needed, connect the unused conductors to the shield.
2.15 - ANALOGUE OUTPUTS (CONTACTS 1÷4 UPPER TERMINAL BLOCK) (2ND OUTPUT OPTIONAL) The instrument, when in this hardware configuration, provides two opto-isolated analog outputs in current and voltage. NOTE: The standard configuration is made in the laboratory. Characteristics: • For analog voltage output jumpers JP2 (Ana1) and JP7 (Ana2) to the RIGHT: range from 0 to 10 Volts or from 0 to 5 Volts.
2.16 - OPTIONAL ANALOGUE INPUT (CONTACTS 34-35 LOWER TERMINAL BLOCK) Optionally, it is possible to have an analog input with a measuring range of 0-5V, 0-10V, 0-20mA, 4-20 mA. The measuring range must be chosen when ordering and cannot be selected on the instrument. The ADC resolution is 24 bit.

- The RJ45 ethernet connection cable has a variable maximum length, depending on the type of cable. A common shielded Cat5 cable can have a maximum length of approximately 180 m. - It is possible to connect the Ethernet communication port directly to the PC, without going through other network devices (router, switch, hub, lan-bridge or other), but special RJ45 cables, called “crossover”, must be used.

FIELDBUS INTERFACE MANAGEMENT Communication between the instrument and the fieldbus interface occurs via Modbus RTU serial protocol. The communication baud rate is fixed (115200 bits/sec). The timeout on the module response is controlled (300 ms).
