1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION OF THE F130-P

Functions and features

The batch controller model F130-P is a microprocessor driven instrument designed for batching and

filling of small up to large quantities as well as displaying the flow rate, the total and the accumulated

total. This product has been designed with a focus on:

ultra-low power consumption to allow long-life battery powered applications (type PB/PC);

intrinsic safety for use in hazardous applications (type XI);

several mounting possibilities with aluminum or GRP enclosures for harsh industrial

surroundings;

ability to process all types of flowmeter signals;

receipt printer interface to print completed batch receipts.

Flowmeter input

This manual describes the unit with a pulse input from the flowmeter. Other versions are available to

process (0)4-20mA signals.

One flowmeter with a passive or active pulse, Namur or sine wave (coil) signal output can be

connected to the F130-P. To power the sensor, several options are available.

Fig. 1: Typical application

Configuration of the F130-P

The F130-P is designed for use in many types of applications. For that reason, a setup menu is

available to program the F130-P according to your specific requirements.

The setup includes several important features, such as K-Factors, engineering units, signal

selection, power management (to extend battery life-time), etc. All settings are stored in a non-

volatile memory and therefore kept in the event of a power failure or an exhausted battery.

Display information

The unit has a LCD with (optional) backlight to show the process information, status and alarm messages.

The display refresh rate is programmed in the setup menu.

At a key press, the display refresh rate will switch to FAST for 30 seconds. When 'OFF' is selected,

the display goes off after 30 seconds after the last key press. The display temporarily comes on after

a key press.

A backup of the total and accumulated total in EEPROM memory is made every minute.

Options

The following options are available: full Modbus communication RS232/485/TTL (also battery

powered), intrinsic safety, mechanical relay or active output, power- and sensor-supply options,

panel-mount, wall-mount and weather-proof enclosures, flame proof enclosure and LED backlight.

2 OPERATIONAL

This device may only be operated by persons who are authorized and trained by the

operator of the facility. All instructions in this manual are to be observed.

Take careful notice of the "Safety rules, instructions and precautionary measures" in the

front of this manual.

This chapter describes the daily use of the F130-P . This instruction is meant for users / operators.

2.1 CONTROL PANEL

The control panel has three keys. The available keys are:

Fig. 2: Control Panel

Functions of the keys

This key is used to program and save new values or settings.

The PROG/ENTER key is also used to gain access to the setup menu (read

chapter 3).

This key is used to START the batch process.

The START/key is also used to increase a value after the PROG/ENTER key has

been pressed (read chapter 3).

This key is used to pause or stop the batch process. When the batch process is

stopped, it cannot be continued. The STOP/key is also used to select the total and

the accumulated total.

The STOP/key is also used to select a digit or an option after the PROG/ENTER

key has been pressed (read chapter 3).

2.2 OPERATOR INFORMATION AND FUNCTIONS

In general, the F130-P operates in the operator

mode. The shown information depends on the

settings which are made in the setup menu.

The signal from the connected sensor is processed

by the F130-P in the background, independent from

the selected display refresh rate.

Fig. 3: Process information (typical)

To enter a batch quantity (change the preset)

You can only change the preset when the READY

indicator is on.

1. Press the PROG/ENTER key until the

PROGRAM indictor starts to blink.

2. Use the START/and STOP/key to change

the value.

3. Momentarily, press the PROG/ENTER key to

confirm the new preset.

Fig. 4: Program preset value (typical)

When data is altered but ENTER has not been pressed yet, then the alteration can still be cancelled

by waiting for 20 seconds or by pressing ENTER during three seconds: the former value will be

reinstated. The PRESET-value can be used time after time till a new value is programmed.

Changes are only saved when you press the PROG/ENTER key.

Page 8

FW_F130P_v1702_02_EN

Leading zero

The amount of leading zeros is dependent on the batch maximum setting. In this menu the

leading zeros will show. When you confirm the selection with the PROG/ENTER key, the

F130-P will hide the leading zeros in the operational preset menu.

It is not possible to enter a preset value which exceeds the batch maximum setting. E.g. if the

batch maximum is set to 20000, it will not be possible to set 21000. If you want to preset

21000, you must change the batch maximum setting.

Fig. 5: Leading zero (typical)

Batch maximum/minimum

When you program a new value which is not valid, the decrease-sign ▼ (batch too big, program

a smaller batch) or the increase-sign ▲ (batch to small, program a bigger batch) will show.

To start the batch process

The batch process can only be started when "READY" is shown. The batch process is started

by pressing the START/key. Depending on the SETUP-settings, one or two relays will be

switched. The arrows at the display indicate if the ACTUAL-value is counting up or down.

To interrupt or to stop the batch process

When the STOP/key is pressed once, the batch

process is paused; the actual values are not lost. At the

display, the word "PAUSE" blinks. In this case the, the

batch process can be resumed with the START/key.

When the STOP/key is pressed two times, the batch

process is stopped completely. In this case the actual

values are "lost" and the system returns to steady state:

the batch process cannot be resumed.

Fig. 6: Process paused (typical)

Clear batch total

The value for total can be reset. To do so, select Total and press PROG followed by STOP -

STOP. After pressing the STOP/key once, the flashing text "PUSH STOP" is shown. To

avoid a reset at this stage, press another key than the STOP/key or wait for 20 seconds.

The reset of total DOES NOT influence the accumulated total.

Display accumulated total

When the STOP/key is pressed, total and accumulated total are shown. The accumulated

total cannot be reset. The value will count up to 99,999,999,999. The unit and number of

decimals are shown according to the configuration settings for total.

Low-battery alarm

Only use original batteries. Original batteries can be ordered at the manufacturer.

The use of unapproved batteries will void the warranty.



At the end of the battery’s life-time, the voltage

starts to drop. When the voltage becomes too

low, the battery indicator comes on. When the

battery indicator is on, install a new and fresh

battery as soon as possible.

Fig. 7: Example of low-battery alarm

No-flow alarm

The F130-P offers a no-flow monitoring feature: When the flowmeter does not generate a signal

during a certain (preset) time period, the F130-P will shut-off the control output(s) and bring the

batch controller in alarm status. The “PAUSE” and “ALARM” indicators come on and NO FLOW is

shown. Press the STOP/key to confirm the alarm status and note that the “PAUSE” indicator

stays on. Now you can cancel or continue the batch (after you have solved the possible problem).

Alarm

When the alarm indicator is shown, refer to Appendix B: Problem Solving.

3.1.2 EXPLANATION OF SETUP-MENU 1 - PRESET

PRESET

UNIT

This setting is used to select the engineering unit for the indication of the

batch total, the accumulated total and the pulse output.

When you change the engineering unit, you must recalculate and

reprogram the K-factor for the (accumulated) total. When you

recalculate and reprogram the K-Factor, the history for

(accumulated) batch total is not correct anymore, because the

(accumulated) batch total is not recalculated. For future

reference, best practice is to make a note of the accumulated

total before you program the recalculated K-Factor.

DECIMALS

This setting is used to set the amount of digits behind the decimal point for

the (accumulated) total indication.

K-FACTOR

This setting is used to set the K-Factor for the total. With the K-Factor, the

flowmeter pulse signals are converted to a quantity. The K-Factor is based on

the number of pulses generated by the flowmeter per selected engineering

unit, for example per m3. A more accurate K-Factor (more decimals, as set in

decimals K-Factor) allows for a more accurate operation of the system.

Example 1: Calculating the K-Factor.

The flowmeter generates 2.4813 pulses per liter and the selected unit is m3. A

cubic meter consists of 1000 liter which gives 2.4813 pulses*1000

liter=2481.3 pulses per m3. So, the K-Factor is 2481.3. Enter for the

Flowmeter K-Factor: 24813 and for the flowmeter K-Factor decimals: 1.

Example 2: Calculating the K-Factor.

The flowmeter generates 6.5231 pulses per gallon and the selected

engineering unit is gallons. So, the K-Factor is 6.5231. Enter for the

Flowmeter K-Factor: 65231 and for the Flowmeter K-Factor decimals: 4.

When you recalculate and reprogram a new K-Factor, the history

for (accumulated) batch total is not correct anymore, because

the (accumulated) batch total is not recalculated. For future

reference, best practice is to make a note of the accumulated

total before you program the recalculated K-Factor.

DECIMALS K-FACTOR

This setting is used to set the amount of digits behind the decimal point for

the K-Factor.

BATCH MINIMUM

This setting is used to set the lower limit for a batch volume. An

operator cannot set a batch volume which is beyond the lower limit.

BATCH MAXIMUM

This setting is used to set the upper limit for a batch volume. An

operator cannot set a batch volume which is beyond the upper limit.

Page 13

FW_F130P_v1702_02_EN

3.1.3 EXPLANATION OF SETUP-MENU 2 - OVERRUN

Due to system parameters which are beyond the settings of the batch controller, an overrun can

occur at the end of a batch. The batch controller analyzes the overrun volume and automatically

corrects the volume each time after each batch (self learning).

OVERRUN

For an accurate overrun correction, it is necessary that the flowmeter

meets certain technical demands, such as "high resolution" and shows

no "false" overrun due to a slow update time. Do not enable this

function if the flow meter is not compatible to this function.

TIME

The overrun characteristic of the system will be analyzed during a certain

time after the batch relay has been de-energized. In this way, false signal

generated through leakage are eliminated. Enter here the expected time

needed by the system to stop a batch. It is advisable to provide extra time

in order to avoid an incorrect overrun correction or false leakage alarms.

The next batch can only be started after the overrun time is completed!

3.1.4 EXPLANATION OF SETUP-MENU 3 - ALARM

The F130-P offers a no-flow monitoring feature: When the flowmeter does not generate a signal

during a certain (preset) time period, the F130-P will shut-off the control output(s) and bring the

batch controller in alarm status.

ALARM

NO-FLOW

This setting is used to program the behavior of the no-flow alarm. When

the flow rate is zero, it is possible to ignore or disable the no-flow

monitoring.

TIME

This setting is used to set a delay time for the related alarm. When the

alarm condition is still valid after the delay time, an alarm is given.

3.1.5 EXPLANATION OF SETUP-MENU 4 - DISPLAY

DISPLAY

This setting is used to set the behavior of the counter during a batch

process: count down (quantity to do) or count up (quantity done).

LIGHT

The backlight brightness can be adjusted from 0% (off) to 100% (full

brightness) in steps of 20%.

3.1.6 EXPLANATION OF SETUP-MENU 5 - POWER MANAGEMENT

When used with the internal battery option (type PB/PC), the user can expect reliable measurement

over a long period of time. The F130-P has several smart power management functions to extend

the battery life time significantly. Two of these functions can be set.

POWER MANAGEMENT

LCD NEW

The calculation of the display-information influences the power

consumption significantly. When the application does not require a fast

display refresh rate, it is strongly advised to select a slow refresh rate.

Please understand that NO information will be lost; every pulse will be

counted and the output signals will be generated in the normal way.

At a key press, the display refresh rate will switch to FAST for 30

seconds. When 'OFF' is selected, the display goes off after 30 seconds

after the last key press. The display temporarily comes on after a key

press.

Example battery life-time with a coil pick-up:

1kHz pulse and FAST update: about 2 years;

1kHz pulse and 1 sec update: about 5 years.

BATTERY MODE

The F130-P has two modes: operational or shelf.

After "shelf" has been selected, the F130-P can be stored for several years; it

will not process the sensor signal; the display is switched off but all settings and

totals are stored. In this mode, power consumption is extremely low.

To wake up the F130-P again, press the START/key two times.

3.1.8 EXPLANATION OF SETUP-MENU 7 - RELAY OUTPUT

Two control outputs are available to control relays or valves. Relay 2 can also be used as pulse

output according the batch total (actual) or accumulated total.

RELAYS

This submenu is used to set the function of related output.

1-Step: The F130-P is used for one-stage batch control while R2 is

used as a scaled pulse output.

2-Step: The F130-P is used for two-stage batch control.

PRECLOSE

According to the setting 71 - 2-step, relay two will be used to control a

second valve for the batch process. If the product is batched in two

steps, the switch-off-moment for relay 2 has to be set. The switch

moment is based on the remaining quantity before the end of batch.

If preclose is set to zero, relay 2 will switch simultaneously with relay 1.

The settings: width, decimals, amount and pulse are only valid when

relay 2 is used as a scaled pulse output. A scaled pulse output is used

to indicate that the batch or accumulated total has increased with the

value as set in the setup 75.

Page 15

FW_F130P_v1702_02_EN

WIDTH

When relay 2 is used as a scaled pulse output:

The pulse width determines the time that the output will be active; in

other words the pulse duration. Value “zero” will disable the pulse

output.

The pulse signal always has a 50% duty cycle, hence the minimum

time between the pulses is equal to the pulse width setting. If the

frequency should go out of range –when the flow rate increases for

example –an internal buffer will be used to “store the missed pulses”:

As soon as the flow rate slows down, the buffer will be “emptied”.

It might be that pulses will be missed due to a buffer-overflow, so it is

advised to program this setting within its range!

DECIMALS

This setting is used to set the amount of digits behind the decimal point for the

amount.

AMOUNT

A pulse will be generated every time a certain quantity is added to the

preset. Enter this quantity here while taking the decimals for pulse into

account.

PULSE

The pulse generation is controlled by the batch total or the accumulated

total.

When set to “batch”, the buffer (setting: Width) will be emptied when a

new batch is started.
