7.4.2Filling control options

The filling control options are used to define the fill process. Filling control options are listed and defined in Table 7-3.

Table 7-3Filling control options

Control option

Default

Description

 

 

 

Enable Filling

Enabled

If enabled, the filling application is available for use.

Option

 

If disabled, the filling application is not available for use. However, it is still

 

 

installed on the transmitter.

 

 

 

Count Up

Enabled

Controls how the fill total is calculated and displayed:

 

 

• If enabled, fill totals increase from zero to the target value.

 

 

• If disabled, fill totals decrease from the target value to zero.

 

 

Does not affect fill configuration.

 

 

 

Enable AOC

Enabled

Automatic Overshoot Compensation (AOC) instructs the fill controller to

 

 

compensate for the time required to close the valve, using the calculated AOC

 

 

coefficient. See Section 7.5 for overshoot compensation options.

 

 

 

Enable Purge

Disabled

If enabled, the secondary valve is used for purging. See Section 7.3.1.

 

 

 

Fill Type

One Stage

Specify One Stage Discrete, Two Stage Discrete, or Three Position Analog. See

 

Discrete

Section 7.3.

 

 

If Purge is enabled, you may not specify Two Stage Discrete. See Section 7.3.1.

 

 

 

Configure By

% Target

Select % Target or Quantity.

 

 

• If set to % Target, Open Primary, Open Secondary, Close Primary, and Close

 

 

Secondary values are configured as a percentage of the fill target.

 

 

• If set to Quantity, Open Primary and Open Secondary are each configured as

 

 

a quantity at which the valve should open; Close Primary and Close

 

 

Secondary are configured as a quantity that is subtracted from the target.

 

 

 

Fill Target

0.00000 g

Enter the value at which the fill will be complete.

 

 

• If Mass Flow Rate was specified for flow source, enter the value in the current

 

 

measurement unit for mass. This unit is derived from the mass flow

 

 

measurement unit (see Section 4.4.1).

 

 

• If Volume Flow Rate was specified for flow source, enter the value in the

 

 

current measurement unit for volume. This unit is derived from the volume flow

 

 

measurement unit (see Section 4.4.2).

 

 

 

Max Fill Time

0.00000 sec

Enter a value of 0.00000 or any positive number (in seconds). There is no upper

 

 

limit. If the fill does not reach the target before this time has elapsed, the fill is

 

 

aborted and fill timeout error messages are posted.

 

 

If Max Fill Time is set to 0, it is disabled.

 

 

 

Purge Mode

Manual

Select the purge control method:

 

 

• Auto: A purge cycle occurs automatically after every fill, as defined by the

 

 

Purge Delay and Purge Time parameters.

 

 

• Manual: Purge must be started and stopped using the buttons on the Run

 

 

Filler window.

 

 

Purge must be enabled before Purge Mode can be configured.

 

 

 

Purge Delay

2.00000 sec

Used only if Purge Mode is set to Auto.

 

 

Enter the number of seconds that will elapse after a fill is complete before the

 

 

purge will begin. At this point, the purge (secondary) valve will be opened

 

 

automatically.
