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
Table 7-3 Filling 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. |
