Description

 

 

 

Fill Setup

Current Total

Displays the running fill total, updated periodically, for the current fill.

 

 

This value is not updated between fills. However, if flow is present while a fill is

 

 

paused, the value is updated.

 

 

 

 

Reset Fill Total

Resets the fill total to 0.

 

 

 

 

Current Target

Displays the target quantity for the current fill.

 

 

• To change this value, enter the new target value and click Apply.

 

 

• You cannot change the target while a fill is in progress, unless the fill is

 

 

paused.

 

 

 

 

AOC Coeff

Displays the factor used to adjust the target, if AOC is enabled.(1)

 

 

• To change this value, enter the new AOC value and click Apply. WARNING:

 

 

Writing to this parameter will overwrite any existing AOC calibration results.

 

 

• You cannot change the AOC coefficient while a fill is in progress, whether the

 

 

fill is currently flowing or is paused.

 

 

 

Fill Control

Begin Filling

Starts the fill.

 

 

The fill total is automatically reset before filling begins.

 

 

 

 

Pause Filling

Temporarily stops the fill.

 

 

The fill can be resumed if the fill total is less than the fill target.

 

 

 

 

Resume Filling

Restarts a fill that has been paused.

 

 

Counting resumes from the total at which the fill was paused.

 

 

 

 

End Filling

Permanently stops the fill or purge.

 

 

The fill cannot be resumed.

 

 

 

 

Begin Purge

Begins a manual purge by opening the secondary valve.

 

 

You cannot begin a purge while a fill is in progress.

 

 

You cannot begin a fill while a purge is in progress.

 

 

 

 

End Purge

Ends a manual purge by closing the secondary valve.

 

 

 

 

Begin Cleaning

Opens all valves (except purge valve) that are assigned to a transmitter output.

 

 

Cleaning cannot be started if a fill or purge is in progress.

 

 

 

 

End Cleaning

Closes all valves that are assigned to a transmitter output.

 

 

 

AOC

Start AOC Cal

Begins AOC calibration.

Calibration

 

 

Save AOC Cal

Ends AOC calibration and saves the calculated AOC coefficient.

 

 

 

 

 

Override Blocked Start

Enables filling if the fill has been blocked by:

 

 

• Slug flow

 

 

• A core processor fault

 

 

• The last measured flow rate is too high, as indicated by the corresponding

 

 

status LED (see Table 8-2).

 

 

 

 

Reset AOC Flow

Resets the last measured flow rate to zero, to bypass the condition indicated by

 

Rate(2)

the AOC Flow Rate Too High status LED (see Table 8-2).

 

 

If the flow rate is too high, and this is not a one-time condition:

• And you are using standard AOC calibration, try resetting the AOC flow rate (see below). If this does not clear the condition, repeat AOC calibration.

• And you are using rolling AOC calibration, overriding the blocked start once or twice should correct the condition.
