2.0CONTROLS

When all components are available the dispense of a batch starts. The cycle begins with closing the weigh-pan. Then each of the requested components is dispensed and weighed in the weigh-pan. When all the components of the recipe are correctly weighed, the blend is discharged into the mixing-chamber. A horizontal mixer mixes the components to a uniform blend which discharges to a storage bin, or directly into the machine hopper.

2.1Blender start-up

In this section is a short description of the normal start-up action of the blending system. More details of the controls are described in the following sections. An emergency stop can be made to shut-down the machine by pushing the button as indicated in drawing 1 in § 7.7.1.

Steps to follow for the start-up of the blending system:

[1]Plug the communication cable into the user-interface and control box on the blender.

[2]Connect air pressure to the blender and turn it on, 6 bar is recommended.

[3]Turn on the power. On the user-interface and control-box.

[4]Select the right language. The selected language is indicated.

Select a different language through key <↑> or <↓> and press <ENTER>.

[5]If necessary adjust date and time.

[6]Select the blender to be started.

[7]Select on the interface the desired recipe from the menu (F1) ‘controller / select recipe’

[8]Be sure there is no alarm active.

[9]Start the blender, press <START>.

The blender will now operate automatically on the select recipe.

2.2Blender status

The control of the blender is based on a number of status. Each status gives an exact description in which situation the controller is. The controller knows the following status:

Inactive

At the start-up of the blender several internal tests will be done automatically if the controller can’t find a recipe. In this status the blender will not start until a recipe is edited.

Standby

The blender is complete in rest but can be started any moment by giving the start-command. In this status recipes, parameters and debug-commands can be sent to the controller.

Operating

The blender will now produce a blend for the selected recipe.
