Weighing Indicator/Controller for Fast Fill Operations (ADW-FFW)
- For fast & accurate fill control
- Fast 100 updates per second input
- Fast & slow feeds
- System speed optimisation
- Auto tare
- Auto calibration
- Auto ‘In Flight ‘ compensation
- 'Weight complete' output
- Stand alone or control with PLC
The ADW-FFW Weighing Indicator is to control high speed, high accuracy filling by weight for strain gauge or load cell applications. Either in a stand alone mode or in conjunction with a PLC.
Operation:
On receipt of the start fill signal weightment is auto tared, and the relay contacts for fast and slow speed are closed, The system is optimised by a routine to ensure that, fast feed is held as long as possible.
In-flight compensation is applied to the slow feed and automatically adjusted to minimise final error.
When pre set values are reached, contacts turn off the fast and slow feeds.
A 'weight complete' signal is given when within pre selected setting values and time, Auto Tare will take place only when the value falls within a pre set auto tare band.
| Input Details | |
