F132 - Batch controller

F132 - Batch controller
with two-stage control and receipt printer driver

The F132 is a straight forward two stage batch controller with the unique function to send a "print receipt" command to a printer after every batch.
The operator can easily enter a batch quantity, send an extra "print receipt" command or execute repeating batches.
During the batch, the preset value is displayed as well as the batched (or remaining) quantity including the units of measurement. The automatic self-learning overrun correction ensures an accurate result after each batch.
A wide range of options further enhance this models capabilities, including Intrinsic Safety for hazardous area applications and full Modbus communication.

Features
• Receipt printing function after each batch.
• Large display shows preset value and running batch value simultaneously.
• Two-stage control for batching larger quantities.
• Self-learning overrun correction.
• Easy operation to enter a batch value and to control the process.
• Count-up and count-down function available.
• Actual batched quantity: seven 17mm (0.67") digits.
• Preset value: seven 17mm (0.67") digits during programming and 8mm (0.31") digits during batchprocess.
• Total - resettable: seven 17mm (0.67") digits.
• Accumulated total - not resettable: eleven 8mm (0.31") digits.
• Green LED backlight.
• Auto backup of settings and running totals in EEPROM memory.
• Operational temperature: -40°C to +80°C (-40°F to 176°F).
• Very compact design for panel mount, wall mount or field mount applications.
• Rugged aluminum or GRP field mount enclosure IP67 / NEMA4X.
