F136 - Batch controller

F136 - Batch controller
with two-stage control, pulse output and analog output in relation to the course of the batch process

The F136 offers, in addition to the standard batch control functions, an analog output signal in relation to the course of the batch process. This to transmit the course of the process. For example, a 4mA will be generated when START has been pressed and this value will increase smoothly to 18.7mA when the overrun correction closes the valve. The end value will be 20mA when the batch is finished. The operator can enter a batch quantity easily or execute repeating batches.
During the batch, the preset value is displayed simultaneously with the batched or remaining quantity. The automatic self-learning overrun correction will ensure an accurate batch every time. On-screen engineering units are easily configured from a comprehensive selection.
A wide range of options further enhance this models capabilities, including Intrinsic Safety for hazardous area applications and full Modbus communication.

Features
• Large display shows preset value and running batch value simultaneously.
• The analog output value reflects the course of the batch process; fourteen different profiles can be selected.
• 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.
• Scaled pulse output reflecting accumulated or batched total.
• 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.
