2 Internal usage only

General Features

Self contained batch solution for small, standalone applications. All functionality performed by internal JagBASIC program Is supplied in single metal enclosure. Integrated panel mount serial printer

- For feed, batch and consumption reports

Integrated 4x20 character display- For clear operator prompts and messages

Operator prompts and status information displayed Feed History data transmitted via Ethernet after each feed Feed, batch and consumption reports available on RS232 port Customization (within reason !):

- JagBASIC code is written by MT personnel, this allows us to customize the functionality quickly and easily. - Ie operator prompts and data format output- RS232 data to Host control and PC systems- RS232 commands from a Host control system

Recipe configuration

Recipe configured via Matroller front display and keypad. External keyboard also supported! Recipe’s can be:

- Created- Deleted- Edited

Note: edit of existing phases (steps) only. New phases cannot be appended to an existing recipe, yet.

Recipe file can be copied into and out of the Matroller, - This allows off line editing of recipe

QBCompact configuration and setup

The QBCompact has a fixed relationship between the Material Paths in the recipe and the physical relay O/Ps.

Ie if the recipe phase asks for 300 kg of MP 6. Then Relay #6 will turn ON when this phase is executed.

When a non feed phase is active then the MP selection O/Ps are all 0. The BCD MP decoder by design will then turn ON O/P1. We therefore recommend where possible to NOT use MP1 when configuring your system. If MP1 is used then please be aware that by default this O/P of the steering matrix will be ON when no other MPs are selected.

Configure Matroller Channel/s Configure Matroller material Paths Wire field Control elements to QBCompact terminals (when appropriate)

- !! MP3 in a recipe will turn ON relay 3. Ensure that you are using the correct Relay

Typical recipe

Process description (single scale)- Add 300 kg of MP2 (water)- Wait for 34 seconds- Add 25 kg of MP3 (paste)- Wait for temperature to reach 50 deg (mix during this period)- Empty Scale, MP5 (discharge cycle)

Process Notes:- After adding paste, an O/P from the Matroller must trigger a heat phase of a

separate temperature controller. Once the target temp has been reached an O/P of the temp controller will turn on, this O/P will trigger the next phase of the recipe

In PAC database, configure:- Scale A as Channel 1- MP2 as GIW, Channel 1, Spill, water- MP3 as GIW, Channel 1, K1, paste- MP5 as LIW, Channel 1, DTE, discharge, destination as 255

16 Internal usage only

Wiring to the field

Connect MP2, 3 and 6 field wires to Relays 2, 3 and 6 Matroller MF O/P 4 connected to Relay x (ref: official schematic) Temp controller O/P connected to MF I/P 2 Provide correct voltage for field devices QBCompact O/Ps are potential free contacts, an external voltage must be supplied for

powering the field devices

17 Internal usage only

Recipe Structure

The following information is required to be entered into a recipe- Recipe name (16 characters )- Channel # ( 1 Char )- MP # (2 Chars )- Type (GIW, LIW, Event, Timer, Hand Add) - Target (6 Chars)- Pos Tolerance (6 Chars)- Neg Tolerance (6 Chars)

The Matroller will prompt you through each step

18 Internal usage only

Misc Information

MF I/P # 3 is used to pause the process at the end or start of a physical feed. This can be connected to a PLC O/P which could be used as an interlock between the

PLC and the batching process. The PLC will then provide an OK to feed signal. When starting a recipe you will be prompted to enter in the number of required batches,

enter in a number from 1 (default) to 98. Entering 99 will result in an infinite number of batches (continuous cycle) The MPs will “wrap around after Timers
