1.1 DL8000 Overview
The DL8000 can be operated in an independent, stand-alone mode with
the operator controlling and monitoring batch delivery operations from
the control panel located on the front of the unit.
Note: Although the DL8000 can also function as a slave unit in a
terminal automation system (TAS) network, this manual only
discusses local operation of the DL8000 in the stand-alone
mode.
The DL8000 accepts process input signals from and provides process
control signals to the common instruments and devices used in liquid
batch delivery systems. These instruments and devices include:
Liquid flow meters (volumetric or mass inputs from a turbine,
Coriolis, ultrasonic, or other flow measurement devices using single
or linearized meter factors).
Solenoid-controlled digital flow control valves (both digital and 2-
stage).
Additive injectors.
Security devices for verifying electrical ground connections and
compartment overfills.
