6.7.39. Function 51 – Filling needle set-up
If a system is connected to movable filling needles a special set-up is required for the
system, this is done using Function 51.
There are two systems for movable filling needles.
A system which lowers the filling needle into the bottle during the
filling. The filling needle remains lowered throughout the filling. This
system does not require set-up in Function 51.
A system which lowers the filling needle to the bottom of the bottle
before the drive is started. When the drive is started, the filling
needle moves slowly upwards, adjusted in such a way that the
filling needle follows the liquid.
When the filling is completed, the filling needle will retract quickly.
This system requires set-up in Function 51.
Filling needle set-up is chosen by a number depending on the system.
Pneumatical Dumping needle = 0
Pneumatical Bottom-up filling = 1
Can be connected to individual drive
(many per system)
Electrical Dumping needle = 2
Electrical Bottom-up fillin = 3
Must be connected to MC12
(only 1 per system)
As it appears from the above, pneumatical dumping needle does not require set-up by
function 51.
Pneumatical bottom-Up (=1)
If 1 is selected, the system will ask for the drive number that the filling needle should follow.
F51 NEEDLE-TYPE: 1_
F51 FOLLOW DRIVE: 0_
The drive number is entered followed by <ENT>, and the system will go into set-up position.
F51SET-UP(0:DOWN/:UP):_
The set-up position makes it possible to adjust the filling needle mechanically when
connected to MC12.
When <0> is entered, the filling needle moves to its lowest point and remains there.
When <1> is entered, the filling needle moves to its highest point and remains there.
When the mechanical adjustment of the filling needle is finished, press <ENT> and the set-
up procedure is completed and the system will control the connected bottom-up filling
system.
