Device Functions Proline Promass 83 10 Block SPECIAL FUNCTION
MIN. BATCHING
QUANTITY
(7241)
Use this function to specify a minimum batching quantity. A message is generated if the
minimum batching quantity was not achieved by the time batching ends (e.g. if after run
mode is active). The quantity value is entered as a % or as an absolute value, depending
on the option in the function INPUT FORMAT (7209).
Application:
Message stating that underbatching is present (e.g. the contents of the containers does
not correspond to the quantity declared).
User input:
0 to max. value or 0 to 100% (related to the batch quantity)
Factory setting:
0 [unit] (= deactivated)
" Caution!
• When the batching quantity is adjusted (reduced/increased), (see function BATCH
QUANTITY (7203) on page 148), there is no automatic adjustment, i.e. this value
must be determined again and reentered (see also the fault message # 472 in the
Operating Instructions Proline Promass 83, BA 059D/06/en, Troubleshooting
Chapter).
• Batching (START) is not possible when the fault message is active!
! Note!
• The function is not active if you enter 0 (factory setting).
• As a factory setting, this function is assigned a fault message. This appears for
60 seconds. The fault message can be acknowledged earlier by changing a batching
function.
• If this function is intended more for general monitoring purposes or if there is a short
time lapse between two batching processes, it is advisable to assign this function to a
notice message, (see function ERROR CATEGORY on page 181). However, while the
notice message is active (60 seconds) the next batching can be started and the notice
message is acknowledged.
• This function can be output via the switch output.
