SPECIAL FUNCTION o BATCHING FUNCTION o OPERATION
BATCH PROCEDURE
(7260)
Use this function to control a batching process. The batching can be started manually or a 
batching already running can be interrupted or stopped at any time.
Options:
STOP (Stop batching)
START (Start batching)
HOLD (Interrupt batching)
GO ON (Continue batching)
Factory setting:
STOP
! Note!
• This function can also be controlled via the status input, (see function ASSIGN 
STATUS INPUT (5000) on page 112).
• If the information line has been assigned to BATCHING MENU (see page 50), the 
application-specific functions of the minus key (START-STOP) and the plus key 
(HOLD-GO ON / batching specification) are defined locally. In this way, a direct 
batching control station is available locally at the measuring device by means of the 
user interface (not access-protected).
• In the event of a fault:
– during the batching process, the batching is canceled (STOP) and the local display 
alternates between displaying the batching menu and the fault message.
• If the positive zero return is activated, (see page 133):
– during the batching process, the batching is canceled (STOP).
– during a pause in the batching (option HOLD), the batching cannot be restarted, 
(see also notice messages # 571 and # 572 in the Operating Instructions Proline 
Promass 83, BA 059D/06/en, Chapter Troubleshooting.
