MICROPROCESSOR
CONTROLLED BATCHING COMPUTER
Models Available:
The Flow Control System
I (FCSI), a state of the art microprocessor controlled batching computer, further broadens
the scope of applications suitable for the Wilden pump to include batching and metering.
The principles of operation are quite simple. An air-operated, double-diaphragm pump (
AODDP) discharges a repeatable amount of process fluid on every stroke of the diaphragm.
The FCSI counts the strokes and controls the pump so that specific, repeatable quantities
can be batched.
The FCSI has a user-friendly interface. The
operating software within the FCSI is designed to allow variable configurations for use in
a variety of applications. The system has manual entry screen, which allow the user to
customize data based on specific application calculations. Once the system is programmed,
the data is held in memory even when the unit is off, or disconnected, and can be
rewritten up to 10,000 times. The back-lit LCD display is easy to read even in poor
lighting conditions. Text and numbers are displayed, enabling the user to interface with
the FCSI in English, instead of referring to a thick technical manual. To assist the user
when programming the FCSI, help screens are provided. At the touch of a button, additional
information concerning every system setup feature or data entry is given.
The FCSI can be used with either standard
Wilden air-shifted pumps or Wilden solenoid-operated pumps. Three separate batch
quantities can be preprogrammed. In addition, the FCSI can accept input from a host of
external sensors or switches or switches supplied by the user to customize the
application. The FCSI also allows the user to program a batch to repeat itself at preset
time intervals for a specific number of cycles. In addition, an external 4-20 mA input
signal can control the batch by regulating the pump speed. |
