GSE
60 Series - Process – Batch Controllers
GSE
offers a broad line of Programmable Indicators, Load Cells and Tank
Mounts and Scales that have the Ultimate Level
of Flexibility and are designed to meet the
most demanding applications. They can be a
Stand alone system or connected to a PC.
The GSE 60 Series controllers can be used
in Automatic, Semi-automatic and manual modes.
Timers and timer delays can be added for set
points mixers, agitators, and it can control
the opening and closing of gates and valves.
The Manual Additive system will display and
prompt operators for each Ingredient.
Applications:
Batching, Filling and Discharging, Loss
in Weight, Bulk Bag, Auto Dump Systems,
Bulk Processing, Formula Controllers, Formula
Manual Additive System, Rate Controls,
In- Motion and Static Check Weighing, Material
Handling, Inventory Tracking and Control,
RFI Communications, Conveyor and Vibration
Controls.
GSE “User C”
Development Kit for those who want to write
there own programs:
User C maximizes capabilities and reduces
development time by allowing application
developers the ability to write and compile
routines in the C programming language.
All applications can be Sequential or Simultaneous, adding one ingredient
at a time or multiple ingredients are added
to a vessel one at a time. Multiple Scales
can be used simultaneously.
Ingredient and Formula
Recipes:
The 60 Series Controllers can store
and recall in its Database simple one or
two ingredient formulas or utilize extensive
recipes with the 4K Standard database which
is expandable up to 2M.
By using a network connection,
formulas can be downloaded from a PC using
Excel and other programs.
Preacts/Jog/Tolerances:
The 60 Series controllers have a Preact
“Learn Feature” when enabled
the feature will automatically adjust the
final cutoff valve based on an analysis
of the previous operations, helping to achieve
a final target by compensating for product
viscosity, changes in plant air, sticky
valves, etc. For each cycle the prior
five final weights are analyzed and a new
pre-act value is established.
Tolerances for each Ingredient
can be stored in the controller and it will
alarm and display to the operator if the
weight is out of tolerance. Operators will
have the option to “Accept out of
Tolerance”. In cases where the weight
is low the operator can use the Manual Jog
Button.
Inputs/Interlocks:
When doing batching, the system may
require an input that there is a problem
or that the all conditions are ready, before
the controller opens the valves or gates,
etc.
The 60 Series Controller
can have as many as 128 input connections,
for photo cells, proximity switches, limit
switches, etc. These Interlocks will signal
if a gate is open or closed, if a drum is
in place, if it’s ok to discharge,
or if the scale is with in zero tolerance.
Data Management/Batch
Reports:
The 60 Series Controller has 250 Programmable
Independent Data Base structures. It has
4K data modules standard and is expandable
up to 2M.
Individual Batch reports
can include time and date, batch number,
ingredient number, each ingredient weight
in the recipe as well as the actual weight
and total of batches. Total Batch and Ingredient
reports are available. Data Bases can be
customized to fit your needs. Data can be
stored in the Controller and printer later
or can be automatic uploaded to a computer
by networks.
Communications:
RS-232 is Standard
Options include:
RS-485- Multi-Drop up to 251 devices
in half or full duplex to a distance of
4,000 ft
Analog Output available
in 0-10 VDC, 0-20 ma or 4-20 ma absolute
zero and full scale values are programmable,
16 Bit resolution
Ethernet Module comes
with the IP Set up tool for establishing
a static IP Address or DHCP server compatible.
To expedite setup, a dynamic on-board web
server makes network configuration fast
and simple.
RFI Communication Modules:
- 900 MHzSR - Indoor,
300 ft up to 1,000 ft
- 900 MHzLR - Indoor,
1,500 ft up to 7 Miles (Line of sight)
- 2.4 GHz - Indoor, 600
ft up to 3 Miles (Line of sight)
Modbus, DeviceNet and
Profibus Modules are available.
