VALUE number Setpoint value.
• For weight-based setpoints: Specifies the target weight value, 0–9999999.
• For time-based setpoints: Specifies, in 0.1-second intervals, a time value in the
range 0–65535.
• For COUNTER setpoints: Specifies the number of consecutive batches to be run,
0–65535.
• For PLSCNT setpoints, specifies a number of pulses, 0-65535, received by a
pulse input card.
• For PLSRAT setpoints, specifies a pulse rate in Hz, 0-65535, received by a pulse
input card.
TRIP HIGHER
LOWER
INBAND
OUTBAND Specifies whether the setpoint is satisfied when the weight is higher or lower than the
setpoint value, within a band established around the value, or outside of that band.
In a batch sequence with TRIP=HIGHER, the associated digital output is active until
the setpoint value is reached or exceeded; with TRIP=LOWER, the output is active
until the weight goes below the setpoint value.
BANDVAL 0–9999999 For setpoints with TRIP=INBAND or OUTBAND, specifies a weight equal to half the
band width. The band established around the setpoint value is VALUE ±BANDVAL.
HYSTER 0–9999999 Specifies a band around the setpoint value that must be exceeded before the
setpoint, once off, can trip on again.
PREACT OFF
ON
LEARN
FLOW Allows the digital output associated with a setpoint to shut off before the setpoint is
satisfied to allow for material in suspension.
The ON value adjusts the setpoint trip value up or down (depending on the TRIP
parameter setting) from the setpoint value.
The LEARN value can be used to automatically adjust the preact value after each
batch. LEARN compares the actual weight at standstill to the target setpoint value,
then adjusts the preact by half of the difference after each batch.
FLOW preact provides compensation for material flow rate in determining when to
shut off the digital output. Rather than waiting for the specified weight to be reached,
FLOW preact uses the change in weight over time to anticipate when the preact
weight value will be reached.
PREVAL 0–9999999 Specifies the preact value for setpoints with PREACT set to ON, LEARN, or FLOW.
Depending on the TRIP setting specified for the setpoint, the setpoint trip value is
adjusted up or down by the preact value.
PREADJ 0.500000
0–9999999 Preact adjustment factor. For setpoints with PREACT set to LEARN or FLOW,
specifies a decimal representation of the percentage of error correction applied (0.5
= 50%, 1.0 = 100%) each time a preact adjustment is made.
PRESTAB 0
0–65535 Time-out for preact learn. For setpoints with PREACT set to LEARN or FLOW,
specifies the time, in 0.1-second intervals, to wait for standstill before adjusting the
preact value. Setting this parameter to a value greater than zero disables the learn
process if standstill is not achieved in the specified interval.
PCOUNT 1
0–65535 Preact learn interval. For setpoints with PREACT set to LEARN or FLOW, specifies
the number of batches after which the preact value is recalculated. The default value,
1, recalculates the preact value after every batch cycle.
TOLBAND 0
0–9999999 Tolerance band. For setpoints with TRIP set to HIGHER or LOWER, specifies a
tolerance band around the target weight. If the captured weight is not within the
specified tolerance band, the preact learn function is not applied and the batch is
paused (based on the value of the TOLCNT parameter, below) until restarted or
reset.
