OVERVIEW


Introduction

The F130 is a straight forward Batch controller offering exactly what is required for many applications. The operator can enter a batch quantity easily or execute repeating batches. During the batch, the preset value is displayed as well as the batched (or remaining) quantity and the units of measurement. The automatic self-learning overrun correction will ensure an accurate result each batch again. A wide selection of options further enhance this models capabilities, including Intrinsic Safety and full Modbus communication.

Display

The display has large 17mm (0.67”) and 8mm (0.31”) digits which are used to display the batched quantity and the preset value simultaneously. On-screen engineering units are easily configured from a comprehensive selection. A seven digit resettable "day total" is available as well as an eleven digit non-resettable accumulated total. All are backed-up in EEPROM memory every minute.

Configuration

All configuration settings are accessed via a simple operator menu which can be pass-code protected. Each setting is clearly indicated with an alphanumerical description, therefore avoiding confusing abbreviations and baffling codes. Once familiar with one F-series product, you will be able to program all models in the series without a manual. All settings are safely stored in EEPROM memory in the event of sudden power failure.

Control Output

Two outputs are available which can be configured to operate as two stage control for large batch quantities or one stage control for smaller batches. In this case, the second output is available as a scaled pulse output according to accumulated total or batch total. The pulse output length is user defined from 0.008 second up to 2 seconds. The maximum output frequency is 64Hz. The output signals can be a passive NPN, active PNP or isolated electro-mechanical relays.

Signal Input

The F130 will accept most pulse and analog input signals for flow or mass flow measurement. For remote control, two inputs are available to start, pause and stop the batch process.

No-Flow

If there is a predefined time-out in the input signal, the no-flow alarm will be triggered. The F130 goes in pause-mode and the display will show: NO FLOW.

Communication

All process data and settings can be read and modified manually or through the Modbus communication link (RS232 / RS485). If desired, the batch process can even be started and stopped through communication.

Hazardous area

For hazardous area applications, this model has been ATEX certified Intrinsically Safe ATEX Certification II 1 GD EEx ia IIB / IIC T4 T100°C with an allowed operational temperature of -30°C to +70°C (-22°F to +158°F). A flame proof enclosure is also available with the rating ATEX Certification II 2 GD EEx d IIB T5.

Enclosures

Various types of enclosures can be selected, all ATEX approved. The F130 is supplied in a GRP or rugged aluminum panel mount enclosure, which can be converted to an IP67 / NEMA 4X field mount enclosure. Both European or U.S. cable gland entry threads are available.

ORDERING INFORMATION

Standard Model Number Configuration: F130-P-AX-CX-EX-HC-IX-OT-PX-TX-XX-ZX

To aid in the construction of a Fluidwell model number a model configurator must be used. The path to this Configurator is contained in the link shown below. However, it would help to first review the options shown below.

NOTE: If you require the product to be Intrinsically Safe (ATEX, IECEx, CSA or c-us), the options you choose should only include those options that carry the ATEX symbol next to them. The Configurator will not allow you to mix and match options, unless the product is to be used in a Safe Area.

Once a new model is generated using the Configurator, you will
  1. see the price of the fully configured model
  2. have an opportunity to purchase the product
  3. have the capability to e-mail the configuration to us, yourself, or a third person
