OVERVIEW

Introduction

The F136 offers in addition to the standard functions an analog output signal in relation to the batch process. This to transmit the course of the process. 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. The automatic self-learning overrun correction will ensure an accurate result each batch again.

Display

The display has large 17mm (0.67”) and 8mm (0.31”) digits. Besides the process information, 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. All settings are safely stored in EEPROM memory in the event of sudden power failure.

Analog Output Signal

The (0)4-20mA or 0 - 10V DC output signal is related to the batch process. For example, a 4mA will be generated when START has been pressed and this value will increase smoothly to 18.7mA when the overrun correction closes the valve. The end value will be 20mA when the batch is finished. Fourteen different profiles are available to re-transmit the course of the process (see section profiles). The output signal can be passive, active or isolated where the passive output type will loop power the F136 as well.

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, where the second output is available as a scaled pulse output. The output signals can be a passive NPN, active PNP or an isolated electro-mechanical relay.

Signal Input

The F136 will accept most pulse and analog input signals for flow or mass flow measurement. The input signal type can be selected by the user in the configuration menu without having to adjust any sensitive mechanical dip-switches or jumpers.

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. Full Modbus functionality remains available for the Intrinsically Safe version (TTL).

Hazardous area

For hazardous area applications, this model has been ATEX certified Intrinsically Safe

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

II 2 GD EEx d IIB T5.

Enclosures

Various types of enclosures can be selected, all ATEX approved. As standard the F136 is supplied in a GRP panel mount enclosure, which can be converted to an field mount enclosure. Most popular is our rugged aluminum field mount enclosure with IP67 / NEMA 4X rating. Both European or U.S. cable gland entry threads are available.

ORDERING INFORMATION

Standard Model Number Configuration: F136-P-AP-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

see the price of the fully configured model
have an opportunity to purchase the product
have the capability to e-mail the configuration to us, yourself, or a third person
