PD2-6310 Connected to the PDA2364-MSBS Control Station
UL Listing

What sets the Helios apart from other Large Display Meters is its dual line display with super bright LEDs that can be read even in bright sunlight and up to 100 feet away. Based on Precision Digital's popular line of ProVu® digital panel meters, the Helios can satisfy a wide variety of level, flow, temperature, pressure, & weight applications. It is available with models that accept 4-20 mA, thermocouple, RTD, pulse, strain gauge, AC and DC volts and current, and even Modbus®.

Go with the Helios PD2-6310 when you need to do batch controlling using a pulse output flowmeter. The PD2-6310's huge display means operators don't have to be close up to the instrument to monitor the status of the batching application. And its NEMA 4X, IP65 rated field mountable enclosure allows the PD2-6310 to be mounted in wet, dusty, and dirty areas. The PD2-6310 can handle single and multi-stage batching applications.

Applications


Single and Multi-Stage Batching

The Helios can be used as a single or multi-stage batch controller. Relays assigned to the total act as batch control relays, with additional relays beyond the first including a preclose value. The preclose deactivates the relay before the batch is finished, to allow slower fill rates and a more accurate batch finish. With expansion module relays, up to eight-stage batching is possible. Each additional stage batching relay has an individually programmable preclose amount.



Single Stage Batch Control



Multi-Stage Batch Control



Manual Multi-Stage Batch Control Operation

System Setup
1. Both valves are closed with an empty barrel in place. The batched total is displayed in the upper display, the preset is selected for the lower display.

Batch Start
2. The START button is pressed, with both valves open. The barrel begins to fill.

Preclose Valve
3. When the batch total reaches a value of 50.00 (Preset [55.00] Preclose [5.00]) the full-flow valve closes. The fill rate of the tank slows as a result.

Completed Batch
4. When the batch total equals the preset amount, the restricted-flow valve closes. The barrel is now full. If some overrun occurs, the next batch will adjust for this offset amount to maintain accuracy.

Change Preset
5. After placing a new, empty barrel, a new preset fill amount may be selected with the Batch key, while the process is stopped.

Begin New Batch
6. Press the START key and a new batch will begin. With both valves open, the process continues.

Pause/Stop
7. At any time, the STOP button may be pressed, once to Pause the process, or twice to cancel the batch, which stops the process.
