Operator Information and Functions
In general, the PC200 functions at the Operator level. The information displayed and the functional keys available depend on
the SETUP settings and the active function.
A key symbol indicates a particular key or function is locked and not available.
Enter a Batch Quantity
To change the PRESET value:
1. Press PROG. The word "PROGRAM" ashes on the display.
2. Use the numerical keyboard 0-9 and the decimal position to enter the new value.
3. Press ENTER to save the new value or press RESET to cancel the change and keep the PRESET value.
Figure 19: Example display information during programming preset value
Batch Maximum / Minimum
If you try to program a value that is not valid (the batch size is too large or too small), the increase ( ) or decrease ( ) sign
displays. The new value is ignored and the minimum or maximum allowed value is set.
Starting the Batch Process
The batch process can only be started up when "READY" is displayed. The batch process is started up by pressing the START
key. Depending on the SETUP settings, one or two relays will be switched. The arrows at the display indicate if the ACTUAL
value will be counting up or down.
Once the PRESET quantity is reached, the batch outputs will be switched off and the batch process is ended. A next batch can
be started with the same PRESET quantity or a new value can be entered.
The PC200 is equipped with a smart (self learning) overrun correction: at the end of the process, the outputs will be switched
OFF earlier as the PRESET value, taking the overrun quantity of previous batches into account. The result is an accurate batch,
even in slowly varying circumstances. During overrun, a clock will display and "R1 / R2" will be flashing.

Operator Alarms
No Flow Alarm
The PC200 offers a no-flow monitoring feature: if the flow meter fails to generate a signal during a certain period of time, the
unit will shut off the control outputs and bring the batch controller in HOLD and alarm mode. A “NO FLOW” alarm message
will display.
To clear the alarm, press RESET once while the batch controller remains in HOLD mode. When in HOLD mode, the batch can
be continued or interrupted. See “Interrupting and Ending the Batch Process” on page19.
Flow Rate Alarm
If during a batch process the actual flow rate is outside the allowed range, a “LO RATE”, or “HI RATE” alarm message will display,
indicating the type of alarm: “LO RATE”, “HI RATE”.
Based on the configuration setting 4.5 Reset Flow Rate Alarm, the following will happen:
• Auto mode: The process is not interrupted, the alarm cannot be cleared and will disappear once the flow rate is within its
limits again.
• Manual mode: Press FLOW RATE followed by RESET to acknowledge the alarm; the alarm will disappear. The alarm will be
cleared automatically in case the batch process is ended.
• Hold mode: The batch process will go on HOLD automatically as soon as the flow rate is outside the allowed range. To clear
the alarm, press RESET once, while the batch controller remains in HOLD mode. When in HOLD mode, the batch can be
continued or cancelled completely. See “Interrupting and Ending the Batch Process” on page19.

measure only.
Table 3: Preset functions
2 – OVERRUN
Overrun can occur at the end of the batch process, as a result of slowness of a valve or pump. Consequently, the accuracy is
less. With this function, the PC200 analyzes the actual overrun characteristic of every batch again. This information is used to
correct the overrun automatically.
OVERRUN
21
For an accurate overrun correction, the flow meter must:
• Be high resolution.
• Show no false overrun due to a slow update time.
• Not spin once the valve is closed.
Do not enable this function if the flow meter does not meet these technical demands.
TIME (OVERRUN)

The overrun characteristic of the system will be analyzed during a certain time after switching-off
the valves. This eliminates false signals generated through leakage.
Enter the time you expect the system needs to stop a batch. Provide some extra time to avoid an
incorrect overrun correction.
OTE:NThe next batch can only be started after the overrun time elapses.
The minimum overrun time is 0.1 second.
The maximum overrun time is 999.9 seconds.

3 – FLOW RATE
MEASUREMENT UNIT 31SETUP – 21 determines the measurement unit for flow rate.
The following units can be selected:
L, m3, USGAL, IGAL, ft3, bbl, kg, ton, US ton, lb
Alteration of the measurement unit will have consequences for other SETUP level values (high and
low flow rate alarms).
OTE:NBased on setting 61, the selection is limited to volumetric or mass flow units of
measure only.
TIME UNIT
32
The flow rate can be calculated per second (SEC), minute (MIN), hour (HR) or day (DAY).
Alteration of the time unit will have consequences for other SETUP level values (high and low flow
rate alarms).
DECIMALS
33
This setting determines for flow rate the number of digits following the decimal point. The
following can be selected:
00000, 1111.1, 2222.22, 3333.333
Alteration of the decimals will have consequences for other SETUP level values (high and low flow
rate alarms).
CALCULATION
34
The flow rate is calculated by measuring the time between a number of pulses, for example 10
pulses. The more pulses the more accurate the flow rate will be. The maximum value is 255 pulses.
OTE:NFor low frequency applications (below 10 Hz): do not program more than 10 pulses or the
update time will be very slow.
OTE:NFor high frequency application (above 1 kHz) program a value of 50 or more pulses.
Cutoff TIME
35
With this setting, you determine a minimum flow requirement threshold. If during this time less
than XXX-pulses (SETUP 34) are generated, the flow rate will display as zero.
Enter the cutoff time in seconds. The maximum time is 999.9 seconds (about 15 minutes).

4 – ALARM
The PC200 offers a no-flow monitoring feature: if the flow meter fails to generate a signal during
a certain period of time, the unit will shut off the control outputs and bring the batch controller in
HOLD and alarm status. After clearing the alarm, the batch can be continued or denied.
The maximum time to generate a signal is 999.9 seconds (about 15 minutes).
With value zero (0) this function is disabled.
The minimum required flow rate is set with this setting. Once the flow rate is lower as this value
and the delay time has passed (setting 44), a low flow rate alarm will be generated.
With value zero (0) this function is disabled.
The maximum allowed flow rate is set with this setting. Once the flow rate is above this value and
the delay time has passed (setting 44), a high flow rate alarm will be generated.
With value zero (0) this function is disabled.
An alarm generated by SETUP 42 or 43 can be ignored during X-time.
If the actual flow rate is still incorrect after this delay time an alarm will be generated.
Once a flow rate alarm has been generated, select a way to proceed:
• Automatic: the batch process will not get on hold, the alarm situation will display on the LCD
and if applicable, on the control outputs. If the flow rate comes within the allowed range, the
alarm will be reset automatically.
• Manual: as automatic, but the alarm has to be RESET by the operator.
• Stop batch: as automatic but the process will be on HOLD: the Operator can resume or reset
the batch.

6 – FLOW METER
The PC200 is able to handle high and low frequency pulses. Do use the right terminal connection. See “Installation” on
page9.
The PC200 calculates automatically the internal K-Factors for selected measuring units for PRESET (SETUP 11) and Flow rate
(SETUP 31).
UNIT K-FACTOR
61
SETUP – 61 determines the measurement unit for the K-Factor entry (setting 62). According to the
calibration sheet of your flow meter, a certain number of pulses are generated versus a certain
volume and measuring unit. Enter the measuring unit.
The following units can be selected: L, m3, USGAL, IGAL, ft3, bbl, kg, ton, US ton, lb
Alteration of the measurement unit will have consequences for operator and SETUP level values.
K-FACTOR
62
With the K-factor, the flow meter pulse signals are converted to a quantity. The K-factor is based
on the number of pulses generated by the flow meter per selected measurement unit (SETUP 61),
for example per cubic feet. The more accurate the K-factor, the more accurate the functioning of
the system will be.
Example 1: Calculating the K-factor.
Let us assume that the flow meter generates 248.13 pulses per liter. So, the K-factor is 248.13.
Enter for SETUP – 61: “Liter”.
Enter for SETUP – 62: “248.13”.
Example 2: Calculating the K-factor.
Let us assume that the flow meter generates 6.5231 pulses per gallon. So, the K-Factor is 6.5231.
Enter for SETUP – 61: “USGAL”.
Enter for SETUP – 62: “6.5231”.

7 – RELAY OUTPUT
Two mechanical control outputs are available to control relays or valves. Relay 1 is always used as the main batch control
relay, its function cannot be determined.
The second relay as well as the three transistor outputs can be used for the desired function:
• Batch: the function is equal to relay 1.
• Preclose: used for two-stage control. See SETUP 75.
• LO flow alarm: switched once a low flow rate alarm has been triggered. See SETUP 42.
• HI flow alarm: switched once a high flow rate alarm has been triggered. See SETUP 43.
• No-flow alarm: switched in case a no-flow is triggered. See SETUP 41.
• Any flow alarm: switched in case a flow rate or no-flow alarm will be triggered.
• Pre-warn: to generate a switch signal at X-volume before end-of batch. See SETUP 75 and 76.
• Pulse: for use as a scaled pulse output. See SETUP 77 and 78.
• End of batch: will switch on at the end of a batch till a next batch is started (so reverse to the batch process).

PRECLOSE QUANTITY 75According to the setting Preclose, the switch moment of the output is based on the remaining
quantity before the end of batch.
With value zero (0) this function is disabled.
PREWARNING
76
According to the setting Pre-warn, the output will be switch at the moment of Preclose during
X- seconds.
This time can be set in the range: 0.1…999.9 seconds.
PULSE WIDTH
77
The pulse width determines the time that the output will be switched; in other words the pulse
length. This pulse length determines also the maximum frequency based on a 50/50 duty cycle.
Maximum frequency = 1 / 2*pulse length (in seconds)
The pulse width is set in milliseconds in the range 0.001…9.999 seconds.
Value “zero” disable the pulse output.
OTE:NIf the frequency should go out of range—when the flow rate increases, for example—an
internal buffer will be used to store the missed pulses: As soon as the flow rate slows
down, the buffer will be emptied. It might be that pulses will be missed due to a bufferoverflow, so it is advised to program this setting within its range!
IMPULSE PER
78
A pulse will be generated every X-quantity.
Enter this quantity while taking the displayed decimal position and measuring unit into account
(according to PRESET).
PULSE ACCORDING
ACC. TOTAL / BATCH
79
This function determines if a pulse will be generated according the quantity batched or according
to accumulated total.
With setting BATCH, the pulse generator will be set to zero when a new batch is started up (and
does not reflect the complete totalized volume).
