5.2.2 Function for entering a value for the preset counter

A value for the preset counter can be entered any time. This value can either be entered in
the Display menu, or by pressing one of the keys 0-9 or period. It does not matter whether a
batching process is currently active when you enter the value. The new preset counter value
is used when the next batching process is started.

If the preset counter is part of a display group, the preset counter value which is valid
for the current batch is always displayed. If the value is changed when the batching
process is stopped, the new value appears immediately on the display. However, if
the value is changed during an active batching operation, the old value of the preset
counter, which still applies for the current batch run, is displayed until this batching
operation is finished. The new value, which is valid for the next batching operation,
is displayed directly afterwards.

6.2.1 Batch controller with flow measurement and 1-stage batching

This application describes the standard application of the batch controller RA33. It is
presented as a metering instrument in this application. The flow is measured and the valve
is controlled in such a way that the specified quantity of medium is batched precisely.

a0014354-EN

 25: Batch controller with flow measurement and 1-stage batching

Input signals:

Flow, (pulse input or current input)

Output signals:

Valve control (relay or open collector)

Required settings:

a. Flow input: Enter pulse value or measuring range of the 0/4 to 20 mA input.

b. Valve control: Set the choice of filling stages to 1-stage. Assign the selected output to

control the filling stage.

c. Preset counter: Before starting a batch for the first time, a value must be entered for the

preset counter ( ä 23). Otherwise batching cannot commence. The preset counter
defines the quantity of medium which the Batch Controller RA33 batches as precisely
as possible. The last preset counter value to be used is stored in the device and applied
for new batching operations until the value is changed.

d. After-run correction: The first time the automatic after-run correction function of the

Batch Controller RA33 is used, the controller first has to learn what the after-run
quantity is. The after-run quantity is the volume of medium that still flows between the
time the control output switches to the time no more flow is recorded. The after-run
quantity thus depends on the switching delay and valve closing time. The batch
controller tries to correct the switch output by this amount to ensure that the batching
result is as accurate as possible.
To keep excess amounts to a minimum during these initial runs, it is advisable to enter
a value for the manual after-run quantity and to teach the device with smaller test
quantities as medium overflow can be expected.

Display variables:

Preset counter, batch counter, flow, daily, monthly and annual counters and totalizer for

6.3.1 Inputs

Flow pulse transmitter

The pulse input can process different current and voltage pulses. The software can switch to
different frequency ranges:

• Pulses and frequencies up to 12.5 kHz

• Pulses and frequencies up to 25 Hz (for bounce contacts, max. bounce time: 5 ms)

The input for voltage pulses and contact sensors is divided into different types according to
EN1434 and provides a supply for switching contacts.

Voltage pulses and transmitters

switching thresholds, small
currents)

Transmitters to Class ID and IE for
higher currents and power supplies

 1 V corresponds to Low level
 2 V corresponds to High level

U max 30 V, U no-load: 3 to 6 V

 1.2 mA corresponds to High level
 2.1 mA corresponds to Low level

U no-load: 7…9 V

Floating contacts, reed transmitters

For all signal types, the pulse value of the flow transmitter has to be entered.
The calculation of the current value for the volume flow is floating; therefore, it decreases
continuously with slow pulses. After 100 seconds or if the value is less than the low flow cut
off, the flow value becomes 0.
The batching and statistics counters are summed up from the individual pulse values. The
current flow can also be calculated from the counters so that it can be shown on the display.
The required flow unit must first be selected in the flow settings.

Flow current signal

For flow transmitters with current signal output, the flow measuring range is scaled in
Advanced setup ( ä 66).

Adjustment/calibration of the current input

To adjust the current inputs, a two-point calibration can be carried out in the Expert menu,
for example to correct the long-term drift of the analog input.

Low flow cut off

Volume flows below the configured low flow cut off value are evaluated as zero (not
measured on the counter). This is used to suppress measured values, for example at the
lower limit of the measuring range.

Temperature (optional)

To measure the temperature, RTD sensors can be connected directly or via transmitter (4 to
20 mA). For the direct connection, sensors of types PT 100/500/1000 can be used. For PT
100 sensors, users can choose from different measuring ranges for high and low
temperature differences to ensure maximum accuracy (menu Setup→Advanced
setup→Inputs→Temperature→Range).
The measuring range can be scaled individually if a current signal is used (menu
Setup→Advanced setup→Inputs→Temperature).
Refer also to Compensation,  ä 45.

Density (optional)

To measure the density, a density sensor can be connected to the current input marked
"Density" via 0/4 to 20 mA. In addition a fixed density value can be set. This is suitable for
media whose composition is known.
Refer also to Compensation,  ä 45.

Digital inputs

Two digital inputs are available: Depending on the options of the device, the following
functions can be controlled via the digital inputs:

Function Description

Batch active (high) A batch is started when there is a switch from low→high. It runs until either the

value on the preset counter is reached or the signal drops from high→low. An active
batch is aborted and ended if the signal drops. If the value on the preset counter is
reached and a new batch should start, a switch must first take place from high→low
so that another change from low→high can kickstart the new batch run.

Batch start (edge) A batch is started when the edge changes from low→high. The function has exactly

the same effect as pressing the button locally.

Batch stop (edge) A batch is paused when the edge changes from low→high and aborted and then

Reset batch no. The batch number, which is automatically increased, is reset to the start value

the signal drops to low, any batching operation that is currently active is stopped and
the device is locked so that it cannot restart. The device remains locked until there is
a high signal again, which indicates that the system is operational.

6.3.2 Outputs

Relay

The two relays can be switched to control the filling stages and to signal fault messages.
They can be assigned to the relevant filling stages of the batch under Setup → Advanced
setup → Application → Batch settings → Switches fill phase 1/2.

Endress+Hauser 35

Commissioning Batch Controller RA33

The service life of the relays is specified as 105 switching cycles at least. In the case
of intensive use, it is recommended to use the open collector outputs for batch
control.

Open collector outputs (optional)

The open collector outputs can be used as status and pulse outputs. If used as status outputs,
they serve to control the filling stages of the batch and to signal fault messages. Counters
and the signal to indicate the end of a batch can be output as pulses.

Universal output - current and active pulse output (optional)

The universal output can be used as a pulse output or analog output. It can output the volume
flow or the volume/mass counter.
Furthermore, the progress of the batch can be output in linear or curve form.

Batch progress
When the progress of the batch is displayed, the output value starts at 20 mA at the
beginning of the batch and moves down linearly until it reaches the lower limit of the current
output 0/4 mA at the end of the batch. The output's lower range limit is issued at the current
output if a batch is not active.

The current value at the output is 0/4 mA if batching has stopped. The output adopts the
current defined in "Current start value" directly after a batching operation starts. The current
value then moves upwards linearly and reaches the 20 mA current value at a percentage
value of the entire batch quantity, "Start max.", specified in Setup. The current value at the
current output then remains 20 mA until the percentage value of the batch quantity
specified in "Stop max." is reached. The current value is then adjusted downwards linearly to

6.3.3 Application

Batch settings

All batching and control-related settings for batching must be made in Batch settings.

Batch mode

The main setting for batching functionality is to select the batch mode. It consists of the
following modes: "Standard", "Automatic restart" and "Manual".

Function Description

Standard "Standard" mode: A value must be entered for the preset counter after

commissioning. This value is then used for all batch cycles until it is changed. The
value for the preset counter can be changed during an active batch or when batching
has stopped. This preset counter value is then used when the next new batch is
started.
A batch can be started via control output or by pressing a button. It continues until
the value on the preset counter is reached or if the batch is first paused by means of a
stop command (button or control input). From this paused state, the batch can either
be restarted by means of a start command or aborted entirely by means of another
stop command.

Automatic restart "Automatic restart" functions like Standard mode with one addition, however; a batch

sequence is started which is restarted after a configurable restart delay time. This
continues until the batch sequence is paused and ended.

Manual In manual mode, a preset counter is not required. The batch is started and stopped by

pressing a button on the device or via the control input.

Counting direction

The counting direction is another basic setting. It is only relevant for showing values on the
display and refers to the direction of counting in which the preset counter is displayed. The
options for selection are forwards, in which case a totalizer is displayed, or backwards,
whereby the remaining quantity of the current batch is displayed.

Filling stages

The device has options for 1-stage and 2-stage batching. The main valve is for the first stage.
It supplies a lower flow rate and is opened at the beginning of the batch. It is used for
precision dosing at the end of the batch. The second filling stage, with a higher flow rate, is
also opened after a specified delay time so that the required batching quantity is achieved
faster. This stage is closed when a remaining pre-stop quantity is reached. The delay time
and pre-stop quantity must also be specified in the batch settings.

Fixed and automatic after-run correction

It is recommended to use after-run correction due to system response times. The command
to close the valves is thus given earlier to compensate for the response time. This enables
maximum batching accuracy.
Fixed after-run correction value is the basis. A fixed value can be specified and flow is
stopped in advance by this value.
Automatic after-run correction can be enabled in addition to fixed. It calculates the new
correction value based on the actual measured error of the last batch runs. This ensures
precise batching results permanently.

To ensure that the after-run quantity is kept to a minimum during the first run even
if the automatic after-run correction function is activated (this function requires an
initial measurement), it is advisable to enter a measured value as the manual after­run correction value, or to teach the device gradually with a small test quantity.

Endress+Hauser 37

Commissioning Batch Controller RA33

Maximum preset counter

Inputting the maximum preset counter value permitted reduces the risk of incorrect entries.
During operation, if a preset counter value is entered that is greater than the maximum
permitted value, the batch is not started and a message is output.

Batch information

All parameters for displaying and identifying stored batches are saved in batch information.
Batches are identified by means of a user-defined name and a batch number, which is
automatically incremented after each batch cycle. The start value of the batch number can
also be preset as well as the current number reset to this value.

Display groups

Display settings

Under Application/Grouping in the Setup menu, select which process values are shown in
the display. For this purpose, 6 display groups are available. A group can be assigned up to
3 values. For a three-line display, the values are displayed in a smaller font size. A user­defined name can be assigned to each group (max. 10 characters). This name is displayed in
the header. When the device is delivered, the display groups are preconfigured according to
the following table.

Display mode

The display mode is selected in the Display/operation menu. You configure the brightness,
contrast and the switching mode of the display, i.e. whether switching between the display
groups takes place automatically or by pressing a button. In this menu, you can also call up
the current values for data recording (batch reports, day, month and annual counter and
totalizer) under "stored values". (For details, refer to Data logging,  ä 38)

No. of Sums/counter overflow

Counters are limited to max. 8 digits before the decimal point (for counters that require
signs, to 7 characters). If the counter reading exceeds this value (overflows), it is reset to
zero. The number of overflows for each counter is recorded on overflow counters. A counter
overflow is shown on the display with the "^" icon. The number of overflows can be called up
in the Display/operat. → Stored values menu.

Units

The units for scaling and displaying the process variables are configured in the respective
submenus (e.g. the unit for displaying the temperature is configured under Inputs/
Temperature). To make device setting easier, the unit system is selected at the beginning of
device commissioning.

•EU: SI units

• USA: imperial units

This setting sets the units in the individual submenus to a certain value (default), e.g. SI: m³/
h, °C, kWh. If a unit is converted subsequently, no automatic conversion of the associated
(scaled) value takes place! Conversion of the units,  ä 81.

6.3.4 Data logging

The device stores relevant measured values and counter data at defined times.
Daily, monthly and annually, an analysis is stored with the number of batch cycles, error-free
batch cycles and batched volume for this time period.

38 Endress+Hauser

Batch Controller RA33 Commissioning

The individual batch cycles are stored with the following details: date, time, batch name,
batch number, preset counter and volume counter. The device provides permanently reliable
data logging, which guarantees the security of data even after a power failure.
Current day, monthly and annual counters can be called up in the Display/operat → Stored
values menu. In addition the totalizer and the counter for the current batch can be shown as
a display value (can be allocated to a display group). The entire data archive, i.e. all stored
values, can be read out using the "Field Data Manager Software" only. Specifically, the
following data are stored in the device:

Analysis Calculation

Batch • Date, time

Daily, monthly and annual analysis • Volume counter for the time period

•Batch name

•Batch number

• Preset counter

• Volume counter

•Number of batches completed

• Number of error-free batches completed

General notes for data logging

The time of data logging (start time of the logging intervals) can be configured and/or
synchronized via the time of day.
The current counter can be reset to zero via setup. The archived values (completed
evaluations) can no longer be changed! To clear these out, the entire measured value
memory must be deleted.

Storage capacity

The device should be read out regularly using the "Field Data Manager Software" to ensure
seamless data logging. Depending on the storage depth, the counters are overwritten after
a certain time, see the table below.

Data Number

Batches Min. 1000

Events Min. 1500 (with an average of

40 characters)

Statistics day/month/year Min. 800/750/50

6.3.5 Access protection

The device can be locked to protect it against tampering by means of a user code or device
hardware switch ( ä 23).

Protection using code

The entire local operation can be protected by a 4-digit code (default is 0000, i.e. no
protection). If the device is not operated for 600s, it is locked again automatically.
It is still possible to enter a value for the preset counter.

6.3.6 Logbooks

Changes to the setup are recorded in entries in the event logbook.

Event logbook

The event logbook stores events such as alarms, setup changes etc. with date and time. The
memory is sufficient for at least 1600 messages (however, depending on the text length, it

Endress+Hauser 39

Commissioning Batch Controller RA33

is possible for more messages to be stored). If the memory is full, the oldest messages are
overwritten. The logbook can be read out via the FDM data management software or on the
device. To exit the logbook quickly, press the +/- keys simultaneously.

6.3.7 Communication/fieldbuses

General notes

The device has (optional) fieldbus interfaces for reading out all process values. Values can be
written to the device only as part of configuration of the device (via FieldCare operating
software and USB or Ethernet interface) only. Process values such as flow cannot be
transmitted to the device via the bus interfaces.
Batch commands can be sent to the device via Modbus, for details, refer to "Modbus RTU".
Depending on the bus system, alarms or faults are displayed as part of data transmission
(e.g. status byte).
The process values are transmitted in the units that are also used for display on the device.
Only the counter readings of the most recently completed storage period (day, month, year)
can be read out of the memory.
For large counter readings, the places after the decimal point are truncated (e.g.

1234567.1234 → 1234567 or 234567.1234 → 234567.1).

The device can be read out via the following interfaces.

• Modbus RTU

• Ethernet/Modbus TCP

Modbus RTU/(TCP/IP)

The device can be connected to a Modbus system via RS485 or Ethernet interface. The
general settings for the Ethernet connection are made in the Setup / Advanced setup /
System / Ethernet menu or Expert / System / Ethernet menu,  ä 42. Modbus
communication is configured in Setup / Advanced setup / System / ModBus or Expert /
System / Modbus.

Transmission of values

The actual Modbus TCP protocol is between Layers 5 and 6 in the ISO/OSI Model.
To transmit a value, 3 registers of 2 bytes each are used (2 bytes status + 4-byte float). In the
setup, you can configure which register is to be written with which value. The most
important/most common values are already preconfigured.

Register 000 Status of first measured value (16-bit integer, high byte first)
Register 001 to 002 First measured value (32-bit float, high byte first)

Validity and limit value information are encoded in the status byte.

Just as in the display, you can switch between the display groups in the Web server. The
measured values are updated automatically (direct via "link": off/5s/15s/30s/60s). In
addition to the measured values, status/limit value flags are also displayed.
The data can be read out via the Webserver in HTML or XML format.
When using an Internet browser, it suffices to enter the address http://<IP address> to
display the information as HTML in the browser. In addition, two versions of the XML format
are available. These versions can be integrated into additional systems as required. The two
XML versions contain all the measured values which are assigned to any group.

The decimal separator is always displayed as a period in the XML file. All times are
given in UTC. The time difference is indicated in minutes in the subsequent entry.

Version 1:

The XML file is available in ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1) encoding at the address http://<IP
address>/index.xml (alternatively: http://<IP address>/xml). However, this encoding
cannot display some special characters such as the sum sign. Strings such as digital status
information are not transmitted.

• Batch printout  ä 46

6.4.1 Compensation

Measured volumes can be corrected or converted to mass, or measured mass can be
converted to volume, using the additional compensation function. Depending on the type of
compensation, temperature and density sensors are required for this purpose.
The use of the temperature and density inputs is shown in the table below using the
measured product group (mineral oils or other) as are the expected results.

Density sensor

Volume correction via temperature measurement and/or density measurement is
possible for both product groups. The advantage of an additional density
measurement is that the system reacts to fluctuations in the medium independently.
If the correction is based on temperature measurement alone, the density value of
the medium must be checked at reference operating conditions where necessary and
adjusted.

Product group

The choice of product group determines the calculation standard at the same time. In the
case of user-defined media, a volume can be corrected or converted to mass using other
parameters. The volume is corrected in accordance with the API MPMS (Chapter 11)
standard for the following mineral oil product groups: crude oil, refined products and
lubricating oils.

Reference data

The reference condition specifies the ambient conditions at which the correction must be
calculated. The options available for selection are 15 °C, 20 °C or 60 °F.
The value that must be entered in the reference density parameter is the density of the
medium under the selected reference operating conditions. When using the density unit API°
and Gravity (G), 60 °F is automatically selected as the reference condition.
An expansion coefficient must be specified depending on the calculation and if density
measurement does not take place. It must be entered in the unit 1/°C or 1/°F depending on
the reference conditions. According to this, a reference condition in °C gives rise to an
expansion coefficient also in 1/°C. In this case, the expansion coefficient is a factor by which

Endress+Hauser 45

Maintenance Batch Controller RA33

the volume increases if the temperature of the medium is one degree higher than the
reference condition.

Pressure specifications

The pressure must be taken into account for a complete correction of the volume. The
relative pressure, in relation to the ambient pressure at which the flow of the medium is
measured, must be entered in Setup. Direct measurement is not required as the influence of
pressure is relatively low. Entering the approximate pressure is adequate for the level of
accuracy required. Pressure compensation can be disabled by entering a value of 0 for
pressure.

9 Troubleshooting

9.1 Instrument diagnostics and troubleshooting

The Diagnostics menu is used to analyze the device functions and offers comprehensive help
for troubleshooting. To find the causes for device errors or alarm messages, follow these
basic procedures.

General procedure for troubleshooting

1. Open diagnosis list: Lists the 10 most recent diagnostic messages. From this, you can
tell which errors/faults are currently pending or if one of them has occurred multiple
times.

2. Open measured value display diagnostics: Verify the input signals by displaying the raw
values (mA, Hz, Ohm) or the scaled measuring ranges. To verify calculations, call up
calculated auxiliary variables if necessary.

3. Steps 1 and 2 remedy most causes of errors. If the error persists, observe the
troubleshooting instructions for the error types from Chapter 9.2 of the Operating
Instructions.

4. If this is not successful, contact service. For service inquiries, please always have the
error number and the information from the Device information/ENP (program name,
Serial Number etc.) available.

10.0.5 Performance characteristics

Reference operating conditions

• Power supply 230 V AC ± 10%; 50 Hz ± 0.5 Hz

• Warm-up period > 2 h

• Ambient temperature 25 °C ± 5 K (77 °F ± 9 °F)

• Humidity 39% ± 10% rH.

Arithmetic unit

The system has a calculation cycle of 125 ms. The amount of medium that flows in the
specified reaction times is reliably measured by the batch Controller but can deviate by this
amount from the preset fill quantity. Using the after-run correction function or reducing the
flow for 1-stage batching increases the accuracy of the quantity transferred. The use of two
batching stages allows for batching that is both fast and precise.
