9. 5600 Operation Modes

This section gives a detailed description of the 5600's simple and advanced operation modes (sec. 14) and how they affect the batch con­tact, End of batch/totalizer output, option contact, and current output.

9.1 Simple Operation Mode

• Batch Contact (sec. 4): In simple mode, the batch contact is dedicated for on/off control. It is energized at the start of a batch and
de-energized at the end of a batch. It also de-energizes when STOP is selected from the front keypad or initiated by a remote contact
closure to the rear STOP terminals (sec. 5). A RESUME command can also be initiated by either method to complete the batch. The
front panel batch indicator turns on when the batch contact is energized.

• Counter/End of Batch Pulse Output (sec. 6): In simple mode, the output is confi gured as a counter pulse output. The output emits a
130 millisecond pulse for each engineering (total) unit measured. The output is a open collector type which requires an external pull up
resistor and power supply for external counter use (sec. 6).

• Option Contact - Missing Signal Alarm (sec. 7B): This function provides alarm capability if fl ow is not detected in 30 seconds after
a batch cycle starts. If the fl ow sensor signal is missing, the option contact energizes and the front panel
contact indicator turns on, signaling the missing sensor signal. The batch contact also
de-energizes, closing the fl ow control valve and stopping the batch. The alarm condition will remain until the
front panel ENTER key is pressed or a remote contact closure is made to the rear STOP terminal (sec. 5).

• Current Output - Batch Completion (sec. 8A): This function is offered in the simple or advanced opera­tion mode. The output is a linear increase from 4 mA at batch start to 20 mA at batch end.

9.2 Advanced Operation Mode

• Batch Contact (sec. 4): The batch contact is dedicated for on/off control and is either manually or auto-

matically
compensated for batch overrun. Manual overrun compensation allows the operator to compensate for valve closure time in a batching

based on the additional sensor pulses, then automatically reduces the next batch size for the next batch. During the next batch cycle, the
batch contact de-energizes early, thus closing the fl ow control valve early and eliminating batch overrun.

system. The operator is prompted to enter a batch volume that de-energizes the batch contact early, compensating
for valve closing time and eliminating batch overrun. Automatic overrun compensation counts sensor pulses during

the batch cycle, and any excess pulses after the batch stops. The instrument calculates the estimated batch overrun

• Counter/End of Batch Pulse Output (sec. 6): In advanced mode, the output can
be confi gured as either a counter pulse output (sec. 9.1) or as an end of batch pulse

output. When confi gured as an end of batch pulse, the output emits a 500 millisecond
pulse at the completion of every batch. The output is a open collector type which requires an external pull
up resistor and power supply for external counter use (sec. 6).

Option Contact:
Overrun Alarm

• Option Contact - Two Stage Shutdown (sec. 7A): This function is designed to pre-

vent over fi lling or to minimize water hammer. Both the batch and the option contact

are energized when the batch starts. The option contact then de-energizes at
a programmed batch percentage, forcing fl ow through a smaller bypass line to reduce the fi ll rate. After
the entire batch is measured, the batch contact de-energizes, completing the sequence. Front keypad
and remote START, STOP, and RESUME inputs (sec. 5) also control the option contact. The front panel
contact indicator turns on when the option contact is energized.

Option Contact:
End of Batch

• Option Contact - Overrun Alarm (sec. 7B): This function provides overrun alarm
capability for detecting a leaky or stuck valve. If the programmed batch overrun

volume is measured after the batch ends, the option contact is energized and the front
panel contact indicator turns on, alarming the operator that the fl ow shut off valve is leaking or stuck open.
To cancel alarm, press the ENTER key (or remote STOP switch) once. The overrun alarm will retrigger if
the condition persists.

Option Contact:
Missing Signal

• Option Contact - End of Batch Pulse (sec. 7C): This function is designed to trigger an external batch counter or
second 5600 Batch Controller at the end of a batch. The option contact is energized for 500 milliseconds at the end
of every batch cycle. An external power supply switched through the option contact's common (COM) and normally

open (NO) terminal provides a pulse for triggering these devices.

Option Contact:
Off

• Option Contact - Missing Signal Alarm (sec. 7B): The missing signal alarm represents a missing sensor signal

after batch start-up. An adjustable time delay entry (in seconds) is offered which specifi es how long the instrument

will wait after batch start-up before initiating the missing signal alarm. See simple operation mode (sec. 9.1) for alarm

operation details.

• Option Contact On/Off (sec. 10.4H): This function enables or disables the option contact and front panel option
LED. When the option contact is confi gured "Off", the option contact and front panel LED are disabled.

• Missing Signal Alarm On/Off (sec. 10.4H):
Missing signal alarm is always enabled (factory default sec. 9.1) even if the option contact is selected to be a different
function. This function is designed to completely disable the missing signal alarm, if desired. NOTE: If disabled, the
batch contact is NOT affected and will NOT signal the operator or stop the running batch if there is a problem.

Current Output:
Valve Control

Current Output:
End of Batch

• Current Output - Batch Completion (sec. 8A): In advanced mode, the current
output functions identical to the simple operation mode. See the simple operation mode
explanation above.

• Current Output - Valve Control (sec. 8B): This function is designed for use with a George Fischer electric actua­tor with PE 22P positioner for preventing overfl ow or minimizing water hammer. When a batch starts, the current

output is held at 20 mA, forcing the PE 22P positioner to the full open valve position.
Near batch end, the output gradually ramps downward to slow the fl owrate, then drops to 4 mA closing the
valve and ending the batch. Front keypad and remote START, STOP, and RESUME inputs also control
the output (sec. 5). A STOP command any time during a batch sequence will force the output to 4 mA and
close the PE 22P positioner. (Note: for optimum performance, the batch process should last at least 1
minute!)

10.3 Auto Calibration Procedure

The auto calibrate procedure (sec. 10.2C) calculates a custom fl ow sensor/batch K-Factor based on volumetric measurement for more
precise batching. This process will compensate for installation abnormalities or nonstandard pipe sizes for maximum batch accuracy. An
accurate measurement reference container (e.g. known tank volume) is required for this procedure. If auto calibration is impractical for
your batch system, perform manual calibration using the K-Factors published in your fl ow sensor manual.

Requirements:

A. The fl ow sensor must be installed in the actual batch pipeline.
B. The fl ow control valve can be connected to the common (C)
and normally open (NO) batch contact terminals (sec. 4) or
the current output terminals (sec. 8B).
C. Either the batch contact or current output MUST be used to
energize and de-energize the main fl ow control valve which
starts and stops fl uid fl ow into the known reference container.
D. Follow the steps outlined in the auto calibration procedure
(sec.10.2C) to obtain your batch system's custom K-Factor.

WARNING!

The auto calibration procedure generates a custom batch K-Factor. The batch and Totalizer K-Factors are independent from
one another. ALWAYS reenter your totalizer K-Factor after performing the auto calibration procedure.
