2 General description of MC100

2.1 Overview

MC100 is a pump control module for controlling up to 16 WMF Pumps. The basic function is

• to receive filling data from the filling line control system through an industrial fieldbus

• based on data received from the filling line control system to calculate operating values for the

pumps

• to transmit data to the pumps connected to the MC 100 via FlexNet

• to receive data from the pumps connected to the MC 100 via FlexNet

• to transmit the pump data to the filling line control system

MC100 constitutes together with WMF pumps a filling system designed for incorporation into a larger filling line as described below.

2.2 Introduction & design purpose

The MC100 is a small module for mounting inside the control cabinet of the filling line. It is designed with the purpose of integrating Watson-Marlow Flexicon pumps into a filling line.

2.2.1 How it works / Technical description of operation

Via the fieldbus the MC100 receives operating data from and sending data to the control system for the filling line. The data are divided in three types:

• General data for the pump system

• Set-up data for each pump

• Operation data for each pump

The MC100 sets up the pump system according to the data received from the control system for the filling line. All control and status signals for the individual pumps connected to the MC100 are sent to the MC100 via the fieldbus. The dispensing can also be controlled via hardwired signals. Please see the manual for the pumps for more details regarding the hardwired signals.

MC100

The MC100 cannot store data such as recipes and historical data. These data must be stores in the control system for the filling line and be transmitted to the pump system when needed.

2.3 Flexicon pumps used in multi-filling system, short description.

The Watson Marlow Flexicon multi filling system consists of up to 16 filling dispensers (pumps) connected via a fieldbus to a MC controller. The dispensers can be peristaltic dispenser pumps (PD12 and PD22) and gear dispenser pumps (GD30). The MC controller can be either a MC12 controller with integrated keyboard and display to enter data and control the dispensing or MC100 for integration in control systems. This manual describes the MC100 controller.

The pumps are used for dispensing accurate doses of liquid into vials. For this purpose there are a number of parameters, which are used to control the pump:

Speed: The range for the dispensing speed is 30 to 600 rpm depending on the pump

and the tube selected

Acceleration: The range is 1 to 200 rpm/s depending on the pump and the tube selected.

Reverse (back sucking): Is a figure between 1 and 10 defining a short reverse pumping to prevent

dripping after the dispensing.

Tube: The pumps hold a tube table of up to 10 tubes, which can be read from the

pumps. The tubes are depending on the pump type. Thus the pump table can be down loaded from the pump software via the MC100.

Volume: The volume the pump has to dispense at each filling. Please also see serial

and parallel mode below.

Density: The density [g/cm3] for the product to be filled. Used when calculating the

calibration value.

Calibration: The net weight filled during dispensing. When a new volume is defined for a

pump it will dispense approximately 70 – 80% of this volume until calibrated.

The calibration is normally done by tare weighing a vial, filling it and weighing

it again to calculate the net filling weight. The net weight filled is sent to the MC100. The MC 100 then calculates the dispensing data and sends it to the pump in question.

Please see the manual for the pump for further details.

When more than 1 pump is connected to the MC100, it is possible to operate the filling system (MC 100 with pumps) in 3 different operating modes: Individual, parallel and serial mode.

Individual mode: All the different types of WM-Flexicon pumps can be connected and run

Parallel mode: This mode requires that all enabled pump are of the same type, i.e. all

Different pump types can be connected to the MC 100, but only pumps of

2.4 How to operate the dispenser pumps

Before a new filling is started the parameters for this filling is loaded to the pumps from the filling system. The data are loaded to the pumps either individually or as common data depending on the operating mode – please see above. Initially the pumps need to be primed – i.e. the product has to be filled into the tubes and nozzles of the filling system. Hereafter the pumps must be calibrated. For details of priming and calibrating please see the manual for the pumps attached. During production a regularly re-calibration may be necessary – e.g. for each 1.000 filling depending on the product to be filled. This can be done “on the fly”. For details on how to send and receive data from the MC100 please see section 7.

be calibrated individually.

PD12; all PD22 or all GD30.

the same type can be enabled and operated together in parallel mode. All pump data, except tube sizes, are stored in the virtual pump (pump no.

0). The filling volume is divided to the pumps based on the tube sizes. Calibration for all the pumps is done by calibrating the virtual pump 0.

2.5 Communication on the Profibus

The communication between the MC100 and the PLC system for the filling line runs continuously. Changes in status of the pumps and commands to the MC100 and attached pumps are communicated when required. To send new data to the MC100 and the attached pumps the data are sent using a 23 data words telegram. The details of this telegram are described in section 7.

6 Configuring the fieldbus network to the MC100

6.1 Connecting the MC100 and the pumps for the first time

Make sure all pumps have been giving a unique address and all the pumps have been powered up. The FlexNet is connected to the MC100 and to the pumps in a multidrop network.

Connect SubD connector X3 to a PC using a NULL-modem cable. Start a terminal program on the PC for example HyperTerminal. Set the communication-parameters to: 9600 baud, 8 bits, even parity and 1 stop-bit.

When applying power to the MC100, it will identify itself by printing the line:

“ MC100 MFSC Ver. x.yy.” (x.yy is the current version)

The MC100 will then try to identify all connected pumps on the Flexnet; the LED indicator X1 will flicker and finally be steady green.

If for example 4 pumps holding address 1, 2, 3 and 4 are detected, the following line will be shown:

“Pumps: 1 2 3 4 1 4 4”

In this example pumps numbered 1-4 are detected, lowest number is 1 and highest number is 4 and there are 4 pumps connected.

If the 2nd line is not printed and the MC12 has an alarm indication: AL01 or AL02 flashing, it must be investigated if the FlexNet is correctly wired.

If everything is OK you continue to configure the Profibus master according to the guidelines from HMS, please see below.

6.2 Configuring to the Profibus DP network

The description how to configure the MC100 for Profibus DP-V1 using Siemens Step7 PLC is described in the HMS document PROFIBUS_Slave_Step7_2.1.pdf. You find this document on the CD supplied with the MC100. The newest version of the document can be downloaded from

http://www.hms.se/products/products.asp?PID=321&ProductType=Anybus-CompactCom

7 Operating the MC100

7.1 Process Data Exchange (Cyclic data)

Due to limitations in the Profibus structure the data for the MC100 and the attached pumps are multiplexed as described below.

Data are sent to and from the MC100 on a cyclic basis in a data package of 23 data word (each of 2 bytes). The MC100 acknowledge by returning a package of 23 data words. The communications runs continuously – i.e. also if no parameters are changed.

In parallel mode the common data are:

• Volume

• Pump speed

• Acceleration

• Tube size

• Density

generated a warning 10 and the parameters are discarded. Please note that in parallel mode the calibration is NOT a common data. The pumps will still have to be calibrated individually to cope with differences in the tubes, positioning of the tubes in the pump head – etc. The MC100 will take care of sending the parameters from pump 0 to all the connected enabled pumps. If pumps of different types are not disabled in parallel/serial mode before changing to serial mode Alarm 08 is generated.

Serial mode Serial mode requires that all pumps not disabled are of the same

type, i.e. PD12 or PD22 or GD30. In serial mode the virtual pump 0 is used to hold common parameters for all the enabled pumps. In serial mode the common data are:

• Volume

• Pump speed

• Acceleration

• Density

• Calibration

Please note that in serial mode the tube size is NOT a common data. When parameters are sent to the MC100 in serial mode the MC100 takes all parameters EXCEPT tube-size when sent to pump 0 and ONLY the tube size when sent to a pump number different from 0.

In serial mode the filling volume is divided to the enabled pumps based on the individual tube sizes. The MC100 do a calculation, so the distance the pumps runs are the same independent of the tube size. I.e. if the tube sizes are different in the enabled pumps the filling volumes from these pumps will also be different. If the enabled pumps are using the same tube size the filling volume will be divided equally between the pumps. Calibrations for

all the pumps are carried out by calibrating pump 0. If pumps of different types are not disabled in parallel/serial mode before changing to serial mode Alarm 08 is generated.

If operation mode 0 is selected nothing will be changed in the

setup.

7.2 Operation Parameters/Parameter specifications

The section describes parameter exchange between MC100 and PLC5

7.2.1 List of basic parameters

Parameter Description Data type Range Default DW

1 Volume Double integer 1000-999990000 10000000 12-13 2 Tube Integer 1-10 6 14 3 Speed Integer 30-600 100 15 4 Acceleration Integer 1-200 10 16 5 Reverse Integer 0-5 0 17 6 Density Double integer 50000 – 200000 100000 18-19 7 Calibration value Double integer 50 –200 % of Volume

Please note that to allow the MC100 to be used with PLC’s without capability to use floating point data the values in parameter 1, 6 and 7 (volume, density and calibration) is converted into double integer values. The MC100 will handle the double integer as a floating point value with a fixed decimal point with 5 decimals. As a consequence of the above the PLC program must multiply the values for volume, density and calibration by 100.000 before sending the value to the MC100. Examples: Floating point value 123.45678 must be send to the MC100 as 12345678 Floating point value 1.2 must be send to the MC100 as 120000

The parameters above are: Volume The volume to be dispensed at each filling. Please note that to avoid

overfilling the first dispense (before calibrating) will be approximately 80% of the requested filling.

Tube The tube number (1 to 10) used selected from the tube table. The tube table

is specific for the pump type and can be downloaded from the pump controller (please see next section). The tube table for each pump type is found in appendix 2 in this manual.

Speed The revolutions per minute of the pump. If the product is foaming the

revolutions may have to be lowered. The speed range is 30 to 600; however, the upper value is dependent on the pump type and the selected tube size. Please see the details in appendix 2.

Acceleration A number indicating the ramp up and down when starting/stopping the

dispensing. The range is 1 to 200 rpm/s. The upper value is dependent on the pump type and the selected tube size.

Reverse A number indicating the reversing of the pump after dispensing to avoid

dripping of the product between dispensing. The reverse is a number in the range 0 to 10. The physical reversing is dependent on the pump type. For a PD12 the value 10 gives ¼ reverse rotation where for a PD22 the value 10 gives a full reverse rotation.

Density The density of the product to use when calibrating. When calibrating the

weight of the filled amount of the product is entered. If the product has a density other than 1 the MC100 has to take that into the calculation of the pump data for filling to convert to volume. The density must be in the range 0,5 to 2,0 g/cm

Calibration value The weight of the product in g filled (found by subtracting the weight of the vial

from the total weight of the filled vial). When receiving the weight MC100 calculates new pump parameters for the actual pump and send it to the pump controller. The pump will use the new setting from the first dispensing after having received the new data. If the volume is changed the calibration is reset. To avoid overfilling the fillings after entering a new volume will be approximately 70 – 80% of the requested filling volume. Hereafter a new calibration must be made. Please note that if the calibration value is outside the limits (below 50% or above 200% of the volume) a warning is generated and the calibration value is ignored. When transmitting and receiving the value for calibration please note the conversion to integer as described above.

Please consult the manual for the actual pump type for a more detailed description of the parameters.

. Please note the conversion to integer as described above.

9 Trouble shooting

9.1 Trouble-shooting

Different kind of problems can cause machine stop, errors etc. Most trouble-shooting will be based on the information from the front plate indicators and display and the Alarm list information (see 8.1.1)

Examples:

Problem: Display is flashing AL / 01 when applying power to the module, indication that the MC100

cannot find any pumps connected.

Solution: First check if power is applied to the pump(s) and they are ON, then check cabling and

connectors for faults.

To check if problem has been solved, it’s necessary to turn power OFF and ON again

Problem: Display is flashing AL / 03 when applying power to the module.

Solution: First check if all the pump(s) has power applied and are indicating power ON.

If this is OK, then the MC100 has stored a different configuration and must be reconfigured using the factory default configuration. Make a factory reset to default by following the steps below:

1. Locate the dipswitches on the right side of the cabinet, turn dipswitch 8 ON.

2. Turn power ON to the module, which now starts up with the Alarm, but shortly after starts the reset sequence and starts up again without the alarm 03.

3. Turn power OFF and turn dipswitch 8 back to OFF.

4. Turn power ON again and confirm that the alarm is still removed.

Alternative: Use the Node address switch to do a factory reset. see section 5.1

Problem: Display is shoving “S.2.”. As a follow up on the configuration problem above, this will be

the display, when the master/scanner has a different configuration of the number of cyclic bytes.

Solution: 1. If this is the initial configuration, please use section 6. Configuring the fieldbus

network to the MC100 and the supplied documentation and files on the CD-rom to

setup the network.

2. If this situation occurs after the system has been running normally, but after a factory reset, focus must be moved to the pumps, where probably one or more pumps is not communicating on the FlexNet. Use the description in 6.1 Connecting the MC100 and the pumps for the first time, to control the number of pumps that are detected on the FlexNet. When the problem is solved and the correct pumps corresponding to the correct configuration is verified, it will be necessary to do a factory reset again.

WEEE stands for: ”Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment” and the term is used commonly throughout the EU for waste from electrical and electronic equipment (EEE).

The WEEE Directive stipulates common EU regulations on treatment of WEEE. The rules are based on consideration for the environment, and they aim at limiting the amount of WEEE we have to dispose of. The objective is, on the one hand, to encourage producers to manufacture environmentally friendly products, and, on the other, to increase reuse, recycling and other forms of recovery.

The WEEE rules provide for producer responsibility, which means that producers and importers of electrical products must organise and finance take-back and treatment of WEEE, and report information to a producer register.

Operating modes for MC100

(1) Individual Individual filling means that each Pump has its own operating parameters and that fills, calibration and pumping will not be synchronized with any other connected Pump. In theory, this means that the MC12 can control up to 16 Pumps concurrently. Calibration is carried out by first selecting the pump number via MC100 control bits as in Individual Mode and then sending the calibration value through the use of DW10 and DW20-21.

The parameters are sent to the individual Pump number after setting the pump number by the MC100 control bits.

(2) Parallel Parallel filling is used in a multi-head filling system in which a number of bottles are changed in each cycle and filled at the same time. This gives a very high capacity. The number of Pumps and the number of bottles changed at each cycle should be identical.

If more Pumps are connected to the MC100, they can, if they are of the same type, work synchronously with the same set of parameters. In parallel mode, only parameters in Pump 0 will be used i.e. all Pumps use same volume, tube size, speed, etc. Calibration must be carried out for the individual Pumps, by first selecting the pump number via MC100 control bits as in Individual Mode and then sending the calibration value through the use of DW20-21

(3) Serial Serial filling is used to boost the overall capacity in a semi or fully automated system by using each Pump to fill part of the total volume.

Similar to parallel filling, Pump 0 is used for setting parameters for all connected pumps, with the exception of Function 2 for tube diameter.

For setting tube diameter, select the Pump number by the MC100 control bits as in Individual Mode and then send the tube number using DW10 and DW14. In this way, the last Pump may for instance fill a smaller part of the total volume than the other Pumps in the system. This is done by applying a smaller tube in the last Pump.

When all Pumps have been programmed, the MC100 will automatically calculate which part of the total volume the individual Pumps should fill, so that they are completed simultaneously. This gives the best capacity.

Calibration is also carried out in Pump 0, as the system perceives the whole system as one single Pump. I.e. selecting pump number 0 via MC100 control bits as in Individual Mode and then sending the calibration value through the use of DW10 and DW20-21 (see example in section.
