IBC Batch Controller

The IBC Batch Controller is a 120/240VAC or 12-40VDC powered batch controller for liquids that incorporates an eight (8) digit 14.2mm LED (light emitting diode) display. The instrument can be configured from the front touch buttons to batch volumes from 0.001 to 999,999 litres and K factors from 999,999 to 0.01 can be utilised. The instrument can batch in up or down mode and provide the excitation power supply for the flow sensor.

Display

The IBC incorporates an eight (8) digit 14.2mm digit height high contrast (LED) display with a wide viewing angle and a viewing distance of 5 metres.

Totaliser Memory

The instrument incorporates a background running total that is stored in eeprom memory during loss of power. This total can be displayed by the front total touch button and reset by a normally open push button between terminals 1 and 7.

Low flow alarm

The instrument incorporates a low flow alarm. If no input pulses are received in a pre- programmed period the low flow output becomes active and the batch is cancelled and LF ERR is displayed.

Environmental Parameters
  • 0-70 degrees Celsius and 0-90% RH non-condensing.
  • Front facia is weatherproof to IP65.
  • Optional clear weatherproof boot to give panel protection to IP67.

Power Supply
  • 85 to 265VAC 47-63 Hz or DC to DC converter isolator from 12 to 40VDC. An adjustable transducer power supply of 8 to 20VDC at 30mA is incorporated in the instrument.
Mounting Details
  • Panel mounting extruded aluminium enclosure of case dimensions 144 mm wide by 72 mm high by 85 mm deep with a panel cut out of 139 mm wide by 66 mm high.
Batcher Operation
  • The batch size is set in from the front panel. Pressing the start button will energise output relay one and start liquid flow. Relay two will energise after its start value is exceeded. The display will increment in value as the batch progresses to the finish starting the end of batch output. The batch can be halted at any time with the stop button and restarted with the resume button which will cause the batch to continue from where it stopped; but not reset the batch counter.
