7.4.2 Filling control options
The filling control options are used to define the fill process. Filling control options are listed and
defined in Table 7-3.
Table 7-2 Flow sources
Flow source Default Description
None Fill controller is disabled.
Mass flow rate ✓ Mass flow process variable as measured by transmitter
Volume flow rate Volume flow process variable as measured by transmitter
Table 7-3 Filling control options
Control option Default Description
Enable Filling
Option
Enabled If enabled, the filling application is available for use.
If disabled, the filling application is not available for use. However, it is still
installed on the transmitter.
Count Up Enabled Controls how the fill total is calculated and displayed:
• If enabled, fill totals increase from zero to the target value.
• If disabled, fill totals decrease from the target value to zero.
Does not affect fill configuration.
Enable AOC Enabled Automatic Overshoot Compensation (AOC) instructs the fill controller to
compensate for the time required to close the valve, using the calculated AOC
coefficient. See Section 7.5 for overshoot compensation options.
Enable Purge Disabled If enabled, the secondary valve is used for purging. See Section 7.3.1.
Fill Type One Stage
Discrete
Specify One Stage Discrete, Two Stage Discrete, or Three Position Analog. See
Section 7.3.
If Purge is enabled, you may not specify Two Stage Discrete. See Section 7.3.1.
Configure By % Target Select % Target or Quantity.
• If set to % Target, Open Primary, Open Secondary, Close Primary, and Close
Secondary values are configured as a percentage of the fill target.
• If set to Quantity, Open Primary and Open Secondary are each configured as
a quantity at which the valve should open; Close Primary and Close
Secondary are configured as a quantity that is subtracted from the target.
Fill Target 0.00000 g Enter the value at which the fill will be complete.
• If Mass Flow Rate was specified for flow source, enter the value in the current
measurement unit for mass. This unit is derived from the mass flow
measurement unit (see Section 4.4.1).
• If Volume Flow Rate was specified for flow source, enter the value in the
current measurement unit for volume. This unit is derived from the volume flow
measurement unit (see Section 4.4.2).
Max Fill Time 0.00000 sec Enter a value of 0.00000 or any positive number (in seconds). There is no upper
limit. If the fill does not reach the target before this time has elapsed, the fill is
aborted and fill timeout error messages are posted.
If Max Fill Time is set to 0, it is disabled.
Purge Mode Manual Select the purge control method:
• Auto: A purge cycle occurs automatically after every fill, as defined by the
Purge Delay and Purge Time parameters.
• Manual: Purge must be started and stopped using the buttons on the Run
Filler window.
Purge must be enabled before Purge Mode can be configured.
Purge Delay 2.00000 sec Used only if Purge Mode is set to Auto.
Enter the number of seconds that will elapse after a fill is complete before the
purge will begin. At this point, the purge (secondary) valve will be opened
automatically.
