Controllers & Indictors for Filling System

ZFoffers a variety of controllers and indicators that meet your Batching Application from a simple filling system to the complex batching systems.

The 2100 Indicator

The 2100 series indicators feature a large LCD display in a compact slim line housing. The 2100 combines a practical set of applications, including filling and check weighing, with a range of power and mounting options.

Built in application support

• Single material, two speed filling;
• Check weighing - low, pass and high;
• Basic printing with built in clock calendar;

Three input/outputs standard:(3) control points can be configured independently as either inputs or outputs.
Programmable function key: Batch control, Parts counting, Unit switching, Hold and peak hold, Live weight and Total
Serial Output: The RS232 serial output is provided standard for use with a remote display, printer or connection back to a PC.
Multiple housing options, available standard as panel mount or optionally with a stainless steel housing if a desk mounted IP65 solution is required.
Only 22mm (0.9in) deep, mounts directly on a surface with small cut outs only required for cabling to pass through.

R40x-K410 Filling Indicator

The K410 is a single material filling application used for dosing, bagging and silo discharge.

Easy setup:The K410 uses three set batching stages: fill, dump and a finish stage. The defined I/O simplifies setup - defining the fill outputs, interlocks and enables that would generally be used on filling systems.

Negative batching is supported by setting the fill direction which defines if the weight is increasing or decreasing while batching - ideal for discharge and dosing applications.

Batch Suspend can be allocated to a function key - the batch will pause and adjust the tare weight when resuming the batch. for when a material feeding the batch needs to be topped up during the batch without affecting the batched amount, or when feeding from multiple bulker bags etc.

Timer based multiple batching uses the Real Time Clock to control the batch start time and the duration between repeat batches - ideal for bio-fuel applications.
When using timer based batching, the current weight is displayed along with the time to go before the next batch, keeping the operator informed.

R40x-K411 Filling Indicator

The K411 provides a powerful and flexible batching controller - suitable for applications ranging from multi-head batching machines to bio gas.

Detailed reporting with material usage and batch statistics, along with QA records of every batch run possible when combined with the data logger;

Batching operation flexibility where batch size can be varied by either weight or proportion and the operator can set number of batches to run.

Overall system accuracy of the K411 allows for unprecedented filling control with uncertainty of less than 1 millisecond.

The 32 I/O control points available on R400 indicators allow for complex control with multiple set points, enables and interlocks. As the outputs are isolated high side (current source) drivers they are capable of driving low voltage actuators directly or can be connected directly with PLC controllers.

The multi-line display shows batch progress, current weight, target weights, material name along with dedicated batch status annunciators. For example in a batch out scenario current net weight and target weight along with name of the material that is being batched is displayed.
