Technical Introduction April 2006

1. Technical Introduction April 2006

2. General Features • Self contained batch solution for small, standalone applications. • All functionality performed by internal JagBASIC program • Is supplied in single metal enclosure. • Integrated panel mount serial printer • For feed, batch and consumption reports • Integrated 4x20 character display • For clear operator prompts and messages • Operator prompts and status information displayed • Feed History data transmitted via Ethernet after each feed • Feed, batch and consumption reports available on RS232 port • Customization (within reason !): • JagBASIC code is written by MT personnel, this allows us to customize the functionality quickly and easily. • Ie operator prompts and data format output • RS232 data to Host control and PC systems • RS232 commands from a Host control system

3. System Architecture • For illustration purposes only, equipment may change depending on requirements Com1:9600:8:1:N LCD Display Com2:9600:8:1:E CPU & MF I/O 4 O/Ps from MF card FCE O/P Pushbuttons & Lamps 4 to 16 BCD Decoder Printer E-Stop for O/Ps FCE O/P contact in series with contacts Aux. Power Supply Field Control Elements

4. Recipe Features • Recipe storage in single text file • Can be read and edited by any PC based text editor • (offline editor coming soon!) • Maximum of 99 Recipes • Maximum of 30 steps per recipe • Maximum of 15+1 physical Scale based Outputs • Max of 99 internal Material paths (wrap around) • Timers x 1 • Hand Additions (included in Material Path definition) • Events x 1

5. Process Features • Tolerance checking and alarm via physical O/P. • Keypress OR input activation required to continue. • Pause between feeds via external “Hold” I/P. • Always active! • Event phase in Recipe • Process will Set an O/P and pause process until an I/P is turned ON • Feed reports automatically at end of every feed (RS232) • Batch and consumption reports on demand • Abort via External push button • Single and two speed supported • Clear operator: • Prompts • Status info • And Alarms • via LCD display

6. Recipe configuration • Recipe configured via Matroller front display and keypad. • External keyboard also supported! • Recipe’s can be: • Created • Deleted • Edited • Note: edit of existing phases (steps) only. New phases cannot be appended to an existing recipe, yet. • Recipe file can be copied into and out of the Matroller, • This allows off line editing of recipe

13. QBCompact configuration and setup • The QBCompact has a fixed relationship between the Material Paths in the recipe and the physical relay O/Ps. • Ie if the recipe phase asks for 300 kg of MP 6. Then Relay #6 will turn ON when this phase is executed. • When a non feed phase is active then the MP selection O/Ps are all 0. The BCD MP decoder by design will then turn ON O/P1. We therefore recommend where possible to NOT use MP1 when configuring your system. If MP1 is used then please be aware that by default this O/P of the steering matrix will be ON when no other MPs are selected. • Configure Matroller Channel/s • Configure Matroller material Paths • Wire field Control elements to QBCompact terminals (when appropriate) • !! MP3 in a recipe will turn ON relay 3. Ensure that you are using the correct Relay • Define process and plan recipe • Enter recipe • Simulate and test system

15. Typical recipe • Process description (single scale) • Add 300 kg of MP2 (water) • Wait for 34 seconds • Add 25 kg of MP3 (paste) • Wait for temperature to reach 50 deg (mix during this period) • Empty Scale, MP5 (discharge cycle) • Process Notes: • After adding paste, an O/P from the Matroller must trigger a heat phase of a separate temperature controller. Once the target temp has been reached an O/P of the temp controller will turn on, this O/P will trigger the next phase of the recipe • In PAC database, configure: • Scale A as Channel 1 • MP2 as GIW, Channel 1, Spill, water • MP3 as GIW, Channel 1, K1, paste • MP5 as LIW, Channel 1, DTE, discharge, destination as 255

16. Wiring to the field • Connect MP2, 3 and 6 field wires to Relays 2, 3 and 6 • Matroller MF O/P 4 connected to Relay x (ref: official schematic) • Temp controller O/P connected to MF I/P 2 • Provide correct voltage for field devices • QBCompact O/Ps are potential free contacts, an external voltage must be supplied for powering the field devices

17. Recipe Structure • The following information is required to be entered into a recipe • Recipe name (16 characters ) • Channel # ( 1 Char ) • MP # (2 Chars ) • Type (GIW, LIW, Event, Timer, Hand Add) • Target (6 Chars) • Pos Tolerance (6 Chars) • Neg Tolerance (6 Chars) • The Matroller will prompt you through each step

18. Misc Information • MF I/P # 3 is used to pause the process at the end or start of a physical feed. • This can be connected to a PLC O/P which could be used as an interlock between the PLC and the batching process. The PLC will then provide an OK to feed signal. • When starting a recipe you will be prompted to enter in the number of required batches, enter in a number from 1 (default) to 98. • Entering 99 will result in an infinite number of batches (continuous cycle) • The MPs will “wrap around after • Timers
