The “Formulation” application
82
Menu pages 2 to 4 can be used to select components, which are to be part of the current
formula and to define specifications for their processing. All components are deactivated
ex works (“Off”).
Touch the button for the component that you would like to include in the formula. A window
appears in which the component can be activated. Press the “Define” button to define
the specifications for processing the component.
In this menu window, first select the desired component from the component database
and then define its nominal weight and the permissible tolerances.
To select the component, press the button next to the component name or component ID.
In both cases, the component database opens and the desired component can be selected
by touching it. In the example opposite, a component has already been selected.
Then define the “Component Weight” (nominal weight) and the permissible tolerances
for the component (in % or in a weight unit).
Select other components for the current formula and define the specifications for their
processing. The balance is now ready to process the formula.
7.5.2 Formulae with “% components” (relative nominal value)
The definition of formulae with components with relative nominal values differs only slightly from the definition of formulae with “ab-
solute components”.
The entry of the formula name and ID and the setting for the “Security Check” are identi-
cal (section 7.5.1).
In addition, the “Basis” for weighing in components must be defined:
“Total Weight”: The percentage nominal value of each component refers
to the total weight (final weight) of the formula. The desired
final weight must first be entered during the formulation and
then the nominal weights of the individual components are
calculated automatically as a percentage of this weight. This
is the factory setting.
“Comp. 1 Weight”: The nominal weight of the first component must be entered
during formulation. This weight corresponds to the percentage
value that is specified in the formula definition. The nominal
weights of the other components are then calculated automati-
cally in relation to the first component. Example of a formula
with 2 components: Define a percentage of 75 % for the first
component and a percentage of 40 % for the second compo-
nent. Enter a nominal weight of 100 g for the first component
during formulation. The balance calculates a nominal weight
of53.33g(100g/75%•40%=53.33g)forthesecond
component.
Note: No formulation procedure can be selected for formulae with relative component
nominal values because all components must always be weighed in in 1 container.
