Dispensing functions 1 IND690-Fill Dispensing functions 1.1 Documentation The weighing terminal IND690-… comes supplied with a CD containing all the documentation on the weighing system IND690. These operating instructions describe the operation and configuration of the application software IND690-Fill. The basic information for working with the weighing terminal IND690-... can be found in the operating instructions IND690-Base. 1.
Dispensing functions IND690-Fill 1.3 Dispensing system With feed valves or feed chutes controlled with coarse and fine feed, the dispensing sample is automatically infed up to the specified target value. The control signals for the feed valves are transmitted to the 8-690 relay box via the RS485-690 interface. The 8-690 relay box controls the dispensing system either directly or via an additional external control unit (PLC).

Dispensing functions IND690-Fill 1.6.3 Dispensing with a supply vessel on the weighing platform During dispensing the filling container is dispensed from a supply vessel on the weighing platform. 1. Enter dispensing parameters, see section 1.5. The display shows READY FOR DISPENSING. 2. Place filled supply vessel on the weighing platform. 3. Press START key. The display shows the following: weight value with negative sign, dispensing status and DeltaTrac.
Dispensing functions IND690-Fill 1.9 Redispensing If, for example, the weight value is briefly exceeded, the fine feed is switched off too early and the current weight value (actual value) is below the target value. During redispensing the fine feed is opened in intervals until the target value is reached. Depending on the setting in the master mode, redispensing is carried out manually or automatically, see section 2.2. Manual redispensing Prerequisite MANUAL REDISPENSING is set in the master mode.
Dispensing functions IND690-Fill 1.11 Totalizing automatically To automatically totalize dispensing processes with the same dispensing samples, an item counter can be specified which determines the number of dispensing processes. When the item counter reaches its stop value, the dispensing system stops automatically. Prerequisite TOTALIZING ON is set in the master mode. 1. To set the item counter: – Press N key. – Enter start value of item counter and confirm with ENTER.
Dispensing functions IND690-Fill 1.12 Recalling application-specific information Information on dispensing can be recalled with the following key combinations: INFO, N INFO, SUM INFO, LIMIT INFO, fixed target number, LIMIT Display item counter. Display current weight sum. Display current dispensing parameters. Display stored dispensing parameters. Notes • If several pieces of information are recalled with one key, the display changes automatically after the set DISPLAY DURATION.

Ask your METTLER TOLEDO sales partner. See section 2.2.6 for examples. APPLICATION Select application ABOVE LEVEL Dispensing above the filling level (factory setting) BELOW LEVEL Filling with dispensing lance below the dispensing level NOZZLE CONTROL Switch nozzle control on or off.
Settings in the master mode AUTOMATIC TARE IND690-Fill Switch automatic taring before dispensing on or off Factory setting: AUTOMATIC TARE ON REDISP. CORRECTION Switch redispensing correction on or off The redispensing correction function optimizes the switch-off point of the fine feed (limit 2). If REDISP. CORRECTION ON is set, the target-actual difference is determined for each container and multiplied by a FACTOR.
Settings in the master mode IND690-Fill FIXED TARGET Save dispensing parameters for various components in target memories protected against power failure LOAD FIXED TARGET 1. Enter FIXED TARGET NO. memory number: 1 … 999. 2. Enter article designation NAME, e.g. M8 SCREW. 3. Enter TARG target weight. 4. If OUTPUT 2 = 3RD SHUTOFF POINT: Enter switchover point preflow/coarse feed LIMIT 0. 5. Enter coarse/fine feed switchover point LIM 1. 6. Enter switch-off point of fine feed LIM 2: LIMIT 1 ≤ LIMIT 2. 7.
Settings in the master mode TOTALIZING IND690-Fill Switch automatic totalizing on or off If TOTALIZING ON is set, the dispensings to be totalized can be selected. Factory setting: TOTALIZING OFF CORRECT DISPENSINGS Only totalize dispensings within the tolerances. Cancelled dispensings can be added to the total sum with the SUM key in the CONTINUE WITH START state. ALL DISPENSINGS Totalize all dispensings.
Settings in the master mode IND690-Fill OPERATING MODE Set operating mode with certified weighing platforms NON AUTOMATIC The dispensing process does not run automatically and the permissibility of the weight values must be monitored by the operator. AUTOMATIC The dispensing process runs automatically (factory setting). Comments • Different national tolerances are taken into account.
Settings in the master mode LEARN MODE IND690-Fill Switch Learn mode on or off If LEARN MODE ON is set and the dispensing parameters are entered without limits or limit 2 ≤ limit 1, the IND690-Fill determines the valve switch-off points limit 1 and limit 2. If LEARN MODE OFF is set, limit 1and limit 2 must be entered manually.
Settings in the master mode IND690-Fill MONITOR DISPENSING Switch monitor dispensing on or off Dispensing monitoring monitors the weight increase in each measuring cycle. If MONITOR DISPENSING ON is set and the weight value exceeds or drops below the SENSITIVITY value, dispensing monitoring is activated.
Settings in the master mode IND690-Fill MONITOR DISPENSING Switch monitor dispensing on or off Example Big bag emptying If SUBTRACTIVE WEIGHING ON is selected, the dispensing monitor stops the emptying process as soon as the big bag is fully emptied. The last filling process is generally not yet complete here. The previously removed weight can be saved by pressing the TARE key. After inserting a new big bag and pressing the START key, the interrupted filling process is then completed.
Settings in the master mode IND690-Fill START TIMER Set delay time between the start of the dispensing process and opening of the coarse feed TIME Possible values: 0 … 999 seconds (factory setting: 0) Comments • When the start timer is activated, the display shows the time remaining. • The start timer can be interrupted or cancelled with the STOP key. • If two 8-690 relay boxes are installed, the OUT7 output on the second 8-690 relay box is set to HIGH during the delay time.
Settings in the master mode SINGLE FEED OPERATION IND690-Fill Switch single feed operation on or off If SINGLE FEED OPERATION ON is set and the target value of the specified LIMIT is dropped below, dispensing is then only carried out with fine feed. This also enables smaller quantities to be dispensed without switching over the dispensing system (valves, pumps). Factory setting: SINGLE FEED OPERATION OFF LIMIT Enter threshold value for single feed operation.
Settings in the master mode IND690-Fill RESET PAC Reset all functions to the factory settings Block APPLICATION AUTOMATIC TARE REDISP.
Settings in the master mode 2.2.1 IND690-Fill Material agitation MATERIAL AGITATION Switch agitator in dependence on weight and time LIMIT 1, LIMIT 2, TARGET VALUE LIMIT 1, LIMIT 2 or TARGET VALUE are reference quantities for the material agitation. Possible settings: WEIGHT + TIME • WEIGHT: Enter switch-on value as difference to the reference quantity. • TIME: Enter switch-on time between 0 … 9999 seconds; The dispensing process is interrupted during the switch-on time.
Settings in the master mode IND690-Fill 2.2.3 FILL QUANTITY Fill quantity Set fill quantity control during weighing-out If the gross weight of the filling container drops below a specified value ALARM VALUE after a dispensing process, output OUT2 on the first 8-690 relay box is set to HIGH. The supply vessel is automatically refilled and the display shows REFILL. When the specified weight value FILL QUANTITY is reached, output OUT2 is set to LOW.
Settings in the master mode 2.2.4 IND690-Fill Weighing platform switchover SCALE SWITCHOVER Switch back and forth between two weighing platforms MANUAL Manual switchover with a pulse at input IN 6 of the first 8-690 relay box. AUTOMATIC Switch over automatically. WEIGHING-IN If ACKNOWLEDGE OFF is also set and the output OUT6 (End of Dispensing) on the first 8-690 relay box is connected to the input IN 2 (Start), the dispensing process and change run automatically.
Settings in the master mode IND690-Fill 2.2.5 3RD SHUTOFF POINT 3rd shutoff point Control of a third valve Dispensing systems with 3 valves have a 3rd shutoff point (limit 0), which is controlled via output 2. Up to limit 0 (switchover point preflow/coarse feed) dispensing is carried out with preflow. Comments • The learn mode is automatically switched off an all 3 limits must be manually entered. • Limit 0 may not be entered greater than limit 1.
