TAKING CARE GUIDELINES Sub-title Place, Month Year

Internal usage only 1 Hardware, 010 – TAKING CARE GUIDELINES  Scales use Controller board O/Ps for Feed Control (FCE’s)  Flow meters use their own on board O/Ps for Feed Control (FCE’s)  Set different addresses if more than one flow meter board is installed in a chassis  Set different addresses if more than one scale board is installed in a chassis  If using two speed control (QiLite only) the Fast Feed is controlled by an O/P on the multifunction board. (user can select which O/P)  The FCE should be in direct control of the physical control valve. (via Material Path selection matrix)  The EthernetIP interface is not active by default. It must be enabled and then its IP address set.

Internal usage only 2 Architecture, TAKING CARE GUIDELINES  The Qi Ethernet network must be physically separate from the admin and plant control network. (VLAN is sometimes acceptable)  Do not rely on an Ethernet Switch to separate network traffic.  Note the correct way of wiring the Qi O/P  Controller board O/P1 is associated with ScaleA  Controller board O/P2 is associated with ScaleB etc

Internal usage only 3 Designing a Cluster, 060 – TAKING CARE GUIDELINES  Each scale or flow meter is counted as a channel in the Qi database  Each material that is added is a Material Path in the database  A discharge from a scale is also a Material Path  LIW, discharges and flow meters have “Destination Channels” which MUST be entered correctly, the default value will not work.  Draw up a table with a row for each MP. The number of columns is up to you depending on how many parameters you feel like listing.

Internal usage only 4 Suggested sequence of events:  Setup and configure all Scales and Flow meters  Assign unique IP addresses and Matroller numbers to each QI !  Build cluster and assign master. - Tip: master can be the least active Qi in the cluster.  Short feed enabled, if required.  K1 & K2 limiting, if required.  Add channels and configure according to suggested defaults. - Tip: do not skip any installed Scales or Flow meters if possible. (recommended)  Add material paths and configure according to suggested defaults.  Gotcha !! Any LIW or flow meter based feeds MUST have the correct destination channel entered!  Tip: perform initial configuration with Qi in Setup mode  Tip: editing most channel and material path parameters can be done while in Run mode, BUT NOT WHILE THE QI IS BUSY FEEDING.

Internal usage only 6 Commissioning, 090T – TAKING CARE GUIDELINES  Make sure that the material is reset before the very first feed when commissioning a material  Spill and Flow limits must be very wide initially  Use Spill Only algorithm when first commissioning a material  Spill and Flow limits must be reduced once you have a good idea of where the material will stabilize  Use the “Material Transfer Check” screen to start test feeds independent of the host controller. (optional)  Check the status if your feed will not start.  Check that the Matroller is in Auto mode if feed will not start.  Use the “Material Transfer Process” screen to check your feeds !!!  Check that all SIX of the Spill and Flow limit blocks are GREEN !!  Check that the block: “Last Material Transfer Status” indicates a successful update.  Do you need to “Enable Short Feeds” ??? (yes if you expect feedtimes of less than 8 secs.)  Have you enabled K1 and K2 limit checking ?? (recommended.. But you must know what your normal operating ranges are first!!)

Internal usage only 7 Optimizing, 110T – TAKING CARE GUIDELINES The following parameters are important and should be optimized and/or checked on a routine basis. (in relative order of importance)  “Min PAC” flow thresholds  Spill and Flow min and max limits.  “Dump Trip Point” threshold. (If too small feed may not complete)  “Zero” and “unstable scale” flow thresholds.  “Draintime” (normally only after commissioning or experiencing noisy/unstable scale ay end of feeds)

Internal usage only 8 Communications, 120T – TAKING CARE GUIDELINES  ControlNet is enabled by default  EthernetIP must be enabled and its IP and subnet mask entered.  Qi does not support DHCP  The Assembly slot is the Channels indexed position in the Cyclic data to the host controller. (Assembly slot number is found on the Channel config page)  After sending a Command always read the Command Status.  The Command Status MUST ALWAYS be made available to the operators, especially when the Status value is > than 5.  The AIM is optional code which simplifies interfacing to the Qi Matroller  The AIMse can be used to simulate a large cluster of Qi’s  Commands must be sent sequentially to the Qi.  If a Channel is busy feeding you cannot send another command to that channel  Monitor channels toggle bit, if it stops toggling disable material feeds  Monitor channelOK status bit, if it turn Off, disable feed and abort any feeds using this channel
