Super User 505-BC01 Dual Stage Batch Controller by Contrec The Contrec 505 BC01 Batch Controller is a dual stage application batch controller for the reliable measurement of preset quantities using a volumetric frequency input. It can be used as a single or dual stage contoller and it is suitable for fast batch applications providing the operator with clear local readout and can be controlled via communications in more automated systems. When access is authorised there is quick access to commonly used preset values directly from the front panel. Automatic overrun compensation caters for system delays such as valve closure for precise volumes. The 505 BC01 instrument is compatible with a wide range of flowmeter frequency outputs, including millivolt signals, reed switches, Namur proximity switches and pulse trains via its smart front-panel program selection.

A list of the variables for this application and their type (total or rate) is shown at the end of this document. The instrument can be supplied with a real-time clock for storage of up to 100 transactions with time and date stamps. Communications There are two communication ports available as follows: RS-232 port RS-485 port The ports are available for remote data reading, printouts and for initial application loading of the instrument. Retransmission & Control Outputs The instrument can retransmit any main menu variable. The digital outputs can retransmit totals as pulses or operate as logic levels for control or error outputs. If the instrument has the advanced option, it outputs rates as a 4-20 mA signal. Relay Outputs The relay outputs 1 and 2 are used to control the flow of product for each delivery. These contacts are normally open and can be used to drive external relays, valves, pump circuits etc. Software Configuration The instrument can be further tailored to suit specific application needs including units of measurement, custom tags, second language or access levels. A distributor can configure these requirements before delivery. Instrument parameters including units of measurement can be programmed in the field, according to the user access levels assigned to parameters by the distributor. All set-up parameters, totals and logged data are stored in non-volatile memory with at least 30 years retention. Calculations for the 505 BC01 Batch Controller The total and flowrate are derived from accurately measured frequency and the number of received pulses. volume = pulses / k-factor volume flow = frequency / k-factor Automatic overrun compensation calculates the new valve closure point to ensure correct delivery by averaging the overrun amount from the last three complete batches. The overrun compensation value is valid for a new preset value provided the stored overrun is less than 20% of the new preset. 505 BC01 Specifications Operating Environment Temperature 0°c to +60°c (conforma coating) +5°c to +40°c (no coating) Humidity 0 to 95% non condensing (conformal coating) 5% to 85% non condensing (no coating) Power Supply 95 - 135V AC or 190 - 260V AC or 12 - 28V DC Consumption 6W (typical) Protection SEaled to IP65 (Nema 4X) when panel mounted Dimensions 147mm (w) X 74mm (h) X 167mm (d) Display Type Backlit LCD with 7 digit numeric display and 11 character alphanumeric display Digits 15.5mm high Characters 6mm high LDC Backup Last data visible for 15 minutes after power down Update Rate 0.3 second Non-volatile Memory Rentention > 30 years Data Stored Setup, Totals and Logs Approvals Interface CE compliance Data Stored IECEx, ATEX and CSA approved enclosures available for hazardous area Real Time Clock (optional) Battery Type 3 volts lithium button cell (CR2032) Battery Life 5 years (typical) Fequency Input (general) Range 0 to 10kHz Overvoltage 30V maximum Update Time 0.3 seconds Cutoff Frequency Programmable Configuration Pulse, coil or NPS input Non-linearity Up to 10 correction points Pulse Signal Type CMOS, TTL, open collector, reed switch Thershold 1.3 volts Coil Signal Type Turbine and sine wave Sensitivity 15mV p-p minimum NPS Signal Type NPS sensor to Namur standard Remote Logic Inputs Signal Type Voltage free contact, open collector Relay Output No. of Outputs 2 relays Voltage 250 volts, AC, 30 volts DC maximum Current 3A maximum Communication Ports Ports RS-232 port Baud Rate 2400 to 19200 baud Parity Odd, even or none Stop Bits 1 or 2 Data Bits 8 Protocols Modbus, RTU, Printer* Transducer Supply Voltage 8 to 24 volts DC, programmable Current 70mA @ 24V, 120mA @ 12V maximum Protection Power limited output Pulse/Digital Output Signal Type Open collector, non-isolated Switching 200mA, 30 volts DC maximum Saturation 0.8 volts maximum Pulse Width Programmable: 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 or 500ms 4-20mA Output (optional) Supply 24 volts DC internal, non-isolated Resolution 0.05% full scale Accuracy 0.1% (full temperature range, typical) Important: Specifications are subject to change without notice *Printer protocoal is available only if RTC option is installed. 505 BC01 Drawings for product dimensions 505 BC01 Batch Controller Document Downloads COMING SOON
