B+L Industrial Measurements GmbH

The Central Terminal CT3 enables the operation and weight display for up to 16 B+L filling controllers (miniPond 3F / dataPond 3F) centrally, whereby each controller can function independently. It can visualize all fillers on an overview page. Parameter changes can be sent to a single or to all controllers.

Main Features:

• Remote terminal function allows full access to each filling controller from one central location
• Eliminates the need for a local operator panel (saves costs and space)
• Operation from a central location (rotopackers: outside of the rotating machine part)
• Central parameter input (enter once and send to all fillers)
• Central communication hub
• Provides cumulative information of all connected fillers

Description:

The Central Terminal CT3 provides software which allows operation and weight display of up to 16 B+L filling controllers (miniPond 3F / dataPond 3F) centrally, whereby each controller can function independently.

Based on an 8” resistive touch panel with HMI functions it is linked with the controllers via Ethernet.

In addition to the remote terminal function the Terminal can visualize all connected fillers on an overview page or send parameter changes to a single or to all controllers.

Cumulative data collection and analyses for quality management and statistical monitoring of the process can be realized on the Master Terminal.

The dataPond 3F is a weighing controller with firmware especially configured for accurate and fast filling processes, with the legendary B+L filling quality. This universal device can be customized to the specific task at hand with parameter settings.

Simple, application-oriented dialogues and messages facilitate an intuitive operation and commissioning. A web server facilitates the setting of parameters via a network.

Hardy HI4050 Weight Controller

This weight controller / weight indicator acts as a front end to a PLC, PC or DCS system for most weighing applications, or as a stand-alone for simple control or weight monitoring.

Modularity – Configure the HI 4050 weight controller to suit your applications:

• Specify it with or without a display
• Choose either AC or DC power
• Add some Digital I/O
• Select a communication network: DeviceNet, EtherNet/IP, ControlNet, Allen-Bradley Remote I/O, Profibus, Modbus TCP/IP, or Analog

Choose between a panel/remote mount, a DIN rail mount, and a wall mount. With a display, you choose either to panel mount the entire assembly, or to mount the controller housing assembly remotely.

Ease of Installation – Installation is easy, with no special tools or expertise required. Just drill five to nine standard holes in your panel, and attach the front panel keyboard display. There is no rectangular cutout required. The controller housing can be attached to the rear of the panel or remotely up to 100 feet away to a DIN rail. Need to replace an HI 2151/30WC or HI 2110WI? Just drill four holes and plug the HI 4050 controller in.

Small Footprint – The HI 4050 Series controller is designed to optimize panel space and depth is only 76.2 mm (3 in).

Ease of Set-up – By using its embedded web server, you can access the weight controller remotely to control information, instrument parameters and diagnose problems. Front panel keys and graphic display with simple menus provide quick easy setup with process weight and parameter display.

Accessibility – The embedded EtherNet communications port in the HI 4050 weight controller enables users to easily share data across a production facility, eliminating the time and costs associated with new network wiring.

The HI 4050 weight controller includes Hardy's core features:

• Expandable Secure Memory Module (SMM®-SD) to automatically store configuration data, and easily transfer it from one weight controller to another
• C2® Electronic Calibration without test weights
• INTEGRATED TECHNICIAN® to troubleshoot and diagnose your weighing system
• WAVERSAVER® to eliminate surrounding vibration and obtain fast, accurate weight readings

Available options:

• EtherNet/IP
• DeviceNet
• Modbus TCP
• Analog
• RIO
• Profibus

Novel direction for bagging: miniPond 3F

The new bag filling controller offers typical B+L accuracy in a smaller package

B+L introduces the new miniPond 3F, a custom-made controller for bagging machines in the intermediate performance level. The quality and reliability of the filling performance of the miniPond 3F is completely at par with that of its “older brethren” from the Minipond series, the SWA2000M and -C. With their total dedication to the filing process, and their refined filter adjustments the Minipond controllers offer unequalled accuracy and repeatability for the filling operation.

Its “Remote Terminal” - enabling control from anywhere via an Ethernet connection, its very fast learning curve and its insensitivity to noise make the miniPond 3F the filling controller of choice for requirements below the high-speed range.

„For machine-builders, a B+L module offers competitive advantages from the quotation all the way to a life-long low cost of ownership. We therefore developed a controller, which offers the typical B+L qualities for smaller application requirements“, is how B+L managing director Leo Baartmans motivates the miniPond 3F.

In addition, the fast and competent B+L support is always there to assist machine builders and end users alike with detail questions.
