Assemblies Tab
Creating a new assembly
1. Press the blue "+" button in the lower right corner
2. Either scan the assembly QR code or click in the entry field to enter the data manually.
3. When manually entering information, first select the type. The types of assemblies are: Pro Inductor, Fusion Inductor, Stack Stand, and Carrier. Second, enter the serial number for the assembly. Carrier does not have an assembly serial number and a machine can only contain one carrier assembly.
Pro Inductor Assembly
Overview
Inductor Module
The inductor module is the P/P Inductor Module that is mounted inside the Pro Inductor frame. This module is what reads the load cells of the inductor and controls the valves for all the functions of the inductor. All external connections on the Pro Inductor feed to this module.
Scale Calibration
The scale calibration is used to convert the information coming back from the load cells into kilograms.
Scale Reaction Speed
The scale reaction speed allows the user to adjust how sensitive the scale is to its surrounding environment. The less environmental factors such as wind, and vibration, the closer to 1-Min Vibration this can be set. Typically 3-Med Vibration works in most conditions.
Drain Valve
The drain valve defined here is the valve used to drain the inductor tank.
Additional Input Valves added to the Pro Inductor (Up to 5)
Each additional valve must be defined. The Plumbing Name is what shows up in the selection dropdown when assigning plumbings to products in the Mix Preview screen. The Throttle Valve is the control valve placed under the hood of the Pro Inductor. The Hose Dimensions is used to define the diameter and length of the hose for this input.
Fusion Inductor Assembly
Overview
Inductor Module
The inductor module is the P/P Inductor Module that is mounted inside the Fusion Inductor frame. This module is what reads the load cells of the inductor and controls the valves for all the functions of the inductor. All external connections on the Fusion Inductor feed to this module.
Scale Calibration
The scale calibration is used to convert the information coming back from the load cells into kilograms.
Scale Reaction Speed
The scale reaction speed allows the user to adjust how sensitive the scale is to its surrounding environment. The less environmental factors such as wind, and vibration, the closer to 1-Min Vibration this can be set. Typically 3-Med Vibration works in most conditions.
Drain Valve
The drain valve defined here is the valve used to drain the inductor tank.
Has Stack Checkbox
The Has Stack checkbox is for if you have added on a stack to the Fusion Inductor. This allows you to define the plumbing inputs and components of the stack attached to the Fusion Inductor.
Has Stack Throttle Valve
The stack Throttle Valve is the valve closest to the three inch tee of the main line. This valve exists between the tee and the flowmeter of the stack.
Has Stack Flowmeter
The stack Flowmeter is defined here. Flowmeters require two pieces of information, their serial number and the calibration in counts per liter.
Has Stack Plumbing Inputs
Each stack plumbing input receives its own name and also you can individually set the feed line size of the input using the Hose Dimensions entry. The plumbing inputs start closest to the flowmeter and work away from it.
Additional Valve Checkbox
The additional valve checkbox is used when adding a valve to the top of the stack. The additional valve becomes the rinse valve and the valve below becomes a plumbing input. An additional plumbing input is added above this checkbox when true and an entry for defining the rinse valve is added below the checkbox.
Stack Stand Assembly
Overview
Stack Throttle Valve
The stack Throttle Valve is the valve closest to the three inch tee of the main line. This valve exists between the tee and the flowmeter of the stack.
Stack Flowmeter
The stack Flowmeter is defined here. Flowmeters require two pieces of information, their serial number and the calibration in counts per liter.
Stack Plumbing Inputs
Each stack plumbing input receives its own name and also you can individually set the feed line size of the input using the Hose Dimensions entry. The plumbing inputs start closest to the flowmeter and work away from it.
Additional Valve Checkbox
The additional valve checkbox is used when adding a valve to the top of the stack. The additional valve becomes the rinse valve and the valve below becomes a plumbing input. An additional plumbing input is added above this checkbox when true and an entry for defining the rinse valve is added below the checkbox.
+ Add Stack
The Add Stack is used to define the second stack added to a stack stand. The above information is repeated for the additional stack.
Carrier Assembly
Overview
Primary Measurement
The primary measurement section defines the flowmeter or mass flowmeter used to measure the majority of the carrier product(s) added to the mix.
Scan Module Code
The scan module code entry in the primary measurement section is used to define which module the flowmeter is connected to.
Port
The port entry in the primary measurement section is used to define which flowmeter port the flowmeter is plugged into on the module defined above in the scan module code entry.
Scan Flowmeter Code
The scan flowmeter code entry in the primary measurement section defines the serial number and counts per liter of the flowmeter used.
Secondary Measurement
The secondary measurement section defines the flowmeter used to measure the rinse water when the physical plumbing layout requires a separate flowmeter. The information needed to complete this section is the same steps that are needed for the primary measurement section.
Holdback Settings
The Holdback Settings allow for a change to the holdback size or the Starting Carrier valve position and whether or not the Mixmate can automatically adjust the carrier valve position for best system performance. If you have a high percentage of carrier, the Starting Carrier Valve Position can also be larger. Likewise, a smaller percentage of carrier warrants a smaller Starting Carrier Valve Position. ** NOTE ** If you change any setting here, you MUST press SAVE for the changes to apply.
Inputs
The carrier inputs define the valve to control the flow of that carrier product into the mix. They optionally can set the calibration to be used with this input as well as if there is a secondary control valve to allow a bypass of the product to be sent into the mix.
Input Name
The input name is what shows in the selection dropdown when assigning inputs to products on the Mix Preview page
Valve
The valve entry defines whether the valve is a CAN bus valve or a valve operated by a digital output of a Module.
Scan Module Code
The scan module code entry for the valve input is used to define the CAN bus device. For a CAN bus valve, it is the serial number and whether it is a 2-way or 3-way valve. For a Digital valve, it is the Module from which the control signal originates.
Input Calibration count/L
This is the optional adjustment to the factory calibration for this input.
Secondary Throttle
The secondary throttle is an optional entry typically used when a bypass for this product is physically plumbed into the system where this valve sends the carrier product directly to the discharge line.
