Product catalog summary
Overview
The Model 515 BF01 is a dual-stage batch/flow controller designed for volumetric frequency flowmeters. It supports both preset and manual on-off modes, with features like no-flow, leakage, and overflow error detection. The device allows remote operation and supports PI loop control for non-linear correction. It can store up to 1000 transactions with time and date stamps and offers selectable communication protocols including Modbus RTU.

Specifications
The controller operates in temperatures ranging from -20°C to +60°C with conformal coating and +5°C to +40°C without. It supports a power supply of 100-240 V AC or 12-28 V DC, with a typical consumption of 6 W. The device is sealed to IP65 standards when panel mounted and features a backlit LCD display.

Communication and Outputs
The Model 515 includes RS-232 and optional RS-485 ports for remote data reading and printouts. It features opto-isolated outputs for retransmitting variables, with relay outputs for controlling product flow. The device supports ASCII, Modbus RTU, and Printer protocols.

Software Configuration
The instrument can be customized for specific applications, including units of measurement and access levels. All setup parameters and logged data are stored in non-volatile memory with over 30 years of retention.

Ordering Information
The product code for ordering includes options for enclosure type, output options, relay type, power supply, display panel, and PCB protection. The application pack number BF01 specifies the software loaded into the instrument.

Main Menu Variables
The main menu includes variables such as volume, volume flowrate, control output, and flowrate deviation, with default units in liters and liters per minute.

Model 515-1

Model 515 Application BF01 Dual Stage Batch/Flow Controller for Volumetric Frequency Flowmeters The 515 BF01 application is a batching flow controller for delivery of preset quantities at preset flowrates using a volumetric frequency input. Batch control can operate in preset or on-off modes, while flow control can be set to local (manual) or PI loop mode. The total and flowrate are derived from accurately measured frequency and the number of received pulses. Tailored for volumetric frequency flow input Single or Dual stage control Preset or manual On-Off modes Easy access to batch and flow rate presets No-flow, leakage and overflow error detection Remote RUN/STOP/RESET Allows for permissive with prompt Uses PI Loop Control Allows for non-linear correction Storage of 1000 transactions with time and date stamp Selection of second language and user tags Selectable protocols on serial ports including Modbus RTU and Printer output Backlit display with LCD backup This application provides the operator with clear local readout including flowrate deviation and can be controlled via communications in more automated systems. There is quick access to commonly used preset values directly from the front panel if access has been authorized. 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. The PI control of the process flow is via a 4-20mA proportional valve or pump controller. It has integral windup protection, a deadband, output hold and ramp time that can be programmed to reduce wear on valves and actuators and provide for bumpless operation.
