Principle Of Operation
Microcompt realizes a self-test at start-up, and also periodically during operation, to ensure connectivity with external devices and systems.
The Microcompt can be programmed for a predetermined product quantity to be loaded prior to a delivery or as a Start / Stop system where unspecified product quantity can be delivered. In both the Options, relay Options are provided to control pumps and tank valves. Product delivery is started only after proper functioning of all the interlocks. The delivery commences with gradual opening of the set stop valve controlled by the Microcompt. Loading operation parameters like batch quantity, flow rate can be seen on large 6-digit backlit LCD display.
The interlocks like vehicle earthing, tank low input, etc. are continuously checked. Failing validation of any of the interlocks, Microcompt stops the loading operation and activates the priority alarm with a message on the display. The valve closure takes place in multi-stages, making it gradual and shock free.
Microcompt can be used with -
- Open or closed type loading valves
- Set Stop Valve
- Step-by-step (digitally controlled) valves
Password protection provides security over set up parameters. Weights & Measure seal is attached to a switch located in side the instrument.
During product delivery, Microcompt constantly monitors the meter flow rate and linearizes the meter accuracy curve to give unmatched metering accuracy.
As Microcompt is designed for truck application, special Features like low frequency / voltage functioning, vibration dampening, ticket printing as per customer requirement.
In the case of sudden power failure during product delivery, all the process data is stored into the EEPROM memory of the equipment.
Equipment Configuration
The Microcompt is equipped with a EEPROM memory, in which all the configuration parameters like multipoint meter K-factors, password and related information are stored.
The parameters are field-settable, with tamperproof sealing facility provided on the rear side of the equipment. To configure the parameters, the calibration window on the rear side is opened and the calibration switch is actuated. The parameters can then be edited by using front push buttons. Once the equipment is configured for the required operating conditions, the switch is de-actuated and the window is sealed.
Self-Diagnostic Features
During the delivery, Microcompt constantly monitors the operating conditions for and logs an alarm if any of the conditions goes beyond threshold limits. These conditions include -
- Meter over / under speeding
- Product temperature beyond threshold limits
- Absence of product after valve opening
- Pulse transmitter failure
- Electrical power failure
- Interlock failure like vehicle earthing, tank low alarm, etc.
In case of electrical power failure, Microcompt retains following information in its EEPROM memory -
- Current volume
- Accumulated totaliser
- Operational flags
Peripherals
Microcompt may be associated with various types of peripherals, depending upon the case it will perform as either master or slave unit.
PLC / Computer
Microcompt can be connected to a PLC or a computer via a MODBUS link. This allows remote control of the loading operation, presetting of quantities to be delivered, recovery of meter data, access control to the loading position, etc
Printers
Different types of printers can be connected via a serial link. Microcompt can be interfaced to an industry standard Slip Printer and can offer the possibilities of printing out all information in the form of a loading ticket.
