Flowmeter Batch Controller
Trimec Ecobatch
Overview
Ecobatch high speed batch controller is specifically designed to operate with common pulse producing flowmeters such as positive displacement, turbine, mass, or magnetic style meters.
Ecobatch is powered by 12~24Vdc or 110~240Vac. DC models have two solid state 1amp relays, AC models have two single pole/single throw (SPST) relays capable of switching 5amps.
Scrolling English prompts displays operation, alarm & error conditions, programming prompts guide the user through the set-up routine greatly reducing the need to refer to the instruction manual.
A selectable PIN feature provides extra program protection for increased security. Logged information includes an Accumulative Total and totalisation of the Total Number of Batches (TNB).

Multi-batcher Networking
Ecobatch has a unique networking feature which allows up to 10 individual controllers to be networked together using one common flowmeter (shown below).
A typical application is where one liquid is being dispensed to a number of individual outlets. The flowmeter is installed before the first outlet, each controller is wired to the same flowmeter but controls its own process valve which is generally located at the pipe discharge.
Networking takes place when any one controller is started, at this point the count is restricted to the controller in use, all other controllers will be inhibited and at the same time will scroll an "ENGAGED" message showing the ID number of the controller in use. Batch entries can be made whilst controllers are inhibited but they cannot be started until the active controller has completed its batch cycle.
