﻿With the aid of the “Bürkert Communicator” tool, you can activate licenced software functions, such as the “Batch Controller” or graphic programming (alsoknown as f(x)) on the intended Bürkert products. Filling or control applications canbe performed this way.
“Batch Controller” for Type ME43 and Type ME63 - The “Batch Controller” isarranged for the exact dosing of pre-defined quantities in combination with a flowmeter and a corresponding valve. The batch functionality runs on the Type ME43
and Type ME63 gateways. An intuitive step-by-step wizard helps you with the configuration of the “Batch Controller” and optimises your filling process.
The graphic programming - also known as f(x) - offers you a programme editor that
represents a data flow-oriented programming environment. With an extensive
library, you can either create your control logic as a function block diagram or aflow diagram. The user interface is easy to understand and intuitive to operate. The
Type ME43 and Type ME63 gateways support graphic programming - decentralised control therefore becomes a reality.

The accuracy of the batch system is the result of the accuracy of individual system components:• Sensor measuring accuracy and sampling rate, the dosing valve used and its control unit, thecommunication delay (e.g. CAN, fieldbus).
Detailed information and best practice for precise dosing can be found in chapter “3.3. Operating
instructions – best practice for precise dosing” on page 12.
• The longer the dosing time is, the lower the influence of the totalizer sampling time on the relative
accuracy. Dosing examples for batch systems can be found in chapter “2.3. Dosing examples” onpage 6.

Product operation

3.1. Functional overview
The “Batch Controller” is for dosing liquids. Dosing can be performed using the process value transmitted by the sensor as a volume or
mass. The supported scenarios (combination of medium/dosing valves) are set out in chapter “2.1. Scenarios” on page 3 .
The configuration of the “Batch Controller” takes place via the Communicator, see software instructions for “Batch Controller” Type 8922 
for Type ME43 and Type ME63.
The parameters of a dosage are set via a recipe (target quantity, timeout, medium valve etc.). A total of up to 7 different recipes can besaved. The configured target quantities can be selected using the optional process control display, a free target quantity can be entered
here (see chapter “4.1. Type ME61 - EDIP process control display” on page 13).
The “Batch Controller” can also be controlled via a PLC with the configured target quantities (recipes), and a target quantity can also beentered freely.
The “Batch Controller” offers three different function modes for dosing, see chapter “3.2. Function modes” on page 8.

Duration• This is performed when the automatic correction volume has a value of 0 (when the system starts for the first time, or can be reset via
communicator).
• Essentially, this functions like a normal automatic batch mode.
• The difference is that the “First Batch” temporarily closes the dosing valve or valves at half of the target volume, depending on the
scenario.
• The high flow valve is closed before the main valve in this case.
• The automatic correction volume can be calculated by closing.

The “Batch Controller” automatically corrects the dosed volume from the first dosage in automatic batch mode. Dosing is briefly interrupted
during calibration (first batch) in this case. It is also possible in this mode to configure a manual correction volume. This means thatdeviations can consistently be eliminated.

• The dosing valves will be directly opened as long as “medium selection delay” has not been selected, or there is no medium valve in the
scenario.
• Flow rises to maximum value.
• If high flow valve available (depending on scenario):– Customer defines volume or weight, which should only be dosed to the main valve at the end.
– If the quantity from which only the main valve should be used is reached in the totalizer, the high flow valve is closed (target quantity– residual volume or weight for main valve) 2 .
• If the target quantity, excluding the automatically determined correction volume or weight, is achieved in automatic batch mode, themain valve is closed 3 .
• If a manual correction volume or weight is configured in automatic batch mode, this is also taken into consideration here. This is whatmakes it different from the Teach-in mode. In that case, only the manual correction volume is used, automatic correction does not takeplace.
• After no more flow is available, the medium valve is closed.
• If drain valve available:– The drain valve can be opened for a certain time after the batch has been completed (Drain parameter in recipe)

4.

– If the drain valve is closed, the batch is finished.
• A new batch procedure can then be started.

Automatic correction of the dosed volume does not take place in teach-in mode. Only a reaction to the manually pre-set correction volume
occurs. This mode is particularly advised for consistent system conditions and known excess volumes, and/or when the dosing time is too
short, meaning that automatic corrections cannot be made.

Product accessories

4.1. Type ME61 - EDIP process control display
The process control display Type ME61 extends the EDIP (Efficient Device Integration Platform) with an easily attachable display for processparameters. The device provides a Bürkert system bus interface (büS) with the aid of an M12 connection, and can therefore be quickly
integrated into existing büS and CANopen environments. The ME61 can easily and conveniently be configured to display the desired
information, via the EDIP platform configuration tool (Bürkert Communicator). See data sheet Type ME61  for more information.

4.2. EDIP – Efficient Device Integration Platform
EDIP is a Bürkert device platform that standardises the operation, communication and interfaces of many process devices (e.g. sensors,mass flow controllers).
EDIP is the Bürkert device and communication platform that combines interfaces for several process devices (e.g. sensors, mass flow
controllers). Thanks to EDIP, devices can be intelligently networked and operated with the uniform software, the Bürkert Communicator. The
backbone and connecting link of EDIP is a digital interface that meets the CANopen standard and can also be used in a downward
compatible manner with it. EDIP offers the user the following advantages:• Interoperability – guaranteed by the uniform interface• Comfortable operation and display concept• Faster and simplified commissioning• Modularity - allows the devices to be adapted to individual customer requirements• Easy transfer and fusion of device settings

4.3. Bürkert Communicator software
Note:
To install the software, click here .
The Bürkert Communicator is the most important software component of the ‚Efficient Device Integration Platform‘ (EDIP). Various featuresof this universal tool simplify the configuration and parameterization of devices equipped with a digital CANopen based interface. With thistool the user has a complete overview of cyclic process values as well as acyclic diagnosis data. The integrated graphical programming
environment enables the creation of decentralized sub-system control functions. The connection to the PC is established with a USB-CAN
adapter. This is available as an accessory (see “6.5. Ordering chart accessories” on page 16).
The Communicator enables:• Configuration, parameterisation and diagnosis of EDIP devices / networks• Easy and comfortable mapping of cyclic values• Graphical display of process values• Firmware update for the connected EDIP devices• Backup and restoring of device configurations

The configuration of the “Batch Controller” is integrated from the communicator version 6.2 onwards.
