• MIN/MAX SPEED% are the limits at which the controller allow the drives to run and are
used to determine the MIN/MAX blend rate for any given recipe. It is important that these
limitations be set appropriately for the given motor/drive technology. Refer to service
before changing
• REFILL SETTLE TIME (SECONDS) is the amount of time that the controller will weight
for the hopper to settle after a refill before looking at the weight. Setting this value too
small can cause erroneous results.
• ENCODER CIRCUIT ENABLED/DISABLED is used to specify if you are using closed
loop feedback on this feeder. This could be an encoder or other pickup source.
• ENCODER PPR is the pulses per revolution of the encoder. Set this according to your
encoder documentation. Refer to the factory for assistance in determining this if it is not
clearly stated.
