Does the HI 4060 Rate Controller have a remote pause function?

Last updated 04-07-2014 08:29

Question

We use a magnetic read switch on the valve handle to open or close the pause remote function.  The 4060 does not have a pause switch and I am able to start the feeder from the front panel when the stop switch is closed. Does the HI 4060 Rate Controller have a remote pause function?

Answer

For a feed interlock you can use the ESTOP (abort)(NOT OK to Feed) with a dry contact closure to the input.  As long as the ESTOP input is held on, the controller stays in NOT OK to FEED.   You can also program a bit across communications for NOT OK to FEED.  But with loss of communications this could make this unreliable. 
You can close the input during a run condition, auto or manual, all stops with NOT OK TO FEED alarm on the front display and a similar status bit.  As long at that contact is held, you cannot start.  Releasing the input and  pressing START and the feed is resumed, but batch amounts restart and the rate starts using the rate lookup table.

I used the preprogrammed switch input 3 to Com located on the back panel to the right of the relay terminals.  
Pin 3 to pin 6. 
 
No mapping required.  These inputs are part of the default mapping.
