WEIGH SCALE BLENDER®
MAGUIRE PRODUCTS, INC.
1TY = OFF
1CS 00000
DESIGNATES MATERIAL TYPE for this component.
Material types are: REG, NAT, ADD, or OFF=NOT USED.
(0=OFF, 1=REG, 2=NAT, 3=ADD)
These MUST be set using the *14 function before the system will operate. See: "TURNING ON OUTPUTS"
to complete this.
Thumbwheel assignment or current setting entry.
This parameter reflects the current setting or thumbwheel assignment for this component. No entry is
required here.
1AL 00000
Last digit = number of retries before ALARM.
00001 to 00009 = sound alarm, hold process.
00011 to 00019 = sound alarm, continue process.
These parameters set ALARM functions. When material runs out, or does not dispense fully, these flags
instruct the controller what to do. Default settings shown are for Natural, Color, and Additive to alarm, but
not Regrind.
1XT 00000
1SE 01000
Move decimal left on color and additive settings.
These parameters allow entry of less then (00.1) percent for COLOR or ADDITIVE.
When set to "00010" settings are read as X.XX percent.
When set to "00100" settings are read as .XXX percent.
Upper SETTING limits for thumbwheels (0xxx.x).
Settings greater than limit are held to limit. (01000) = 100%
These parameters can SET UPPER LIMITS to the thumbwheels. For color and additive, lower settings may
help ensure expensive material is not wasted.

WT/TI = the rate that will be used for calculating the next dispense time.
WT = the Weight portion of the dispense rate, calculated such that WT/TI equals the average of the last two
actual dispense rates.
TI = the TIME portion of the dispense rate. (Interrupts)
These change AUTOMATICALLY during normal operation.
They are Weight and Time portions of the flow rate calibration.
Minimum valid dump rate GRAMS/sec. (full or tenth grams)
Error correction is bypassed when dispense rate is lower.
On power up, these are always set to 1. After several consistent cycles, they are reset to 80 percent of
actual flow rate. These prevent excessive swings in flow rate calculations if material is running out.
Allowable GRAM error within which NO correction is made.
This is the acceptable error range for each component to prevent hunting. They adjust automatically over an
extended time period to match the flow characteristics of each material.
Reduce the target of the first try dispense.
PERCENT shortage error that will force a retry.
GRAM weight shortage error that will force a retry.
Retries occur until both conditions are met.
Lag TIME before dispense ACTUALLY starts.
(mechanical response time, interrupts)
These parameters state the lag time between when a device is signaled and when it actually begins to
operate. Change ONLY if you change to non-standard equipment.
Pulse rate of "MICRO PULSE" valves.
