Up to 3 Flowmeter boards can be installed in a single Qi Matroller Each must have its own unique address

Three address settings

Qi Lite can function as a two speed Feed Controller The Fast Feed Control is done using these O/Ps The O/Ps are user assignable via software

Fast Feed Control O/P’s

Profibus boardProfibus board

Same board that has been used by the jagXtreme platform for years Address is setup using Qi front panel or Web Pages. Default comms interface is CNet – make sure that PBus has been selected

Qi Hardware & Firmware summary

Uses some of the JagX hardware Digital and analogue scale hardware, PSU, enclosures, display electronics and CPU

board, maintenance features. Good for support and spares purposes

Supported Hardware Analogue and digital Scale boards Flowmeter (pulse input) with 4X control O/Ps (NEW PRODUCT) Multi I/O board (required for Two Speed Control !! )

Communications Interfaces ControlNet & Ethernet IP, Profibus DP, Honeywell C200 & DeltaV

Analogue output board is Not Supported Supplied in same range of enclosures as JagX JagX can be upgraded to a Qi, (kit required) JagX Operating system with PAC and other functionality added

This means that there is a quicker learning curve for those that are already familiar with the JagX

3 Slots available for option cards (comms interface uses one of these slots!)

The Communications Interfaces

Controlnet Node address is set via switches on rear of board Redundant networks are supported Default setting

Ethernet IP Address is set via internal configuration Must be enabled! Uses the same ControlNet board

Profibus DP Address is set via internal configuration.

Honeywell C200 DelltaV GateWays that support any of the above

The Flowmeter board parameters

Only compatible with Flow meters with pulse O/Ps 4 x individually isolated Pulse input channels 4 x Control Outputs, not isolated (one for each flowmeter channel) input ranges (5, 12 and 24 volt), Jumper selectable AC or DC input signal, jumper selectable 3 jumper selectable address settings

Each board must have a unique address Jumper selectable input filter

30 khz max input frequency 8 uS min pulse width Max counts: 16,777,215

JagX to Qi upgrade

JagX field upgradeable to a QiMPACT Protected against unauthorized upgrades. Requires purchase of an “Upgrade kit”

EPROM required to be installed Special note:

Analogue output board not supported Non-DMA analogue Scale boards not supported

4 scales, 4 flowmeters OR 2 scales, 8 flowmeters OR Controlnet, 4 scales OR 4 Scales, MultiFunction board (for two speed Control)

Cluster System Limits (Qi Lite)

1000 Material Paths, Max 12 Channels, Max Max instruments per Qi:

4 scales max ( 2 boards ) 12 Flowmeters ( 3 boards ) 1 Multi Function board 1 communications interface board

Review questions

Can each Flowmeter channel have its own voltage threshold levels? Is the JagXtreme Analogue Output board compatible with the Matroller? How many analogue scales can be connected to a single Matroller?

How many boards is this? Can a JagXtreme be upgraded to a Qi Matroller Is the Qi Matroller compatible with all types of Flowmeters ?

010 - Revision notes010 - Revision notes

Scales use Controller board O/Ps for Feed Control (FCE’s) Flow meters use their own on board O/Ps for Feed Control (FCE’s) Set different addresses if more than one flow meter board is installed in a chassis Set different addresses if more than one scale board is installed in a chassis If using two speed control (QiLite only) the Fast Feed is controlled by an O/P on the

multifunction board. (user can select which O/P) The FCE should be in direct control of the physical control valve. (via Material Path

selection matrix) The EthernetIP interface is not active by default. It must be enabled and then its IP

address set.
