Descriptive Annex

1 INTRODUCTION This pattern of an automatic catchweigher, designated the 9000 Series, operates as an automatic weight or weight/price labeller (Category Y). The instrument may also operate as an automatic checkweigher (Category X).

It comprises a weighing device with associated thermal label printer and mechanical handling facilities and is designed to weigh packs dynamically. Pricing, pack and labelling information is stored in files, known as Comformats, selectable for the commodity or labels being processed. Labels are printed with the required transaction data and are applied to the packs automatically. 2 DESCRIPTION

2.1 Mechanical 2.1.1 The instrument (Figure 1) is constructed in stainless steel, anodised aluminium and plastics. The main frame work consists of a stainless steel re-enforced electrical cabinet that houses the control and display unit, electrical controls and adjustable screw feet for machine levelling. A level-indicator is provided on top of the weigh head conveyor. The modular conveyor section is fastened to the top of the electrical cabinet, and comprises in-feed, weigh head, and out-feed conveyors. The in-feed and out-feed conveyors are driven by dc motors. The weigh head conveyor is self-contained and is also driven by a dc motor. 2.1.2 The pole-mounted control and display unit, situated behind the conveyors, houses the conveyor based electrical hardware and display. Commands are entered via the 15” TFT LCD touch-screen. Access is through a lockable rear cover. The machine covers are stainless steel throughout with a perspex cover provided over the weighing area. A selection of photocells are mounted along the centreline of the conveyors for pack detection. One or two photocells are mounted on the infeed belt sections to pitch packs onto the weigh table, a second is placed between the gap of the infeed conveyor and weigh table, another is placed between the weigh table and the outfeed conveyor. 2.1.3 Weigh platform 2.1.3.1 The weighing device comprises a single strain gauge load cell located below the centre of the weigh conveyor. The load cell may be as follows: Entry / Mid-range:

Any compatible load cell may be used providing the following conditions are met:

− There is a respective OIML Certificate of Conformity (R60) or a test certificate (EN45501) issued for the load cell by a Notified Body responsible for type examination under Directive 2014/31/EU.

− The certificate contains the load cell types and the necessary load cell data required for the manufacturer’s declaration of compatibility of modules (WELMEC 2, 2015, No 10), and any particular installation requirements. A load cell marked NH is allowed only if humidity testing to EN45501 has been conducted on this load cell.

− It is not a load cell with digital output

− The characteristics of the replacement load cell such as nlc, Y, Z are the same or better that the load cell tested dynamically (Tedea 1040 C3, capacity 15 kg)

− The design of the load cells and the material are the same

− No oil damper is used The minimum voltage input per scale interval shall not be less than 1.87 μV/e. 2.1.3.2 Packs are weighed as they pass over the weigh head conveyor which runs continuously at the speed of the in-feed and out-feed conveyors. The load cell is connected to a Marel MWS2 digital weighing unit. Real time control of the machine is performed by the Elvis board which communicates via CAN with the MWS2 electronics to receive and process weight messages. 2.1.4 The label head is mounted above the out-feed conveyor. It contains the hardware necessary to print, feed and apply self-adhesive labels from a reel. The label applicator is a linear applicator and contains the pneumatics necessary to apply a partial vacuum to the label. 2.2 Electrical 2.2.1 The electrical hardware is based in three main locations: the control and display unit, the electrical cabinet and the thermal label printer. 2.2.2 The control of the instrument is provided by a single board, designated the Elvis board. The Elvis board uses a Motorola MPC860 microprocessor, designated the PM860 Power PC Module. It also communicates with the common I/O module to handle the basic I/O functions and conveyor-based dc motors.

4/16

2.2.3 The PM860 interface is the pole-mounted control and display unit, communicating via Ethernet. The control and display unit houses a 15” TFT LCD, a resistive touch screen (Figure 2) and a Fujitsu D2703 single board computer with dual core processor, using the Windows XP operating platform. The common I/O board is also the control interface to the labeller providing CAN and pack-timing information to ensure each pack is labeller with the correct information.

2.2.4 Interconnecting conduits between the main electrical cabinet and the thermal labeller contains mains power, signal and communication cables and air supply. The thermal label head comprises a main processor module, host board for I/O and a display and keypad. The main processor module incorporates a 32-bit microprocessor memory, communication ports and a connection to the host I/O board.
