HAVER Weigher Electronics MEC III

The MEC III results from the continuous development of the 6th
generation of HAVER electronic
weighers. Up to now, more than
12,000 electronic weighers are
used worldwide on HAVER filling
machines.
The MEC III is a PTB approved
electronic measurement device that
can be calibrated and has a resolution of 6000 increments. It may be
operated as multi-range or multidivision weigher with three different increment settings.
The zero-setting is done via a dialog and may be securely stored
against power outages.
In addition to the weighing functions, the MEC III controls machine functions via digital inputs and
outputs.
The operation and display of all
functions is done through an external control terminal.

The simple and well-structured
operational sequences are done
through menus or via function
keys with actual pictograms. Text
and numerical values are inputted
using the combined alpha-numeric

keypad. The plain text information

may be displayed in many national
languages.
For the appropriate setting of the
filling machine, there are aids for
analyzing the filling process with
respect to the filling time and the
mass flow rate.

The computer unit is modularly
designed. It consists of an operating
unit, keypad, display and the control
unit. The operating unit is easily
accessible and is built into a switch
cabinet door, while the control unit
module is placed inside the switch
cabinet. All electrical connections to
the modules are plug-in type, which
makes exchanging components an
easy task, even for non-specialists.

The DPS 4.1 data processing

system is a program for collecting, reporting and recording
process data that can be read and
stored over the serial interfaces of
a PC using the Windows 95, 98 or
NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 operating systems. Data from HAVER
weigher control systems or servers
for ROTO-Packers and their check
weighers are collected. Up to eight
packing lines can be processed and
administrated simultaneously using
a PC equipped with the appropriate
interface equipment.
The dialog language is selectable
from a menu.
The following data may be
collected: line number, weigher
number, sort designation, actual
weight, specified weight, tare
weight, overweight limit, underweight limit, sort changeover, error
messages, weigher status and plain
text messages.
From this data, the following
values are reported: mean
weight, standard deviation, total
weight, total bag count, number of
good bags, underweight bags and
overweight bags, hourly bag pro-

duction, information about charge

start and charge stop time.
Reports such as machine reports,
daily, weekly, monthly and yearly
reports, error reports and single
weight reports may be printed out.
From a single weight report, a
weighing diagram or a Gaussian
distribution curve can be generated.

The packing line can be shown in a

total of 8 different statistics windows. Here, every packing line may
be assigned to a statistics window,
or more than one line may be
assigned in groups to a statistics
window.
For every statistics window there
are 15 data columns for inputs
such as actual weight, of which 7
are visible on screen. The operator

can switch over to other data columns.

150 bytes of memory capacity are needed per
data set for one filled bag. That means data
for 40 million filled bags can be stored on a
hard disk with 6 GB of available memory.
The data sets are entered into a dBase so that
they may be further read and processed by
most user programs such as Excel.
