The Qi “Box”

Fully populated Qi Matroller Installed Boards: Dual Analogue Scale, Flowmeter board and ProfiBus communications Standard Ethernet port 4x Control O/Ps for Scales Load and Reset button

Control connections for the Scales Scale B uses OUT2 Scale C uses OUT3 Analogue Scale A connection Control O/P for Scale A Scale D uses OUT4 Assignment is fixed Note: Channel number is not related to a PAC Channel

Flowmeter board Flowmeter 1, I/O connections Control O/P for Flowmeter 1 Flowmeter 2 uses O/P 2, etc Assignment is fixed O/Ps are NOT isolated from each other or 0 volts !

Flowmeter board Jumpers Each channel is fully opto isolated Jumper settings for each channel

Flowmeter channel jumpers Channel options Channel jumpers Filter Enable

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

MultiFunction board (Qi Lite) 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 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

ControlNet board – Rear view Rear view with cover plate removed NOTE: By default ControlNet ports are active, NOT EtherNet IP EtherNet IP port Address set by these switches Primary ControlNet port Secondary ControlNet port Status LEDs

ControlNet board – RS232 port CNet board showing internal com port for firmware upgrades NOTE: this is an advanced feature and would not normally be used Current version of CNet firmware is “E” (Dec 2005) 0V Rx Tx Load PB

Cooling Fan assembly Supplied as Standard with all Qi Matrollers !! 220 V version of power supply is now available

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

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 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.
