Technical Introduction April 2006

Internal usage only 1 General Features  Self contained batch solution for small, standalone applications.  All functionality performed by internal JagBASIC program  Is supplied in single metal enclosure.  Integrated panel mount serial printer - For feed, batch and consumption reports  Integrated 4x20 character display - For clear operator prompts and messages  Operator prompts and status information displayed  Feed History data transmitted via Ethernet after each feed  Feed, batch and consumption reports available on RS232 port  Customization (within reason !): - JagBASIC code is written by MT personnel, this allows us to customize the functionality quickly and easily. - Ie operator prompts and data format output - RS232 data to Host control and PC systems - RS232 commands from a Host control system

Internal usage only 3 Recipe Features  Recipe storage in single text file - Can be read and edited by any PC based text editor  (offline editor coming soon!)  Maximum of 99 Recipes  Maximum of 30 steps per recipe  Maximum of 15+1 physical Scale based Outputs  Max of 99 internal Material paths (wrap around)  Timers x 1  Hand Additions (included in Material Path definition)  Events x 1

Internal usage only 4 Process Features  Tolerance checking and alarm via physical O/P. - Keypress OR input activation required to continue.  Pause between feeds via external “Hold” I/P. - Always active!  Event phase in Recipe - Process will Set an O/P and pause process until an I/P is turned ON  Feed reports automatically at end of every feed (RS232)  Batch and consumption reports on demand  Abort via External push button  Single and two speed supported  Clear operator: - Prompts - Status info - And Alarms - via LCD display

Internal usage only 5 Recipe configuration  Recipe configured via Matroller front display and keypad.  External keyboard also supported!  Recipe’s can be: - Created - Deleted - Edited  Note: edit of existing phases (steps) only. New phases cannot be appended to an existing recipe, yet.  Recipe file can be copied into and out of the Matroller, - This allows off line editing of recipe

Internal usage only 12 QBCompact configuration and setup  The QBCompact has a fixed relationship between the Material Paths in the recipe and the physical relay O/Ps.  Ie if the recipe phase asks for 300 kg of MP 6. Then Relay #6 will turn ON when this phase is executed.  When a non feed phase is active then the MP selection O/Ps are all 0. The BCD MP decoder by design will then turn ON O/P1. We therefore recommend where possible to NOT use MP1 when configuring your system. If MP1 is used then please be aware that by default this O/P of the steering matrix will be ON when no other MPs are selected.  Configure Matroller Channel/s  Configure Matroller material Paths  Wire field Control elements to QBCompact terminals (when appropriate) - !! MP3 in a recipe will turn ON relay 3. Ensure that you are using the correct Relay  Define process and plan recipe  Enter recipe  Simulate and test system

Internal usage only 14 Typical recipe  Process description (single scale) - Add 300 kg of MP2 (water) - Wait for 34 seconds - Add 25 kg of MP3 (paste) - Wait for temperature to reach 50 deg (mix during this period) - Empty Scale, MP5 (discharge cycle)  Process Notes: - After adding paste, an O/P from the Matroller must trigger a heat phase of a separate temperature controller. Once the target temp has been reached an O/P of the temp controller will turn on, this O/P will trigger the next phase of the recipe  In PAC database, configure: - Scale A as Channel 1 - MP2 as GIW, Channel 1, Spill, water - MP3 as GIW, Channel 1, K1, paste - MP5 as LIW, Channel 1, DTE, discharge, destination as 255

Internal usage only 15 Wiring to the field  Connect MP2, 3 and 6 field wires to Relays 2, 3 and 6  Matroller MF O/P 4 connected to Relay x (ref: official schematic)  Temp controller O/P connected to MF I/P 2  Provide correct voltage for field devices  QBCompact O/Ps are potential free contacts, an external voltage must be supplied for powering the field devices

Internal usage only 16 Recipe Structure  The following information is required to be entered into a recipe - Recipe name (16 characters ) - Channel # ( 1 Char ) - MP # (2 Chars ) - Type (GIW, LIW, Event, Timer, Hand Add) - Target (6 Chars) - Pos Tolerance (6 Chars) - Neg Tolerance (6 Chars)  The Matroller will prompt you through each step

Internal usage only 17 Misc Information  MF I/P # 3 is used to pause the process at the end or start of a physical feed.  This can be connected to a PLC O/P which could be used as an interlock between the PLC and the batching process. The PLC will then provide an OK to feed signal.  When starting a recipe you will be prompted to enter in the number of required batches, enter in a number from 1 (default) to 98.  Entering 99 will result in an infinite number of batches (continuous cycle)  The MPs will “wrap around after  Timers
