Gravimetric Batch Blenders w/Mitsubishi Control Chapter 2: Functional Description 21
Operator Control Panel
The operator control panel includes a 8 foot (2.4 m) cable and can be remote mounted (not
recommended) adjacent to the blender. The panel can be unplugged and removed if
necessary.
The controller includes an embedded computer. This design provides excellent blender
performance along with an easily replaceable control panel in the unlikely failure of any
computer or electronic part.
The display menu format is very simple. After installation and setup, simply enter in the
recipe and start the blender. See figures 7, 8 and 9 for controller pushbutton & touchscreen
tags along with typical setup and operator screens.
If it is desired to have a local display and control of the blender closer to a remote operator
station, an optional RS485 remote control panel (RCP) is available.
