Configuring the Discrete Batch Application
11.7.1
Special cases in batch control
There are two common situations in batch control that may require special configuration:
Cleaning/purging the sensor tubes
In normal processing, the batch totalizer increments whenever flow through the sensor tubes is 
detected. If you will want to run fluid through the tubes without incrementing the totalizer, 
assign a discrete input to the Inhibit Totalizer function.
Ending the batch while flow is present
In normal processing, you cannot end a batch while flow is present. If you may need to end a 
batch while flow is present, assign a discrete input to the Inhibit Flow function.
Inhibit totalizer
Turns ON
Batch totalizer stops incrementing.
• If the Time Out batch control option is set to 
0, no time out alarm will be posted.
• If the Time Out batch control option is set to a 
non-zero value, a time out alarm will be 
posted if the time out period expires before 
batch totalizing resumes.
While ON
Batch totalizer does not increment. 
Turns OFF
Resumes incrementing. 
While OFF
Batch totalizer increments if flow is detected, 
whether or not a batch is running.
Reset
Turns ON
Batch total reset to 0. 
Turns OFF
No action taken.
Resume
Turns ON
Resumes current batch. 
Turns OFF
No action taken.
Start
Turns ON
Begins new batch. 
Turns OFF
No action taken.
Stop
Turns ON
Pauses current batch. Batch can be resumed. 
Turns OFF
No action taken.
Increment preset
Turns ON 
Sets the batcher to use the next enabled preset 
for the next batch.
Works only if a batch is not running.
Turns OFF
No action taken.
Inhibit flow
(1)
Turns ON 
Batch totalizer stops incrementing.
While ON
Batch totalizer does not increment. The batch 
in progress remains active, and will end when 
the batch time out is reached or when an END 
command is received.
Turns OFF
Resumes incrementing. 
While OFF
Batch totalizer increments. 
(1) Does not work during AOC calibration.
