Descriptive Annex 1
INTRODUCTION
The RCS Filling Machines APS200 (Figure 1) is an automatic gravimetric filling machine for dispensing predetermined loads of liquid. The instrument consists of a feeding device, a weighing unit, and a WM iS30 weighing controller (Figure 2). 2
DESCRIPTION
The instrument comprises a feeding device with 6 degrees of movement suspended above a weighing platform. The instrument is designed to automatically fill multiple containers situated on a weighing platform, with a predetermined load of liquid. 2.1
Mechanical
2.1.1
Material feeding device
Liquid is fed to a suspended lance via a pump. The lance moves with 6 degrees of freedom and controls flow speed with multiple actuators which are controlled by the weighing controller. 2.1.2
Weighing unit
The weighing unit is a load receptor incorporating one or more stain gauge load cells, designed to support and weigh container(s). 2.1.3
Load cell(s)
Any compatible load cell(s) may be used providing the following conditions are met: − There is a respective OIML Certificate of Conformity (R60), or a Parts (Test) certificate (EN45501) issued for the load cell by a Notified Body responsible for type examination under Directive 2014/31/EU. −
The certificate contains the load cell types and the necessary load cell data required for the manufacturer’s declaration of compatibility of modules (WELMEC 2, 2015, No 10), and any particular installation requirements. A load cell marked NH is allowed only if humidity testing to EN45501 has been conducted on this load cell.
−
The compatibility of the load cells and indicator is established by the manufacturer by means of the compatibility of modules calculation, contained in the above WELMEC 2 document, at the time of verification or declaration of EU conformity of type.
−
The load cell transmission must conform to one of the examples shown in the WELMEC Guide 2.4, “Guide for Load cells”.

2.2.2
Devices
The WM iS30 weighing controller is provided with the following operational features: − − − − − − − 2.3
Semi-automatic zero setting device (≤ 4% of Max) Automatic zero-setting Initial zero-setting (≤ 20% of Max) Zero-tracking (≤ 4% of Max) Semi-automatic tare-balancing (subtractive) Semi-automatic tare-weighing Preset tare Operation
Containers are situated on the weigh platform and the lance is positioned above each container. The operator selects the predetermined (target) weight set points and other operational inputs (in-flight correction, recipe, and delay time between ingredients) via the keyboard on the front of the controller. The indicator operates the feeding device via its digital outputs, in response to the digital input signals from the load cell(s) and plant sensors (e.g. container in place, etc). Multiple containers can be situated on the weigh platform and the feeding mechanism can fill each container then and automatically move to the next. 2.4
Software
The software identification shall be is designated sid.C686, and shall have version number ECn.06.xx with xx reflecting non-legally relevant changes. This information is can be displayed in the Bootlog Scale by holding “i” for 2 seconds. Any change to the calibration data, firmware version or legally relevant parameters will increment the non-resettable event counter. The event counter can be displayed in the Bootlog Terminal by holding “i” for 2 seconds then pressing the Clear/Tare key. Note: the zero key will switch the display between Bootlog Scale and Bootlog Terminal. 3
