1.6 Technical terms

Technical term Meaning
MEAG-P Combined scale and bagging control based on MEAG hard-
ware and software components. The MEAG display with the
extended keyboard is used to operate the control system.
BAG MEAG type for a single MSDB or MWBB hopper scale or
for an MWBW or MWPF-W bagging station.
BAG2 MEAG type for an MSDB-D or MWBB double hopper scale.
With this type of scale, double bagging capacity is reached
using the alternating dumpings.
BAGD1 MEAG type for an individual MWBC differential bagging
scale or an MWBI differential feed scale.
BAGD3 MEAG type for a triple scale system with MWBC differential
bagging scales or a MWBI differential feed scale. Thereby,
2 scales act as coarse feed scales and one scale acts as a
fine-feed. The system is also possible as double scale sys-
tem with one coarse-feed and one fine-feed scale.
EBD 1312 MEAG electronics (basic print; electronics module with pro-
cessor).
EBD 1314 MEAG extended keyboard (electronics module with addition-
al function keys in the control cabinet).
EBD 1316 MEAG Display (electronics module with display in the con-
trol cabinet).
EBD 1318 CAN IO expansion module with 12 digital inputs/outputs. Ac-
cording to the extent of the bagging control, a different num-
ber of these modules may be present (electronics module
in the control cabinet).
EBD 1319 CAN LC display (load cells) with an AD converter for the
weighing signal and 8 digital inputs/outputs. One module is
available per scale (electronics module is attached to the
scales).
LC module See EBD 1319.

2 Safety
2.1 Part of the operating instructions
These instructions are an integral part of the respective operating instructions.
Lack of knowledge of the operating instructions may lead to the risk of malfunc-
tions or impairments of the product.
► Pay attention to the instructions and respective operating instructions.
2.2 Technical condition

If the control system is operated when defective, then safety, function and avail-
ability will be impaired.
► Only operate the control system when in a perfect technical condition.

► Only operate the machine when the protection devices are functioning. See
respective operating instructions.

3 Description
3.1 Operating principle
The MEAG-P bagging control controls a bagging system. It is based on the
hardware and software components of the MEAG scale control unit. The “P” in
the designation means bagging (packer).
3.2 Design
The additional control unit is comprised of 3 parts.
3.2.1 Control cabinet
The control cabinet is assembled close to the bagging system.
It contains the following elements:
■ Master switch
■ Power supply
■ Safety elements
■ Motor outflow relays or frequency converters
■ Relay circuits
■ MEAG electronics
■ IO expansion module EBD 1320
■ Interface for plant control system
3.2.2 Control cabinet
The control cabinet is assembled in the bagging system.
It contains the EBD 1314 and EBD 1316 operating elements. See page 7,
chapter “Operating elements”.
The operation is connected with the MEAG electronics via RS-485.
3.2.3 LC module
Each scale contains one LC module. The LCs, valves and probes are connect-
ed to the load cell module.
The LC module is connected with the MEAG electronics via a CAN bus.

Chapter 4 Operation 7
(4) 35S3 Stopping the bagging process
Stopping is possible at any time. Initiated processes such as filling
the scale or turning the carousel are completed. The process
stops in two-stages.
Pressing the key for the first time = bagging stops without closing
belt. Key is flashing.
Pressing the key the second time = the closing belt stops. Key
lights up, when everything is stopped
(5) 35S4 Acknowledging alarms
Bagging is stopped if an alarm occurs. The bagging cannot be
started again until the alarm has been successfully acknowledged.
The key flashes the first time an alarm occurs.
The key lights up, if an alarm is still present after acknowledge-
ment. (Must be acknowledged later, if the alarm is no longer pres-
ent).
(6) 23S1 EMERGENCY STOP button
Immediate switch-off of all active elements (motors and valves).
All the initiated processes are interrupted immediately. Alarm A020
E STOP is displayed.
(7) 35P5 Alarm sensor (acoustic alarm)
The alarm sensor is activated when an alarm occurs for the first
time.
If the alarm was acknowledged with the <Alarm> key, then the
buzzer is deactivated.
