4.1 General Description

Concept

Rotacheck is a control and validation unit for tank cleaning machines, in particular Rotary Jet Heads. Communication
is digital PNP to and from a PLC.

Rotacheck consists of a sensor unit with its sensing device located on the inside of a processing tank. The sensor is connected
to a sensor board where the signal is processed and communicated to the PLC.

The Alfa Laval Rotacheck is ideal for validation of the cleaning process inside any hygienic tank cleaned with a rotary Jet head.
It is available in two versions: Rotacheck+ with a built-in validation function and Rotacheck Basic with standard functionality.

The hygienic installation is guaranteed by using the new Alfa Laval full flushable connection, certified by 3A and EHEDG.

Rotacheck is designed for use in Ex areas.

Working principle

Rotacheck+
The Alfa Laval Rotacheck+ is based on an Alfa Laval invention which features unique teach-in and monitoring functions. The
teach-in function is used during a reference CIP run. During this first CIP run the Rotacheck+ stores time and pressure data
from the cleaning process.

In terms of cleaning jet intensity on the tank wall (hits) and the time between the hits from the water jet the reference data
represents a unique pattern for the specific process. Status is shown by digital PLC output as well as a visual light indication.

Afterwards, during production, the feedback from the integrated pressure transducer is continuously compared to the stored
acceptance window, and the Rotacheck+ digitally outputs a validated feedback. This digital feedback clearly indicates the
state that the cleaning proces is in.

The system feedback has 3 different outputs.

Rotation OK output: on when rotation is within acceptance window
Alarm output: on when cleaning is out of teach-in acceptance window
IDLE output: on when cleaning is not performed

Rotacheck Basic
The Rotacheck Basic registers when the sensor head is hit by the cleaning jet. Status is shown by digital PLC output as well
as a visual light indication.

The system feedback has 3 different outputs.

Hit output: on when sensor head is hit by cleaning jet
Alarm output: on in case of unit failure or constant hit (cleaning device error)
IDLE output: on when cleaning is not performed

 4 Installation

4.3 Mounting position of Hygienic Tank Connection

In order to ensure optimum signal quality, the Rotacheck

should be placed with an offset to the downpipe as close as
possible to the offset of the jets nozzles of the tank cleaning
machine in use.

Examples of difdiffer
ferent
fer ent of
offset:
fset:
Tank cleaning machine type Offset (E)
Toftejorg TJ20G 75 mm
Toftejorg TJ40G 91 mm
Toftejorg TZ-74 78 mm
Toftejorg TZ-79 98 mm
Toftejorg MultiJet 65 with 4 nozzles 98 mm
Toftejorg TZ-89 50-90 mm (depending on size of mounting connection)
Toftejorg TZ-750 115 mm
Toftejorg MultiJet 65 with 2 nozzles 115 mm

Deviations from the above given positions may work, but will influence the signal quality.

It is not recommended to go closer to the centerline, as there is a risk of having no signal. If the Rotacheck Sensor is placed
further away from the centerline, the number of times it is directly hit by a jet is reduced.

4.10 Calibrate - step 3 – Rotacheck+ (with TEACH)

Step 1
The Rotacheck Basic must be fully installed:
- Mechanically
- Electrically

Usage before TEACH has been performed:

Rotacheck+ where TEACH has not yet been performed, will show
similar functionality as Rotacheck Basic, except that Idle mode is
indicated by a flashing (mostly on) green LED.

Step 2

Calibration - TEACH
Method 1: Auto-TEACH
- Ensure that cleaning machine is commissioned, and its performance is approved by end-user
- Install Rotacheck+, ensure “green LED is flashing (mostly on)”
- Open top cap of Rotacheck+
- Start cleaning machine
Enable TEACH by pressing the blue button on sensor board for 1 sec and release after 1 yellow LED flash is seen.

Duration of TEACH is preset to 16 minutes.

- A red LED is flashing to indicate TEACH ongoing
- Let the cleaning process run for at least 16 minutes (the Rotacheck+ will teach-in cleaning pattern during this time)
- Every sensor hit during TEACH is indicated by a yellow LED flash
- Rotacheck+ will light up green when teach-in is finished
The TEACH sequence is terminated if no sensor hits are registered within a 4 min. interval.

NOTE
Longer TEACH intervals may be necessary in some cases, to secure proper calibration data. For example in case of
unfavourable placement of Rotacheck, see guidelines for installation, page 13. In these cases manual calibration according to
method 2 is recommended.

Method 2: Manual TEACH

- Ensure that cleaning machine is commissioned, and its performance is approved by end-user
- Install Rotacheck+, ensure “green LED is flashing (mostly on)”
- Start cleaning machine
Enable TEACH by activating input on sensor board, connector number 6, see table page 19.

TEACH will be performed as long as the input is activated, up to maximum 60 minutes.

For proper calibration TEACH must run for sufficiently long time. This is application dependant and must be determined on-site.
- A red LED is flashing to indicate TEACH ongoing
- Let the cleaning process run for at least 16 minutes (the Rotacheck+ will teach-in cleaning pattern during this time)
- Every sensor hit during TEACH is indicated by a yellow LED flash
- Let the cleaning process run for sufficient time (the Rotacheck+ will teach-in cleaning pattern during this time)
- De-activate TEACH input on sensor board, terminal 6 after the desired time is elapsed.
- Rotacheck+ will light up green when teach-in is finished

21
4 Installation

Step 3
Operation after TEACH
If TEACH is completed, Rotacheck+ will enter Idle mode.
- When cleaning is ongoing, Rotacheck+ compares cleaning parameters to the reference cycle.
- If parameters are within the calibrated values, a “Rotation OK” feedback is initiated
- If parameters are outside the calibrated values, the alarm function is entered.

NOTE
If it – due to special circumstances - proves too difficult to make a proper calibration, Rotacheck+ can be reset to “1st power up
mode”.
This is done by pressing the Push Button for 10 seconds, and release when 3 yellow LED flashes are seen.
After Rotacheck+ is reset it will function similar to a Rotacheck Basic, but with a flashing green LED (mostly on), when idle.

Back to 1st power up mode (factory settings)

Rotacheck can be brought back to 1st power up mode by pressing the blue pushbutton for 10 seconds and release when 3
yellow LED flashes are seen.

Feedback test mode – Rotacheck+ (with TEACH) only

Feedback test mode is a function that can be enabled after installation to validate proper function of the external wiring. When
the mode is entered, Rotacheck+ automatically switches PLC and LED outputs in 5 seconds intervals.

Enter Feedback test mode:

Press the blue button on the sensor board and release after 5 seconds when 2 Yellow LED flashes are seen.
This mode can only be entered from 1st power-up or Idle modes.
