Safety notes
2 Safety notes
To avoid personal injury and equipment damage, follow the safety regulations stated below.
Additionally, you should observe:
▪ Safety hints given in order-specific documentation
▪ Safety hints relating to mechanical components
▪ Instructions and safety tips for parts manufactured by sub-suppliers or that are not part of Schenck
Process's scope of delivery.
When performing installation, commissioning and service work, observe all applicable local regulations.
Intended Application
The measuring system and its connected mechanical components are exclusively designed for weighing and
controlling tasks. Any use other than originally intended is considered inappropriate.
Sources of Risk
If the measuring system has been correctly installed and commissioned, it does not pose any danger during
weigh operations.
Hazards may arise when the system is used for control operations or for transporting weighed goods. Poten-
tial hazards may then arise from e.g. additional devices through which the weighed goods are passed or
metered. Minor risks may arise in these situations if the measuring system is used or operated by untrained
personnel.
The measuring system can be part of a more complex plant. The system operating company is fully respon-
sible for the operating safety of the system.
Personnel
Preparation, assembly, commissioning, operation, maintenance and servicing may only be carried out by
qualified personnel.
All persons working on the system are required to observe the safety hints and know the parts of the tech-
nical documentation relevant to their work.
The operating company is responsible for instructing his operators to observe all regulations and instructions
given.
Changing Parameters
The measuring system's functionality is determined by parameters. Only personnel familiar with the device's
mode of operation may alter these parameters (e.g. after training by Schenck Process). Incorrectly set para-
meters may cause injury or material damage. Furthermore they may also cause considerable disruption to
weigh operations.
Password
Passwords safeguard the parameters against unauthorized alteration. The measuring system operating
company must ensure that the password is handled safely.

Safety notes
Acknowledging Event Messages

Error messages may be acknowledged only after cause of fault has been remedied.
Ensure that any connected peripheral devices are functioning correctly before acknowledging an event. Any
connected control systems in particular must be in safe state.
Service and Maintenance

▪ All warning and instruction signs on the scales must be observed.
▪ The measuring system must be shut down before work is performed on mechanical equipment or peri-
pheral devices (control systems in particular). Take appropriate action to ensure that the measuring sys-
tem cannot be inadvertently restarted.
▪ Before performing work on the electrical equipment, disconnect the power supply.
▪ The devices may be operated only in the provided housings. There is danger of contacting live parts.
Moisture and Humidity

All scales parts, electrical components in particular, must be protected from moisture and humidity when the
housing is opened for e.g. maintenance and service. In other respects the protection classes of the housing
must be observed.
Design Modifications
Unauthorized modifications to the system and/or use of replacement parts not supplied by Schenck Process
voids Schenck Process's liability for any resulting damages. This especially applies to alterations which could
affect the operating safety of the system.
Replacing Components
Spare parts must meet the technical specifications indicated by Schenck Process. To ensure this require-
ment is met, only genuine Schenck Process spare parts should be used. When using other spare parts, the
warranty will be void.

General Diagram
3.3 Method of Function
A belt weigher or weighfeeder continuously weighs the quantity of material transported by a conveyor belt.
The feed rate is regulated on a weighfeeder according to a setpoint. A belt weigher only measures and it
cannot influence the feed rate.
Definitions
Q Belt load The weight of the material on a meter belt

V Speed The speed of the conveyor belt
I Feed rate The quantity of material transported by the conveyor belt per unit of time
Z Total Amount of material transported = Feed rate x feed time
Belt load Q and speed v are continuously measured and factored together. The result is the feed rate I, from
which the flow rate is determined.
Fig. 2: The belt load of the weighbridge is not legal for trade
The material is transported over a weighing platform located beneath the belt, limited by 2 carrying idlers.
The load on the platform exerts a force on the load cell LC through one or more weighing idlers. The mea-
suring displacement is approximately 0.2 mm. The measuring rolls are linked with the frame construction via
parallel plate springs. The load cell output voltage is proportional to the platform load. It is recorded with a
suitable measuring amplifier.
The load distribution on a single-roll weighbridge is shown by the white triangle. Only half of the force from
the weight of the material is passed into the measuring idler. The following conversion formula applies to the
effective bridge length with single-roll weighbridges:
Leff = Lg / 2 Leff = effective weighing platform length

Lg = total weighing platform length
Weighing platforms with more than one weighing idler will have a different factor than 1/2.
Therefore the belt load in kg/m totals:
QB = total load on the weighbridge.

General Diagram
Belt speed
The belt speed is recorded using velocity sensor D and converted into a corresponding pulse frequency.
Feed rate
The readings Q and v are standardized in the unit to the physical quantities kg/m and m/s and multiplied with
one another. The product is feed rate I.
I in kg/s
Q in kg/m
v in m/s
QB in kg
Leff in m
I in kg/h
3.4 Characteristics
Displays
The display of INTECONT Tersus consists of 4 parts:
1. You can give the technical name at the installation location in the header. A rotating symbol on the left
edge shows whether the weighfeeder is on or off.
2. The second line of the display is reserved for event messages.
3. The following two lines show readings that can be selected with the cursor buttons. These lines cor-
respond to the lines of the INTECONT PLUS display.
The lower half of the display is used for various visualizations: the large-scale display of an individual read-
ing, displaying 4 readings in line font size or displaying as many as 9 adjustable readings in the parameters
block Configuration HMI Values. They adapt their font size over 3 levels.

Event messages
▪ Events and malfunctions are shown by an alphanumerical shorthand symbol and title.
▪ The appropriate "uncoded text" for all subsequent events can be called up via the operating keyboard.
▪ This distinguishes alarms (red) and warnings that either have to be acknowledged (orange) or do not
have to be acknowledged (yellow). Alarms will shut down the scales, warnings will not. All alarms are
also indicated with a relay output.

Operating philosophy
▪ Operator guidance through menus on several levels. Important configuration and calibration functions
are secured via password.
The dialog language for fault messages, operation and service programs
▪ DEUTSCH, ENGLISH, FR-FRANCAIS, ES-ESPANOL, IT-ITALIANO, CN-CHINESE, JP-JAPANESE,
RU-RUSSIAN, HU-HUNGARIAN, NL-NETHERLAND at your choice or a loadable language (OTHER /
XX-NEW).
Dimensions
▪ SI units (Metric): kg, kg/h, t, t/h, m and cm
▪ NON SI units (English): lb, lb/h, t, t/h, f and inches
Turning recording the total or setpoint specification on or off

▪ This can be selected with the P02.06 Feeder Start and FALSE Feedrate Setpoint parameters (however,
only with charging systems).
Monitoring for minimum and maximum limit values

▪ For feed rate, belt load and belt speed The limit values, relay outputs and event classes can be separate-
ly defined for all 6 possibilities.
Mains power failure

▪ Scale data, calibration data, counter readings and quantity pulses not yet issued are kept for an unlimited
time after a mains power failure and the time is kept for approx. 5 days.
Belt speed
▪ The belt speed is recorded with a speed pick-up.
Zero settings
▪ The zero point fault of the belt weigher comes from soiling that adheres permanently or from other con-
stant factors. The zero setting records the zero point fault on an empty belt over one or several whole-
number belt circuits. This corrects the regular measurement in normal operation.
▪ Zero setting takes place with an empty belt conveyor with a program which runs automatically.
▪ Zero setting should be started manually at regular intervals if automatic operation is not preselected.
▪ The maximum permitted zero setting correction is monitored.
Zero drop out

▪ Suppressing totalizing for measurements around zero so that the counter remains constant during no-
load belt operation. The function can be turned off.

General Diagram
Tare
▪ Taring is a calibration procedure that determines the impact that the empty belt has on the measuring
signal, the basic tare. After taring, the total remains unchanged over one belt circuit with the empty belt.
Call-up is password protected.
Measuring at dispatch: VAP

▪ The weighing platform is not located directly at the material discharge point for design reasons. This
means that if the belt load changes, the measurement for the feed rate will not precisely equal the cur-
rent feed rate at the dispatch point. Measurement is shifted to the material discharge point using a spe-
cial velocity-dependent delay element. No special measuring sensors are required to do this.
Batching mode
▪ Batch mode conveys a preset amount of material. The conveying process ends once the batch setpoint
has been reached. The batching process can be controlled via the belt conveyor drive or bin feeder.
▪ The turn-off point and dribble feed utilization can be adapted automatically.
BIC belt influence compensation and belt drift

▪ This function makes it possible for the belt to record and compensate for dynamic zero point influence
with an additional belt circuit sensor and a metallic marking flag in the belt. This increases the scale's
short-term accuracy.
Display filters
▪ For feed rate, belt load and belt speed
Maintenance guidelines by overlaying an event in the display

▪ for the voltage supply's operating time, the scale's operating time and the next zero setting.
Calibration
▪ It is not necessary to calibrate the pick-up input. Certain design data such as on the load cells, velocity
sensors and conveyor belt inclination must be entered. The system uses this data to calculate all stan-
dardizations required for the displays. It can be controlled or readjusted using two different methods.
▪ Control with material: the result of a material inspection is entered into the system and it serves to correct
the measurement result.
▪ Control with calibration weight: standardization is controlled or can also be corrected if the technical data
(such as the lever ratio or belt conveyor inclination) is not precisely known.
In later operation, the program also becomes suitable for verifying mechanical changes such as the
weighing platform being twisted due to movement of the foundations.

The procedure is the same for all programs.
They have to be used in basic calibration in the order of LB, TW and CW.
All of them are protected from unintentional operation with a password. No total will be recorded during the

Select the desired adjustment program LB, TW or CW
Key in password 7353
Afterwards it shows the dialog of the selected adjustment program.

8.2 Pulse/Belt circuit LB
The LB: Pulses/Belt calibration program only has to be called up.

▪ At initial calibration
▪ when a new belt is mounted or the belt tension has been changed substantially.
▪ when one of the P02.04 Pulses per length or P02.05 Nominal Speed parameters was changed on scales
with or without speed measurement
It calculates the number of impulses given by the speed sensor for one belt circuit. Afterwards, the number of
impulses acts as a belt circuit identifier for the TW: Tare, CW: Span Calibration programs and zero setting.
This program should be called up at initial calibration as the first of all adjustment programs. This also ap-
plies to scales without speed measurement.
Conditions:
1. Measure the time for a belt circuit as precisely as possible and key in as theP03.02 Belt Circuit Time
parameters before calling up
2. The conveyor belt has to run
3. Volumetric
4. Switch off batch mode

After ending the program, the mean belt speed is shown in the display over the entire running period along
with the final result of impulses/belt circuit.
There is the request LB: wait for Confirmation in the header.

The results are accepted and filed in P04.06 Belt Circuit No. parameters.
The result is not accepted. Aborted ! is shown in the header.
The procedure is identical for models without a velocity measurement.

The program routine is slightly different if there is a P13.03 Belt Sensor Active belt sensor:
The new reading is shown for impulses/belt circuit after every belt circuit.
If the sensor is not correctly identified, it gives the Error Sensor message and the adjustment program is
cancelled.
8.3 Tare TW
The taring program uses one or several whole-number belt circuits to record the zero point fault of the
weighfeeder. This value is used to correct the ongoing measuring results in normal operation. We should
distinguish taring from zero setting.
Taring: Recording of the base tares (i.e., the weight of such things as the mechanism or
belt conveyor) when starting up, servicing and doing maintenance
Zero setting: Recording the operational zero deviation such as soiling

The maximum correction stroke of the zero setting program is limited while that of the tare program is
not. After taring, the permissible correction deviation of the zeroing program is based on the new
reference value.
Conditions:
1. There may not be any material on the belt conveyor under any circumstances. The prefeeder can be
controlled with Feeder ON/OFF function.
2. Clean the scale's mechanical equipment within the scales zone. Deposits may remain that develop again
immediately in regular operation.
4. The belt conveyor must be running. Notice is given automatically.

TW: Tare
While the program is running, the display shows the remaining running period in % of the entire running
period and the constantly meaned tare in % of the rated belt load.
TW: Calibration active is shown in the header.
After ending the program, the display shows how much tare departs from prior taring in % of the rated belt
load and the mean of the entire tare in % of the rated belt load.
Dev = + : tare has increased
Dev = + : tare has decreased
The TW: wait for Confirmation message in the header reports the end of the program and requests user
input.
The result is accepted and stored in the P04.04Basic Tare parameters. At the
same time, P04.05 Tare Correction is set to zero.
The result is not accepted and the scales are not tared.
Specific Messages:
Aborted !
NOTE
Tare may exceed 100 % by using the rated belt load as reference.

CAUTION
If the deviation (Dev) is substantial (>20 %), this may indicate a me-
chanical fault.
The weighing platform must then be checked for stuck material particles.
If BIC is active (P13.05 BIC Active = YES), the tare vectors of BIC are initialized with the taring program.
8.4 Weight Check CW
You can use this program to control the turndown of the system. This is done by loading the weighing plat-
form with a known calibration weight and automatically calculating the average platform load over one or
several whole-number belt circuits. The result is compared to a preset setpoint and then displayed.
No automatic correction is performed.
Suitable calibration weights are available as accessories.
Conditions:
1. Taring or zero setting
2. Key in the calibration weight in P03.08 parameters. The calibration weight should be between 30 % and
100 % of the Qo rated bridge load.
Qo = qo * Leff qo = Nominal Belt Load, parameters P04.01

Evaluating the results

Error < 1 % Set/Act = 0.99 - 1.01
The scales are in good working order and no further actions are necessary.
Error < 5 % Set/Act = 0.95 - 1.05
Enter the Set/Act value in parameter D 02. Of course, this only makes sense if the
result of a material control has not yet been included in the parameter.
Error > 5 % Set/Act < 0.95 or Set/Act > 1.05
Departures of several percent indicate incorrectly entered technical data (such as
levers or not knowing precise belt inclinations) or mechanical errors (such as
alignment or tension).
The current value of the P04.02 Range Correction parameter is not taken into account in the check.
This is why the control program will show the same KOR fault quotients after correcting with the value input in
P04.02.

12.1 Weighing Platforms
12.1.1 Effective Weighing Platform Length
The effective weighing platform length "L" is an important value for calibration. It is determined by the design
of the weighing platform and can usually be found in the technical data sheets. However, it is always expe-
dient to measure the length manually and to enter the exact value as a parameter. The hatched area shows
the load distribution on the weighing platform.
Single-Idler Platform
The load on the weighing platform is conducted via a weighing idler into the load cell. This can be done by
means of a lever system or without levers by means of a parallel leaf-spring system.
In this case, L is computed as:
Multiple-Idler Platform
Several weighing idlers are combined into one mechanical unit, the measuring bridge.

Startup operation
Buckled Platform
The weighing platform consists of two parts. The force is conducted centrally into the load cell. A split mea-
suring table can also be used in place of the weighing idlers.

Lg = Distance to the center of the material cone

Startup operation
12.1.2 Calibration Weight

The calibration weight simulates a certain belt load and serves to control the weighing system. It can have a
direct effect on the weighing platform or via a lever system. In parameters C 08, not the actual weight but the
weight affecting the weighing platform must be entered. The effective calibration weight QPRF is the weigh-
ing platform load in kg simulated by the calibration weight.
Single-

The calibration weight can theoretically be mounted at any point on the weighing plat-
form mechanical equipment. The effective load is always the applied weight QP.

If the belts are inclined, the extension or shortening of the calibration lever corresponding to the single-idler
platform must be taken into account.
Chain
Chain Calibration Weights:
If a chain curtain is placed over the weighing platform area, the effective calibration weight then becomes the
total weight of the chain in the weighing area.
QPRF = n * Lg * s
n = Number of chains
Lg = Overall weighing platform length in m
s = Weight of chain per m in kg/m

Startup operation
12.1.3 Belt inclination

In certain cases, the belt inclination must be entered as a parameter. The mounting orientation of the load
cell is the decisive factor.
At right angles to the belt conveyor

The angle a must be entered as the parameters. The load acting on the load cell is N = Q - cos a.
Vertical to the belt conveyor
0° must be entered as angle a. The full force Q acts on the load cells.
12.2 Parameter Input
A technical data sheet is part of the scope of delivery. It contains all important nominal and calibration data
acc. specification. We will therefore list only a few important pieces of information and some recommenda-
tions at this point. It makes sense to go through all of the parameters and consider the value entered.

Startup operation
Parameter block Dialog Behaviour:

Dialog language, display units and availability or security of the function block functions. The parameters
values will be converted automatically if the dimensions are changed.
Parameter block Rated Data:

Pulses per length P02.04 is important to calibration.
The dimension data should be adapted to the Nominal Flow Rate. Flow Rate Units P02.01 resolution should
not be greater than 4 ... 5 decimals for a quiet display.
The output frequency should not be any more than 10 Hz if an external volumeter is connected.
Parameter block Calibration Data:

All calibration and evaluation data are important and must be entered exactly. Most of the details can be
found in the technical data sheets. The effective platform length and the inclination of the belt must be
measured on-site. The inclination of the belt may only be entered for systems in which the load cells are
arranged perpendicular to the belt. On vertically-installed load cells, the effective angle equals 0°.
The inclination of the belt can be determined easily using a spirit level and a measuring tape. It is advanta-
geous to measure multiple times and to take the mean value of these measurements (h1, h2, …) as the
value 'h'.

Parameter block Calibrat. Results:

No input is needed. P04.02 Range Correction should be on 1 at initial calibration. We recommend that once
you have entered the rated data you check whether the load cell becomes overloaded by the rated feed rate.

F should be less than or equal to the total of LC Rated Capacity P03.04. Otherwise, the load cells are too
small for the required Nominal Flow Rate.

Startup operation
12.3 Function Check
1. Switch on the belt conveyor and scales. The switch-on process depends on the preselected Feeder
Start P02.06 source.
2. A rotating cross appears in the header as a progress indicator. If not, there is no clearance or the ON
button was not pressed.
3. Take any event messages which appear into account and remove the error.
4. Check the following:
Tachometer: The output frequency of the tachometer generator has to be less than 3,000 Hz with acti-
vated measurement. The value must approximately correspond to the information in the data sheet.
Load cell: The non-standardized initial value for the load cell amplifier may not be larger than 2.85 mV/V
even at nominal load of the weighing platform. It must change if the weighing platform is placed under
load (e.g. the calibration weight). If the value is too large, the load cell is overloaded. If the value is nega-
tive, the load cell may be wrongly connected.
The load cell load in percent, sourced from the sum of the load cell nominal capacities, should not be
larger than 100 % with nominal belt load.
12.4 Test With Calibration Weight
The test with a calibration weight makes sense because

1. mechanical or electrical faults are possible
2. calibration data can be unreliable (for instance, the leverage is not precisely known) and it is difficult to
measure the belt inclination
3. data may be incorrectly entered
The calibration weight should be between 30 % ... 100 % of the platform nominal load and be accurate.
1. Enter Calibration Weight P03.08.
On beltweighers with parallel leaf-spring guides, the effective calibration weight is the same as the actual
value. In other cases, the effective calibration weight can be taken from the data sheet, or can be calcu-
lated according to the chapter details/data flow images. The inclination of the conveyor belt has no effect
on the effective calibration weight.
2. Call up the CW: Span Calibration program.
Some Possible Causes of Fault:

Warping of the weighing platform, improper alignment, interferences in the load cell cable.
If you suspect any of these faults, repeat the check with a different weight.
Non-linearity is an indication of such faults, linear faults are more likely to be cause by incorrect data.

Startup operation
12.5 Belt Velocity Check
The velocity sensor frequency generator can be actuated in a number of different ways.
1. with a frictional wheel on the lower carrying run of the belt or
2. with the shaft of the drive motor
In the first case, the value Pulses per length P02.04 depends on the exact diameter of the frictional wheel;
in the second case, it depends on the gear and looping factor of the belt. So the velocity measurement
accuracy should be checked.
1. Establish the velocity of the conveyor belt using a stopwatch and a tape measure. Make several mea-
surements to be sure and then calculate the mean.
2. Read the speed display over the same period of time wherever feasible.
3. Compare these readings with one another and correct P02.04 wherever necessary. (new value = prior
value * speed measured/speed read)
This procedure can also be used to determine unknown characteristic values.

Check the space between the recording sensor and crown gear and reduce wherever necessary if there is a
known Pulses per length and large deviations.

Startup operation
12.6 Test with Material
Each test or calibration with calibration weights can only approximate the actual operating conditions. A high-
ly accurate continuous measurement can be achieved only by making several measurements with bulk ma-
terial and a subsequent correction. It is corrected with Range Correction P04.02. The following image shows
an example of an arrangement for verifying a belt-based continuous throughput.
Fig. 7: Arrangement for verification with bulk material
The following items must be observed:

1. The route from the continuous measuring point to the collecting point for the material must be clean
2. Any available diverters must not divert material.
3. If there are any feed screws or air slides between the weighing platform and the continuous measuring
point, material must be conveyed for approx. 1/2 hour before any verification measurements are made
This will allow the usual material build-ups to form on the conveying elements.
4. Dedusting must be set to a minimum
5. The containers or vehicles in which the material is transported onto a (legal-for-trade) commercial scales
must be cleaned and re-weighed (tared) before each filling. The commercial scales must be sufficiently
accurate to measure the quantity MW.
The new value P04.02new is calculated from the old value P04.02old using the counter progression MA from
the continuous measurement and the mass MW calculated from the control scales as follows:
P04.02 new = P04.02old * MW / MA
For example:
Old value of P04.02 = 1
A material quantity of MW = 4.9 t is conveyed over a time period of 15 minutes. The counter progression MA
read off the device is 5.0 t.
P04.02 new = 1 * 4.9/5.0 = 0.98
The calculated value should be keyed into P04.02.

Tab. 1 : Using parameter sets
Note: Parameters not required for an application can be faded out or declared 'read only' using EasyServe in
expert mode. EasyServe compiles a list of visible parameters that form an integral part of the system docu-
mentation. They, together with this manual, make up the relevant documentation of the control system for an
application. The parameter list in the operating manual contains all of the parameters, regardless of their
actual use in an application.
In addition to the parameter set stored in the scales, we recommend that after commissioning you keep a
copy of the parameter set in a mass storage medium using EasyServe.
The parameters are sorted into blocks for purposes of clarity. The parameter can be explicitly identified by
means of its block and the number in the block in the corresponding version of the scales software:
P01.03: Parameter block 1, 3rd parameter

Parameters
Note: Each parameter also has a unique number (ID) with which it can be addressed over the serial inter-
face. This number can be seen as a Tooltip in EasyServe when passing over the parameter and can be out-
put in the parameter printout.
Gaps can appear between block numbers and parameters within the blocks.
In rare cases, the number of a parameter may change.

16.3 Replacing INTECONT PLUS with

with INTECONT Tersus
In the beginning, INTECONT PLUS equipment was produced as the FIP model and then as the VEG 206xx
model starting in 2003.
INTECONT Tersus as the follow-up unit was also kept very similar to its predecessors in terms of its hard-
ware connections.
The EasyServe adjustment program (VPC 20150) can be used for INTECONT Tersus from version 19 which
makes it possible to conveniently change over from VEG to INTECONT Tersus.
The following tables show the connector pin assignment of FIP, VEG and INTECONT Tersus opposite one
another for all physical signals.

18.2 Set option

There is the option of clearing fieldbus coupling Ethernet/IP by software. This unit issues an unambiguous ID
(the MAC address). An activation code is generated from this ID that is then keyed into the unit. If the op-
tional activation is required on devices which have already been delivered, the data is transferred to the
Schenck process, and the generated activation code is reported back.
The Option activate function is only accessible when the fieldbus protocol is on NO or Ethernet/IP.

Analyze any event messages that may appear and rectify the fault.
Call up the function Setup - Service Values
a) tachometer
The output frequency of the tachometer generator has to be less than 3,000 Hz when the measurement is
activated. The value must approximately correspond to the information in the data sheet. If the frequency
fluctuates substantially at a constant belt speed, the Namur sensor of the tachometer generator is probably
too far away.
b) wz
The non-standardized output value of the load cell amplifier may not be greater than 2.85 mV/V even at the
rated load of the weighbridge. It must change if the weighing platform is placed under load (e.g. the calibra-
tion weight).
Value too large:

– load cell overloaded
– tare equalization weight incorrectly set (if available)
Negative Value:
– load cell connected incorrectly
– tare equalization weight incorrectly set
c) aw
Load of the load cell in percents with reference to the total of the rated loads of the load cell.
The value can be analyzed as per item b). aw should not be greater
than 100 % at the rated belt load.
If it is not possible to bring about a reasonable operational state in spite of all efforts, the test plug chapter
might help.

Appendix
18.4 Test Connector
A basic function control of the INTECONT can be carried out using a simple test connector. In this way an
error can be limited between the load cell with wiring and electrical equipment.
1. Connect the connector as shown in the diagram
2. Disconnect load cell connector X7 and plug in the test connector instead
The dimensioned resistances given result in the following service values:

1. Load cell signal (lc) approx.1.1 mV/V
2. Load cell usage factor (aw) approx. 55 % if C03 = 2 mV/V and approx. 39 % if C03 = 2.85 mV/V
If lc is in the listed areas, the pick-up input is free of errors.
Note:
With other resistances R1 and R2, the LC Raw is calculated to 500 * R2 / R1 [mV/V].
The test plug is available as an accessory.

Appendix
18.5 Starting and Stopping

The on or off states relate to the belt drive, the prefeeder and to measuring the flow rate. Belt load and belt
speed are continuously measured.
An effective switch-off command does not turn off totalizing immediately, but only after the P07.06
Afterflow Totalizer time. Stop commands have the highest priority.
Various control modes can be configured as per the P02.06 Feeder Start parameters.
Turning off or on with a digital input

The digital input functions edge-triggered. That means for example that if the scale fails due to an alarm, the
ON signal must be removed and applied again.
Turning on or off with the keyboard (OP)

Turning on:
▪ The ON key if there is no alarm and there is a release.
Turning off:
▪ The OFF key if the alarm or there is no release.
Fig. 22: Switch-on or switch-off with keyboard

Appendix
Switch-on or switch-off via belt speed

This switches at a belt speed that is greater or less than the Vmin limit value. It queries the non-averaged
measurement of the speed v. Refer to the P06.09 Limit: Speed MIN parameters.
Fig. 23: Switch-on and switch-off at belt speed
Switch-on or switch-off via fieldbus interface (FB)

The ON and OFF commands function as the corresponding pushbuttons. Turning on and off can be trans-
ferred to the keyboard with the Start Keyboard Mode function. It is switched back with the Stop Keyboard
Mode function.
Comments:
▪ No batching is possible after selecting v.
▪ The n/a setting in the P16.01 Source Run Enable parameters turns off the input. Then the scale is al-
ways released.
18.6 Measuring
Measuring at the Discharge Point VAP
Measuring on the VAP discharge point shifts the measuring point of the weighbridge to the discharge point of
the material by means of a time-lag device. The totalized amount of material dispatched is directly recorded.
Measuring at dispatch: VAP
Preconditions:
▪ The length ratio from the centerline of the weighing platform to the material dispatch to the overall belt
conveyor length is known.
▪ Key in the length ratio in percent in parameters Platform Dis.Length P13.02.
▪ Activate VAP via VAP Active P13.01 parameters.

Appendix
18.7 Belt Monitoring
Drift and slippage monitoring is built into the functions. Monitoring is activated with the P13.03 Belt Sensor
Active parameter.
The programs can only be used for belt monitoring if there is a belt circuit sensor (Namur transmitter) and a
triangular metallic sensor surface in the conveyor belt. Otherwise, the aforementioned parameter and
P13.05 BIC Active parameters have to be on NO.
Procedure for activating belt monitoring

1. Set the parameters P13.03 Belt Sensor Active to YES
2. Key in the sensor length in P13.06 Sensor Length parameters
3. Key in the sensor width in P13.07 Sensor Width parameters
4. Set P13.08 Sensor Offset parameters to 0
5. Call up the calibration function LB: Pulses/Belt
18.8 BIC belt impact compensation
Even excellent conveyor belts are never completely even and they become heavier and stiffer especially on
the seams. This is why it is normally only possible to guarantee a high level of accuracy over entire belt cir-
cuits (i.e. over the mean).
An additional belt circuit sensor and metallic marking flag in the belt enable the unit to record this impact and
constantly correct it.
That substantially boosts the short-term accuracy of the scale.
Belt impact measurement is constant to take changes in regular operation into account. Compensation
adapts itself whenever material is conveyed.
Relevant parameters P13.05 BIC Active, P13.03 Belt Sensor Active, P13.04 DI: Source Belt Sensor.

Appendix
18.9 Linearization
Linearization
The belt loading does not usually need to be linearized. It only makes sense with major belt load fluctuations
and simple weighing mechanisms.
Calibration with calibration weights:

Apply calibration weight Q1, start the scales and call up the zeroing program.
Key in the final result of zero setting program and key in later in Linearization I1 parameters.
Cancel the program and do not exceed the result.
Key in the result of the formula q1 = Q1 / L * 100 % / q0 in Linearization S1 parameters.

Where
Q1: calibration weight in kg
L: P03.05 Effective Platform Length
q0: P04.01 Nominal Belt Load
Repeat work processes 1 - 3 with increasingly large calibration weights for the other linearization points.
Calibration using material:

Perform a material check with a belt load q1.
Read the mean of the belt load q1(a) on the equipment and key it into the Linearization I1 parameters.
Key in the result of the formula q1(s) = q1(a) * Ms / Ma into the Linearization S1 parameters.
Where
Ms: conveyed quantity of material in kg
Ma: quantity of material read on the equipment in kg
Repeat work processes 1 - 3 with increasingly large calibration weights for the other linearization points.
