2 Safety notes
To avoid personal injury and material damage, follow the safety regulations stated below.
Additionally you should also observe:
▪ Safety information given in order-specific documentation
▪ Safety information relating to mechanical components
▪ Instructions and safety instructions for parts manufactured by thrid-party suppliers or parts that are not
part of Schenck's scope of delivery.
When performing installation, commissioning and service work, observe all applicable local regulations.
Intended Use
The measuring system and connected mechanical components is intended solely for weighing tasks and
related control applications. It is not intended for any other use.
Risks
If properly installed and put into service the measuring system itself does not represent a hazard.
Hazards may arise when the system is used for control operations or for transporting weighed goods. Po-
tential sources of danger would then be add-on equipment that the material weighed is transported or me-
tered in. Residual risks may originate from the measuring system if unskilled operators improperly handle
the system.
This measuring system may be a component of a more complex system. The operating company is fully
responsible for overall plant safety.
Personnel
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 instruc-
tions given.
Changing parameters
The parameters dictate how the measuring system functions. Only personnel familiar with the device's mode
of operation may alter these parameters (e.g. after training by Schenck Process). Parameters incorrectly set
may cause injuries or damage to the machine whenever a control system is connected. They can also ad-
versely affect weighing operation.
Password
Password
Passwords safeguard the parameters against unauthorized alteration. The measuring system operating
company has to ensure safe password handling.
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.
Safety notes
Service and Maintenance

▪ Observe any warning symbols on the scales.
▪ 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 (pull the plug!).
▪ The devices may be operated only in the provided housings. There is danger of contacting live parts.
Moisture and Humidity

3.3 Functional mode
3.3.1 Measuring principle

principle
A free flowing stream of bulk solids is diverted in its direction with a solids flow meter. The force required for
diverting is measured and is a measure of the flow rate.
The amount of force is calculated from the theorem of conservation of momentum in physics where the bulk
solids' angle of entry and exit as well as the entry and exit velocity are applied.
The type of diversion and the way the force is recorded depend on the equipment's design type. Here are
two examples:
Fig. 2: The MULTISTREAM measuring principle
Depending upon the type of construction, various installation conditions should be observed that can be
found in any manual of mechanics.
With feed units, the measured mass flow I in control electronics is additionally compared with a preset
setpoint P and the PF feeder is controlled so that I = P.
3.3.2 Automatic control

The weighing electronics equipment can control the material feed into the measuring equipment provided
that the regulation has been activated per parameter P01.05. The controller is turned off with pure
measuring systems.
Principle
The targeted and actual flow rate are compared and the difference is fed to a controller. This changes the
flow rate of the PF material feeder until the actual value is equal to the setpoint.
Material feeder
Speed-regulated PF feeders (such as feed screws and starfeeders) require an external power stage. An
external position controller or a switching mechanism for the OPEN and CLOSE directions is needed with
position-controlled feeders (such as flow gates). The equipment supplies the control signal either propor-
tional to the desired volumetric flow or the control commands for opening and closing a motor position-
controlled feeder.
General Diagram
3.3.3 Control operating modes

The controller can be operated in various modes if the flow rate is regulated by the control. The controller is
turned off per parameter P01.05 Control with pure measuring systems.
The following modes of operation are available to the measuring device.
▪ Gravimetric Mode (regulated)
The actual flow rate is adjusted to the setpoint. The maximum possible setpoint is the same as Nominal
Flow Rate (P02.02). An event message is generated if the input value is too large.
▪ Volumetric Mode (unregulated)
The conveyor element setting is proportional to the flow rate setpoint. Measurement of the actual flow
rate has no effect on the conveyor element adjustment. The flow rate approximately equals the specified
setpoint under nominal conditions.
The setpoint is limited to three times the nominal flow rate. An event message will be generated if this
limit is exceeded.
▪ Volumetric Synchronous Mode (unregulated)
This mode of operation is a special form of volumetric operation. It ensures a seamless transition when
switching from gravimetric to volumetric operation.
3.3.4 Batching
In batch mode a preset quantity of material is discharged and the feeding is subsequently switched off.
Once the batch setpoint has been reached the batch operation is complete. A subsequent start command to
the feeder will begin a new charge.
Batch filling can be carried out in all modes and variants of operation.
The general procedure for batch operation is shown in the following figure:
Fig. 3: Feeding
The segments shown in the figure mean the following:

0: Start the batch with a preset batch setpoint in units of weight.
1: Interrupt batch operation by switching off the discharge element.
2: Resume the interrupted batch by switching on the feeder.
3: Automatic reduction of the flow rate towards the end of the batch.
4: End automatically once the predetermined batch quantity has been reached.

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 P02.03 Feeder Start and P02.04 Feedrate Setpoint parameters
(however, only with charging systems).
Mains power failure

▪ Scales data, adjustment data, counter readings and quantity signals not yet issued are retained
indefinitely after a mains power failure, the time is retained for approx. 5 days.
Zeroing
▪ It is set to zero without any material using a program that runs automatically.
▪ Zeroing should be started manually at regular intervals if automatic operation has not been preselected.
▪ The maximum permitted zeroing correction is monitored.
Zero drop out

▪ Suppressing totalizing with measurements around the zero point to ensure that the meter stays constant
at low feed rates. This function can be turned off.
Tare
▪ Taring is an adjustment process that ascertains basic tare. Call-up is password protected.
Batch mode
▪ Batch mode conveys a preset amount of material. The conveying process ends once the batch setpoint
has been reached.
▪ Changing over to dribble feed by reducing prefeeder performance.
▪ The switch-off point and using dribble feed can be automatically adapted.
Display filters
▪ For feed rate, belt load and belt speed.
Maintenance guidelines by showing an event in the display

▪ For the duty cycle of the voltage supply, the operating time of the scales and the next zeroing.
Adjustment
▪ It is not necessary to calibrate the pick-up input. Certain design data have to be keyed in. The system
uses this data to calculate all of the scaling 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 a calibration weight: Norming is checked or can also be corrected if the technical data is not
precisely known.
The program is also suited to verifying mechanical changes in later operation.

7.1 Types of operation

You can change between these modes of operation with the GravimetricVolumetric Mode and
Volumetric Synchronous functions.
Display:
V is shown in the header and VOL is shown in the service values in volumetric operation. Vis shown in the
header and VOLS. is shown in the service values in volumetric synchronous operation.
There is no separate status display in gravimetric operation, i.e. normal operation.
Characteristics:
All operation functions can be executed
All control inputs and outputs operate as set.
Gravimetric operation:
The actual value for the feed rate is regulated to the specified setpoint.
The maximum possible setpoint equals the nominal feed rate. Message SC01 'Event: Setpoint Limited ' will
be generated by larger inputs.
Volumetric operation:
The drive motor is regulated proportional to the setpoint. The instantaneous belt load has no influence with
belt-based scales.
The feed rate approximately equals the specified setpoint under nominal conditions. The setpoint is limited
to three times the nominal feed rate.
The calibration functions >0< Zero Set, TW: Tare, CW: Span Calibration and LB: Pulses/Belt can only be
called up in volumetric operation.
Mode functions
Volumetric synchronous operation:

This mode of operation is a special form of volumetric operation. It ensures a seamless transition when
switching from gravimetric to volumetric operation.
7.2 Keyboard operation ON/OFF

The Start Keyboard Mode function can be used to switch the preselected operating sources for turning
on/off and specifying the setpoint and target batching values to the INTECONT keyboard .
Stop Keyboard Mode will again select the previous sources.
The on-off status and setpoints will be retained when switching to the keyboard from an external source
(e.g. serial). The external signals are effective when switching in the opposite direction.
Display:
One part of the actual value display in the upper display area is the line containing information on the status
and process of the program. Here OP signifies that OP Mode is active.
7.3 Prefeeder
The Particip. Prefeeder or Stop Prefeeder functions determine the impact of INTECONT on the prefeeder.
This function is activated in normal operation and INTECONT takes on controlling the prefeeder. The
material flow is interrupted when it is off and the scale can be tared, etc.
7.4 Simulation
In simulation mode, all functions of the scales can be tested without material during start-up. The scales
cannot be used for normal operation during simulation.
Display:
▪ Event message SY14 Event: Simulation active
▪ One part of the actual value display in the upper display area is the line containing information on the
status and process of the program: Here 'SIM' signifies that Simulation Mode is active.
▪ This function can be turned off again with Stop Simulation in the same fashion.
Characteristics:
1. All operation functions can be executed
2. The actual feed rate is set at the setpoint feed rate for feeder systems. This value will be set as per
P02.02 Nominal Flow Rate for measuring systems.
3. Belt load and speed measuring are active for belt-based systems.
4. All inputs and outputs operate as set.

Afterwards you will be shown the dialog of the selected adjustment program.
8.2 Tare TW
The taring program records the zero point fault of the measuring system over an adjustable period of time.
This value is used to correct the ongoing measuring results in normal operation. We should distinguish
taring from zeroing.
Taring: Recording basic tare with service and maintenance
Zeroing: Recording the operational zero deviation e,g, from soiling

The maximum correction stroke of the zeroing program is limited while that of the tare program is not.
After taring, the zeroing program bases the permissible correction deviation on the new reference
value.
Conditions:
1. Material may not be flowing. The prefeeder can be controlled with the 'Feeder ON/OFF' function.
2. The mechanical equipment within the scales area must be cleaned. You may leave deposits that will
develop again immediately in regular operation
3. Switch off batch mode

11.1 Batching mode

A preselected quantity of material is dispatched in batching mode. When the batch setpoint is reached, the
system is switched off and the feeding process is ended.
Display:
If Batch Mode is selected, the summation symbol Ɖ appears in the header.
Relevant data in the middle and lower display zone: Batch Setpoint, Batch Actual Value and Batch Residual
Amount.
Before starting a batch, Batch Actual Value and Batch Residual Amount show the amounts reached by the
previous batch. Deselecting Batch Mode means that the displays are no longer accessible, although they
appear again with the new preselection.
The format of the display is determined by P02.05 Counter 1 Unit and also by P02.12 Z1-Numberstep,
depending on the application.
Preselecting batching mode

Preselecting the batching mode makes batching possible, although it does not initiate a batch.

12.1 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.
Parameter block Dialog Behaviour:

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

The Device Constant P03.02 parameter is important for adjustment.
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.
Parameter block Calibrat. Results:

No input is needed. Weight Correction P04.01 should be at 1 at initial adjustment. We recommend that
once you have entered the rated data you check whether the load cell becomes overloaded by the rated
feed rate.
12.2 Function Check

1. Turn on the equipment. The switch-on process depends on the preselected Feeder Start P02.03 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:
Load cell: The initial non-normed value of the load cell amplifier may not be any more than 2.85 mV/V
even when the weighing platform is at rated load. 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.
Startup operation
12.3 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 P03.04.
On beltweighers with parallel leaf-spring guides, the effective calibration weight is the same as the ac-
tual value. In other cases, the effective calibration weight can be taken from the data sheet, or can be
calculated 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
12.4 Check with bulk solids

Each test or calibration with calibration weights can only approximate the actual operating conditions. A
highly accurate continuous measurement can only be achieved by making several measurements with bulk
material and a subsequent correction. Material Correction P04.05 is used for correction. The following fig-
ure shows an example of the arrangement for checking belt-based continuous throughput metering.
Fig. 8: 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 has to be clean.
2. If there are any diverters they may not convey any material.
3. If there are any feed screws or air slides between the continuous measuring point and the collecting
point, material should be conveyed for approximately ½ hour before making a check. This will allow the
usual material build-ups to form on the conveying elements.
4. Dedusting should be set to a minimum.
5. The bins or vehicles in which the material is transported onto a (legal-for-trade) commercial scale must
be cleaned and re-weighed (tared) before each filling. The commercial scales must be sufficiently accu-
rate to measure the MW quantity.
The new value Material Correctionnew is calculated from the prior value Material Correctionold out of the MA
meter progress of continuous measurement and the mass MW calculated on the check-scale as follows:
Material Correctionnew = Material Correctionold * MW / MA

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 do-
cumentation. Together with the operating manual they make up the relevant control system documentation
for an application. The parameter list contained 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 arranged into blocks to for clarity. A parameter is uniquely identified by its block and
number within that block in the respective scales software version, e.g. 'P01.03' means 'parameter block 1,
parameter no.3'.
Parameters
Notes:
▪ Gaps can appear between block numbers and parameters within the blocks. In rare cases, the number
of a parameter may change.
▪ Furthermore, each parameter has a unique ID with which it can be addressed via an interface (serial,
fieldbus). This ID can be seen as a 'Tooltip' in EasyServe when passing over the parameter and can be
output in the parameter printout.

Scales are in standby operation, i.e. the controller magnitude to the feed drive is smaller
than the threshold value set in P06.05 Stand-By Limit Value. The feeder drive is switched
off. The 'running' state will still be displayed.
This function protects the motor from overheating at very low speeds or when idling.
Actions:
Key in the larger setpoint and check P06.05 Stand-By Limit Value.
13.3.2.7 Parameter Block 07 - Filters

The parameters of this group define the time constants of the filters for measurement and display.
All filters are of the 1st order (exponentially), i.e. approximately 2/3 of the final value is reached after the
time set if there is an abrupt change in the signal.
Long times result in a smooth, slowly-updating display.
P07.01 Filter: Actual Flow Rate Default: 3 s

Min: 0 s Max: 600 s

the control characteristics with an externally closed control circuit through the analog value.
P07.03 Filter: Load Default: 3 s

Min: 0 s Max: 600 s
Filter time constant for the display of the load on the load cell. The filter only has an impact
on the display, not on the further processing of the signal for determining the flow rate and
quantity measured.
P07.04 LC Filter Default: 1 s

Min: 0 s Max: 600 s
The load cell filters affects all load cell related measuring values. In general this value
should be left at the factory setting.
Note: filtering the load cell signal also effects the regulating action.

Min: 0 s Max: 2000 s
For this time after shutting off, the scale continues to record the resulting quantity conveyed
through the afterflow of bulk solids when the drives run out.

P08.05 Zero Set Difference is past.
Parameters
P08.07 Zero Drop-Out Active Default: NO

Alternative: NO
YES
The zero drop out function sets the display of the flow rate to zero when the load drops
below the threshold value in P08.07 Zero Drop-Out Active. This prevents the totalizing
counter from running on if measuring continues for a longer period while no bulk material
flows. This suppresses small, unavoidable tare errors.
YES: activate the Zero Drop Out system.

NO: Zero Drop Out has no effect. The small operating range is displayed at the measured
value.
P08.08 Zero Drop-Out Limit Default: 1 % Q

Min: 0 % Q Max: 10 % Q
Recording the total is suppressed with measurements within this limit around the zero point
to ensure that the counter remains constant when the belt is idle.

Continuous: The controller generally calculates a continuous controller magnitude as an

analogous value. If position-controlled prefeeders are used, the position has to be con-
trolled externally according to the specifications from the continuous value.
Stepping: The controller controls the position of a position-controlled prefeeder with the
digital Open and Close outputs.
Also refer to: the appendix for details on the controller models

Parameters
P12.04 Time Deviation Default: 20 s

Min: 0 s Max: 600 s
Duration for which a control deviation above the threshold in P12.05 Threshold Deviation
will be tolerated. The event 'control deviation' is identified once the time has been ex-
ceeded.

tains the value of the control deviation. A 'control deviation' event is also identified if the
filtered result exceeds the threshold value P12.08 Deviation abs. max..
Also refer to:

P12.08 Deviation abs. max.
P12.07 Event: Deviation
P12.05 Threshold Deviation Default: 5 %

Min: 0 % Max: 100 %
Maximum permissible control deviation.
Reference: P02.02 Nominal Flow Rate.
Also refer to: P12.04 Time Deviation, P12.07 Event: Deviation
P12.06 Factor Deviation Default: 1

the control deviation for the duration P12.04 Time Deviation is greater than the threshold
P12.05 Threshold Deviation.
With a setpoint of 100%, the effective threshold is always determined by the parameter
P12.05 Threshold Deviation. For lower setpoints the threshold can be reduced with para-
meter P12.06 Factor Deviation.
Examples:
P12.06 = 0 : Effective threshold = P12.05 × Setpoint / P02.02
P12.06 = 1 : Effective threshold = P12.05
Parameters
P12.07 Event: Deviation Default: W1

Maximum Deviation exceeded. The actual feed rate has deviated to far from the setpoint
over too long a period of time.
Possible causes:
- material has been incorrectly handled:
- the bulk material is flowing irregularly or cannot be discharged satisfactorily
- arching in the feed hopper
- there is a backup on the discharge side
- a large quantity of material continues to trickle from the feeder
- the controller has at times come against its limits

- error in the electronics
- check the cable to the external output regulator and to the motor. Check the output regu-
lator settings (current limiting, speed range)
- calibration error: during initial calibration the regulator was set at such a critical value that
minor changes in the overall properties of the system lead to unreliable operation.
Also refer to: P12.08 Deviation abs. max., P12.06 Factor Deviation, P12.05 Threshold Dev-
iation, P12.04 Time Deviation
P12.08 Deviation abs. max. Default: 100 %

Min: 0.1 % Max: 1000 %
The amount of the control deviation will be filtered (filter time constant: P12.04 Time Devia-
tion). If the filter output exceeds the limit set here a 'control deviation' event will be identified
(P12.07 Event: Deviation). The filter is reset when the scales are switched off.

Event Group: CO Number: 01
The Controller Magnitude of the feed rate regulator has reached the upper response thre-
shold. After a time message HI05 (P12.07) will be output.
1. No material is flowing or material flow is irregular.
2. The external output regulator has been incorrectly set.
Step to take: check the material discharge and the Controller Magnitude (service value Y).
At Nominal Flow Rate Y should be between about 10...14 mA.
Parameters
P12.10 Lower Limit Default: 0 mA

Lower limit for the regulator actuating variable.
If transfer is made with currents from 4 ... 20 mA, the parameter should be set at least to
4 mA. P12.12 Controller Magnitude Offset must be set to a value equal to or greater than
P12.10 Lower Limit.
Also refer to: P12.12 Controller Magnitude Offset
P12.11 Upper Limit Default: 20 mA

Upper limit for the regulator actuating variable.
With inputs lower than 20 mA the limit depends on the size of the threshold value.
Also refer to:

A description of the effect of the upper limit can be found in the appendices
P12.12 Controller Magnitude Offset Default: 0 mA

Offset of the actuating variable by a constant value. The offset takes effect before the limi-
tation of the actuating variable.
Generally the same values are chosen for P12.12 Controller Magnitude Offset as for
P12.10 Lower Limit.
Optimization:
- fill the feeder hopper with bulk material
- calculate the actuating variable Y1, the value at which the discharge unit begins to work
- calculate the actuating variable Y2, the value at which reduction of the feed is suspended.
For feeders that are operated with feed rate setpoints of 0:
P12.12 Controller Magnitude Offset = Y2
All other feeders:
P12.12 Controller Magnitude Offset = Y1
Note: P12.12 Controller Magnitude Offset must be equal to or greater than P12.10 Lower
Limit.
P12.13 Position at STOP Default: 0

Alternative: 0
Lower Limit
If the scales are switched off the actuating variable can be set to 0 or to the offset value
P12.10 Lower Limit.
Parameters
P12.14 Volumetric Start-Up Default: 0 s

Length of time it takes to begin volumetric operation once the scales have been switched
on. If selected, feeding will switch to gravimetric operation once the startup time has past.
This function improves the startup with an empty feeder.

The optional speed controller is also active during startup.
P12.15 Setpoint Offset Default: 0 mA

Input current offset for an analog setpoint of 0 % of Nominal Flow Rate.
This parameter takes effect only if P02.04 Feedrate Setpoint has been set to AI.

Min: 0 s Max: 600 s
Filter time constant for all displays and printouts of the control deviation.
P12.17 Setpoint Range Default: 20 mA

Input current for the analog setpoint of 100 % of the Nominal Flow Rate.

Alternative: NO
YES
YES-A
Saving the control magnitude before turning off the scale. The next start will begin with this
value.
NO: do not save

YES: save
YES-A: only save if the scale has not broken down due to an alarm
Parameters
P12.19 Bypass Default: 10 mA

The constant for the setpoint bypass (also refer to the controller figure in the appendix). The
bypass instantaneously passes on a portion of the flow rate setpoint to the controller magni-
tude to the feed drive. This parameter contains the current at which the prefeeder just sup-
plies the nominal flow rate (P02.02 Nominal Flow Rate).
Setting: operate the feeder volumetrically and set the bypass so that actual flow rate = set-
point. This value should be approximately 10 ... 15 mA. Otherwise the external flow rate
controller should be adjusted.
P12.20 Setpoint Filter 1st Ord Default: 0 s

The time constant for a 1st-order filter in the setpoint branch. Does not function for the by-
pass.
To prevent overshoot, the setpoint is decoupled from the actual controller

through a reconstruction of the controlled member. The setpoint filters P12.20 and P12.21
delay the controller while the bypass comes to the controller magnitude output without a
delay.
The filter is switched off with P12.20 = 0.
Also refer to: the controller figure in the appendix
P12.21 Setpoint Filter 2nd Ord Default: 2 s

The time constant for a second filter in the setpoint branch. Does not function for the by-
pass.
To prevent overshoot, the setpoint is decoupled from the actual controller

through a reconstruction of the controlled member. The setpoint filters P12.20 and P12.21
delay the controller while the bypass comes to the controller magnitude output without a
delay.
The filter is switched off with P12.21 = 0.
Also refer to: the controller figure in the appendix
Parameters
P12.22 KP Adaptation Default: 1

Min: 0 Max: 2
Setpoint-dependent review of the proportional component of the regulator.
This parameter is used to optimize the regulation action for small setpoints.
For example:
KP control= 1 : KP is independent of the setpoint
KP control = 0: KP decreases in proportion to the setpoint
KP control = 2: KP increases in proportion to the setpoint
P12.23 Setpoint Threshold Default: 0 % Io

This parameter can be used separately to set the control for start-up and normal operation.
Below the target value threshold in P12.23, the control deviation is multiplied with the factor
adjusted in P12.22 KP Adaptation before entering into the controller. The factor is set to 1
above the threshold.
Examples:
Target value threshold = 0: The proportional component is evaluated independant of the
setpoint as described with parameter P12.22.
Target value threshold > 0%: The controller input is evaluated with the parameter P12.22
below this threshold. The controller input remains unaffected by P12.22 above this thre-
shold.
P12.24 S: P-Component Default: 0.033 s/%

Min: 0 s/% Max: 1000 s/%
P12.25 S: I-Component Default: 3 s

Min: 0 s Max: 60000 s
P12.26 S: Threshold Response Default: 0.1 %

Min: 0 % Max: 1000 %
Parameters
P12.27 Compensation Element Default: 0 1/s

Min: 0 1/s Max: 60000 1/s
The compensation element is an additional integrator in the control deviation branch that
only
functions in gravimetric operation. It is used to
• overcoming the trigger threshold.
• reducing contouring errors with monotonically changing malfunctions.
• avoid the remaining control deviations with a non-symmetrical
control element and cyclical malfunctions.
The input and output of the compensation element are limited to 5 %. The parameter gives
the integration constant.
Special case: P12.27=0: The integrator is cleared.
Configuration for the compensation element to correct contouring errors. There might be
contouring errors if the volumetric flow rate depends on the level of a bin and the bin is
emptied.

The scales will not switch on automatically, regardless of the event class. The event
must first be acknowledged and the command to start given again before the scales
will restart.
Events
15.1.4 Event Group: Interlock

IL01 Event: Run Disabled (P11.04)
No release signal from the source determined by P14.01 Source Run Enable.
If this event is pending then the downstream transport equipment is most likely not
switched on.
15.1.5 Event Group: Material Flow

MF06 Event: Out of Tolerance (P09.05)
The batch result is outside the tolerance range.
Possible causes:
- highly erratic material flow
- altered feeder discharge behavior
- error in weight calculation due to disturbance forces
15.1.6
15.1.6 Event Group: MAX
HI01 Event: LC Input > MAX (P11.05)
The load acting on the load cell is greater than 110 % of the sum of the nominal
loads of the load cells.
Measuring range end:

125 % for load cells with 2.85 mV/V
175 % for load cells with 2 mV/V
Possible causes:

- incorrect cabling
- faulty load cell
HI02 Event: Actual Flow Rate MAX (P06.04)

Actual feed rate higher than the maximum value set in P06.03 Limit: Actual Flow
Rate MAX
Possible causes:
- bulk material shooting out of the discharge chute
- disturbance forces from force shunts or pressures acting on the weighing equip-
ment
- feed rate setpoint too large
Events
HI05 Event: Deviation (P12.07)

Maximum Deviation exceeded. The actual feed rate has deviated to far from the
setpoint over too long a period of time.
Possible causes:
- material has been incorrectly handled:
- the bulk material is flowing irregularly or cannot be discharged satisfactorily
- arching in the feed hopper
- there is a backup on the discharge side
- a large quantity of material continues to trickle from the feeder
- the controller has at times come against its limits

- error in the electronics
- check the cable to the external output regulator and to the motor. Check the output
regulator settings (current limiting, speed range)
- calibration error: during initial calibration the regulator was set at such a critical
value that minor changes in the overall properties of the system lead to unreliable
operation.

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.

18.3 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.

Time Condition
1 Feeding does not begin with the on command since the all-clear signal has not been given.
2 To start, the scale requires the rising slope of a start command.
3 Feeding is started with the rising slope.
4 Feed rate control will operate in volumetric mode during the startup time defined in P12.14 (also refer to:
Volumetric / (Volumetric Synchronous) / Gravimetric Modes of Regulator Operation).
5 Changing over in normal gravimetrically controlled feeding operation (assuming gravimetric mode was pre-
viously selected). Control stays in volumetric mode (assuming it was previously selected by the operator).
6 Feeding will be switched off if there is no all-clear signal (or if the switch on command was removed).
7 The feed rate will continue being calculated for the time set in P07.05 in order to capture the last trickling
material. Calculation will then stop; the counter will retain the value previously reached even if the fill level in
the hopper changes.

Flow rate regulation
A flow rate controller is only available when P01.05 is set to YES.
The flow rate is controlled via volumetric discharge performance of the feeder before the measuring unit.
The machine adjusts this performance so that the measured mass flow corresponds to setting feed rate
value.
Different types of feeder are used. Two different controller models are available for this. The controller
model is selected via P12.01.

PI controller with bypass details

The central control unit consists of a PI controller for the flow rate of the model
The standard PI controller is also equipped with a setpoint bypass (P12.19). The bypass quickly carries out
setpoint jumps even if the controller is set slowly. Beyond this, the bypass allows controlled (volumetric)
operation.
To prevent overshoot, the setpoint is decoupled from the actual controller through a reconstruction of the
controlled member (P12.20 and P12.21). The controller is also equipped with controller magnitude limitation
(P12.10 and P12.11) dependant upon the setpoint. The controller is stopped and an event is identified
(message) when reaching the lower or upper controller magnitude limit.
Appendix
The relationship between the controller parameters and the actuating variable is shown schematically in the
following diagram.
Parameter Special case

value
KP = 0 I-controller: TN is the reciprocal value of the integration constants,

i.e., the larger value = the slower controller KI = 1/TN in % / (mA/s)
TN = 0 P-controller: I-portion will be deleted

Appendix
Condition Characteristics
Change in the parameter The I component is not converted when parameters are changed which means that
values there might be jumps in the controller magnitude Y. If these jumps cannot be tolerated,
there should only be major changes in the (P12.19) bypass when feeding is switched
off.
Network connection The stored values in the I component and in the filters are set to zero.
Switch off feeding Stored components of the setpoint filter are set to zero. The value of the I component
is determined by P12.18.
Starting up feeding The feeder is switched on when all conditions are met.
The controller magnitude is set to the value of the setpoint bypass. The rise in P12.12
and the stored I component of the controller overlap one another consecutively as per
P12.18.
The setpoint filter starts working simultaneously from zero.
The flow rate controller works according to P12.14 in volumetric operation during the
start-up period. After the start-up period, the controller ts released and gravimetric
operation begins.
Standby The drive for protecting the motor is switched off if the internal controller magnitude
drops below the limit set in P06.05 longer than three seconds. The controller magni-
tude is set to the lower value corresponding to P12.12. It continues to report outwards
that feeding is in progress.
The controller does not function and the I component of the flow rate controller is de-
leted or stays stored depending upon P12.18.
Measurement remains active.
It switches to normal operation if the internal controller magnitude exceeds the limits
set in P06.05.
Gravimetric operating mode The actual flow rate value is set to the effective setpoint through the material feeder.
Volumetric operating mode Only the setpoint bypass and rise act as a controller magnitude. The feeder is con-
trolled proportional to the setpoint. The I component of the controller is deleted regard-
less of the P12.18 while the setpoint filters continue to run.
Volumetrically synchronous In contrast to volumetric operation, switching synchronously from gravimetric to volu-
operation type metric makes it possible to switch over from the gravimetric operating mode without a
bump by including the current controller output value.
Simulation The control circuit is closed internally in simulation operation. The measured values Q
and n are also simulated (Q=Qnominal, n = nominal speed).
The simulated value is shown as the flow rate. The controller magnitude Y is propor-
tional to the setpoint and is 10 mA specifying the nominal setpoint.
Operating modes, switching sources on/off and setpoint sources function as usual in
simulation operation.
The task: testing the plant, especially the control processes. Learning operation.
The characteristics in the The components stored in the controller are set to zero when selectively switching off
'Prefeeder – Stop' mode the feeder just as when switching off feeding. However, totalizing continues to functi-
on.
Tab. 21 : Characteristics in special operational states
Appendix
Monitoring control deviation

The control deviation is displayed and monitored in gravimetric operation only.
The display, but not the monitoring system input, is filtered by parameter P12.16.
Event message 'P12.04' will be triggered if the value of the error signal Xd exceeds the limit value S1 for a
duration defined in parameter Event: Deviation. Monitoring will restart if the error signal falls below the
threshold during this time.
At the same time, the control deviation value is filtered (filter time in parameter P12.04) and the filter output
is monitored. Event 'Event: Deviation' will be identified if the filter output exceeds the threshold value S2.
Threshold values S1 and S2 can be adapted to the current feed rate setpoint by means of the following
formulas:
S1 = P12.05 * [P12.06 + (1 - P12.06) * Feed rate setpoint / P02.02]
S2 = P12.08 * [P12.06 + (1 - P12.06) * Feed rate setpoint / P02.02]
The following diagram illustrates the relationship using with examples for threshold value S1.

8.6.2 Step controller

The controller functions as a three-point switch to moving position-controlled flow gates OPEN and
CLOSED and feed gates, etc. The controller model is switched on via P12.01 = Stepping and is only availa-
ble for feeding systems (P01.05 = YES).
Fig. 27: The simplified signal flow diagram of the stepping controller
Appendix
Parameters Effect
P12.24 The proportional component (P component) of the stepping controller.

The reference quantity is the nominal flow rate in P02.02
P12.25 Readjusting time
This is the time when the same controller magnitude change is caused by the I component as by
the P component.
P12.26 The trigger threshold in % of P02.02
The trigger threshold should be greater than the smallest possible step of the actuator.
The feeder stands still if the control deviation is smaller than the trigger threshold.
P12.27 The time constant of the compensation element
The compensation element contains an additional integrator (refer to constant controller) to bal-
ance out contouring errors dependant upon bin levels. The compensation element only functions
in gravimetric operation.
The compensation element is ineffective at P12.27 = 0.
Tab. 22 : The control parameters for the step controller
Value Meaning
Network ON Delete all elements to be stored

(the controller and compensation integrator)
Scale OFF The 'feeder ON' contact is reset and all elements to be stored are
deleted.
Scales ON The scale begins to work until the elapse of the start-up period in
volumetric operation.
Afterwards, it switches over to gravimetric regulation.
Volumetric operation Switch M to 'vol/start-up'
The feeder is set to a position proportional to the setpoint. The
compensation integrator is deleted and becomes ineffective.
Gravimetric operation Switch M to 'grav.' (drawn position).
The actual flow rate value is set to the effective setpoint through the
position of the feeder.
The compensation integrator is active.
Tab. 23 : Switching and operational states
Appendix
The internal structure of the step controller
Fig. 28: The feed gate control logic
The EXTERNAL part is not a component of the machine. It only shows a proposal for producing "local circui-
try" for connecting up to a model FAE8202 power unit.
Drawing elements Meaning
Switch menu The operating elements of the control unit or in EasyServe

Min The limit switch for the MIN feeder position
Max The limit switch for the MAX feeder position
Tab. 24 : Some signals of the control logic
The 'Open', 'Stop' and 'Closed' switch positions are only available with manual control of the feeder.
The Min and Max limit switches keep the limit positions of the feeder from being overrun.
Appendix
18.7 Linearization
Before adjusting linearization, it is necessary to calibrate the measuring equipment with linearization
(P13.01 = NO) switched off. Then call up the tare function without bulk solids after keying in the relevant
parameters. Afterwards, it is necessary to make an initial measurement with bulk solids at a feed rate as
high as possible to check the proportionality factor P04.01 Weight Correction between the measurement
and feed rate (and readjust wherever necessary).
Linearization should be carried out at k (k < 5) measuring points with differing flow rates I(k) in the flow rate
zone relevant to production. We recommend distributing the points I(k) with equal spaces over the relevant
zone. There is an additional point at flow rate = zero that is automatically adjusted by taring without a flow of
bulk solids. The curve is continued at a constant gradient above the highest point. This is why the two high-
est points should be sufficiently far apart from another to correctly define the gradient.
Furthermore, the points in both axes have to be rising monotonically.
