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.

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
Readouts
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 information.
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.
4. The lower half of the display is used for various visualizations: the large-scale display of an individual
reading, the display of 4 readings in line font size or the display of as many as 9 readings that can be ad-
justed 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.
▪ It 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 sig-
naled through a relay output.

Operating philosophy
▪ Operator guidance through menus on several levels. Important configuration and calibration functions
are secured via a password.
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 P02.06Feeder Start and P02.07Feedrate Setpoint parameters.
Monitoring for minimum and maximum limit values

▪ for feed rate, belt load and belt speed The limit values, relay outputs and event classes are separately
definable for all 6 possibilities.
Mains power failure

▪ Scales data, calibration data, counter readings and quantity pulses not yet issued remain saved for unli-
mited time after a mains power failure, and the time for approx. 5 days.
Belt speed
▪ The belt speed is recorded with a speed pick-up.
Zero setting
▪ 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

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

General Diagram
Tare
▪ Taring is a calibration procedure in which the influence of the empty belt on the measuring signal, the
basic tare, is determined. After taring, the total remains unchanged over one belt circuit with the empty
belt. The call-up is protected by a password.
Measuring at dispatch: VAP

▪ For reasons of design, the weighing platform is not located directly at the material dispatch point. This
means that if the belt load changes, the measurement result for the feed rate will not accord precisely
with the current feed rate at the dispatch point. Measurement is relocated to the material dispatch point
using a special 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 via the bin
feeder.
▪ The turn-off point and the utilization of "dribble feed" can be automatically adapted.
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 through the appearance of an event in the display

▪ For the voltage supply's operating time, for the scale's operating time and for the next zero setting.
Calibration
▪ Calibration of the pick-up input is not necessary. Certain design data on the load cells, velocity sensor,
inclination of the conveyor belt, etc. must be entered. From this data, the device calculates all required
standardizations for the displays. The control or readjustment can take place using two different me-
thods.
▪ Control with material: the result of a material inspection is entered into the device and serves to correct
the measurement result.
▪ Control with calibration weight: the standardization is controlled or, if the technical data (lever ratio, belt
conveyor inclination etc.) is not precisely known, it can be corrected.
In due course, the program also becomes suitable for the verification of mechanical changes, for exam-
ple twisting of the weighing platform due to movement of the foundations.

7.1 Types of operation
You can change between these types of operation with the GravimetricVolumetric Mode and Volumetric
Synchronous functions.
Display:
V is shown in the header and status line and VOL is shown in the service values in volumetric operation. V is
shown in the header and status line and VOL-S 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 work 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. There is the message SC01 Event: Setpoint
Limited with larger inputs.

Mode functions
Volumetric Operation:
The drive motor for the conveyor belt or material prefeeder is regulated proportional to the setpoint. The belt
load does not have any impact.
The feed rate approximately equals the specified setpoint under rated 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.
Volumetric synchronous operation:

In contrast to volumetric operation, it is not the rated belt load that is used for calculating the current target
belt speed. Instead, it is the current belt load before changing over. That means that changing over is jerk-
free.
7.2 Keyboard operation ON/OFF
The Start Keyboard Mode function can be used to put the preselected operating sources on the keyboard of
INTECONT for turning on/off and specifying the setpoint and target batching values.
Deselecting with Stop Keyboard Mode makes the old sources function again.
When changing from an external source (such as serial) to the keyboard, the on-off status and
the setpoints are retained. The external signals act in the opposite direction. It is still possible to see a prese-
lected external setpoint.
Display:
Keyboard operation is indicated by OP in the status line.
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 materi-
al flow is interrupted when it is off and the scale can be tared, etc.

The 3 adjustment programs that provide basic and secondary calibration are available in this menu along
with the >0< Zero Set and Set Time functions.
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. A total is not recorded during the
running term of a program until acknowledgement. Instead, analog outputs are set to the amount of lift and
event information is not shown.

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 adjustment program only has to be called up.

▪ At initial calibration
▪ when a new belt is mounted or the belt tension was substantially changed
▪ when one of the P02.04 Pulses per length or P02.05 Nominal Speed parameters was changed on scales
with or without speed measurement
The amount of impulses given by the velocity sensor for one belt circuit is calculated. 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 with no speed measurement.
Preconditions:
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
Note: Belt conveyor drive and prefeeder are not controlled by the set-up program. The setup program will be
interrupted with a corresponding message if one of the preconditions is not met.
Sequence:
Calibration
LB: Pulses/Belt
Abort possible at any time
While the program is running, the remaining seconds of the program running time and the impulses of the
velocity sensor added up are shown in the display.
LB: Calibration active is shown in the header.

After ending the program, the mean of the belt speed is shown in the display over the entire running term
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 taken over. Aborted ! is shown in the header.
The procedure is identical for models without velocity measurement.

Specific Messages:
Start ! when the belt is not running,
Volumetric ! when it is gravimetrically active
Note:
The program routine is slightly different if there is a P12.03 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 weigh-
feeders. This value is used to correct the ongoing measuring results in normal operation. Taring and zero
setting must be differentiated.
Tare: Recording of the base tares (weight of mechanics, belt conveyor etc.) during com-
missioning, service and maintenance
Zero: Recording the operational zero deviation such as soiling

The maximum correction stroke of the zero setting program is limited; that of the tare program is not.
After taring, the zeroing program bases the permissible correction deviation on the new reference
value.
Preconditions :
1. Under no circumstances may there be any material on the belt. The prefeeder can be controlled with
Feeder ON/OFF function.
2. The mechanical equipment within the scales area must be cleaned. Deposits may remain that develop
again immediately in normal operation.
4. The belt conveyor must be running. Notice is given automatically.

Sequence:

TW: Tare
While the program is running, it shows the remaining running period in % of the entire running period and
the continually meaned tare in % of the rated belt load in the display.
TW: Calibration active is shown in the header
After ending the program, it 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 in the display.
Dev = + : tare has increased
Dev = + : tare has decreased
The message TW: wait for Confirmation in the header reports the end of the program and requests user
input.
The result is accepted and stored in parameters P04.04 Basic Tare. At the same
time, P04.05 Tare Correction is set to zero.
The result is not adopted, the scales will not be tared.
Specific Messages:

NOTE
The tare may exceed 100 % by using the rated belt load as reference.
CAUTION
If the deviation 'Dev' is significant (>20 %), this may indicate a me-
chanical fault.
The weighing platform must then be checked for jammed material particles.
If BIC is active (P12.05 BIC Active = YES), the tare vectors of BIC are initialized with the taring program.
8.4 Weight Check CW
Using this program, the turndown of the device can be controlled. 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 belt circuits. The result is compared to a predetermined reference value and then displayed.
No automatic correction is performed.
Suitable calibration weights are available as accessories.
Preconditions:
1. Tare or zero
2. Key in the calibration weight in P03.08 parameters. The calibration weight should be between 30 % and
100 % of the rated bridge load Qo.
Qo = qo * Leff qo = Nominal Belt Load, parameters P04.01

Leff = Effective Platform Length, parameters P03.05
1. Attach the calibration weight at the place provided.

3. The scale has to run in volumetric operation. Notice is given automatically.

NOTE
If no calibration weight is mounted, the zero point of the scales can be checked with this program.
Evaluating the results

Error < 1 % KOR = 0.99 ... 1.01
The scales condition is fine, no further measures are necessary.
Error < 5 % KOR = 0.95 ... 1.05
Enter the value KOR into parameters D 02. Of course, this is only effective if the
result of a material control has not yet been allowed for in the parameters.
Error > 5 % KOR < 0.95 or KOR > 1.05
Deviations of several percent indicate incorrectly entered technical data (e.g. un-
known exact belt incline, levers, etc.) or mechanical errors (alignment, 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 entire belt issupported on one side, the following applies
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 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
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 val-
ue '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 accura-
cy 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.
12.6 Test with Material
Each test or calibration with calibration weights can only approximate the actual operating conditions. Scales
with highly accurate measurement can only be achieved by several measurements made using material and
a subsequent correction. It is corrected with Range Correction P04.02.
The following items must be observed:
1. The route from the weighing platform 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 collection point, material
must be conveyed for approx. 1/2 hour before any inspection 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 scales must be
cleaned and re-weighed (tared) before each filling.
For example:
Old value of P04.02 = 1
A material quantity of 4.9 t is conveyed over a time period of 15 minutes. The count read on the unit is 5.0 t.
P04.02 (new) = 1 * 4.9/5.0 = 0.98
The calculated value should be keyed into P04.02.

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.

Alternative: STANDARD
UNIVERS
STANDARD: standard controller adjustment for weighfeeder application.
UNIVERS: User-defined controller adjustment for special cases (refer to appendix).
The appendix contains a detailed wiring diagram and applications for special cases.
Caution The parameters from P10.08 are written on the default values again when chang-
ing from UNIVERS to STANDARD.
P14.02 P-Component KP Default: 0.04 mA/%

Min: 0 mA/% Max: 1000 mA/%
Proportional component of the feed rate regulator.
Special case: KP = 0 results in an I-regulator

Parameters
P14.03 I-Component TN Default: 1 s

Min: 0 s Max: 60000 s
Reset time (integral component) for the feed rate regulator.
The reset time TN is the time in which the change to the actuating variable produced by the
I-component is the same as that produced by the P-component (P14.02).
Special cases:
a) KP = 0 : I-regulator
TN is the reciprocal value of the integration constants KI, i.e. a larger value means a slower
regulator.
KI = 1/TN TN in %/(mA/s)
b) TN = 0 : P-regulator
The I-component is cleared.
C) KP = TN = 0 : Regulator output = increase in P14.13 Controller Magnitude Offset
P14.04 Filter: Deviation Default: 3 s

P14.05 Time Deviation Default: 20 s

Min: 0 s Max: 600 s
Time for which a control deviation above the threshold in P14.06 Threshold Deviation will
be tolerated. The event 'control deviation' is recognized once the time has been exceeded.
Simultaneously, P14.05 Time Deviation functions as a time constant for the filter that con-
tains the value of the control deviation. A 'control deviation' event is also recognized if the
filtered result exceeds the threshold value P14.08 Deviation abs. max..
See also:
P14.06 Threshold Deviation
P14.07 Factor Deviation
P14.08 Deviation abs. max.
P14.09 Event: Deviation
P14.06 Threshold Deviation Default: 5 %

Min: 0 % Max: 100 %
Maximum permissible control deviation.
Reference: P02.02 Nominal Flow Rate.
Also refer to: P14.05 Time Deviation, P14.09 Event: Deviation

Parameters
P14.07 Factor Deviation Default: 1

Min: 0 Max: 1
An event message as per P14.09 Event: Deviation will be identified if the absolute value of
the control deviation for the duration P14.05 Time Deviation is greater than the threshold
P14.06 Threshold Deviation.
With a setpoint of 100%, the effective threshold is always determined by the parameter
P14.06 Threshold Deviation. For lower setpoints the threshold can be reduced with para-
meter P14.07 Factor Deviation.
Examples:
P14.07 = 0 : Effective threshold = P14.06 × Setpoint / P02.02
P14.07 = 1 : Effective threshold = P14.06
Also refer to chapter 'Appendices' → 'Feed Rate Regulation'
P14.08 Deviation abs. max. Default: 100 %

Min: 0.1 % Max: 1000 %
The amount of the control deviation will be filtered (filter time constant: P14.05 Time Devia-
tion). If the filter output exceeds the limit set here a 'control deviation' event will be identified
(P14.09 Event: Deviation). The filter is reset when the scales are switched off.
P14.09 Event: Deviation Default: W1

Maximum control deviation exceeded. The actual feed rate has deviated to far from the
setpoint over too long a period of time.
Possible causes:
- Fault in material handling: the bulk solids flow irregularly or cannot be discharged suffi-
ciently well.
- 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: the controller was set at such a critical value during initial calibration that
minor changes in the overall properties of the system lead to unreliable operation.

Parameters
P14.10 Event: Controller Limited Default: W1

Event Group: CO Number: 01
The actuating variable of the feed rate regulator has reached the upper response threshold.
After a time the message HI-5 (control deviation) is also sent.
1. No material is flowing or material flow is irregular.
2. The external output regulator has been incorrectly set.
Steps to take: check the material discharge and the actuating variable (service value Y). At
the nominal feed rate, Y should be between about 10...14 mA.
P14.11 Lower Limit Default: 0 mA

If transfer is made with currents of between 4-20 mA, the parameter must be set to 4 mA at
least. P14.13 Controller Magnitude Offset must be set to a value equal to or greater than
P14.11 Lower Limit.
Also refer to: P14.13 Controller Magnitude Offset
P14.12 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:

- description of the effect of the upper limit can be found in the appendices

Parameters
P14.13 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 P14.13 Controller Magnitude Offset as for
P14.11 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:
P14.13 Controller Magnitude Offset = Y2
All other feeders:
P14.13 Controller Magnitude Offset = Y1
Note: P14.13 Controller Magnitude Offset must be equal to or greater than P14.11 Lower
Limit.

Events
15 Events
15.1 Events Details
15.1.1 Event Group: Calibration

CA01 Event: Error LC Input (P13.06)
The load cell cable is improperly connected, not connected or has been interrupted.
The load cell may be faulty.
Steps to take:
- check the cabling and the load cell
- check the load cell
Note:
The power supply must be switched off and on again if the scales still cannot be
switched on even after the error has been rectified.
CA02 Event: Tachometer Input (P13.03)

The input frequency is greater than 3,000 Hz.
CA05 Event: Linearization Error (P15.10)

Not a monotonically increasing curve.
A monotonically increasing compensation curve is monitored:

- when the linearization is switched on,
- when the parameter is altered
15.1.2 Event Group: Controller

CO01 Event: Controller Limited (P14.10)
The actuating variable of the feed rate regulator has reached the upper response
threshold. After a time the message HI-5 (control deviation) is also sent.
1. No material is flowing or material flow is irregular.
2. The external output regulator has been incorrectly set.
Steps to take: check the material discharge and the actuating variable (service value
Y). At the nominal feed rate, Y should be between about 10...14 mA.

Events
15.1.3 Event Group: Electrical System

WE01 Event: Power Failure (P13.01)
This event is identified once the power supply is restored.
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.
WE09 Event: Namur Error Tacho (P13.04)

A short-circuit or break in the cable to the velocity sensor.
The internal velocity value is set to 0 if a Namur error occurs.

The frequency display (service value) is still active.
The event message has to be on IG when connecting up other equipment (not Na-
mur). External Namur adapters and resistance wiring, etc. are not needed.
WE10 Event: Namur Error Belt (P13.05)

A short-circuit or break in the cable of the belt circuit sensor (BIC).
15.1.4 Event Group: Interlock

IL01 Event: Run Disabled (P13.07)
No release signal from the source determined by P16.01.
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

Events
15.1.6 Event Group: MAX

HI01 Event: LC Input > MAX (P13.08)
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:
- Shunt forces or compression ratios bring about incorrect load cell loading
- incorrect cabling
- faulty load cell
HI02 Event: Actual Flow Rate MAX (P06.04)

Actual feed rate greater than the maximum value set in P06.03 Limit: Actual Flow
Rate MAX
Possible causes:
- disturbance forces from force shunts or pressures acting on the weighing equip-
ment
- feed rate setpoint too large
HI03 Event: Belt Load MAX (P06.08)

The belt load is greater than the maximum value set in P06.07 Limit: Belt Load MAX
Possible causes:
ment
HI04 Event: Speed MAX (P06.12)

The belt speed is greater than the maximum value set in Limit: Speed MAX

Events
HI05 Event: Deviation (P14.09)

Maximum control deviation exceeded. The actual feed rate has deviated to far from
the setpoint over too long a period of time.
Possible causes:
- Fault in material handling: the bulk solids flow irregularly or cannot be discharged
sufficiently well.
- 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: the controller was set at such a critical value during initial calibra-
tion that minor changes in the overall properties of the system lead to unreliable op-
eration.
15.1.7 Event Group: Mechanic

WM02 Event: Slip (P12.14)
WM03 Event: Belt Skew (P12.12)

Belt has run off-center. Feeder is no longer operable.
Action: See Event: Belt Drift
Related threshold: Belt Skew
WM04 Event: Belt Drift (P12.10)

Belt out of tolerance.
Action:
1. Clean tail and drive pulleys.
2. Align belt.
Monitoring can be faulty. Watch belt circuit sensor service value; if need be, remedy
fault.
Related threshold: Belt Drift
15.1.8 Event Group: MIN

LO01 Event: LC Input < MIN (P13.09)
The load cell load is less than 3 % of the sum of the load cell nominal loads.
Possible reasons:
- force shunts or pressure ratios can reduce significantly the load on the load cell
- incorrect cabling
- faulty load cell

Events
LO02 Event: Actual Flow Rate MIN (P06.02)

Actual feed rate lower than the minimum value set in Limit: Actual Flow Rate MIN
Possible causes:
- no bulk material
ment
- feed rate setpoint too low
LO03 Event: Belt Load MIN (P06.06)

The belt load is less than the minimum value set in Limit: Belt Load MIN
Possible causes:
- no bulk material
ment
LO04 Event: Speed MIN (P06.10)

The belt speed is less than the minimum value set in Limit: Speed MIN
15.1.9 Event Group: Sequence Monitoring

SC01 Event: Setpoint Limited (P13.11)
Cause of the event:
Depending on the respective mode of operation:
a) The setpoint is limited to the nominal feed rate (P02.02 Nominal Flow Rate) in
gravimetric operation.
b) The setpoint is limited to three times the value of the nominal feed rate (P02.02
Nominal Flow Rate) in volumetric operation.
SC02 Event: Stand-By (P06.14)

The scale is in stand-by operation. That means that the setpoint is less than the limit
set in P06.13 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.
Steps to take:
Key in the larger setpoint and check P06.13 Stand-By Limit Value.

Events
SC03 Event: Maint.Feeder Run (P11.04)

The sum of the runtimes of the conveying elements is greater than the time 'Scales
ON' (P11.03 Maintenance Feeder Run).
A message occurs after each expired time interval. The message may indicate ser-
vice work required.
SC04 Event: Maint. Electric (P11.02)

The sum of the times during which the mains voltage is on is greater than the time
'voltage ON'.
A message occurs after each expired time interval. The message may indicate ser-
vice work required.
See also: P11.01 Maintenance Electric
SC05 Event: External Event 1 (P13.12)

Possible cause: depends on the external cabling. Usually: an error in the main drive
SC06 Event: External Event 2 (P13.13)

Possible cause: depends on the external cabling.
15.1.10 Event Group: System Message

SY01 Event: Memory (P13.02)
The program and parameters memory are checked cyclically. An error has occurred
during that. The scales will no longer function correctly.
Steps to take:
- load the factory settings
- Normally the hardware has to be replaced.
SY08 Event: Cyclic Communication (P19.03)

Cyclical serial communication with the higher-order plant control system has been
interrupted for longer than the timeout-period.
To rectify: check cable connections.

Events
SY09 Event: License Violation (P13.14)

The option selected in the P19.01 Protocol Type parameter is not activated.
It has to be cleared. Refer to the Option activate function
SY10 Event: Acyclic Communication (P19.04)

16.3 Replacing
Replacing INTECONT PLUS 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 unambi-
guous ID (the MAC address). An activation code is generated from this ID that is then keyed into the unit. If
the optional 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.

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.

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.

18.5 Sources of Setpoints and Switch Signals

Setpoint can be set and feed on and off commands can come from different sources.
Fig. 21: Setpoint and switching-in source changeover VWF
The sources are preselected with parameters in the Control Sources group.
You can use the Keyboard mode function to change over between the preselected sources and the key-
board (Keyboard Mode ON/OFF).

The effective setpoint is displayed on the operating panel. The setpoint entry field will only be active if the
parameters permit entry with the operating panel.
A new window for entering the relative portion will open when the setpoint field is touched if the relative set-
point qualifier was preselected using the operating panel.

Appendix
Setpoint Synchronization:
The external setpoint will be taken if the source is switched from an external source to the keyboard (OP).
The external source will take effect in the opposite direction.
On / Off Synchronization:
The on/off switch status is preserved if switching from an external source to the keyboard (OP). The external
source will take effect in the opposite direction.
Mains Power OFF:
The keyboard setpoints are stored.

Time Condition
1 Feeding does not begin with the on command as the all-clear signal has not been given.
2 To start, the scales requires the increasing slope of a start command.
3 Feeding is started with the increasing slope.
4 Feed rate control will operate in volumetric mode during the startup time defined in P14.15 (also refer
to: Volumetric / (Volumetric Synchronous) / Gravimetric Modes of Regulator Operation).
5 Changing over to normal gravimetrically controlled feeding operation (assuming gravimetric mode was
selected before). Regulation stays in volumetric mode (assuming the operator selected this ahead of
time).
6 Feeding will be switched off if no all-clear signal is received (or if the switch on command was re-
moved).
7 The feed rate will continue being calculated for the time set in P07.06 in order to capture the last trick-
ling material. Calculation will then stop; the counter will retain the value previously reached even if the
fill level in the hopper changes.

Tab. 15 : Relevant parameters
Behavior if alarm Triggered:

The feeder drive is switched off immediately if an alarm is triggered. The feed rate will continue being calcu-
lated for the time set in P07.06.
Measurement and display:
The measuring load will always be calculated and displayed. The feed rate will only be calculated with the
feeder switched on and during the stopping time (P07.06).
18.6 Regulation
Weighfeeder
A weighfeeder draws material from a storage hopper. The set and actual feed rates are compared and the
difference conducted to the controller. This changes the speed of the conveyor belt until the actual value is
equal to the setpoint.

Appendix
Belt weigher with controlled material prefeeder

The feed rate is set to the setpoint by changing the belt load. The belt speed is normally constant. An exter-
nal three-point step controller is needed with position-regulated prefeeders.
Belt weigher with a constant load

A non-regulated material prefeeder charges a conveyor belt. The belt speed is adapted by the controller so
that the belt load always equals the rated value. The fact that the weighing system always has the same
working point means it can achieve a high level of measuring accuracy. The feed rate at the discharge is
equal to the feed rate of the prefeeder.
An external performance level with anchor tension or speed regulation is needed for the drive in all cases.

Appendix
Modes:
Gravimetric
Controlled operation as described above
Volumetric
Uncontrolled operation, i.e. the belt speed or prefeeder is controlled proportional to the setpoint. The meas-
ured feed rate or actual belt load value is not taken into consideration.
Volumetric Synchronous
In contrast to volumetric operation, it is not the rated belt load that is used for calculating the set belt speed.
Instead, the measured belt load is used before changing over. That means that changing over is jerk-free.
The operating modes can be selected with a dialog function. Special start-up and empty running functions
can also be activated.
Operating sources:
Some operating functions can be triggered by various sources. For example, setpoint specification, turning
on and off, resetting the counter and acknowledging events.
18.7 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 P12.02.
▪ Activate VAP via VAP Active P12.01 parameters.

Appendix
18.8 Belt Monitoring
Drift and slippage monitoring is built into the functions. Monitoring is activated with the P12.03 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
P12.05 BIC Active parameters have to be on NO.
Procedure for activating belt monitoring

1. Set the parameters P12.03 Belt Sensor Active to YES
2. Key in the sensor length in P12.06 Sensor Length parameters
3. Key in the sensor width in P12.07 Sensor Width parameters
4. Set P12.08 Sensor Offset parameters to 0
5. Call up the calibration function LB: Pulses/Belt
18.9 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 P12.05 BIC Active, P12.03 Belt Sensor Active, P12.04 DI: Source Belt Sensor.

Appendix
18.10 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.
