Schenck make weigh feeder calibration procedure with Intecont Plus

1) Speed Calibration –
Take down the data from Technical Data Sheet
Calculation of Imp/mtr

Imp/mtr = Encoder Tacho Freq * Nominal Speed

Encoder Freq = ( Encoder pulse/ Rev * Motor RPS at 60Hz ) / Gear ratio
Encoder Frq = (2000Pulse/Rev * 30 Rev / Sec ) / 170
= 354 Pulse / Sec,
Note : 30 RPS = 1800 RPM at 60 Hz motor
Nominal Speed = 0.11 m/sec as per TDS.

Imp/mtr = 354 X 0.11m/sec = 3217 i/m

Or

For Proxy sensor applications…

Tacho frequency = Motor RPS * no of pulse per rev,
= 1800RPM
Calculated data enter in Parameter = B04
To enter this parameter go through following procedure-
1) Press Function Distributor Key

3) Press Enter Key

4) Press Up or Down Key till display shows “Enter Parameters”

5) Press Enter Key

6) Display will shows “Password ”

Enter password 07734 in numeric keys (Display will not show the entered data)

7) After giving password press Enter Key

8) Display will show “Block A

Dialog Behavior” (Display flashing with “A”)

9) Press Up Key till display shows “Block B
Rated Data”

10) Press Enter Key

11) Press Up or Down Key till display shows “Charact. Val. Ns

B04 3217.0 I/m”
12) Press Prepare entry key

13) Enter the calculated data and press Enter Key

14) To come out normal display Press Abort key at any time.

For Speed Calibration follow steps…….

Run the empty belt

Speed calibration follow steps given……

1) Press Function Distributor Key

2) Press Up or Down Key till display shows “Calibration Functions”

3) Press Enter Key

4) Display will shows “Password ”

Enter password 07734 in numeric keys (Display will not show the entered data)

5) After giving password press Enter Key

6) Press Up or Down Key till display shows “LB: Imp/Belt Circuit”

7) Press Enter Key

8) In run program display shows >. LB: 61 sec

11457 I/B

9) After program complete display shows >. v 0.0508 m/s

70932 I/B

10) After showing this display press enter key

The data will be automatically stored in parameter D06.

After completing speed program proceed for tare program.

2) Tare Calibration :-
There are two Tare calibration parameters,
i) Under Function Distributor without password (Normally this is used for operation
people). The name indicates “>0: Zero Set”
ii) Second under Calibration Function with password protected. The name indicates
“TW: Tare”
The difference between two Tare programs is as follows,
“TW: Tare”
a) Required password.
b) The result is directly stored in
“D04 Basic Tare” and same data are stored in “D03 Total Tare”

Before Tare calibration ensure the following,

1) Clean mechanical equipment of weigher in weighing area.
2) Run the empty belt with Nominal Feed Rate set point in volumetric mode. (reference
parameter “B02”)

Tare calibration follow steps given……

1) Press Function Distributor Key

2) Press Up or Down Key till display shows “Calibration Functions”

3) Press Enter Key

4) Display will shows “Password ”

Enter password 07734 in numeric keys (Display will not show the entered data)

5) After giving password press Enter Key

6) Press Up or Down Key till display shows “TW: Tare”

7) Press Enter Key

8) In run program display shows >. TW: 90.02%

Tara 55.32%

9) After program complete display shows >. abw 2.45%

Tara 53.20%

10) After showing this display press enter key

The data will be automatically stored in parameter D04.

After completing tare program proceed for span program.

Note: Tare calibration abw tolerance +/- 0.09 %

3) Span Calibration:-

Hang known weight on the weigh cradle, enter this weight value in the parameter C08.
To start Span Calibration follow the steps given….

1) Press Function Distributor Key

2) Press Up or Down Key till display shows “Calibration Functions”

3) Press Enter Key

4) Display will shows “Password ”

Enter password 07734 in numeric keys (Display will not show the entered data)

5) After giving password press Enter Key

6) Press Up or Down Key till display shows “CW: Check Weight”

7) Press Enter Key

8) In run program display shows >. CW: 90.02%

Set/Act 1.03

9) After program complete display shows >. CW 4.6kg

Kor 1.02
9) After showing display note down the value and enter in parameter D02

Important Formulas:
1) Feed rate or Flow rate = Belt Load * Belt Speed * 3.6,
(T/H) = (KG/M) * (M/SEC) * 3.6.
I = Q * V *3.6.

HERE, 3.6 = 1/1000 *3600/1

1 KG = 1/1000 TON,
1 SEC = 1/3600 HOUR;

2) BELT LOAD = WEIGHT ON THE WEIGHING CRADLE OR WEIGHING PLATFORM/

( PLATE FORM LENGTH * Inclination * Liver Ratio),

3) Belt Speed = belt length / belt revolution time,

4) Belt speed = Tacho Frequency * (Impulse/Meter);

5) Tacho frequency = no of pulse / sec,

4
6) Tacho Frequency = Motor RPS * No of Pulse per rev,(When Tacho proxy sensor is inside
motor shaft) here teeth wheel = 10pulse per rev.

7) Tacho frequency = ((No of pulse/ encoder rev) * Motor RPS) / Gear ratio.(when
encoder/tacho proxy used in pulley shaft).

8) Impulse / meter = (no of pulse / Rev (measuring media)) / (measuring media circumferences/
measuring media). (for Belt Weigher only)

9) Load cell output(mv) = (Excitation voltage(V) * Sensitivity(mv/V) * Weight on

platform(kg))/ Load cell capacity(kg).

10) Error = Actual – Measured,

11) Error % = ((Actual –Measured) * 100)/Actual.

12) Span correction (d02) = (Old Span * Actual)/Measured.

13) Measuring section = (a+a1+b+b1)/4 + (c+c1)/2.
