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 third-party suppliers or parts that are not
part of Schenck Process scope of delivery.
When performing installation, commissioning and service work, observe all applicable local regulations.
Intended Use
The supplied system is to be used exclusively for the specified task. Any other use which exceeds this shall
not be considered part of the intended use.
The supplied system may be part of a more complex system. The system operator bears overall responsibil-
ity for the operating safety of the system.
Potential Sources of Danger

Dangers may arise from the machine or from facilities that for example are used in the plant for transport or
feeding if control tasks are taken on by the system.
To avoid dangers the system must correctly be used, operated, monitored and serviced by trained person-
nel. Bear in mind that the system may be part of a more complex plant. It may therefore be necessary to take
more extensive protective measures before working on the plant.
The plant operator is responsible for the safe operation of the plant.
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.
Parameter Changes
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 pa-
rameters may cause injury or material damage, if control units are connected. Furthermore they may also
cause considerable disruption to the production process.
Password
Passwords safeguard the parameters against unauthorized changes. The measuring system operator has to
ensure that the password is handled responsibly.

Safety Information
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 attached warning and instruction signs must be observed.
▪ The measuring system has to be shut down before working on mechanical equipment or peripheral
systems (control systems in particular). Steps must be taken to ensure the measuring system cannot
be started inadvertently.
▪ Disconnect the power supply before performing work on the electrical equipment.
▪ The devices may be operated only in the housings supplied as there would otherwise be a danger of
coming into contact with live parts.
Moisture and humidity

All system components, the electrical components in particular, must be protected against moisture and hu-
midity when the housing is open, such as during maintenance and service work. Beyond this, the housing's
protection classes should be complied with.

3.3 Method of Function

A belt weigher or weighfeeder continuously weighs the material quantity transported by a belt conveyor. The
feed rate is regulated on a weighfeeder using a setpoint. A belt weigher measures only and 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 Totalized amount 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 feed rate is determined.
Fig. 2: Belt load weighbridge
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 load
cell output voltage is proportional to the platform load. It is recorded with a suitable measuring amplifier.
The load distribution on a single-roller 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-roller 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

Schenck Process Group - 11 -
General Diagram
Belt speed
The belt speed is recorded with the speed sensor D and is 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 is divided into 4 parts:
1. You can enter the technical name at the installation site in the header. A rotating symbol on the left
edge shows whether the weighfeeder is on or off.
2. The second line of the display is reserved for event messages.
3. The following two lines show readings that can be selected with the cursor buttons. These lines cor-
respond to the lines of the INTECONT PLUS display.
4. The lower half of the display is used for various visualizations: the large-Scales display of an individ-
ual reading, displaying 4 readings in line font size or displaying as many as 9 adjustable readings in
the parameters block Configuration HMI Values. Their font size can be adapted over 3 levels.

General Diagram
Event messages
▪ Events and malfunctions are shown by an alphanumerical shorthand symbol and a title.
▪ The corresponding 'plain text' for all consecutive events can be called up via the operating keyboard.
▪ A distinction is made between alarms (red), warnings that require acknowledgement (orange) and
warnings that do not require acknowledgement (yellow). Alarms will shut down the scales, warnings
will not. All alarms are also signaled via a relay output.

General Diagram
Fig. 5: Display - Alarm
Operating philosophy
▪ The operator is guided through menus on several levels. Important configuration and calibration func-
tions are secured via password.
Dialog language for fault messages, operation and service programs
▪ Optionally DEUTSCH, ENGLISH, FR-FRENCH, ES-SPANISH, IT-ITALIAN, CN-CHINESE, JP-
JAPANESE, RU-RUSSIAN, HU-HUNGARIAN, NL-DUTCH or a loadable language (OTHER / XX-
NEW).
Dimensions
▪ SI units (Metric): kg, kg/h, t, t/h, m, cm
▪ NON SI units (English): lb, lb/h, t, t/h, f, inch
Turning recording the total or setpoint specification on or off
▪ This can be selected with the parameters P02.06 Feeder Start and P02.07 Feedrate Setpoint (feeding
systems only).
Minimum and maximum threshold value monitoring
▪ For feed rate, belt load and belt speed. The threshold values, relay outputs and event classes can be
defined separately for all 6 possibilities.
Mains power failure
▪ Scales data, adjustment data, counter readings and quantity signals not yet issued are retained indef-
initely after a mains power failure, the time is retained for approx. 5 days.
Belt speed
▪ The belt speed is recorded with a speed pick-up.
Zeroing
▪ The zero point error of the beltweigher comes from constant soiling or other constant factors. Zeroing
records the zero point error for an empty belt over one or several whole belt circuits. This is used to
correct regular measurement in normal operation.
▪ Zeroing takes place with an empty belt conveyor using a program which runs automatically.
▪ Zeroing should be started manually at regular intervals if automatic operation has not been preselect-
ed.
▪ The maximum permitted zeroing correction is monitored.
Zero drop out
▪ Suppression of totalizing for measurements around zero so that the counter remains constant during
no-load belt operation. This function can be turned off.

General Diagram
Tare
▪ Taring is a calibration procedure that determines the impact that the empty belt has on the measuring
signal, the basic tare. After taring, the totalized amount remains unchanged through one belt circuit
made with an empty belt. Call-up is password protected.
Measuring at discharge point VAP
▪ For reasons of design, the weighing platform is not located directly at the material discharge point.
This means that if the belt load changes, the measurement for the feed rate will not precisely equal
the current feed rate at the discharge point. Measurement is shifted to the material discharge point us-
ing a special speed-dependent delay element. No special measuring sensors are required for this.
Batch mode
▪ Batch mode conveys a preset amount of material. The conveying process ends once the batch set-
point has been reached. The batching process can be controlled via the belt conveyor drive or bin
feeder.
▪ The switch-off point and use of 'dribble feed' can be adapted automatically.
BIC belt influence compensation and belt drift
▪ This function can record and compensate the dynamic zero point influence from the belt with an addi-
tional belt revolution sensor and a metallic marking flag in the belt. The short-term accuracy of the
scales is increased.
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 on the load cells, speed sensors,
conveyor belt inclination etc. must be entered. 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 cor-
rect the measurement result.
▪ Control with test weights: standardization is controlled or can also be corrected if the technical data
(such as the lever ratio or belt conveyor inclination) is not precisely known.
In later operation, the program is also capable of verifying mechanical changes such as the weighing
platform becoming twisted due to subsidence of the foundation

Mode functions
7.1 Types of operation

You can change between these types of operation with the Gravimetric Volumetric Mode and Volumetric
Synchronous functions.
Display
V is shown in the header and VOL is shown in the service values in volumetric operation. V is 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.
Properties
All operating functions can be carried out.
All control inputs and control outputs operate as set.
Gravimetric operation
The actual feed rate is adjusted to the preset setpoint.
The maximum possible setpoint equals the nominal feed rate. Message SC01 "Event: Setpoint Limited" is
output for 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.
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,
turning off and specifying the setpoint and batching setpoints 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 apply 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. OP here signifies that OP Mode is active.

Mode functions
7.3 Prefeeder
The "Particip. Prefeeder" or "Stop Prefeeder" functions determine the impact of INTECONT Tersus on the
prefeeder.
This function is active in normal operation and the INTECONT Tersus assumes control of the prefeeder. The
material flow is interrupted when it is off and the scales 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.
Properties
1. All operating functions can be carried out.
2. The actual feed rate is set at the setpoint feed rate for feeder systems. This value is set as per P02.02
Maximum Flow Rate Io for measuring systems.
3. Belt loading and speed measuring are active on belt-based systems.
4. All inputs and outputs operate as set.

Key in password 7353

…
Afterwards you will be shown the dialog of the selected adjustment program.

8.2 Pulse/Belt circuit LB

The calibration program "LB: Pulses/Belt" needs only to be called up:
▪ At initial calibration
▪ When a new belt is mounted or the belt tension has been changed substantially
▪ when one of the P02.04 Pulses per length or P02.05 Nominal Speed parameters was changed on
scales with or without speed measurement.
The amount of impulses given by the speed 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 zeroing.
This program should be called up at initial calibration as the first of all adjustment programs. This also ap-
plies to scales without speed measurement.
Conditions:
1. Measure the time for a belt circuit as precisely as possible and key in as theP03.02 Belt Circuit Time
parameters before calling up
2. The conveyor belt must be running
3. Volumetric operation (weighfeeder software VWF 20650 only.)
4. Switch off batch mode
Note: Belt drive and prefeeder are not controlled by the set-up program. The setup program will be interrupt-
ed with a corresponding message if one of the conditions is not met.
Procedure
Calibration
LB: Pulses/Belt
Can be aborted at any time
While the program is running, the remaining seconds of the program running time and the totaled impulses
of the velocity sensor are shown in the display.
"LB: Calibration active" is shown in the header.

After ending the program, the mean belt speed is shown in the display over the entire running period along
with the final result of impulses/belt circuit.
The request "LB: Wait for Confirmation" appears in the header
The results are accepted and filed in P04.06 Pulses per Belt parameters.
The result is not accepted. Aborted ! is shown in the header.
The procedure is identical for models without no velocity sensor.

Specific Messages:
Start ! if the belt is not running
Aborted !
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 records over one or several whole belt circuits the zero-point error of the weighfeeders.
This value is used to correct the ongoing measuring results in normal operation. A distinction must be made
between taring and zeroing.
Taring: Recording of the base tares (i.e., the weight of such things as the mechanism or belt
conveyor) when starting up, servicing and doing maintenance
Zeroing: Recording the operational zero deviation e.g. due to 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. Under no circumstances may there be any material on the belt. The prefeeder can be controlled with
the 'Feeder ON/OFF' function.
2. The mechanical equipment within the scales area must be cleaned. Deposits which will build up im-
mediately once normal operation is begun may be ignored.
3. Switch off batch mode.
4. Select Volumetric Mode.
5. The belt conveyor must be running. A corresponding message is generated automatically.
Procedure
Calibration
TW: Tare
While the program is running, the display shows the remaining running period as a % of the entire running
period and the constantly-averaged tare as a % of the nominal belt load.
"TW: Calibration active" is shown in the header.

After ending the program, the display shows how much tare departs from prior taring as a % of the nominal
belt load and the mean of the entire tare as a % of the nominal belt load.
Dev = + : tare has increased
Dev = - : tare has decreased
The 'TW: Wait for Confirmation' message in the header reports the end of the program and requests user
input.
The result is accepted and stored in the P04.04 Basic Tare parameters. At the same
time, P04.05 Zero Correction is set to zero.
The result is not accepted and the scales are not tared.
Specific Messages:
Aborted !
NOTE!
Tare may exceed 100 % by using the nominal belt load as reference.
CAUTION
If the deviation "Dev" is substantial (>20 %), this may indicate a me-
chanical fault.
The weighbridge must then be checked for material particles etc.
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

You can use this program to control the measuring range of the system. This is done by loading the weighing
platform with a known calibration weight and automatically calculating the average platform load over one or
several whole-number belt circuits. The result is compared to a preset setpoint and then displayed.
No automatic correction is performed.
Suitable calibration weights are available as accessories.
Conditions:
1. Tare or zero
2. Key in the calibration weight in P03.08 parameters. The calibration weight should be between 30 %
and 100 % of the Qo rated bridge load.
Qo = qo * Leff qo = Nominal Belt Load, parameters P04.01

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

2. Switch off batch mode
3. The scales must be run in volumetric operation (weighfeeder VWF 20650 only). A corresponding
message is generated automatically.
Procedure
Calibration
CW: Span Calibration
While the program is running, the remaining running period is shown in the display in % of the total running
period along with the continual Set/Act measuring result.
"CW: Calibration active" will be displayed in the header.
Once the program has been ended the fictitiously conveyed quantity of material is shown in the display
above the running period along with the mean of Set/Act over the entire run time.
The "CW: Wait for Confirmation" message in the header reports the end of the program and requests user
input.
Exiting the program. Either button may be used as the result is NOT ACCEPTED
AUTOMATICALLY.

Specific Messages:
Aborted !
NOTE!
If no calibration weight is mounted, the zero point of the scales can be checked with this program.
Evaluating the results
Error < 1 % Set/Act = 0.99 ... 1.01

The scales are in good working order and no further actions are necessary.
Error < 5 % Set/Act = 0.95 ... 1.05

Enter the value KOR in the P04.02 parameter. Of course, this only makes sense if the
result of a material control has not yet been included in the parameter.
Error > 5 % Set/Act < 0.95 or > 1.05

Deviations of several percent indicate incorrectly entered technical data (e. g. unknown
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.

8.5 Setting the Time

The parameter designation is composed as follows:
Pxx.yy <Text> where: xx: Number of the block
yy: Number of the parameter within the block
<Text> Explanatory name of the parameter (language-dependent)
Depending on specific cases, individual parameters or groups of parameters may be hidden to

highlight the parameters that are important to an application. Hidden parameters can only be
shown with the EasyServe service software and they can also be cleared there for the display on
the unit wherever necessary. Hiding parameters may cause gaps in the numbering. Some pa-
rameters can be write-protected. EasyServe can also use write protection to configure EasySer-
ve.

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 expedi-
ent 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 weighbridge
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:
Multi idler weighbridge

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 directed centrally into the load cell. A split measur-
ing table can also be used in place of the weighing idlers.
Mounting for entire belt on one side only
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. The weight acting on the weighing platform (not
the actual weight) has to be entered into parameters P03.08 Calibration Weight. The effective calibration
weight QPRF is the weighing platform load in kg simulated by the calibration weight.
Single-Idler Platform
Parallel leaf-spring bearing
The calibration weight can theoretically be mounted at any point on the weighing platform
mechanical equipment. The effective load is always the applied weight QP.
QPRF = QP
Pivot joint bearing (such as crossed flexure strip)
tan(α) ≈ 0.018 * α
Angle α = 0 : K = 0
Angle α = neg : K = neg
Multiple-Idler Platform

QPRF = QP
Pivot joint bearing
See single-idler platform

Startup operation
Buckled Platform
The calibration weight usually has an effect in the center.
QPRF = QP
The following applies if the entire belt is supported on one side:
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 Weight
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
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
The angle α must be entered as the parameters. The load acting on the load cell is N = Q * cos α.
Vertical to the belt
0° must be entered as angle α. 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 adjustment 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 val-
ues 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 Maximum Flow Rate Io. To achieve a settled display, the reso-
lution Flow Rate Units P02.01 should not exceed 4 ... 5 decimal places.
The output frequency should not be any more than 10 Hz if an external volumeter is connected.

All adjustment 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'.
The Angle P03.07 angle is then α = tan
-1
(h/l)
For angle < 20°, α = 55 h/l applies

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

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 Maximum Flow Rate Io.
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 release or the ON
button was not pressed.
3. Take any event messages which appear into account and remove the error.
4. Check the following:
Speed sensor: The output frequency of the tachometer generator has to be less than 3,000 Hz when
the measurement is active. The value must approximately correspond to the information in the data
sheet.
Load cell: The initial non-standardized value of the load cell amplifier may not be any more than
2.85 mV/V even when the weighing platform is at nominal load. It has to change if the weighing plat-
form is placed under load (such as with a calibration weight). If the value is too large, the load cell is
overloaded. If the value is negative, 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
12.4 Test with Check Weight

The check with the calibrating weight is sensible for the following reasons:
1. Mechanical or electrical faults can be identified.
2. Calibration data can be determined.
Sometimes, the lever ratio may not be known or the belt inclination may be difficult to measure.
3. Input data can be checked.
The calibration weight should be between 30 % ... 100 % of the nominal load and be accurate known.
1. Calibration Weight P03.08 input.
NOTICE! The effective calibrating weight is equal to the value to be ascertained on a separate
static scales on weighing modules with leaf spring parallel guides. The inclination of the con-
veyor belt has no effect on the effective calibration weight. Otherwise the effective calibration
weight should be read from the technical data sheets.
2. Open and run calibration program CW: Span Calibration.
Possible causes for non-linearity:
▪ Warping of the weighing station
▪ Inadequate alignment of beltweighers and weighfeeders.
▪ Disturbances to the load cell cable
Linear faults more likely indicate incorrectly input data.
12.5 Belt Velocity Check

The velocity sensor frequency generator can be actuated in a number of different ways.
1. By a frictional wheel on the lower carrying run of the belt
2. By 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
measurements 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 Bulk Solids

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

1. The route from the continuous measuring point to the collecting point for the material 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 scales
must be cleaned and re-weighed (tared) before each filling. The commercial scales must be sufficient-
ly accurate to measure the MW quantity.
The new value P04.02new is calculated as follows from the prior value P04.02old from the MA counter pro-
gression of continuous measurement and the MW mass ascertained on the control scale:
P04.02new = P04.02old * MW / MA
For example:
Old value of P04.02 = 1
A material quantity of MW = 4.9 t is conveyed over a period of 15 minutes. The MA counter progression read
off the device is 5.0 t.
P04.02new = 1 * 4.9/5.0 = 0.98
The calculated value should be entered into P04.02.

12.7 Sample Applications

Weighfeeder
A weighfeeder draws material from a storage hopper.
The feed rate setpoint and actual feed rates are compared and the difference passed to the controller. This
changes the speed of the conveyor belt until the actual value is equal to the setpoint.

or
UNIVERS
Control in Gravimetric Mode of Operation

The actual feed rate is controlled in the gravimetric mode of operation:
Actual feed rate = belt load Q * belt velocity V.
Control in Volumetric Mode of Operation
In volumetric operating mode only the belt velocity V is regulated
P14.20 Volumetric Mode Qconst
Note
The regulation configuration for the weighfeeder also can be achieved with the value P14.01 UNIVERS. If
changes in belt load can be expected during operation, you can adapt the segment amplification using pa-
rameter P14.26 - Adaptation 1.

Startup operation
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.

The adaptation points allow quick adaptation of the controller operating point to the changes in setpoint. Pa-
rameters P14.02 (P-Component) and P14.03 (I-Component) are retained. The filters P14.22 and P14.23
simulate the time response of the segment (reaction time Tt) so that the bypass can act as autonomously as
possible in the case of a jump in the setpoint. The filters must be adjusted empirically if in the case of a jump
in the setpoint the actual value tends strongly towards over- or undershooting.

Startup operation
Beltweigher 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 regula-
tion is needed for the drive in all cases.

Tab. 1 : Using parameter sets
NOTICE
Parameters not required for an application can be faded out or declared
'read only' using EasyServe in expert mode. For simple applications, many
parameters are already hidden or are only readable.
EasyServe compiles a list of visible parameters that form an integral part of the system documentation. To-
gether 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.

Parameters
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'.
NOTICE
Gaps can appear between block numbers and parameters within the blocks.
The number of a parameter can be changed from one program version to
the next.
NOTICE
Furthermore, each parameter has a unique ID with which it can be ad-
dressed 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.

Tab. 3 : Event classes
NOTICE
An external binary output channel that may have been assigned to an event
is set independent of the event class. This output type channel remains set
for as long as the event continues to exist. It is therefore possible that the
measurement is switched off by the event (by alarm setting) and therefore
the event no longer exists. In this case, the binary output only provides the
corresponding information about the event for a short period.
A recently pending alarm- or warning 1-class event will be shown on the operating panel blinking and in col-
or. Blinking is turned off when acknowledged. Acknowledged event messages are cleared from the display
for current events if the event is no longer pending. Each event is stored with a time-stamp in the internal
memory for later analysis.

Min: 0.10 I/m Max: 1000000.00 I/m
The number of impulses from the speed transmitter per meter of belt length. This parameter is essential to scale accuracy.
Note: If there is no active tachometer, you should not change the parameter because this would change the running period of the
calibration programs.
P02.05 Nominal Speed Default: 0.10000 m/s (*)

Min: 0.00001 m/s Max: 50.00000 m/s

Specifies the device that will turn on the scales.
OP: from the keyboard of INTECONT

FB: through the fieldbus interface
DI: through a digital input
The digital input is flank-controlled, i.e. the ON signal must be removed and then reapplied if the scales becomes inoperative
because of e.g. an alarm.
(*)
P02.07 Feedrate Setpoint Default: OP

Alternative: ------- kg | -----.- kg | ----.-- kg | ---.--- kg | ------- t | -----.- t | --
--.-- t | ---.--- t
Display format for counter 1.
P02.11 Pulse Length Total Default: 0 ms

Min: 0 ms Max: 10000 ms
Duration of an external totalizing counter output impulse.
The weighting of an impulse is specified by P02.15 Totalizer Increment.
If the impulse duration is shorter than 10 ms the impulse output is disabled. All impulses not issued yet are cleared.
The output frequency f is approximately Maximum Flow Rate Io:

f [Hz] = P02.02 / (3600 * P02.15)
The output frequency must be ≤ 10 Hz if an external counter is connected.
The maximum impulse length at the DISOCONT Tersus electronic output DO8 is 1s, even if a longer time is set.

DO: Select the physical output for triggering an external impulse counter for the measured quantity. Bear in mind the limitations on
speed and life cycle when selecting a relay output in the report and set the weight equivalent for a impulse in P02.15 Totalizer
Increment. The duration of the impulse is set by P02.11 Pulse Length Total.
With the DISOCONT Tersus impulses with frequencies of 1 - 10 Hz can be output only at output DO8 on the main VCU (VCU1). A
maximum of 1 impulse per second can be output at all other outputs. If DO8 is used for counter impulses then the state of the
output is always given as '0' in EasyServe. You therefore must use the corresponding LED for diagnosis.

Parameters
P02.15 Totalizer Increment Default: 10.00 kg

Min: 0.00 kg Max: 100000.00 kg
Weight equivalent of an impulse at the output for the external counter as per P02.14 DO: Pulse Counter.

kg | 0.02 t | 0.05 t | 0.2 t | 0.5 t
Determines the increment value for counter 1 and all batch values. Parameter P02.10 Counter 1 Unit applies for 'Automatic'.
The increment value only applies to the local display and for printouts.
P02.17 Counter 1 Overflow Default: 999999999999 kg

Alternative: 999999999999 kg | 99999999999 kg | 9999999999

kg
Definition of the value in kg or lb at which the counter will overrun and restart at zero.
Note: The value is transmitted to the fieldbus with 6 significant digits. The last decimal place as displayed on the counter on the
operating panel may jump by more than one unit if the counter overrun is set to a very large value. The counter's internal calcula-
tion however will continue to be exact to 12 significant digits.
If the resolution of the counter on the operating panel is very fine, a large overrun value may cause individual digits to be cut off.
The overrun may be required to be considered separately in the host computer for balancing purposes if the counter is queried via
fieldbus.

Normally, the calibrating weight is applied so that the effect of its force on the load cell accords with that of the bulk solids. In this
case, P03.08 the calibrating weight value determined on static scales is to be entered.
If different lever ratios exist for the recording of the force of the calibrating weight and the bulk solids, the value converted via the
lever ratio is entered for the calibrating weight.

in motion.

Parameters
13.4.2.8 Parameter Block 08 - Additional Devices
P08.01 Zero Drop-Out Active Default: NO

The zero drop out function sets the display of the feed rate to zero when the load drops below the threshold value in P08.01 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.

The application point of the switch-off function is adapted automatically so that the system is better adapted to the actual condi-
tions for the next batch.
Adaptation Factor = 0 : no adaptation

Adaptation Factor = 1 : full adaptation
Interim values result in filtered adjustment; this should be used in particular for systems with poor reproducibility.
The result of the event is stored in P09.02 Correction Amount.
P09.02 NEW = P09.02 OLD - Batch Resid. Amount * P09.03

P14.03 I-Component TN Default: 1.0 s

Min: 0.0 s Max: 60000.0 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 pro-
duced 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

Filter time constant for all displays and printouts of the control deviation.

Parameters
P14.05 Time Deviation Default: 20.0 s

The event message will be given as per P14.09 Event: Deviation if the absolute value of the control deviation for the duration
P14.05 Time Deviation is greater than the threshold P14.06 Threshold Deviation. Alternatively the event is recognized when the
filtered amount of control deviation is in excess of the limit in P14.08 Deviation abs. max..
At a setpoint of 100 %, the effective threshold is always equal to the parameter
P14.06 Threshold Deviation or P14.08 Deviation abs. max.. The threshold can be reduced with parameter P14.07 Factor Devia-
tion for lower setpoints. The appropriate formula is contained in the chapter 'Appendix'.
Examples:
P14.07 = 0: Effective threshold = P14.06 × Setpoint / P02.02

P14.07 = 1: Effective threshold = P14.06
P14.08 Deviation abs. max. Default: 100.0 %
Min: 0.1 % Max: 1000.0 %

The amount of the control deviation will be filtered (filter time constant: P14.05 Time Deviation). 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.

Parameters
P14.09 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:
1. 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
2. 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).
3. Calibration error:
- The controller was set at such a critical value during initial calibration that minor changes in the bulk solids of the system
lead to unreliable operation.
Also refer to:

P14.05 Time Deviation
P14.10 Event: Controller Limited Default: W1
Event Group: CO Number: 01

The Controller Magnitude of the feed rate regulator has reached the upper response threshold. After a time message HI05
(P14.09) 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 Maximum Flow Rate Io Y should be
between about 10...14 mA.
P14.11 Lower Limit Default: 0.00 mA
Min: 0.00 mA Max: 20.00 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. P14.13 Contr.Magn.Offset must be
set to a value equal to or greater than P14.11 Lower Limit.
Also refer to: P14.13 Contr.Magn.Offset

Parameters
P14.12 Upper Limit Default: 20.00 mA

Min: 0.00 mA Max: 20.00 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
P14.13 Contr.Magn.Offset Default: 0.00 mA

Min: 0.00 mA Max: 20.00 mA
Offset of the actuating variable by a constant value. The offset takes effect before the limitation of the actuating variable.
In general, the same values are set for P14.13 Contr.Magn.Offset and 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 feedrate setpoints of 0:
P14.13 Contr.Magn.Offset = Y2
All other feeders:
P14.13 Contr.Magn.Offset = Y1
Notice: P14.13 Contr.Magn.Offset must be equal to or greater than P14.11 Lower Limit.
P14.14 Contr. Magn. 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 P14.11 Lower Limit.
P14.15 Volumetric Start-Up Default: 0.0 Circuits
Min: 0.0 Circuits Max: 100.0 Circuits

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.
P14.16 Volumetric Clearance Default: 0.0 Circuits

Min: 0.0 Circuits Max: 2.0 Circuits
Duration of clearance mode. The flow gate is switched off before the feeder discharge element (belt drive) to clear the system.
This allows the discharge element to be emptied.

Yconst: the controller is switched off, P14.21 Bypass only is effective.
For further details see the section 'Details: Regulation' in the appendices.
P14.21 Bypass Default: 0.00 mA

Min: 0.00 mA Max: 20.00 mA

Min: 0.0 s Max: 6000.0 s
The time constant for a 1st-order filter in the setpoint branch. Does not function for the bypass.
To prevent overshoot, the setpoint is decoupled from the actual controller

through a reconstruction of the controlled member. The setpoint filters P14.22 and P14.23 delay the controller while the bypass
comes to the controller magnitude output without a delay.
The filter is switched off with P14.22 = 0.
Also refer to: the controller figure in the appendix

To prevent overshoot, the setpoint is decoupled from the actual controller

through a reconstruction of the controlled member. The setpoint filters P14.22 Setpoint Filter 1st Ord and P14.23 delay the control-
ler while the bypass comes to the controller magnitude output without a delay.
The filter is switched off with P14.23 = 0.
Also refer to: the controller figure in the appendix
P14.24 Set/Act Comparison Default: W-X
Alternative: W-X | X-W

Comparison of setpoint and actual values:
W-X: The controller receives the 'setpoint - actual value' difference

1/W: The controller reacts stronger to deviations with decreasing feed rate setpoint
P14.27 Adaptation 2 Default: NO

Alternative: NO | W
Activation of the regulated adaptation of the control mode by the feed rate setpoint.

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
- 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 recti-
fied.
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:

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

CO01 Event: Controller Limited (P14.10)
The Controller Magnitude of the feed rate regulator has reached the upper response threshold. After a time message HI05
(P14.09) 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 Maximum Flow Rate Io 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 set to IG if connecting up other equipment (not NAMUR). External NAMUR adapters, resistor cir-
cuitry etc. are not required.
WE10 Event: NAMUR Error Sensor (P13.05)

The sensor signal at the input exceeds the permissible level.
Possible cause:
- cable to the sensor is broken
- the sensor is faulty
- there is a short circuit in the cable connection
- an external signal sensor is outputting the incorrect signal level
15.1.4 Event Group: Interlock

IL01 Event: No Release (P13.07)
No release signal from the source determined by P16.01 Source Release.
If this event is pending then the downstream transport equipment is most likely not switched on.
IL11 Event: Wrong System Time (P11.05)

The event is identified if the operating voltage of the electronic system was switched off for so long that the real-time clock reset
itself to its default value. The supply voltage buffer for the clock is guaranteed only for one week if there is no supply voltage.
Remedy: the clock should be set to the current time to ensure that the data are recorded with the correct time.
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)
For load cells with sensitivities of 2 mV/V the load cells are loaded to greater than 140 % of the sum of their rated loads. This
event is never identified for load cells with a greater sensitivity. Overload triggers event CA01 for all load cells.
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:
- Feed rate setpoint too large
HI03 Event: Load MAX (P06.08)

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

The belt speed is greater than the maximum value set in P06.11 Limit: Speed MAX

Events
HI05 Event: Deviation (P14.09)

Maximum Deviation exceeded. The actual feed rate has deviated to far from the setpoint over too long a period of time.
Possible causes:
1. 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
2. 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).
3. Calibration error:
- The controller was set at such a critical value during initial calibration that minor changes in the bulk solids of the system
lead to unreliable operation.
Also refer to:

P14.05 Time Deviation

Events
15.1.7 Event Group: Mechanic

WM02 Event: Slip (P12.14)
This event is identified if the belt motion does not correspond to that predicted by the motor revolutions.
Possible causes:
- belt is slipping at the drive pulley
- withdrawal forces are too high
- gearing is defective
- belt or drive pulley heavily soiled
Steps:
- visual inspection of the belt and the bulk material flow
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)

The belt has exceeded the tolerance levels set.
Steps:
1. Remove any soiling to the tail and drive pulleys
2. Align the belt
Monitoring may also be subject to error. Therefore: keep an eye on the service value for the belt motion sensor and correct any
errors that may arise.
Related threshold value: Belt Drift

Events
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 causes:
- force shunts or pressure ratios can reduce significantly the load on the load cell
- incorrect cabling
- faulty load cell
LO02 Event: Actual Flow Rate MIN (P06.02)

The actual feed rate is lower than the minimum value P06.01 Limit: Actual Flow Rate MIN set.
Possible causes:
- no bulk material
- feed rate setpoint too low
LO03 Event: Load MIN (P06.06)

The belt load is less than the minimum value set in P06.05 Limit: Load MIN
Possible causes:
- no bulk material
LO04 Event: Speed MIN (P06.10)

The belt speed is less than the minimum value set in P06.09 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 P02.02 Maximum Flow Rate Io in gravimetric operation.
b) The setpoint is limited to three times the value of P02.02 Maximum Flow Rate Io in volumetric operation.
SC02 Event: Stand-By (P06.14)

Scales are in standby operation, i.e. the controller magnitude to the feed drive is smaller than the threshold value 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.
Actions:
Key in the larger setpoint and check P06.13 Stand-By Limit Value.
SC03 Event: Maint.Feeder Run (P11.04)

The sum of the runtimes of the conveying elements is greater than the time P11.03 Maintenance Feeder Run.

Events
SC04 Event: Maint. Electric (P11.02)

The sum of the times during which the mains voltage is on is greater than the time 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 occured 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 in
P19.02.
Action: Check cable connections and communication processor of the host computer.
Information for commissioning: In transmission mode with P19.24 Configuration = FIXED… or P19.09 Configuration = FIXED…
the release bit (command word with ID 0x0143, see Fieldbus manual) must be set.
SY09 Event: EtherNet/IP not licensed (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)

Incorrect data in the noncyclical communication from the host computer.
If P19.05 Check in Keyboard Mode = NO the event will be suppressed in keyboard mode.
Possible cause: poor programming of the host computer
SY14 Event: Simulation active (P13.10)

Simulation operation is on.

16.1 Mounting the INTECONT Tersus into a Control Panel or

Switch Cabinet
The INTECONT Tersus has a seal along its edge. The number of metal plates used in the installation de-
pends on how tight the switch cabinet seal needs to be (IP54/IP65). These plates press the seal onto the
switch cabinet door. This seals the edge. The plates for IP54 are included. Further plates for IP65 are
available as an option.

The allocation of logic signals to the digital inputs (DI), the digital outputs (DO), the analog inputs (AI) and
analog outputs (AO) largely takes place using parameters in the software (see parameter list in the corre-
sponding chapter). The aforementioned electrical limit values must be complied with.

NOTICE
Do not use digital inputs DI5-T/DI5-N simultaneously
The tachometer pulse generator can be connected either as a NAMUR sen-
sor or alternatively as an open collector sensor (e.g.. transducer FGA 53),
depending on the model used. As both physical inputs work at the same
logic input DI5 , both alternatives cannot be used at the same time.
The colours of the conductors of the load cell cable vary depending on the type and manufacturer of the load
cell. The following table can be used as a reference. More details can be found on the load cell data sheet.

16.3 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.

16.5.5 PROFINET IO
NOTICE
MULTICAST services or closed ring may overload the network
The MULTICASTservices may overload the electronics processor if
MULTICAST services (e.g. webcam streams) are operated within the elec-
tronic network. Use only Switche in the electronics network that support
protocols IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) for IPv4 or
MLD (Multicast Listener Discovery) for IPv6.
In a closed Ethernet ring there may be a flood of messages because some
participants send messages to all the others. These messages are forward-
ed by a Switch in the network to all participants. If two Switche are connect-
ed to each other via two different paths (closed loop) this results in them
continuously sending the messages back and forth to each other. This leads
to an overloaded network. The connected controls can be overloaded by the
flood of messages and cease operation. Therefore closed Ethernet loop
structures are not permitted.
The overload can be identified by the unusual high-frequency blinking LED
at the switch. The LED are allocated to the Ethernet plugs.

Hardware
16.5.5.1 Network Topology

This section describes the possible topology of PROFINET networks with Schenck Process weighing and
condition monitoring electronics using the PROFINET fieldbus interface module VPN8020 (VPN for short).
NOTICE
Quality of the components used
The PROFINET fieldbus interface module VPN8020 can be operated in the
conformity classes CC-A/CC-B. In CC-A, the PROFINET specification re-
quires IEEE 802.1D (Auto Crossover, Auto Negotiation) / Q (prioritization) /
AB (neighbor detection). In this case, we therefore recommend using com-
ponents which have been specified for PROFINET. In order to guarantee
fault-free operation in CC-B any other components (e. g. external switches)
used within the network must be certified for PROFINET.
In any case, only industry-appropriate products may be used.
Star Topology
Fig. 31: PROFINET star topology
The network participants are connected with the PROFINET-capable switch in a star shape. In this topology,
Schenck Process devices (example A, B) can be configured via the PROFINET network.

Hardware
Line Topology
Fig. 32: PROFINET line topology
In the line topology, the bus subscribers are arranged consecutively. The internal VPN switch is used to for-
ward the fieldbus.
The drawback of this topology: if one of the front network participants fails, the entire downstream network is
affected.
Ring Topology
Fig. 33: PROFINET ring topology
The advantage of the ring topology is that each fieldbus subscriber can be reached in one of two ways. This
means that the no-motion state of a connection or participant does not lead to the total failure of the system.

Hardware
Redundancy Manager 'Ring Manager'

In order to avoid circulating telegrams in the ring topology, a ring participant must be defined as Redundancy
Manager. This Redundancy Manager unravels the ring as long as the system is functioning completely and
in the event of an error closes the connection.
The ring can either be formed by a master with two ports or via a stub to a switch. All ring participants must
master the MRP (Media Redundancy Protocol). The VPN switch can do this.
The PROFINET fieldbus interface module VPN8020 cannot be used as a Redundancy Manager.
16.5.5.2 PROFINET IO Module VPN 28020

The optional module can be installed onto the device mainboard to create an interface to the PROFINET.

16.6 Use in an Explosion Hazard Area

There is a model of the device available for frontal use in an explosion hazard area zone 22. This model is
labeled as follows:
The following standards were applied:

▪ EN 60079-0:2012 (IEC 60079-0:2011) Explosive Atmospheres - Part 0: Devices, General Require-
ments
▪ DIN EN 60079-31:2014 Explosion Hazard Areas – Part 31: Equipment Dust Explosion Protection by
means of Housing "t"
The rear of the device must be installed in a safe area, e.g. in a housing suitable for use in an explosion
hazard area (e.g. VWG 20650-3D). The installation must be made with the additional parts from the mount-
ing kit as illustrated in the figure. The reinforcing sheet is intended to prevent the deformation of the wall of a
sheet metal casing and must be installed on the interior of the housing.

rated load of the weighbridge. It must change if the weighing platform is placed under load.
aw
Load of the load cell as a percentage based on the sum of the rated loads of the load cell. aw should not be
greater than 100 % at nominal belt load. If it is not possible to bring about a reasonable operational state in
spite of all efforts, the »test plug [➙172]« chapter might help.

Appendix
18.4 Test with Check Weight

The check with the calibrating weight is sensible for the following reasons:
1. Mechanical or electrical faults can be identified.
2. Calibration data can be determined.
Sometimes, the lever ratio may not be known or the belt inclination may be difficult to measure.
3. Input data can be checked.
The calibration weight should be between 30 % ... 100 % of the nominal load and be accurate known.
1. Calibration Weight P03.08 input.
NOTICE! The effective calibrating weight is equal to the value to be ascertained on a separate
static scales on weighing modules with leaf spring parallel guides. The inclination of the con-
veyor belt has no effect on the effective calibration weight. Otherwise the effective calibration
weight should be read from the technical data sheets.
2. Open and run calibration program CW: Span Calibration.
Possible causes for non-linearity:
▪ Warping of the weighing station
▪ Inadequate alignment of beltweighers and weighfeeders.
▪ Disturbances to the load cell cable
Linear faults more likely indicate incorrectly input data.

Appendix
18.5 Test Connector
A basic function control of the INTECONT Tersus 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 corresponding to the drawing.
2. Remove the load cell connector X10.
3. Connect the test plug.
The dimensioned resistances given result in the following service values:
▪ Load cell signal (lc) approx.1.1 mV/V
▪ Load cell usage factor (aw) approx. 55 % if P03.03 = 2 mV/V and approx. 39 % if P03.03 = 2.85 mV/V
If lc is in the listed range, then the measuring input is free of errors.
Notice:
With other resistances R1 and R2, the LC raw measured value is calculated to 500 * R2/R1 [mV/V].
The test plug is available as an accessory.

5 Changing over to normal gravimetrically controlled feeding operation (assuming gravimetric
mode was previously selected). Control stays in volumetric mode (assuming it was previ-
ously 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 P07.06 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.

feeder switched on and during the stopping time (P07.06).
18.7 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.
Fig. 43: Weighfeeder
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.

Appendix
Fig. 44: Belt weigher with controlled material prefeeder
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 regula-
tion is needed for the drive in all cases.

ured feed rate or actual belt load value is not taken into consideration.
Volumetric synchronous
In contrast to volumetric operation, it is not the nominal belt load that is used for calculating the set belt
speed. Instead, the measured belt load is used before changing over. That means that the changeover is
smooth.
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.
18.8 Feed Rate Controller

The controller is selected for a speed-regulated weighfeeder via P14.01 = STANDARD. It is streamlined for a
controller structure as per Weighfeeder with Controlled Belt Velocity.
Fig. 46: VWF DIT Standard Feed Rate Controller
Generally, an excellent control quality is achieved by preset parameters.

Appendix
The controller structure is extended in the setting via P14.01 = UNIVERS as per the following figure. It can
be used to achieve the Beltweigher with Feed Control and Beltweigher with a constant load control struc-
tures.
Fig. 47: VWF DIT Universal Feed Rate Controller
Gravimetric The measured belt load Q is used to ascertain the corresponding setpoint speed. The
setpoint is restricted to the value in P02.02.
Volumetric Mo- The speed setpoint is reached assuming nominal belt load. The setpoint is limited to three
de times the value in P02.02.
Volumetric The most-recently measured belt load Qa is used to ascertain the corresponding setpoint
Synchronous speed. The setpoint is limited to three times the value in P02.02.
Tab. 22 : Controller modes
The controller operating mode is displayed on the operating panel by VOL and GRAV.
NOTE: The rotational speed controller is active in all modes of operation of the controller. If a con-
troller magnitude that is independent of the actual speed should be output for test purposes,
this can be done with the increase in P14.13 for the feed rate setpoint = 0.

Appendix
Volumetric The operating mode for starting up an empty belt. The duration is determined by the
Start-Up FALSE, P06.05 and P14.15 parameters.
For FALSE = FAST the load set in P06.05 will be used to ascertain the correct setpoint
speed. Otherwise the nominal belt load will be used.
The switch-on command immediately sets the prefeeder and drive outputs to ON. The belt
speed is controlled proportional to the setpoint. After the start up period, it automatically
switches to the measured value of the belt load, which means that the feed rate is con-
trolled.
Volumetric The prefeeder immediately is switched off when the switch-off command is given and the
Clearance belt will continue to run in 'Volumetric Synchronous' mode for the length of belt given in
P14.16 in order to remove any remaining bulk material from the belt.
A switch-on command when running empty triggers a new start up period. Alarms turn the
belt drive off immediately.
Standby The external controller will be turned off after 3 s at an actuating variable magnitude below
the threshold defined by P06.13 to protect it and the drive motor from excess tempera-
tures, though the feeder scales will continue to indicate running feeding to the on-site
control system. It will be switched back into normal operation instantaneously. Stored
portions in the controller behave in the same fashion as when feeding is switched off.
Set P06.13 = 0 for continuous operation with even a low actuating variable value.
Tab. 23 : Special modes of operation

The following diagram shows in schematic form the correlation between the controller parameters and the
actuating variable.

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 P14.04.
Warning
Event message P14.05 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 P14.05) 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 for-
mulas:
S1 = P14.06 * [P14.07 + (1 - P14.07) * feed rate setpoint / P02.02]
S2 = P14.08 * [P14.07 + (1 - P14.07) * feed rate setpoint / P02.02]
The following diagram illustrates the relationship using with examples for threshold value S1.
P Feed rate setpoint S Limit value S1 or S2

LIM Limit value in P14.06 or. P14.08 F Influence factorP14.07
Setpoint-Dependent Actuating Variable Limitation
NOTICE
For beltweighers that have setpoint-dependent belt-load controllers, limiting
is dependent on the belt-speed setpoint resulting from the loading and feed
rate setpoints. In the diagram above, the target belt speed as a percentage
of the nominal belt speed is used for the horizontal axle.
The upper limit of the actuating variable can be reduced to prevent excess feeding of hazardous substances
at a low feed rate setpoint.
The figure shows this correlation for three selected settings of the parameter MX.

Number Name Effect
P14.19 Store The behavior of the integral component when turning off:
NO: do not save. Starting up with integral component = 0
YES: Starting up begins with the integral component saved before
turning off.
YES-A: Only save when feeding has not become inoperative due to
an alarm.
P14.21 Bypass Additive pre-control of the controller magnitude by the setpoint (by-
pass). The controller magnitude given in the parameter is output for
100 % setpoint.
The controller magnitude is not synchronized when changing the
setpoint bypass. The bypass should only be changed in small steps
or when the scales is off to avoid larger jumps in feeding.
P14.20 Volumetric Mode Determining the behavior in volumetric operation:
Qconst: as the Volumetric Mode controller operating mode of the
standard controller
Yconst: the controller is switched off. The bypass only is effective.
This mode of operation is suitable for e.g. the beltweigher with
prefeeder-control.
P14.22 Setpoint Filter 1st Ord The filter is supposed to simulate the temporal behavior of a simple
external controlled loop. The time constant should be set in accord-
ance with the external route so that there are not any major control
differences Xd occurring (service value) with setpoint jumps during
the signal's transit time. Furthermore, stored portions are reset when
the network is connected.

Appendix
Number Name Effect
P14.23 Setpoint Filter 2nd Ord The filter is supposed to simulate the temporal behavior of a more
complex external controlled loop. Setting the time constant as per
P14.22.
P14.25 Set/Act Sources Selecting the process variables to be controlled:
I: Control of the actual feed rate (→ constant feed rate). The operat-
ing personnel can specify the setpoint.
Q: Control of the actual belt load (→ constant belt load). The set-
point is specified by parameters.
P14.26 Adaptation 1 Adapting the controller with the setpoint. Adaptation adapts the con-
trol speed and stored integral component to the setpoint. Adaptation
has few merits if P14.21 is set appropriately.
It is not synchronized when changing adaptation. Adaptation should
only be changed when the scales is switched off to avoid greater
feeding jumps.
Tab. 26 : The effect of selected parameters of the universal controller
Example: Load-regulated beltweigher with fixed speed

Operating a beltweigher with a constant speed. The feed rate is controlled by means of the prefeeder output.
The transport time from the bulk material entry onto the belt until the center of the weighing station is desig-
nated by Tt. Tt can be calculated from the belt speed v and the distance s from the loading point to the center
of the weighbridge:
Tt = s/v

18.9 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 discharged is directly recorded.
Measuring at discharge point VAP
Conditions:
▪ 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
18.10 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 must be at NO.
Procedure for activating the belt monitoring:
1. Set the parameter P12.03 Belt Sensor Active to YES
2. Enter the sensor length into parameter P12.06 Sensor Length
3. Enter the sensor width into parameter P12.07 Sensor Width
4. Set parameter P12.08 Sensor Offset to 0
5. Call up the calibration function LB: Pulses/Belt
18.11 BIC Belt Impact Compensation

Even good-quality 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
circuits, that is, over an average.
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
18.12 Linearization
The belt loading does not usually need to be linearized. It only makes sense with major belt load fluctuations.
Calibration with calibration weights:
■ A calibrating weight Q1 is applied.
1. Start the scales.
2. Start the Zero setting program.
3. Note the final result of the zero setting program and enter later in the Linearization I1 parameter.
4. Stop the program. The result is not taken over.
5. Calculate q1 = Q1 / L * 100 % / q0 and enter the result into parameter Linearization S1.
Where:
Q1: Calibrating weight in kg
L: P03.05 Effective Platform Length
q0: Nominal Belt Load
► Repeat the fast speed 1 ... 3 with increasingly large check weights for the other linearization points.
Calibration using material:
■ There is material on the belt.
1. Run material inspection with a belt load of q1
2. Read the mean of belt load q1(a) on the unit and enter into the Linearization I1 parameter
3. Enter the result of formula q1(s) = q1(a) * Ms / Ma into parameter Linearization S1
Where:
Ms: quantity of conveyed material in kg
Ma: Quantity of material as read at the unit in kg
► Repeat the fast speed 1 ... 3 with increasingly large belt loads for the other linearization points.
