1. Introduction of Coriolis flow meter
Coriolis scales use Coriolis to measure powders flow. When the
material flows along the center of the cone distributor in the
rotational inertia system towards the edge of the measuring
wheel, it produces a Coriolis force (Fc) in the tangential
direction, which acts on the measuring wheel, resulting in a
moment M opposite to its direction of rotation on the
measuring mechanism. The rotational torque of the measuring
wheel is transmitted to the pressure sensor through the
measuring mechanism.

2.2 Electrical installation
1. Wiring requirements:
-core shielded cables, and the analog signal cable shield of
PLC is preferably grounded separately.
(b) The signal line is preferably not arranged in the same cable groove as the power line; if it is in the same
groove, the wiring spacing between the signal line and the power line is required to remain above 20 cm. To
prevent signal interference from the power line to the signal line.
2. Shielding and grounding:
(a) In order to reduce the interference of the frequency converter to the sensor, the strong wire from the

-
sectional area, multiple shielded cables with a smaller cross-sectional area can be used in parallel. The inverter
ground is connected to the dedicated ground together with the cable shield, and the special ground wire is also
connected to the special ground wire after the motor end shield is bolted to the grounding in the motor junction
box.
(b) Other cables are wired according to the requirements of the figure.

3. HMI Infaces Introduction

When the signal of weighing bin is sent to PLC, you can check the
flow coefficient of KXT P0 by this interface, if you don’t check the
coefficient, you can receive the current weight of the bin.

Step1 :Close the valve of entering bin, input Range-Wspan .

Step2:Set calibrate time, Should generally be more than 30 minutes (18000).
Step3:Press the “Calibrate” button ,the system will start calibration, the system
will record the start weight and the start accumulated value automatically. If the
calibrated time is finished, it will record the stop weight , the stop accumulated
value and coefficient (P0) automatically.
Step4: Press the “Modify” button , P0 will be modified.

 4. System Debugging
4.1 No-load Debugging
(1) After the completion of the above work, turn on the power supply, switch the control mode to the local control mode,
start the metering scale on the touch screen without load, confirm whether there is a friction sound, and deal with any
problems in time;
(2) When the metering scale is running without load, confirm that the motor steering must be consistent with the equipment
marking requirements.
(3) When the metering scale is running without load, observe whether the speed (T) and no-load torque (M0) of the touch
screen "operation monitoring" screen are stable, such as large fluctuations in value, there may be the following reasons:
• Signal fluctuations caused by electromagnetic interference, check whether the grounding system meets the requirements;
• There are foreign objects in the weighing pan, open the equipment inspection door for inspection.
(4) After completing steps (1)-(3), start the feeder for no-load operation on the touch screen monitoring screen (confirm
that the upper manual/pneumatic gate valve is closed), confirm whether there is a friction sound, and deal with it in time if
there is a problem;
( ) In the process of performing step (4), check whether the speed (T) and load torque (M) of the touch screen "operation"
inface are stable, and if there is a problem, follow step (3) to troubleshoot.

(6) After completing the above steps, switch the control mode to the central control mode on the touch screen, and
after the central control receives the "central control preparation" signal, send the "flow setting" signal, start and
stop the metering scale, feeder drive (interval 20S), observe whether the signal is normal, whether the equipment
is normal, and repeat the steps ( )

4.2 Load Debugging
Flow meter calibration
a. Enter the calibrated weighing warehouse full range into the "Range" parameter of the touch screen calibration
screen;
b. Stop feeding after the warehouse is filled with materials;
c. The central control or the machine sets the set flow rate to the normal use of the flow;
d. Keep the metering scale and feeder in normal start-up;
e.
f. Click the "calibration button", the system automatically records the initial cumulative value and warehouse
weight value Q1 and W1;
g. After the calibration time is reached, the system automatically records the final cumulative value and
warehouse weight value Q2 and W2;
h. The system automatically calculates the calibration coefficient K; K=(W2-W1)/(Q2-Q1)
i. Calibrate the calibration by multiplying the calibration factor K by multiplying the new value obtained by the
existing flow factor into the input box of the "Flow coefficient" parameter.

4.2 Load Debugging
Flow regulation parameter
The control system is PID adjustment mode, the scale factor is recommended to be set to 0.012; the integration
time is recommended to be set to 0. , and the specific setting screen can be found in the introduction section of
the touch screen interface. The larger the general P setting, the greater the amplitude of each adjustment, and the
larger the general Ti setting, the slower the corresponding time for the system to adjust.
5. System Maintenance

1. Open the inspection door on the flowmeter housing regularly every month to remove debris from the measuring
disc and measure the sticky ash bonded on the blades to ensure metering and control accuracy.
2. Always check whether the pneumatic components and pressure gauges related to compressed air are in good
function, whether the oil-water separator is working normally, and whether the accumulated water is removed in
time to ensure the sealing and cleaning effect.
3. The fineness and moisture of the powder should meet the process requirements, otherwise it may cause the
powder silo to arch, resulting in poor unloading, causing feeding fluctuations, or blocking the feeder;
4. Open the sensor's mounting bracket periodically every month to remove dust and debris from it. The presence of
foreign bodies or fouling can cause metering fluctuations, or the metering display value is less than the actual
feed amount, which can damage the metering scale in severe cases.
