Safety notes
2 Safety notes
To avoid personal injury and material damage, follow the safety regulations stated below.
Additionally you should also observe:
▪ Safety information given in order-specific documentation
▪ Safety information relating to mechanical components
▪ Instructions and safety instructions for parts manufactured by 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 measuring system and connected mechanical components is intended solely for weighing tasks and
related control applications. It is not intended for any other use.
Risks
If properly installed and put into service the measuring system itself does not represent a hazard.
Hazards may arise when the system is used for control operations or for transporting weighed goods. Po-
tential sources of danger would then be add-on equipment that the material weighed is transported or me-
tered in. Residual risks may originate from the measuring system if unskilled operators improperly handle
the system.
This measuring system may be a component of a more complex system. The operating company is fully
responsible for overall plant safety.
Personnel
Preparation, assembly, commissioning, operation, maintenance and servicing may only be carried out by
qualified personnel.
All persons working on the system are required to observe the safety hints and know the parts of the tech-
nical documentation relevant to their work.
The operating company is responsible for instructing his operators to observe all regulations and instruc-
tions given.
Changing parameters
The parameters dictate how the measuring system functions. Only personnel familiar with the device's mode
of operation may alter these parameters (e.g. after training by Schenck Process). Incorrectly set parameters
may cause injury or material damage. They can also adversely affect weighing operation.
Password
Passwords safeguard the parameters against unauthorized alteration. The measuring system operating
company has to ensure safe password handling.

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

All of the parts of the scales, particularly electrical components, must be protected from moisture and humid-
ity when the housing is open such as during service work. Observe housing protection standards.
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

3.3 Mode of Operation
3.3.1 Principle of Operation of MULTICOR and its Measuring Electronics
Fig. 1: MULTICOR measuring principle
LC Load cell M1 Measuring drive
A2 Motor G Speed transmitter
P Feed rate setpoint Y The analog output for the controller magnitude
The mass flowthrough unit consists of a measuring wheel rotating at a constant speed that is subdivided
into chambers by specially shaped guide blades.
The bulk solids are continuously conducted centrally from above onto the distributor cone of the measuring
wheel, spun outwards by the rotation and it then slides on the stator frame shell to the lower outlet opening.
The motor is mounted to rotate and transfers the torque it yields to the LC load cells through a lever. The
output tension of the load cells is proportional to the torque and is transformed into digital information with
an analog/digital converter.
The speed of the measuring wheel is recorded with the speed transmitter G and comes into the micropro-
cessor system through a frequency/digital converter. The frequency/digital and analog/digital converter are
components of the control system.
The measurement processing system calculates the quantity of material running through per unit of time
(meaning the momentary flow rate) from the torque and speed.
This system is suited for installation in encapsulated conveying paths.

3.3.2 Automatic control

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

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

General Diagram
The general procedure for batch operation is shown in the following figure:
Fig. 2: Feeding
The segments shown in the figure mean the following:

0: Start the batch with a preset batch setpoint in units of weight.
1: Interrupt batch operation by switching off the discharge element.
2: Resume the interrupted batch by switching on the feeder.
3: Automatic reduction of the flow rate towards the end of the batch.
4: End automatically once the predetermined batch quantity has been reached.
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 individual
reading, displaying 4 readings in line font size or displaying as many as 9 adjustable readings in the pa-
rameters 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 warn-
ings that do not require acknowledgement (yellow). Alarms will shut down the scales, warnings will not.
All alarms are also signaled via a relay output.

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

▪ Either DEUTSCH, ENGLISH, FR-FRANCAIS, ES-ESPANOL, IT-ITALIANO, CN-CHINESE, JP-
JAPANESE, RU-RUSSIAN, HU-HUNGARIAN, NL-NETHERLAND as you choice or a language that can
be loaded in (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 P02.06 Feeder Start and P02.07 Feedrate Setpoint parameters (howev-
er, only with charging systems).
Mains power failure

▪ Scales data, adjustment data, counter readings and quantity signals not yet issued are retained indefi-
nitely after a mains power failure, the time is retained for approx. 5 days.

General Diagram
Zeroing
▪ It is set to zero without any material using a program that runs automatically.
▪ Zeroing should be started manually at regular intervals if automatic operation has not been preselected.
▪ The maximum permitted zeroing correction is monitored.
Zero drop out

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

▪ For the duty cycle of the voltage supply, the operating time of the scales and the next zeroing.
Adjustment
▪ It is not necessary to calibrate the pick-up input. Certain design data have to be keyed in. The system
uses this data to calculate all of the scaling required for the displays. It can be controlled or readjusted
using two different methods.
▪ Control with material: the result of a material inspection is entered into the system and it serves to cor-
rect the measurement result.

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 VOL is shown in the service values in volumetric operation. Vis shown in the
header and VOLS. is shown in the service values in volumetric synchronous operation.
There is no separate status display in gravimetric operation, i.e. normal operation.
Characteristics:
All operation functions can be executed
All control inputs and outputs 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 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/off and specifying the setpoint and target batching values to the INTECONT keyboard .
Stop Keyboard Mode will again select the previous sources.
The on-off status and setpoints will be retained when switching to the keyboard from an external source
(e.g. serial). The external signals are effective when switching in the opposite direction.
Display:
One part of the actual value display in the upper display area is the line containing information on the status
and process of the program. OP here signifies that OP Mode is active.
7.3 Prefeeder
The Particip. Prefeeder or Stop Prefeeder functions determine the impact of INTECONT on the prefeeder.
This function is activated in normal operation and INTECONT takes on controlling the prefeeder. The ma-
terial flow is interrupted when it is off and the scale can be tared, etc.

Mode functions
7.4 Simulation
In simulation mode, all functions of the scales can be tested without material during start-up. The scales
cannot be used for normal operation during simulation.
Display:
▪ Event message SY14 Event: Simulation active
▪ One part of the actual value display in the upper display area is the line containing information on the
status and process of the program: Here 'SIM' signifies that Simulation Mode is active.
▪ This function can be turned off again with Stop Simulation in the same fashion.
Characteristics:
1. All operation functions can be executed
2. The actual feed rate is set at the setpoint feed rate for feeder systems. This value will be set as per
P02.02 Nominal Flow Rate for measuring systems.
3. Belt load and speed measuring are active for belt-based systems.
4. All inputs and outputs operate as set.
7.5 Measuring
Measuring Wheel
In normal operation the measuring wheel is turned on automatically when measuring is turned on. It will turn
off again once measuring is ended if the parameter P02.08Wheel Continous Operationis not at YES.
▪ The material prefeeder switches off immediately if the measuring wheel is turned off during a running
measurement, and the measurement itself will stop once P07.05 Measuring Delay has elapsed.
▪ The measuring wheel is turned on automatically when measuring is turned on or when the adjustment
programs TW: Tareand >0< Zero Set are called up.
▪ The functionality of the measuring wheel can be tested for service purposes using the functions Start
Wheel and Stop Wheel.
▪ The measuring wheel will always shut down if an alarm is triggered.

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

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

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

11.1 Batching mode

A preselected quantity of material is dispatched in batching mode. When the batch setpoint is reached, the
system is switched off and the feeding process is ended.
Display:
If Batch Mode is selected, the summation symbol Ɖ appears in the header.
Relevant data in the middle and lower display zone: Batch Setpoint, Batch Actual Value and Batch Residual
Amount.
Before starting a batch, Batch Actual Value and Batch Residual Amount show the amounts reached by the
previous batch. Deselecting Batch Mode means that the displays are no longer accessible, although they
appear again with the new preselection.
The format of the display is determined by P02.09 Counter 1 Unit and also by P02.16 Z1-Numberstep, de-
pending on the application.

12.1 Parameter Input

A technical data sheet is part of the scope of delivery. It contains all important nominal and calibration data
acc. specification. We will therefore list only a few important pieces of information and some recommenda-
tions at this point. It makes sense to go through all of the parameters and consider the value entered.
Parameter block Dialog Behaviour:

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

Parameters P02.04 Pulses per Motorrevolution and P02.05 Nominal Speed are important for adjustment.
The dimension data should be adapted to the Nominal Flow Rate. Flow Rate Units P02.01 resolution should
not be greater than 4 ... 5 decimals for a quiet display.
The output frequency should not be greater than 10 Hz if an external quantity counter is connected.
Parameter block Calibration Data:

All calibration and evaluation data are important and must be entered exactly. Most of the details can be
found in the technical data sheets.
Parameter block Calibrat. Results:

No input is needed. P04.02 Range Correction should be at 1 at initial adjustment. We recommend that once
you have entered the rated data you check whether the load cell becomes overloaded by the rated feed
rate.
12.2 Function Check

1. Turn on the equipment. The switch-on process depends on the preselected Feeder Start P02.06 source.
2. A rotating cross appears in the header as a progress indicator. If not, there is no release or the ON but-
ton was not pressed.
3. Take any event messages which appear into account and remove the error.
4. Check the following:
Load cell: The initial non-standardized value of the load cell amplifier may not be any more than
2.85 mV/V even when the weighing platform is at rated load. It must change if the weighing platform is
placed under load (e.g. calibration weight). If the value is too large, the load cell is overloaded. If the val-
ue 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
12.3 Check with bulk solids

Each test or calibration with calibration weights can only approximate the actual operating conditions. A
highly accurate continuous measurement can only be achieved by making several measurements with bulk
material and a subsequent correction. P04.02 Range Correction is used for correction. 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 scale must
be cleaned and re-weighed (tared) before each filling. The commercial scales must be sufficiently accu-
rate to measure the MW quantity.
The new value Material Correctionnew is calculated from the prior value Material Correctionold out of the MA
meter progress of continuous measurement and the mass MW calculated on the check-scale as follows:
Material Correctionnew = Material Correctionold * MW / MA

Tab. 1 : Using parameter sets
Note: Parameters not required for an application can be faded out or declared 'read only' using EasyServe
in expert mode. EasyServe compiles a list of visible parameters that form an integral part of the system do-
cumentation. Together with the operating manual they make up the relevant control system documentation
for an application. The parameter list contained in the operating manual contains all of the parameters re-
gardless of their actual use in an application.
In addition to the parameter set stored in the scales, we recommend that after commissioning you keep a
copy of the parameter set in a mass storage medium using EasyServe.
The parameters are arranged into blocks to for clarity. A parameter is uniquely identified by its block and
number within that block in the respective scales software version, e.g. 'P01.03' means 'parameter block 1,
parameter no.3'.

Parameters
Notes:
▪ Gaps can appear between block numbers and parameters within the blocks. In rare cases, the number
of a parameter may change.
▪ Furthermore, each parameter has a unique ID with which it can be addressed via an interface (serial,
fieldbus). This ID can be seen as a 'Tooltip' in EasyServe when passing over the parameter and can be
output in the parameter printout.

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

tion.
Preselection of the automatic zeroing system that corrects the zero point in operation with-
out flowing bulk solids.
Conditions:
- the measuring wheel is running and the prefeeder is switched off

P08.05 Zero Drop-Out Active Default: NO

Alternative: NO
YES
The zero drop out function sets the display of the flow rate to zero when the load drops
below the threshold value in P08.05 Zero Drop-Out Active. This prevents the totalizing

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

P13.08 Deviation abs. max.
P13.07 Event: Deviation
P13.05 Threshold Deviation Default: 5 %

Min: 0 % Max: 100 %

the control deviation for the duration P13.04 Time Deviation is greater than the threshold
P13.05 Threshold Deviation.
With a setpoint of 100%, the effective threshold is always determined by the parameter
P13.05 Threshold Deviation. For lower setpoints the threshold can be reduced with para-
meter P13.06 Factor Deviation.
Examples:
P13.06 = 0 : Effective threshold = P13.05 × Setpoint / P02.02
P13.06 = 1 : Effective threshold = P13.05
P13.07 Event: Deviation Default: W1

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

- error in the electronics
- check the cable to the external output regulator and to the motor. Check the output regu-
lator settings (current limiting, speed range)
- calibration error: during initial calibration the regulator was set at such a critical value that
minor changes in the overall properties of the system lead to unreliable operation.
Also refer to: P13.08 Deviation abs. max., P13.06 Factor Deviation, P13.05 Threshold Dev-
iation, P13.04 Time Deviation
P13.08 Deviation abs. max. Default: 100 %

Min: 0.1 % Max: 1000 %
The amount of the control deviation will be filtered (filter time constant: P13.04 Time Devia-
tion). If the filter output exceeds the limit set here a 'control deviation' event will be identified

At Nominal Flow Rate Y should be between about 10...14 mA.
P13.10 Lower Limit Default: 0 mA

Lower limit for the regulator actuating variable.
If transfer is made with currents of between 4 ... 20 mA, the parameter must be set to 4 mA
at least. P13.12 Controller Magnitude Offset must be set to a value equal to or greater than
P13.10 Lower Limit.
Also refer to: P13.12 Controller Magnitude Offset
Only relevant to P13.01 Controller Type = Continuous
P13.11 Upper Limit Default: 20 mA

Upper limit for the regulator actuating variable.
This limit depends on the size of the setpoint with inputs less than 20 mA.
Also refer to:

A description of the effect of the upper limit can be found in chapter 'Appendix'

Parameters
P13.12 Controller Magnitude Offset Default: 0 mA

Offset of the actuating variable by a constant value. The offset takes effect before the limi-
tation of the actuating variable.
Generally the same values are chosen for P13.12 Controller Magnitude Offset as for
P13.10 Lower Limit.
Optimization:
- fill the feeder hopper with bulk material
- calculate the actuating variable Y1, the value at which the discharge unit begins to work
- calculate the actuating variable Y2, the value at which reduction of the feed is suspended.
For feeders that are operated with flow rate setpoints of 0:
P13.12 Controller Magnitude Offset = Y2
All other feeders:
P13.12 Controller Magnitude Offset = Y1
Note: P13.12 Controller Magnitude Offset must be equal to or greater than P13.10 Lower
Limit.
P13.13 Position at STOP Default: 0

Alternative: 0
Lower Limit
If the scales are switched off the actuating variable can be set to 0 or to the offset value in
the 'lower limit' parameter.
0: the actuating variable is set to 0 when the scales are switched off.
Lower limit: the actuating variable is set to the lower limit.
P13.14 Volumetric Start-Up Default: 0 s

Length of time it takes to begin volumetric operation once the scales have been switched
on. If selected, feeding will switch to gravimetric operation once the startup time has past.

The optional speed controller is also active during startup.

Parameters
P13.15 Setpoint Offset Default: 0 mA

Input current offset for an analog setpoint of 0 % of Nominal Flow Rate.
This parameter takes effect only if P02.07 Feedrate Setpoint has been set to AI.

YES : save
YES-A : only save if the scale has not broken down due to an alarm.
P13.18 Bypass Default: 10 mA

The controller magnitude to the prefeeder is calculated from a portion from the controller
and a portion calculated through the bypass constant from the flow rate set value. The cur-
rent should be set in P13.18 at which the prefeeder supplies the nominal flow rate (P02.02
Nominal Flow Rate).

Parameters
P13.19 Setpoint Filter 1st Ord Default: 0 s

1st-order filter in the setpoint branch. Does not function for the bypass.
P13.20 Setpoint Filter 2nd Ord Default: 2 s

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

through a reconstruction of the controlled member. The setpoint filters P13.19 and P13.20
delay the controller while the bypass comes to the controller magnitude output without a
delay.
The filter is switched off with P13.20 = 0.

prevent continuous vibration of the prefeeder around the operating point.
P13.24 Compensation Element Default: 0 1/s

Min: 0 1/s Max: 60000 1/s
The compensation element is an additional integrator in the control deviation branch that
only
functions in gravimetric operation. It is used to
• overcoming the trigger threshold.
• reducing contouring errors with monotonically changing malfunctions.
• avoid the remaining control deviations with a non-symmetrical
control element and cyclical malfunctions.
The input and output of the compensation element are limited to 5 %. The parameter gives
the integration constant.
Special case: P13.24=0: The integrator is cleared.
Configuration for the compensation element to correct contouring errors. There might be
contouring errors if the volumetric flow rate depends on the level of a bin and the bin is
emptied.

13.3.2.20 Parameter Block 21 - Safety Functions

The parameters in this group define special monitoring events when feeding dangerous bulk materials. The-
se functions must be activated if feeding pulverized coal.
P21.01 Feeder Check FC Default: NO

Alternative: NO
YES
The controller magnitude can be monitored in relation to the flow rate setpoint. Major devia-
tions indicate a malfunction in the external part of the flow rate control circuit. When the
controller magnitude is too large in relation to the flow rate setpoint, that indicates that vo-
lumetric feeding is idling. Some reasons for this can be a clogged conveying element, a
blockade in the feed bin or an empty feed bin. After breaking down the blockade, the flow
rate might increase since the controller magnitude is very large.
On the other hand, if the flow rate is too small in relation to the flow rate setpoint, this indi-
cates that either bulk solids are flowing without control through the conveying element (bulk
solids is shooting) or there is a defect in measuring the material flow.
Monitoring is activated with this parameter and stopped through P21.02 FC: Tolerance at
100% - P21.08 DO: FC-MIN Limit. You can find the details of its function in the appendix.
P21.02 FC: Tolerance at 100% Default: 40 %

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.

18.2 Set option

There is the option of activating fieldbus coupling Ethernet/IP by software. This unit issues an unambiguous
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.

Appendix
18.3 Test Connector
A basic function control of the INTECONT can be carried out using a simple test connector. In this way an
error can be limited between the load cell with wiring and electrical equipment.
1. Connect the connector as shown in the diagram
2. Disconnect load cell connector X10 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 P03.01 = 2 mV/V and approx. 39 % if P03.01 = 2.85 mV/V
If lc is in the listed areas, the pick-up input is free of errors.
Note:
With other resistances R1 and R2, the LC Raw is calculated to 500 * R2/R1 [mV/V].
The test plug is available as an accessory.

Time Condition
1 Feeding does not begin with the on command since the release signal has not been given.
2 To start, the scale requires the rising slope of a start command.
3 Feeding is started with the rising slope.
4 Feed rate control will operate in volumetric mode during the startup time defined in P13.14 (also refer
to: Volumetric / (Volumetric Synchronous) / Gravimetric Modes of Regulator Operation).
5 Changing over in normal gravimetrically controlled feeding operation (assuming gravimetric mode
was previously selected). Control stays in volumetric mode (assuming it was previously selected by
the operator).
6 Feeding will be switched off if there is no all-clear signal (or if the switch on command was removed).
7 The feed rate will continue being calculated for the time set in P07.06 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.

Tab. 16 : Designations in the signal flow diagram
The measuring wheel exercises a force on the dynamometer (WZ) through lever H. The output tension of
the dynamometer Ua is reinforced and transformed into the unprocessed measurement value with the ana-
log-digital converter A/D .
The feed rate is inversely proportional to the rotational speed n.
Feed rate measurement is switched off for rotational speeds lower than 0.01* Nominal Speed.
18.6 The flow rate regulation

A flow rate controller is only available when P01.05 is set to YES.
The flow rate is controlled via volumetric discharge performance of the feeder before the measuring unit.
The machine adjusts this performance so that the measured mass flow corresponds to setting feed rate
value.
Different types of feeder are used. Two different controller models are available for this. The controller mo-
del is selected via P13.01.

Tab. 18 : Signals, blocks and parameters in the constant controller
PI controller with bypass details

The central control unit consists of a PI controller for the flow rate of the model
The standard PI controller is also equipped with a setpoint bypass (P13.18). The bypass quickly carries out
setpoint jumps even if the controller is set slowly. Beyond this, the bypass allows controlled (volumetric)
operation.
To prevent overshoot, the setpoint is decoupled from the actual controller through a reconstruction of the
controlled member (P13.19 and P13.20). The controller is also equipped with controller magnitude limitation
(P13.10 and P13.11) dependant upon the setpoint. The controller is stopped and an event is identified
(message) when reaching the lower or upper controller magnitude limit.
The relationship between the controller parameters and the actuating variable is shown schematically in the
following diagram.

Parameter Special case

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

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

Tab. 19 : Special cases for KP and TN parameters
Parameters Effect
P13.14 The duration of volumetric start-up operation once the scale has been switched on
Volumetric Start-Up in seconds
P13.17 NO: The I-proportion is not stored when switching off

Store YES: The I-proportion is stored when switched off and has an impact when starting
up
YES-A: The I-proportion is stored when switched off and has an impact when start-
ing up when feeding is not switched off by an alarm.
P13.18 One value is superimposed additively on the actuating variable, proportionally to the
Bypass preset setpoint. This parameter gives the bypass value for the nominal setpoint.
P13.19 The filters delay the setpoint for the controller while the bypass comes to the control-
Setpoint Filter 1st Ord ler magnitude output without a delay.
This has the purpose of approximately adjusting the time characteristics of the con-
P13.20 trolled member to prevent the actual value from overshooting on setpoint jumps.

Tab. 20 : Set-up notes for parameters in the constant controller
Condition Characteristics
Change in the parameter The I component is not converted when parameters are changed which means that
values there might be jumps in the controller magnitude Y. If these jumps cannot be tolerated,
there should only be major changes in the (P13.18) bypass when feeding is switched
off.
Network connection The stored values in the I component and in the filters are set to zero.
Switch off feeding Stored components of the setpoint filter are set to zero. The value of the I component
is determined by P13.17.
Starting up feeding The feeder is switched on when all conditions are met.
The controller magnitude is set to the value of the setpoint bypass. The rise in P13.12
and the stored I component of the controller overlap one another consecutively as per
P13.17.
The setpoint filter starts working simultaneously from zero.
The flow rate controller works according to P13.14 in volumetric operation during the
start-up period. After the start-up period, the controller ts released and gravimetric
operation begins.

Appendix
Condition Characteristics
Standby The drive for protecting the motor is switched off if the setpoint drops below the limit
set in P06.09 for longer than three seconds. The controller magnitude is set to the
lower value corresponding to P13.12. It continues to report outwards that feeding is in
progress.
The controller does not function and the I component of the flow rate controller is de-
leted or stays stored depending upon P13.17.
Measurement remains active.
Normal operation is switched on immediately if the setpoint exceeds the threshold
value set defined in P06.09.
Gravimetric operating mode The actual flow rate value is set to the effective setpoint through the material feeder.
Volumetric operating mode Only the setpoint bypass and rise act as a controller magnitude. The feeder is con-
trolled proportional to the setpoint. The I component of the controller is deleted regard-
less of the P13.17 while the setpoint filters continue to run.
Volumetrically synchronous In contrast to volumetric operation, switching synchronously from gravimetric to volu-
operation type metric makes it possible to switch over from the gravimetric operating mode without a
bump by including the current controller output value.
Simulation The control circuit is closed internally in simulation operation. The measured values Q
and n are also simulated (Q=Qnominal, n = nominal speed).
The simulated value is shown as the flow rate. The controller magnitude Y is propor-
tional to the setpoint and is 10 mA specifying the nominal setpoint.
Operating modes, switching sources on/off and setpoint sources function as usual in
simulation operation.
The task: testing the plant, especially the control processes. Learning operation.
The characteristics in the The components stored in the controller are set to zero when selectively switching off
'Prefeeder – Stop' mode the feeder just as when switching off feeding. However, totalizing continues to functi-
on.
Tab. 21 : Characteristics in special operational states

Appendix
Monitoring control deviation

The control deviation is displayed and monitored in gravimetric operation only.
The display, but not the monitoring system input, is filtered by parameter P07.07.
Event message P13.04 will be triggered if the value of the error signal Xd exceeds the limit value S1 for a
duration defined in parameter "Event: Deviation". Monitoring will restart if the error signal falls below the
threshold during this time.
At the same time, the control deviation value is filtered (filter time in parameter P13.04) and the filter output
is monitored. Event 'Event: Deviation' will be identified if the filter output exceeds the threshold value S2.
Threshold values S1 and S2 can be adapted to the current feed rate setpoint by means of the following for-
mulas:
S1 = P13.05 * [P13.06 + (1 - P13.06) * Feed rate setpoint / P02.02]
S2 = P13.08 * [P13.06 + (1 - P13.06) * 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 P13.05 or. P13.08 F Influence Factor P13.06

18.6.2 Step controller

The controller functions as a three-point switch to moving position-controlled flow gates OPEN and
CLOSED and feed gates, etc. The controller model is switched on via P13.01 = Stepping and is only availa-
ble for feeding systems (P01.05 = YES).

Appendix
Parameters Effect
P13.21 The proportional component (P component) of the stepping controller.

The reference quantity is the nominal flow rate in P02.02
P13.22 Readjusting time

This is the time when the same controller magnitude change is caused by the I component as by
the P component.
P13.23 The trigger threshold in % of P02.02

The trigger threshold should be greater than the smallest possible step of the actuator.
The feeder stands still if the control deviation is smaller than the trigger threshold.
P13.24 The time constant of the compensation element

The compensation element contains an additional integrator (refer to constant controller) to bal-
ance out contouring errors dependant upon bin levels. The compensation element only functions
in gravimetric operation.
The compensation element is ineffective at P13.24 = 0.
Tab. 22 : The control parameters for the step controller
Value Meaning
Network ON Delete all elements to be stored

(the controller and compensation integrator)
Scale OFF The 'feeder ON' contact is reset and all elements to be stored are
deleted.
Scales ON The scale begins to work until the elapse of the start-up period in
volumetric operation.
Afterwards, it switches over to gravimetric regulation.
Volumetric operation Switch M to 'vol/start-up'

The feeder is set to a position proportional to the setpoint. The
compensation integrator is deleted and becomes ineffective.
Gravimetric operation Switch M to 'grav.' (drawn position).

The actual flow rate value is set to the effective setpoint through the
position of the feeder.
The compensation integrator is active.

18.7 Linearization
Before adjusting linearization, it is necessary to calibrate the measuring equipment with linearization
(P14.01 = NO) switched off. Then call up the tare function without bulk solids after keying in the relevant
parameters. Afterwards it will be necessary to make an initial measurement with bulk solids at a feed rate as
high as possible to check the proportionality factor P04.02 Range Correction between the measurement
and feed rate (and readjust wherever necessary).
Linearization should be carried out at k (k < 5) measuring points with differing flow rates I(k) in the flow rate
zone relevant to production. We recommend distributing the points I(k) with equal spaces over the relevant
zone. There is an additional point at flow rate = zero that is automatically adjusted by taring without a flow of
bulk solids. The curve is continued at a constant gradient above the highest point. This is why the two high-
est points should be sufficiently far apart from another to correctly define the gradient.
Furthermore, the points in both axes have to be rising monotonically.
