n The first section (Item 1.1) explains what function blocks are and how they
convert a weighing task into a function block diagram.
n The second section (Item 1.2 (will tell you how to enter the function block
diagram into DISOMAT with the aid of keyboard and menu tree and gives
examples how to enter and change function block parameters.
n The third section (Item 1.3) provides an overview of the DISOMAT function
block parameters.
You may change an existing function block linkage at any time and thus adapt the
device to the new weighing task.
Weighing Task:
Maintain hopper level at a maximum value. If hopper level is too low, start refilling
and replenish hopper until maximum level is reached again.
Control Task:
From the viewpoint of control, it takes a Set/Act comparison. Measure GROSS
weight of load on scale and compare it with setpoint. If GROSS weight lies below
setpoint, a contact opens the refill gate/valve.
n Limit value
and
(b) Output result to refill gate/valve for this to open or shut, as the case may be.
Limit value:
Limit value is entered into function block Comparator 1. Use menu tree.
Parameters
Part of function blocks use parameters to define principle of operation.
Input, Output
The majority of function blocks have an input and an output to
allow a link to be made to other function blocks. They can be
linked to other function blocks on either side. For example, the
function block ‘Comparator 1’ has an input called ‘Input’ and an
output called ‘Comparator 1’. You can link the input to the
output of another function block (e.g. ‘Gross’). You can link the
output to the input of another function block (e.g. ‘Output 1’).
Do not confuse function block input and output with function block groups External
Input (EXT-IN), Internal Input (INT-IN), External Output (EXT-OUT) and Internal
Output (INT-OUT). These function block groups contain function blocks designed
for data communication.
Interconnection Points:
Function blocks that either relay data outwards or receive external data are
equipped either with inputs only or outputs only.
Function blocks are linked by given rules. Take this into consideration when
designing function block diagram.
Example
GROSS value from function block Gross is output in analog form from output
Gross. It does not make good sense to try to link this function block with function
block EDP-Out1. Function block EDP-Out1 can output binary values only (0 or 1).
Visualization
Analog inputs and outputs are shown as dots.
Analog Inputs/Outputs
An analog signal is multivalent. Within its range, each signal is assigned to a value
step.
An analog input can be linked to an analog output only. Analog link is shown as a
dashed line.
Binary Inputs/Outputs
A binary signal is bivalent. It assumes two states (logical 0 and logical 1).
A binary output can be linked to a binary input only. Binary linkage is shown as a
continuous line.
Information (analog or binary) always flows from output of a function block to input
of the next function block.
Example
You wish to use GROSS weight of function block Gross to control refill gate/valve
(Output1 contact), and to output value simultaneously at an external analog
indicator.
The DISOMAT function block library contains function block Analog Output
(AnaOut). It can pass on analog signals via terminal bus on device rear panel to
an analog indicator.
Information (analog GROSS weight or binary information) always flows from output
to input. If you were to link several outputs to one input, the input would be hazy
about which output information flowing its way was the valid one.
Rule 2
Analog inputs cannot be linked to binary outputs.
Binary inputs cannot be linked to analog outputs.
In particular, check whether the device outputs the expected output quantities
when you change the DISOMAT input quantities (scales weight, keypad, input
contacts).
Refer to the overview of the menu tree: operating manual BV-H 2335.
Steps
1. Enter the password (service password)
2. Go to menu item ‘423: Edit‘
3. Select first function block X (e.g. Analog Output), whose input is to be linked,
proceeding as follows:
q Select function block group A (e.g. EXT-OUT)
block Y (Gross).
q Select output (Gross) associated with function block Y (Gross).
9. The variant will be saved in the device under the name ‘Altered’
Note:
During editing, control function block output contacts are not updated so that
ongoing control operations are not updated either. This may cause scale control
faults.
Example
If you wish to know more about individual function blocks, refer to Alphabetical List
(Item 1.4) and look up under abbreviation of the particular function block.
Comparators (COMPARATORS)
Function blocks of this particular function block group perform comparisons of
analog values with limit values. They output the result of comparison as binary
information.
Fieldbus (FIELDBUS)
Function blocks of this particular function block group are designed as transfer
points for analog and binary information in or from function block diagram.
However, information can be loaded/processed only from a connected process
management system.
Scales
Function blocks of this particular function block group are designed to output
information of a special measuring input or connect the latter as current scale.
I/O EXPANSION
The function blocks of this function block group are interconnection points for
analog and binary data to/from external connected IO modules.
EXTERNAL
Function blocks of this function block group are generated by loading a SMALL
program into the device. They assist in the solution of customer-specific problems
that could not otherwise be solved using the existing function blocks alone.

1. Feeding
n Feeding from hopper:
Dribble feed contact closes (Output DDribble turns 1) and feeding from hopper
commences. If prefill value is reached, feeding continues in full feed (Output
DDribble turns 0, D-Full turns 1). Another alternative is to trigger feed units
functioning in an analog fashion which the Controller Magnitude signal is used
for.
n Feeding from hopper complete
If main contact value is reached, feeding from hopper is complete (Output
DDribble turns 0).
n It is refilled if it is in excess of the setpoint for the content of the bin (depending
upon the Automatic Filling/Unloading parameter). It is sometimes necessary to
restart feed operation with the Material Start input.
n Settling time elapses.
n After feeding, DISOMAT retains NET weight (amount fed out) until set delay
time has elapsed. A further start (during multiple dosage) is only possible at
expiration of the waiting period. If you set wait time to 0.0s, tare memory is
automatically cleared and scale is ready for next feeding operation.
2. Refilling
The hopper is filled (Output E-Fill becomes 1) if the gross weight on the scales
is smaller than/equal to the Min. Fill Level sort parameter value or if the Gross
value < Setpoint value at the start. The filling will continue for as long as the
gross weight on the scales is larger than/equal to the sort parameter value
Max. Fill Level.
The refill procedure is then complete (output E-Fill becomes 0).
n Stop feeding
Feeding process can be stopped at any time.
Stop is triggered by change of edges from 0 to 1 at input Stop. Stopped are all
active feeding and refilling processes. Output D-Stop goes to 0. All other
outputs with the exception of output D-Active go to 0. Stop of feed is briefly
displayed with Stop Feed. Feeding continues after renewed change from 0 to
1 at input Start. All outputs assume their previous states. Feeding continues in
regular fashion.
n Abort feeding
The feeding operation can be aborted at any time. A switch in the level of the
Stop input from 0 to 1 subsequent to an interruption will stop the procedure, as
will a change from 0 to 1 at the Abort input.
All outputs become 0. Output D-Resid reports residual amount to be fed.
(Partial) amount fed out is balanced; the number of feed processes,
incremented by 1.
What If?
There will be no change in behavior if an event message in the category
Warning Feed Operation is output.
1. Event message.
Feeding stops.
D-Full =0
DDribble =0
D-Fill =0
D-Resid = Status same as before power failure
D-Active =1
D-Stop =1
Example:
See Operating Instructions BV-H 2339aa “Filling/Discharge Scale” and Operating
Manual BV-H 2335GB.
Special Features:
n Advantage: Weight is compared 132 times per second during feeding
operation instead of 10 times per second.
Disadvantage: For program technical reasons, function block outputs
D-Full/DDribble are firmly linked with contact outputs Output1 OUT1 to
Output3 OUT2.
The back-read output information only of the respective contact output (refer
to function block ‘Output1’) can be used at the respective outputs of the
function block ‘DischargeFast’ for further function block switching.
n Switching behaviour of D-Full and DDribble is parallel instead of
sequential. This was necessary to avoid a ‘gap’ in changeover from full feed
to dribble feed (no contact set).
The implementation prevents this ‘gap’ from occurring during ‘normal’
discharge weighing!
n Upon feed start, Output1 (D-Full) and Output2 (DDribble) are set. If
prefilling is selected, (smooth start), Output2 (DDribble) is set alone; Output2
(D-Full) is added once prefill value is reached. Feeding
continues in full feed until dribble feed changeover value is reached. Output1
is reset, Output2 remains available until dribble fed cut-off
value is reached.
n Fast Discharge can only be used with scales 1 or 2 in fast mode. The
measuring rate will return t o10 Hz if the scales are used as twin-unit scales.

1st Feeding
n Feeding into hopper
Potentially partially filled hopper will be tared if Tare = Yes.
The scales tare value at the time of the begin of feeding operation will be used
if Tare = No.
The dribble feed contact closes (output F-Drib becomes 1); feeding into the
hopper begins. Feeding will switch from dribble feed to full feed once the pre-fill
value has been reached (output F-Drib becomes 0, F-Full becomes 1).
Feeding will switch from full feed to dribble feed once the pre-act contact value
has been reached (output F-Full becomes 0, F-Drib becomes 1). Alternatively,
analog feeding organs can be controlled. The actuating variable signal is used
for this.
n Completing feeding operation
Hopper filling is stopped once the main contact value is reached (output F-Drib
becomes 0).
n The hopper may be emptied if the gross value exceeds the Max. Fill Level sort
parameter (depends on the parameter ‘Auto Fill/Dis.’). The minimum discharge
time at least will remain at the output F-Dis. Feeding may then need to be
restarted via the Material Start input.
n Delay time begins counting down.
Example: Optimization factor is 0.5. Main contact value (MainCon old) of last feed is in
the region of 2 kg. Current feed has yielded 49 kg. Setpoint is 50 kg. Main
contact of current feed MainConnew is changed to:
MainConnew = 2 + 0.5 · (49-50) = 1.5
2. Discharging active
If the gross weight on the scales is larger than/equal to the Max. Fill Level sort
parameter after a feeding operation, the hopper will be emptied
(output F-Dis. becomes 1).
Start/Stop Feeding
n Start feeding
Feeding starts after change of edges from 0 to 1 across input Start.
n Stop feeding
Feeding process can be stopped at any time.
Stop is triggered by change of edges from 0 to 1 at input Stop. Stopped are all
active feeding and refilling processes. Output F-Stop goes to 1. All other
outputs with the exception of output F-Active become 0. Output F-Resid
continues reporting the residual amount to be fed out. Stop of feeding is
displayed with “Feed Stopped”. Feeding continues after renewed change of
edges from 0 to 1 at input Start. All outputs assume their previous states.
Feeding continues in regular fashion.
n Abort feeding
Feeding process can be aborted at any time.
Abort is triggered by change from 0 to 1 at input Stop following a stop.
Abort of feeding is displayed with Abort Feed.
All outputs become 0. Output F-Resid reports residual amount to be fed.
(Partial) amount fed out is balanced; the number of feed processes, incre-
mented by 1.
What If?
Example:
See Filling/Discharge Scale Operating Instructions BV-H 2339aa and Operating
Manual BV-H 2335GB.
Special Features:
n Advantage: Weight is compared 132 times per second during feeding
operation instead of 10 times per second Cut-off is considerably faster.
Disadvantage: For program technical reasons, function block outputs
D-Full/DDribble/D-Fill are firmly linked with contact outputs Output1 OUT1 to
Output3 OUT2.
Only the read-back information of the respective contact output (refer to
function block ‘Output 1’) can be utilized at the corresponding function block
outputs for further function block connections.
n The switching behavior between F-Full and F-Drib is parallel rather than
sequential. This is necessary to avoid ‘gaps’ (no contact set) when switching
from full feed to dribble feed. No ‘gaps’ occur during normal feeding because of
its rate of measurement!
n Filling Scales Fast can only be performed on scales 1 or scales 2 because of
the measuring rate of 132 Hz. If connected, Filling Scales Fast operates at 10
Hz just like the normal filling scales.
n Upon feed start, Output 1 (F-Full) and Output 2 (FDribble) are set. If
prefilling is selected, (smooth start), Output 2 (FDribble) is set alone; Output 2
(F-Full) is added once prefill value is reached. Feeding continues in full feed
until dribble feed changeover value is reached. Output 1 is reset, Output 2
remains available until dribble fed cut-off value s reached.

Material / Material 2
Symbol:
Memory 1/2
Symbol:
Function: Function block stores analog value across input MemInp and
outputs value at Output MemOutp1/2. Storage of value across input
MemInp takes place when input Set = 1.
With use of a different circuitry, memory can be used to store both
analog and digital signals and as GATE circuitry.
Analog Memory: By logical 1 across input Set (falling edge) and logical 0 across
input Reset, analog value across input MemInp is stored. Analog
value is therefore continuously available across output MemOutp.
In addition, logical 1 is output at output Hold. This indicates that a
value has been written to memory. See also Example 1.
Digital Memory: Set = 1 across input leads to Output Hold = 1. Output Hold
becomes 0 when Reset = 1, independent of signal across input Set.
See also Example 2.
GATE Circuitry: In the case of a GATE circuitry, analog value across input MemInp
is connected through to input MemOutp as long as logical 1 is
available across input Set. When input Set drops out, value at time
of drop-out is stored. Output of analog value 0.0 is achieved by
Reset logical 1 at input.
Parameters: None
value is stored.
Solution: Link function blocks Output2 and Memory 1 as well as Memory 1, Input1
and Fault. Fault message leads to output Hold1 = 1, and LED lights up.
This status is stored, independent of other status across input Set. When
input Set = 0, with external push-button pressed (input Reset), Output
Hold can again turn 0. LED goes out.

Multiplier are linked. The parameter Factor is set to 0.8 for the
Multiplier function block. The parameter Range is set to 0-20 mA for
the Analog Output function block.

Parameters: None
1. Receiving Sequence:
2. Load-Out Sequence:
A certain amount of material is ”loaded” and recorded.
A weigh hopper is continuously filled and discharged. The operation
terminates automatically once setpoint is reached.
Filling and discharged is controlled as a function of input signals
Surge Hopper Closed or Weigh Hopper Closed. Receiving/loading
sequence can be stopped, continued and aborted at any time with the
use of the Start/Stop inputs. Using the CheckStop input, the
operation can be stopped for check/calibration purposes.
The required parameter settings for the receiving/load-out weighing are divided as
follows:
n Function-specific data
- Idle time = Maximum time limit before which the scales should have
identified idle state.
- Minimum discharge time = The minimum time for which the discharge contact
is set.
- Mode of feeding = Discharge scales or filling scales
- Zeroing = The scales are zeroed every X fills. (0 -> no zeroing)
Scales used = The scales at which the feed operation is performed.
n Sort-specific data
- These can be entered in the menu tree under 473: Sort.
n Before starting first load-out operation, select material number (1-10) and enter
load-out setpoint by function key operation (see Function Block Linkage) or in
menu tree ‘1:Enter Setpoint’. Selection of material number is relevant only for
material specific balancing.
The partial amounts fed out are automatically added into totals memory and
particular material totals memory.
Operating Sequence:
The description refers to the ‘Discharge Scales’ mode of operation. The ‘Filling
Scales’ mode of operation works quicker on the whole (no taring) but can only be
used for smooth-flowing materials such as grain.
The Receiving Scale sequence consists of a limited number of dumps.
Receiving terminates after operation of Stop/Abort key or if material is out
(realizable by function block linkage).
The operating sequence described below is identical for receiving and load-out
weighing.
Start Weighing:
Start filling process when level changes from 0 to 1 at Input Start and Output
R-Active becomes 1.
1. Filling
n Open Surge Hopper contact closes, (Output R-Surge Hopper
becomes 1), filling of hopper commences.
n Filling stops (output A-surge hopper becomes 0) once the full value has been
reached (sort parameter Max. Fill Level).
n Wait for signal edge to change from 0 to 1 at input Surge Hopper Closed. To
protect loaded amount from being falsified by afterflowing material, DISOMAT
waits for surge hopper to close. Wait time is unlimited.
Attention:
During filling, DISOMAT does not check weigh hopper for being closed.
2. Discharging
After taring of scale, hopper is discharged (Output R-Disch becomes 1).
Discharging continuous until:
n The gross weight on the scales is lower than the Min. Fill Level sort parameter
value and the minimum discharge time has elapsed.
n The discharge procedure is then complete (output A-Dis. becomes 0). The time
will not be monitored if the minimum discharge time = 0.
n The weigh hopper input level is switched from 0 to 1. To guarantee that the
correct material quantity is measured, the DISOMAT waits until the weigh
hopper is closed. There is no time limit on how long it will wait.
n The scales identify idle state.
The error message ‘No Idle State’ is output if the idle time of the function block
is exceeded. Do not confuse the function bock idle time with the scales’
parameter idle time.
n Balancing of load-out operation is complete.
Any load-out operation, aborted or complete, is automatically balanced.
Number of Dumps memory increments by 1.
Output R-DumpEnd is set. This signal can be used, for instance, to activate
single dump printout.
n DISOMAT clears tare memory.
During discharge process, DISOMAT does not check surge hopper for being
closed.
n The loading operation can be aborted at any time. A switch in the level of the
Stop input from 0 to 1 subsequent to an interruption will stop the procedure, as
will a change from 0 to 1 at the Abort input.
Attention:
Abort of load-out process includes continuation of program until discharge of
weigh hopper.
Check Stop
Holds for all scales destined to be stamped.
Check Stop is required if the scale to be checked is used as check scale. In this
case, filling or load-out process can be stopped whenever required.
After Check Stop, current process is run to completion. After filling process,
GROSS weight of load in weigh hopper is displayed. After discharge, display
shows amount fed out.
Malfunction Behavior:
There will be no change in behavior if an event message in the category Warning
Feed Operation is output.
If an event message in the category Alarm or Malfunction occurs and when power
is returned after a power failure
1. Event message .
Load-out stopped.

Function: In principle, this function block has the same function as the Receiving
Scale function block.
Special Features:
Weight comparisons made at filling and discharging are faster (132
measurements per second instead of 10). The switch off is therefore
considerably faster.
Note: the function block outputs A-Surge Hopper/A-Dis. are permanently
connected to the contact outputs output 1 OUT1 and output 2 OUT2 for
software reasons.
Only the read-back information of the respective contact output (refer to
function block ‘Output 1’) can be utilized at the corresponding function
block outputs for further function block connections.
Parameters:
As per ‘normal’ filling/discharge weighing.

Stoplight
Symbol:
Parameters:
The inputs/outputs ‘ - RIGHT’ will be ignored or not switched when in ‘One-Way
Traffic’ operation mode. ‘Prefer ...’ or ‘Alternating’ determine which vehicle may
drive onto the weighbridge if traffic is two-way and if there are vehicles waiting for
clearance on both sides of the weighbridge once the vehicle currently being
weighed drives off.
The scales used and the empty threshold establish the scales used and a
threshold value below which the scales are considered to be unloaded.
The maximum approach time establishes the time period after which the
stoplight will again turn red if an erroneous approach request is made.
The down time establishes the length of time by which a new approach will be
delayed once a vehicle has left the scales. This is intended to prevent erroneous
approach requests on the scales’ exit side.
If the position check is ‘YES’, the ‘SENSOR’ inputs are read to correctly position
a vehicle on the scales using the blinking exit stoplight.
The sensor level establishes the level for the SENSOR ‘Covered’ state and
determines the approach request inputs.
Operational Sequence
The operational sequence assumes that the approach request inputs and the
SENSOR inputs are connected to induction loops. The approach request loops are
located in front of the approach stoplight, the SENSOR loops are located
between the stoplight and the scales. This arrangement is present in a
symmetrical formation to the left and right of the scales if the scales can be
approached from both sides.
1. The initial state of the stoplights is RED.
2.
One of the ‘Approach Request’ inputs will indicate whether a vehicle wishes to
drive onto the scales.
3. The scales are zeroed. If this is unsuccessful, the approach stoplight blinks
RED. The zeroing is repeated every 5 seconds until it is successful or until the
vehicle no longer covers the induction loop.
4. The approach stoplight will light a steady GREEN, the approach barrier will
open and the maximum approach time will begin counting down. If the scales
are loaded by the approaching vehicle, the approach stoplight will light a
steady RED and the approach barrier will receive the signal to close.
5. If the position control is active, the approach stoplight will blink GREEN as
long as the approach SENSOR is covered. The ample will light a steady RED
if the approach SENSOR is uncovered. The exit stoplight will blink RED if the
vehicle drives so far along the scales that it covers the exit SESENSOR. The
vehicle must then reverse a little.
6. The vehicle can now be weighed.
7. ‘Exit Clear’ means that the exit stoplight can be set to GREEN and the exit
barrier can be opened. Once the empty threshold has been under-run, the exit
stoplight will light a steady RED and the exit barrier will receive the signal to
close.
8 The down time begins counting down.
9. The block is again in its initial state (1).
Manual Operation
The manual operation input can switch off the stoplight block for troubleshooting
and for bypassing the stoplight control, e.g. using an external application
connected to the fieldbus. If this should be desired, all 8 outputs of the function
block can be controlled directly using a binary’ configured D/A convertor block.
Each non-zero value at the manual operation input deactivates the normal function
of the block. All 8 inputs are then controlled by the Manual Operation input.
