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 thrid-party suppliers or parts that are not
part of Schenck's scope of delivery.
When performing installation, commissioning and service work, observe all applicable local regulations.

Intended Application
The measuring system and its connected mechanical components are exclusively designed for weighing
and controlling tasks. Any use other than originally intended is considered inappropriate.

Sources of Risk
If the measuring system has been correctly installed and commissioned, it does not pose any danger during
weigh operations.
Hazards may arise when the system is used for control operations or for transporting weighed goods. Po-
tential hazards may then arise from e.g. additional devices through which the weighed goods are passed or
metered. Minor risks may arise in these situations if the measuring system is used or operated by untrained
personnel.
The measuring system can be part of a more complex plant. The system operating company is fully respon-
sible for the operating safety of the system.

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 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. Furthermore they may also cause considerable disruption to
weigh operations.

Password
Passwords safeguard the parameters against unauthorized alteration. The measuring system operating
company must ensure that the password is handled safely.

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.

Safety notes

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.
▪ The devices may be operated only in the provided housings. There is danger of contacting live parts.

Moisture and Humidity

All scales parts, electrical components in particular, must be protected from moisture and humidity when the
housing is opened for e.g. maintenance and service. In other respects the protection classes of the housing
must be observed.

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
warranty will be void.

3.3 Method of Function

A belt weigher or weighfeeder continuously weighs the quantity of material transported by a conveyor belt.
The feed rate is regulated on a weighfeeder according to a setpoint. A belt weigher only measures and it
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 Total 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 flow rate is determined.

BV-H2464GB, 1234 INTECONT® Tersus Belt weigher, Instruction Manual

-8- Schenck Process Group
General Diagram

Fig. 2: The belt load of the weighbridge is not legal for trade

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 mea-
suring displacement is approximately 0.2 mm. The measuring rolls are linked with the frame construction via
parallel plate springs. 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-roll 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-roll 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.

Belt speed
The belt speed is recorded using velocity sensor D and 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

Displays
The display of INTECONT Tersus consists of 4 parts:

1. You can give the technical name at the installation location 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.
The lower half of the display is used for various visualizations: the large-scale display of an individual read-
ing, displaying 4 readings in line font size or displaying as many as 9 adjustable readings in the parameters
block Configuration HMI Values. They adapt their font size over 3 levels.

Event messages
▪ Events and malfunctions are shown by an alphanumerical shorthand symbol and title.
▪ The appropriate "uncoded text" for all subsequent events can be called up via the operating keyboard.
▪ This distinguishes alarms (red) and warnings that either have to be acknowledged (orange) or do not
have to be acknowledged (yellow). Alarms will shut down the scales, warnings will not. All alarms are al-
so indicated with a relay output.

General Diagram

▪ This can be selected with the P02.06 Feeder Start and FALSE Feedrate Setpoint parameters (howev-
er, only with charging systems).

Monitoring for minimum and maximum limit values

▪ For feed rate, belt load and belt speed The limit values, relay outputs and event classes can be sepa-
rately defined for all 6 possibilities.

Mains power failure

▪ Scale data, calibration data, counter readings and quantity pulses not yet issued are kept for an unli-
mited time after a mains power failure and the time is kept for approx. 5 days.

Belt speed
▪ The belt speed is recorded with a speed pick-up.

Zero settings
▪ The zero point fault of the belt weigher comes from soiling that adheres permanently or from other con-
stant factors. The zero setting records the zero point fault on an empty belt over one or several whole-
number belt circuits. This corrects the regular measurement in normal operation.
▪ Zero setting takes place with an empty belt conveyor with a program which runs automatically.
▪ Zero setting should be started manually at regular intervals if automatic operation is not preselected.
▪ The maximum permitted zero setting correction is monitored.

Zero drop out

▪ Suppressing totalizing for measurements around zero so that the counter remains constant during no-
load belt operation. The function can be turned off.

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 total remains unchanged over one belt circuit with the empty belt.
Call-up is password protected.

Measuring at dispatch: VAP

▪ The weighing platform is not located directly at the material discharge point for design reasons. This
means that if the belt load changes, the measurement for the feed rate will not precisely equal the cur-
rent feed rate at the dispatch point. Measurement is shifted to the material discharge point using a spe-
cial velocity-dependent delay element. No special measuring sensors are required to do this.

Batching mode
▪ Batch mode conveys a preset amount of material. The conveying process ends once the batch setpoint
has been reached. The batching process can be controlled via the belt conveyor drive or bin feeder.
▪ The turn-off point and dribble feed utilization can be adapted automatically.

BIC belt influence compensation and belt drift

▪ This function makes it possible for the belt to record and compensate for dynamic zero point influence
with an additional belt circuit sensor and a metallic marking flag in the belt. This increases the scale's
short-term accuracy.

▪ for the voltage supply's operating time, the scale's operating time and the next zero setting.

Calibration
▪ It is not necessary to calibrate the pick-up input. Certain design data such as on the load cells, velocity
sensors and conveyor belt inclination must be entered. The system uses this data to calculate all stan-
dardizations 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 calibration weight: 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 also becomes suitable for verifying mechanical changes such as the
weighing platform being twisted due to movement of the foundations.

▪ 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.

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

8.3 Tare TW
The taring program uses one or several whole-number belt circuits to record the zero point error of the belt-
weigher or weighfeeder. This value is used to correct the ongoing measuring results in normal operation.
We should distinguish taring from 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, 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. Under no circumstances may there be any material on the belt. The prefeeder can be controlled with
'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

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 Set/Act in parameter D 02. 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 Set/Act > 1.05
Departures of several percent indicate incorrectly entered technical data (such as
levers or not knowing precise belt inclinations) or mechanical errors (such as
alignment or 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

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 expe-
dient 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 Platform
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:

Multiple-Idler Platform
Several weighing idlers are combined into one mechanical unit, the measuring bridge.

Lg = Distance to the center of the material cone

12.1.2 Calibration Weight

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, and
not the actual weight, must be entered into parameters P03.08 and . The effective calibration weight QPRF
is the weighing platform load in kg simulated by the calibration weight.

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 Weights:

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 orientation of the load cell at in-
stallation is decisive.

At right angles to the belt conveyor

The angle α must be entered as the parameters. The load acting on the load cell is N = Q * cos α.

12.2 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 parameters
values 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 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 any more than 10 Hz if an external volumeter 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. 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
value 'h'.
-1
The Angle P03.07 angle is then a = tan (h/l)
For angle < 20°, a = 55 h/l applies

Parameter block Calibrat. Results :

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

Qo Nominal Belt Load P04.01 kg/m
L Effective Platform Length P03.05 m
H Lever Ratio P03.06
a Angle P03.07 Degrees
F Force on the load cell kg

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 Nominal Flow Rate.

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 clearance or the ON
button was not pressed.
3. Take any event messages which appear into account and remove the error.
4. Check the following:
Tachometer: The output frequency of the tachometer generator has to be less than 3,000 Hz with acti-
vated measurement. The value must approximately correspond to the information in the data sheet.
Load cell: The non-standardized initial value for the load cell amplifier may not be larger than
2.85 mV/V even at nominal load of the weighing platform. It must change if the weighing platform is
placed under load (e.g. the 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.

12.4 Test With Calibration Weight

The test with a calibration weight makes sense because

1. mechanical or electrical faults are possible
2. calibration data can be unreliable (for instance, the leverage is not precisely known) and it is difficult to
measure the belt inclination
3. data may be incorrectly entered

The calibration weight should be between 30 % ... 100 % of the platform nominal load and be accurate.
1. Enter Calibration Weight P03.08.
On beltweighers with parallel leaf-spring guides, the effective calibration weight is the same as the ac-
tual value. In other cases, the effective calibration weight can be taken from the data sheet, or can be
calculated according to the chapter details/data flow images. The inclination of the conveyor belt has no
effect on the effective calibration weight.
2. Call up the CW: Span Calibration program.

Startup operation

Some Possible Causes of Fault:

Warping of the weighing platform, improper alignment, interferences in the load cell cable.
If you suspect any of these faults, repeat the check with a different weight.
Non-linearity is an indication of such faults, linear faults are more likely to be cause by incorrect data.

12.5 Belt Velocity Check

The velocity sensor frequency generator can be actuated in a number of different ways.
1. with a frictional wheel on the lower carrying run of the belt or
2. with 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 accu-
racy should be checked.
1. Establish the velocity of the conveyor belt using a stopwatch and a tape measure. Make several mea-
surements 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

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 Material

Material
Each test or calibration with calibration weights can only approximate the actual operating conditions. A
highly accurate continuous measurement can be achieved only by making several measurements with bulk
material and a subsequent correction. It is corrected with Range Correction P04.02. The following image
shows an example of an arrangement for verifying a belt-based continuous throughput.

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 must be clean
2. Any available diverters must not divert material
3. If there are any feed screws or air slides between the weighing platform and the continuous measuring
point, material must be conveyed for approx. 1/2 hour before any verification measurements are made.
This will allow the usual material build-ups to form on the conveying elements.
4. Dedusting must be set to a minimum

Startup operation

5. The containers 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 sufficiently
accurate to measure the quantity MW.

The new value P04.02new is calculated from the old value P04.02old using the counter progression MA from
the continuous measurement and the mass MW calculated from the control scales as follows:
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 counter progression MA
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.

Parameters

13 Parameters
The INTECONT Tersus is adapted to each application by means of parameters. No special programing
knowledge is therefore necessary.

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'.
Notes:
▪ Gaps can appear between block numbers and parameters within the blocks. In rare cases, the number
of a parameter may change.

Parameters

▪ 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.

13.2 Configuring Event Messages

The system monitors a range of both of its own operation and the peripherals. The reaction to a recognized
deviation, that is to say an event, is set by parameters. The parameters are used to assign to each event a
class that will determine this reaction.

Note: An external binary output channel that may have been assigned to an event is set, independent of the
event class.
A newly pending alarm or warning 1-class event will be shown on the operating panel blinking and in color.
The blinking stops when acknowledged. Acknowledged event messages are cleared from the display for
currently pending events when the event is no longer pending. Each event is stored with a time-stamp in the
internal memory for later analysis.
