1Overview
What Is The INTECONT:
INTECONT PLUS is designed as measuring and
evaluation system for
Belt Weighers
Solids Flow Meters
Mass Flow Meters
Mass Flow Feeders
Weighfeeders
Loss-in-weight Feeders
Three system versions are available:
1. Without option card (standard)
2. With option card VFE 610V for additional
input/outputs and printer
3. With option card for fieldbus
VSS021V : Modbus/S5
VPB 020V: Profibus
VCB020V: DeviceNet
VET020V: MODBUS/TCP
VET022V: ETHERNET/IP
This manual applies to belt weighers using the fully
equipped INTECONT variant.

Some Definitions:
I = Feed rate in kg/hr or t/hr
Material amount discharged from belt
per unit time
Z = Delivery rate in kg or t
Material amount fed out = feed rate x feed time
V = Belt speed in m/s
Q = Belt load in kg/m
Material weight on one belt meter
Measuring Principle:
Belt load Q and speed V are continuously measured
and multiplied.
The result is feed rate I used to determine delivery
rate.
I in kg/hr
Q in kg/m
V in m/s
Measurement techniques:
nPrecision AC voltage amplifier with continuous
correction of zero point and range
nHighly resolving analog-to-digital converter
The integrated method is designed to efficiently
suppress line voltage interferences.
n16-bit microcontroller
nUnlimited storage of counter readings,
configuration and calibration data.
The basic diagram shows all inputs and outputs.
L/C = Load cell for acquisition of belt load Q
D = Speed transducer
S = Belt circuit sensor for automatic belt

This report is identical with the batch report, however,
the numerical values are identified as sub-totals by
the # symbol.
If no batching mode is selected, batch number, batch
setpoint and batch actual value are not printed. This
type of report figures as “Quantity Report”.

Unlike the “Print Batch” function, printing is
possible during running batch.

Zero Setting
The zero setting program is designed to acquire the belt
weigher’s zero point error over one or multiple integer
belt circuits.
In normal mode, value is used to correct current
measuring result.
If no automatic mode is selected, use program in regular
intervals.
During zero setting, totalizing counters stop counting.
Prerequisite:1. Conveyor belt totally unloaded.
If necessary, abort program.
User “Start Prefeeder” function, if
available.
2. Belt running,
indicated automatically.
3. No batch active; batching mode can
remain active.
4. This function has to be activated with
the parameter A08.
Call:

Call Zero Setting function and start.
If belt is not running, program aborts
and requests START.
Program running:
Upper display: Residual run time in % of total run
time.
Lower display: Zero point error in %, related to
nominal belt load.
NAbort program at any time.
Program complete:
Upper display: Deviation of zero point from
previous zero setting operation in %
of nominal belt load.
Dev=+:error increased
Dev = - : error decreased.
Lower display: Deviation of zero point from basic
tare in % of nominal belt load.
Taring program corrects basic tare
during calibration.
Acquire result, or view for information and reject.
fAcquire result.
Scale zero point is corrected.
NAbort program.
Result is rejected.
Restart prefeeder.
Event messages:
1- C7 Zero setting time elapsed.
Deselect message, if not desired.
2- Value Excessive
Zeroing range exceeded; clean
scale and retare, if necessary.
3. Note:
The function setting to zero can also be
started via the digital input P05. The
program is started by a positive flank of the
contact. The result is automatically accepted
if it is within the admissible zero setting limit
(5% of the nominal belt load). An
ackowledgement of the result is not
necessary. The calibration program can only
be aborted in its active phase.
