Overview
3 Overview
The Overview chapter explains the principle functions of the DISOCONT system used
in conjunction with a feeder or meter.
3.1 What is DISOCONT?

The DISOCONT is a versatile family of modular weighing electronics for use with
weighing and feeding systems.
Its components are system unit VSE, local control unit VLB and input/output unit VEA.
The DISOCONT is designed for continuous measuring and control tasks as well as
discontinuous batching.
The system also performs all weighing and processing functions required for the
measuring and feeding of bulk solids.
The DISOCONT is suited for flexible adaptation to space requirements and

interconnection.
Used in conjunction with the specific application software for weighing and feeding
tasks, the DISOCONT can be used in the following industries:
• Steel
• Basic Materials
• Cement
• Food
• Chemical
In connection with the corresponding mechanical equipment, the following systems
are supported:
• Belt weighers
• Weighfeeders
• Solids flow meters (chutes)
• Solids flow feeders
• Loss-in-weight, gain-in-weight feeders
• Mass flow meters (Coriolis meters)
• Mass flow feeders (Coriolis feeders)
• Filling systems

3.3 Measuring Principle

(a) Construction
Construction and Overview
Code Meaning
PREF. Control output for prefeeder
Y Analog output for control magnitude
Set Setpoint
L/C Load cell
G Tacho-generator
DRIVE Control output for measuring drive
The Mass Flow Unit consists of a measuring wheel rotating at constant speed and
being divided in chambers through specially designed guide vanes.
Centrically guided to the measuring wheel distributor cone from above, the material is
flung outward by rotation and slips down to the bottom outlet hole along the outer
housing wall.
The rotably mounted motor transmits its torque to load cells L/C with the use of a
lever. The load cell output voltage is proportional to torque and converted into digital
information by an analog-to-digital converter.
Measuring wheel speed is acquired through speed transducer G and transmitted to
the microprocessor system with the aid of a frequency-to-digital converter. Frequency-
to-digital and analog-to-digital converters are integral parts of the weighing electronics.
Weighing electronics uses torque and speed to compute the material flow per unit
time, i.e. the current flow rate.
The system is suited for installation in enclosed handling routes.

© Schenck Process
Overview
(b) Measuring Principle

Centrifugal force Z moves the material outward along guide vanes on which its excerts
a force C, the so-called Coriolis force. This force causes the motor to output a higher
torque.
Fig.: Measuring Principle

In the ideal case, every material hits the measuring wheel with angular momentum 0
and leaves it with angular moment L of
m = Particle mass
ω = Wheel angle speed
R = Measuring wheel radius
Hitting radius R0 and friction between material and guide vanes are irrelevant.
The angular momentum variation equals the torque time integral.
Hence follows
with dm/dt corresponding to flow rate I in kg/s.

Overview
3.4 Operating Modes

The DISOCONT can operate in three modes:
• Gravimetric Mode (Controlled)

Actual feed rate is controlled for preset feed rate. Maximum possible
setpoint corresponds to nominal feed rate. If input value is too big,
system reports error.
• Volumetric Mode (Uncontrolled)
• Material prefeeder is set proportional to set feed rate. Changes in hopper

weight do not influence feed unit control. At rated conditions, feed rate
approximately corresponds to defined setpoint.Setpoint is limited to three
times the nominal feed rate. If value is exceeded, system reports error.
• Volumetric Synchronous
In contrast to volumetric mode, changeover from gravimetric to volumetric
mode takes place smoothly thanks to the consideration of the actual controller
output value.
3.5 Control
DISOCONT controls the material discharge.
Principle
Actual flow rate is compared with setpoint and the difference is
transferred to a controller which continues varying prefeeder flow rate
until actual value is equal to setpoint.
Material Prefeeders
Speed controlled prefeeders (e.g. feed screws, rotary feeders) require
an external power stage with external armature voltage or speed
control. Position controlled prefeeders (e.g. flow gates) require an
external switching amplifier or pulse controller for Open/Shut
directions to be available.

© Schenck Process
Overview
3.6 Batching
In batch mode, a preselected amount of material is discharged. If batch setpoint is
reached, batching process is complete.
Batching can be performed in any mode and with any variant.
The figure below shows the batching sequence of a controlled system:
Fig.: Batching
The represented sections mean:
0 : Start batch
1 : Stop batch
2 : Continue stopped batch
3 : Continuously decrease set feed rate
4 : Stop batch automatically if preset amount has been batched.

4 Control
This chapter details the DISOCONT control.
There are three different modes:
• Control via the VLB local control box
• Control via "Easyserve" software on PC
• Local control (emergency mode) via the VLG local control

box.
4.1 Control Unit

After start of the DISOCONT control unit, display is automatically tested.
If test is complete, the device version number is displayed for some seconds, to be
then replaced by the normal display.
NOTE: The following values and settings remain stored after power failure:
• Counter readings
• Parameter settings
• Setpoints
• Service values
• Counter pulses not yet output
• Date and time for approx. 5 days provided that a DISOCONT

input/output unit is connected.
The figure below shows the DISOCONT control unit front panel and its display fields.
This manual uses the abbreviations "<Key Name...> key", e.g. <Return> key. Cursor
keys are called "cursor <UP> or <DOWN>".
The DISOCONT is operated with the use of function keys (yellow), keypad (white) and
Return key (red).
Function keys are assigned in accordance with the specific control situation. The
particular function is displayed over or right next to the key.

4.4.7 Volumetric / Volumetric Synchronous / Gravimetric

Modes
This function lets you select "Volumetric", "Volumetric Synchronous" and "Gravimetric"
modes.
Volumetric Mode:
Material discharge is controlled in proportion to setpoint independent of measured
load.
At rated conditions, feed rate is around selected setpoint.
Setpoint is limited to the triple nominal feed rate. Upon higher inputs, message SC1
"Setpoint Limited" is output. Feed rate actual value is measured but does not impact
control.
Volumetric Synchronous Mode:
In contrast to volumetric mode, changeover takes place smoothly thanks to the
consideration of the mean value acquired in gravimetric mode.
Gravimetric Mode:
Feed rate actual value is controlled for selected setpoint.
Maximum possible setpoint equals nominal feed rate. Excessive values cause output
of message SC1 "Setpoint Limited".
Prerequisite:
• Controlling system active (P02.03 "Control" = "YES").

To set Volumetric / Volumetric Synchronous / Gravimetric modes:
2. Select"Volumetric / Volumetric Synchronous / Gravimetric" function using

cursor keys.
3. Activate displayed mode using <Return> key.

however, not used.
4.8 Bin Weigher

Operating totally independent of the continuous scale, the bin weigher is designed for
display of bin weight, monitoring and reporting of limits values, control of fill level as
well as for use as check scale in conjunction with a check-and-correct system.
4.8.1 "Bin Controller Manual/Automatic" Calibrating Function

Bin level can be controlled either manually or automatically. Upon automatic control,
the prefeeder is turned on/off as a function of limits values P23.12 and P23.13
"Control Level MIN" and "Control Level MAX" (Parameter P23.14 "DO Bin Filling").
Upon manual control, you can start/stop prefeeder direct using the "Bin Contr. Man.
Start" or Bin Contr. Man.Stop" calibrating functions.
To avoid hopper overflow, prefeeder cuts off in both modes as soon as limit value
P23.13 "Control Level MAX" is exceeded.

4.9 On-stream Calibration System

© Schenck Process
Control
The On-stream Calibration System (KME) basically consists of a bin weigher used to
check the mass flow feeder's actual feed rate and correct errors.
During check and correction, the material flow is not interrupted.
The check result comprises the measuring results of the two scales for the material
amount actually fed out. Being by far more accurate than dynamic weighing, the static
weighing result is acquired as correct.
The correction value is computed from the difference, or the ratio, of the two amounts.
Correction of the zero point error compensates additive errors, e.g. caused by material
deposits on weighing platform.
Ranges correction compensates multiplicative errors.
Range correction is principally required after commissioning; zero point correction,
also in running operation.
For setting details, see Block 25 and Appendix.

5.1 Checking Measuring System
Most functional errors are reported by event message. If a measured value displayed
is obviously wrong, you can check measuring amplifier function with the aid of a
simple test plug (s. Test Plug figure). Using the test plug you can easily find out
whether the fault is with load cell, cabling, or electronics.
Fig.: Test Plug
Connecting test plug:

1. Wire plug as shown in drawing.
2. Turn off power.
3. Withdraw load cell connector X6.
4. Plug test plug into load cell connector X6 slot.
5. Turn on power.
If the stated resistors are used, the following service values result:
• Raw measurement value approx. 1.500000 mV/V.
• L/C utilization approx. 75% for 2mV/V load cell characteristic value.
• L/C utilization approx. 53% for 2.85mV/V load cell characteristic value.
If raw measurement value is in specified range, measuring amplifier operates free
from fault.
Measured load display depends on scale rated data.
Note: With other resistors R1 and R2, the following raw measured value results:
Raw measured value ~ 500 * R2 / R1 [mV/V]
If parameter default values are used, approx. 75 kg are displayed as measured load.

Parameters
6 Parameters
This chapter discusses the parameters available with DISOCONT and presents a list
of event messages relating to the individual parameters.
6.1 General Information

Parameters are variable features or data used to adapt DISOCONT to the application.
There are two principal types of parameter:
• Selection parameters - for selection from multiple alternatives
o Select characteristic values (e.g. display unit, control behaviour)
o Select event classes (determine reaction on events)
o Select hardware configuration (source, unit, channel, level)
• Numeric parameters - for direct input of numeric values

Parameters can be changed during operation. However, parameters influencing
measuring result, e.g. display filters, must not be changed.
Default Values
All parameters are preset with default values which normally need not be changed.
You can recall default values using the "Load Default Parameters" function.
NOTE: For loading default values, see "Loading Default Parameters" item.
Identification
Parameters are organized by function group and identified as follows:
"Group number - parameter number", e.g. P01.02.
The system ID is a unique identification code used throughout the DISOCONT

system. It is used, for instance, in data transfer or for special service tasks.
Dependencies
There are parameters whose availability depends on other parameters setting values.
These dependencies are stated in the header of every single parameter description.

As you can see, with fieldbus (FB), control unit (OP), speed (v), are not assigned (--)
and the low-resolution analog input (DI4) does not require additional specification for
unit, channel or level.
Analog inputs (AI), outputs (AO) and load cell (LC) require the unit to be specified.
Digital inputs (DI), outputs (DO) and logical signals (LS) require unit, channel and level
to be specified.
The external input/output unit readies 4 analog input and outputs, and 16 digital inputs
and outputs.
Extension card VEA 20101 offers the following additional inputs and outputs on VSE
1:
Analog output A02
Analog input AI1
Digital inputs DI5, DI6 and DI7
Digital outputs DO5, DO6 and DO7.

Parameters
Example:
Parameter P 03.02 determines the scale start source.
Description Source
P 03.02 Start FB
Alternatives OP, DI
On standard, the scale is connected via fieldbus (FB). Alternatively, you can select
control unit (OP) or a digital input (DI). If DI is desired, additionally specify active unit
with channel and level (see Possible Hardware Configurations table).
Event messages
The reaction on events can be parametrized using the event classes. As a rule, all
classes (Alarm (A), Warning 1 (W1), Warning 2 (W2) and No Message (IG) can be
set. Therefore, the parameter default value suffices.
Example:
P 06.08 Power Down A Event WE 01
After power failure, event WE 01 is set as Alarm.

more than preset time.
There are various possible causes:
1. Material handling error

Material flows irregularly or cannot be discharged with sufficient qualitiy.
Controller is out of limit for a certain time.
2. Electronics error
Check external feed rate controller and motor cablings. Check feed controller
for proper setting (current limitation, speed range).
3. Calibration error
During initial calibration, controller was set so critically that smallest changes
of system properties cause unreliable operation.
Action: Repeat this commissioning step.

This chapter details special functions.
8.1 Details: Source Selection

Source selection is used to assign a logical signal (source) to a hardware
channel (unit, channel).
Moreover, it can be used to determine the digital signal level which causes
signal to become active (level = low or high).
Hardware configuration is thus highly flexible. Assignment of analog and
digital inputs/outputs to logical signals can be optimized for the DISOCONT
assemblies spatial arrangement.
Every signal that can be configured is identified by the following information:
o Source = Logical signal name
o Unit = Hardware assembly for which signal has been configured

Counter number 1-n stands for the address set in the following table:
VSE = System unit
VEA = Input/output unit
VLB = Local control box
Hardware address setting for Local Bus

Address switch for Device-Net setting:
VSE1 = 1
VSE2 = 2
VSE3 = 3
VEA1 = 11
VEA2 = 12
VEA3 = 13
VLB1 = 21
EIO = 31
o Channel = Name of output, or input, on assembly
DI = Digital input
DO = Digital output
AO = Analog output
AI = Analog input
o Level = Effective level
Low = input 0V, or output contact open

With Namur inputs, "Low" corresponds to > 1.6 mA current, or
sensor not covered
High = Input energized, or output contact closed

With Namur inputs, "High" corresponds to < 1.6 mA current,
or sensor covered

In many cases, P05.01 is set to 0.
Measuring wheel continuous operation: P02.04 = NO
Point In Time
1. As long as STOP signal is available (contact open), no START
command takes effect.
2. No cut-off command available; feeder is released.
3. Measuring wheel starts with L-H edge of START input or START
command from other source.
4. After start of measuring wheel and 10s delay, prefeeder, controller
and totalization are released.
5. NOTE: During Start-Up P05.01, control is in Volumetric Mode.
6. Automatic changeover to Gravimetric Mode.
7. Cut-off command
Prefeeder immediately cuts off, measuring wheel keeps operating.
P16.01 = NO : If measuring delay P05.02 has elapsed, measuring

wheel automatically cuts off.

© Schenck Process
Annex
8. P16.01 = YES : After measuring delay P05.02, feeder is automatically

set to zero.
9. For measuring delay time P05.02, acquisition of feed rates and
totalized amounts is still active.
10. Start zero setting using the calibration time specified by P09.06.
Zero setting is complete.
11. Measuring drive cuts off.
Measuring wheel continuous operation P02.04 = YES

The sequence is the same as with controlled drive. Measuring drive
continuously operates. Cut-off commands from keyboard or release
exclusively act on measurement and prefeeder. After power failure or Alarm,
START command is required.
Measuring wheel is considered started if output “START Measuring Wheel” is
active.
Measuring wheel can be cut off externally or by using function “STOP
Measuring Wheel”.
Alarm:
Alarm immediately cuts off measuring wheel and prefeeder.
When the time set by P05.02 has elapsed, measurement is complete. No
automatic zero setting takes place.
Measurement and Displays:
Measuring load and speed are acquire and displayed every time; feed rate,
only with measuring wheel running. Feed rate is acquired in START state only
(Key ON) and during measuring delay P05.02 . The ON message reports all
phases during which feed rate acquisition is active.

Using lever H, the measuring wheel exerts a force on load cell L/C. Output
voltage Ua is amplified, and converted into the raw measured value through
the analog-to-digital converter A/D.
The feed rate is inversely proportional to speed N. If feed rates fall below 0.01
N-NENN, feed rate acquisition cuts off.
8.4 Details: Control Loop

8.4.1 Static Controller
The figure below shows the control loop of a mass flow meter operated with
DISOCONT.
Fig.: Static Controller Data Flow Diagram

Overview
The central control unit consists of a feed rate PI controller of type
The standard PI controller is equipped with setpoint bypass which permits

setpoint steps to be executed quickly even if controller setting is slow. In
addition, bypass enables the system to operate in controlled (volumetric)
mode.
To prevent overshoot from occurring, setpoint is decoupled from real
controller by using a simulated control loop. The controller itself is also
equipped with a control magnitude limitation selected as a function of setpoint.
If the upper or lower control magnitude limit is reached, controller stops
operating.

P10.11 Setpoint Filters in s
The filters delay controller setpoint whereas the bypass
reaches control magnitude output without delay.Use
Parameters P10.10 to set the control loop time behaviour to
an approximate value in order to avoid actual value overshoot
in case of setpoint steps.
P10.10 : 2nd-order
P10.11 : 1st-order
P10.15 Compensat. Elem. in 1/s
Designed as additional continuous integral element in the
deviation branch, the compensation element favourably
influences the following effects:
31. Errors caused by monotonously rising disturbances
(e.g. check measurement systems)
32. Steady-state deviations with asymmetrical control elements

The compensation is active only if gravimetric mode is
selected and Parameter P10.15 not set to zero. Input and
output are limited to ± 5%.
P10.16 KP Control
This parameter lets you evaluate the controller's proportional
component as a function of feed rate setpoint.
KP Control = 1 : KP is independent of setpoint
KP Control = 0 : KP decreases in proportion of setpoint
KP Control = 2 : KP increases in proportion of setpoint

© Schenck Process
Annex
Synchronization:
Upon changes to setpoint bypass and adaption points, no
synchronization takes place. To avoid higher feed steps,
change bypass in small steps, or with feeder cut off.
Switching and Operating Intervals:
Power ON:
Controller and setpoint filter are reset.
Power OFF:
Setpoint filter is reset; the controller integral component,
stored.
Start-Up
After start-up of measuring wheel, prefeeder is switched on.
Control magnitude changes from 0, or P10.04 (see P10.07), to
value of setpoint bypass. Additively, elevation and stored I
component of controller superpose one another (see P10.09).
At the same time, setpoint filter starts running from 0.
After start-up, controller is released and Gravimetric Mode
starts.
If previous controller values are to be used, set Parameter P
10.09 "Store" to "YES".
Stand-By
If setpoint falls below the limit specified by Parameter P 06.03
"Standby Limit" for more than three seconds, output sets drive
to OFF. Controller magnitude is set to the lower value as
specified by Parameter P 10.07 "Position at STOP".
Controller does not operate, the feed rate controller integral
component is reset or remains stored, as may be set by
Parameter P 10.09 "Store".
Measurement remains active.
If setpoint exceeds the limit specified by Parameter P 06.03
"Stand-By Limit" system goes to normal mode.
Gravimetric Mode (Closed Loop Control):
Feed rate actual value is controlled for effective setpoint via
prefeeder.
Volumetric Mode (Open Loop Control):
Only setpoint bypass and elevation act as control magnitude.
Prefeeder is controlled proportional to setpoint. Controller
integral component is reset independent of Parameter P10.09
(Store), setpoint filter remains active.

© Schenck Process
Annex
Volumetric Synchronous Mode (Control)

In contrast to volumetric mode, changeover from gravimetric to
volumetric synchronous mode takes place smoothly thanks to the
consideration of the actual controller output value.
Simulation:
In Simulation mode, the control circuit is closed internally.
Measurement values Q and n are simulated as well
(Q=Qnenn, n = nominal speed. Simulated value is displayed
as feed rate. Control magnitude Y is 10mA if nominal setpoint
is preset.Modes, START / STOP and setpoint sources act as
usual.
Task : Test system, particularly control sequences.Try out
operating sequences.

8.5 Details: Batching

The figure below applies to controlling feeders.
Fig.: Details: Batching
NOTE: The most important batching settings are effected in Parameter Block
14 "Batch Mode".
Batching Sequence
(s. Fig.: Details: Batching)
Step 0 : Start batch by starting feeder.
Step 1 : Stop batch by stopping feeder. Totalizing counter continues

counting for the time specified by Parameter P 05.02 "Measuring
Delay".
Step 2 : Resume batching by restart of feeder. Also possible during

measuring delay.
Step 3 : Feed rate setpoint moves towards zero and "Full Feed" or
Dribble Feed" signals exchange edges. This step is determined by
Parameter P 14.03 "Adaption Time" indicating the period of time
during which values is reset to zero.
Step 4 : Cut-off point. Batch setpoint minus the correction value

© Schenck Process
Annex
acquired by Parameter P 14.04 "Correction Amount" is reached and

batch is complete. Prefeeder cuts off.
Step 5 : Material afterflow. Material continues being acquired during

the time set by Parameter P 05.02 "Measuring Delay". No new batch
can start before the delay time has elapsed.
Adaption
After every complete batch, system computes a correction amount based on
missing amount and stores value in Parameter "Correction Amount". Steps 3
and 4 automatically shift during next batching operation (s. Fig. Details:
Batching).
K(new) = K(old) + Adap * Error
K(new) = New correction amount
Adap. = Adaption factor
Alarm
Aborts batch. After remedy of cause and acknowledgement of message,
batching can be resumed.
Power OFF
Batch aborts, batching mode remains selected. All counter readings and batch
values are stored. Next start command starts new batch
Stand-By Mode
During deceleration time, feeder can go to stand-by mode. Relevant message
is suppressed.
Limit Values
Event messages Pmin and nmin are suppressed during deceleration time.
This does not apply to digital outputs.

Fig. Sample Interlock Circuitry with AND-Gate 1
The above sample shows how the AND gates are used. The external fault
(P12.03) should become active only in turned-on state of scale (P13.03).
P 22.20 : Input LS-1 AND gate 1 : LS, VSE1, DO3, HIGH (DO Feeder Started,
P13.03)
P 22.21 : Input LS-2 AND gate 1 : LS, VSE1, DI1, LOW (DI Ext.Event 1,
P12.03)
In turned-on state of scale, error message IL07 (P22.22) is output after
approx. 0.33 s as soon as the External Event contact opens. At the same
time, digital output P 22.26 "DO ÷ AND Gate 1" is set.
Note:
The inputs of the AND gates can be assigned with all physically available
system inputs and outputs.

Note:
The time gate output cycle always consists of delay time plus pulse time.
Input is not reevaluated before this cycle has elapsed.
Use:
(i) Short signals --> extend for fixed time
(ii) Long signals --> generate cycle (pulse/pause)
iii) Doubling a digital output
The delay time has to be set to 0 sec. and the pulse time has to be set to 0.3
sec.
Example:
Simple fill control using single contact (e.g. MAX).
If MAX contact is open, filling interrupts for a defined time. When this time has
elapsed, MAX contact is reevaluated, and cycle restarts.
Parameter "Active in OFF" lets you determine whether fill control operates in
ON state only or also in OFF state.

8.12 Details: Pulverized Coal Feeder

When a Mass Flow Feeder is used for the feeding of pulverized coal, protect
parameters and calibrating functions from being accessed by the VLB control
unit by a variable password (P06.17).
Note!
For pulverized coal feeding systems, use module VSM 20107. Parameter P
27.01 "Pulv. Coal Feeder" is automatically set to YES and some setting
programs available in normal mode cannot be used.
o In STOP state of feeder, setpoint is always set to zero (P27.12 =
YES).
o Parameters "Setpoint Step +" (P27.09) and "Setpoint Step - "

(P27.10) are limited to max. 30%.
o Parameter "Reset Setpoint" (P27.11) used to increase the setpoint in

STOP state of feeder is limited to max. 2.
o Important:
If setpoints are set via field bus, the process control system should
ensure that only admissible setpoints are sent.
o The following event messages exclusively permit event class ALARM.

The safety circuit is always activated (P27.13 = Y)
In addition, the following controller parameters are limited:
P06.09 Time Deviation < 30 sec
P06.10 Threshold Deviation < 5%
P07.07 Deviation < 3 sec
P05.01 Volum. Start-up < 2 sec
P10.05 Upper Limit < 4mA

8.13 Pressure Compensation

Non compensated pressure variations in hopper produce false forces and
thus faulty weight values. Compensation takes place electrically: a sensor
measures the pressure and transfers the signal to DISOCONT. The latter
normalizes the signal and subtracts it from the actual but false weight signal.
Connectors and data of compensation input are identical with those of a
normal load cell input.

Calibrating Instructions
Suggestions:
Measure pressure, e.g. using a sensor with 2.0 mV/V sensitivity.
1. Set P 30.09 (Zero Point) and P 30.10 (Normalization) to 0.
2. Release all pressure and read off displays.
(a) Normal display B: Fill weight (1) in kg
(b) Service display Compensation weight (1) in bar
3. Enter compensation weight (1) into P 30.09 (Zero Point).
4. Apply medium pressure to system and read off displays.
(a) Normal display B: Fill weight (2) in kg
(b) Service display Compensation weight (2) in bar
5. Calculate normalization and enter value into P 30.10 (Normalization).
Normalization = (fill weight (2) – fill weight (1)) / compensation weight (2) in
kg/bar
6. Check to see that fill weight (1) reappears independent of pressure.

8.14 Fail-Safe Circuit

For mechanical system monitoring, a fail-safe circuit is available designed to correlate
current control magnitude and selected setpoint. If the control magnitude value is out
of specified tolerance, event is reported by message and digital output.
The safety circuit must be activated if the MULTICOR is used in an explosion hazard
area or if it is used to meter pulverized coal!
Fig: Fail-safe circuit 1
Service value "FC Act. Deviation" shows the current control magnitude deviation in
percent of defined tolerance.
If values exceed 100%, MAX is reported; if values fall below -100%, system reports
MIN.
If used as a pulverized coal scales the event class of the "FC: MIN Limit" LO13
(Parameter P27.17) signal is set permanently to ALARM. If the control variable is
limited to the value of
the "Lower Limit" for longer than 10 seconds, the "FC: MIN Limit" signal will also be
set.

8.15 Pulse output

From the physical point of view there are three different ways of outputting
pulses:
o via the "mere" pulse output (open collector) to VEA1 only (-X6: 4, 5);
frequency <10Hz for electronic totalizing counters,
o via a relay output to VSEs or VEA, the minimum pulse length being
1sec, or
o via the "hermaphrodite output" D07 available on VSE1 if a VEA 20101

is used. DO7 is an open collector output which can be used both as a
quick pulse output and as a "binary output". The maximum output
frequency when used as a quick pulse output is 10Hz.
The relevant parameters are:
o P 02.08 Counter 1 unit (--.-- kg etc.)
o P 02.09 Pulse duration counter (0.000...10.000s)
o P02.17 Pulse output ("--" for pulse output on VEA1 or any digital
output "DO")
o P 02.18 Pulse weighting (0,00...100.000,00kg)
Pulse duration P02.09

Annex
Interrelationship between activation, pulse length, output and weighting:

If P02.09 pulse duration counter = 0,000s (or <10ms), no pulses are
output on any output. The pulse output is deactivated.
If P02.17 pulse output = --- (no assignment), the pulses are output on
pulse output VEA1 (-X6:4, 5).
If P02.17 pulse output DO x (VSE1, DO1 bis 6), the pulses are output on
a relay output, the minimum pulse length being at least 1 sec.
If P02.17 pulse output = DO7, VSE 01, pulse lenghts of <1 sec are also
possible.
If P02.18 weighting = 0,00 kg, the rightmost digit of the P02.08 counter 1
unit (---,-- kg etc.) is always active.
If P02.18 pulse weighting > 0,00kg, P02.18 is always active!

The setting P02.18 weighting > 0,00kg should be preferred as the counter
pulse units of a connected counter are thus independent of the displayed
counter 1 units.
