Example of bulk solids detection on a conveyor belt

The bulk solids for which movement is to be detected are transported via a conveyor belt. Due 

to process fluctuations, the belt is loaded unevenly.

20  Bulk solids detection on a conveyor belt

Default setting of the Solimotion FTR20 (→ 

47)

 Gain (function B)
 Detection range (function C)

Signal strength display in this particular example with the default settings:

 maximum loading (current output: 15.2 mA)

 minimum loading (current output: 8.8 mA)

 no loading (current output: 5.6 mA)

A calibration of the switch output and the current output is explained on the following pages, 

based on the bulk solids detection on a conveyor belt presented above. These settings are only 

examples of a configuration using functions B and C.
