CONFIGURABLE FUNCTIONS

4.2 

Measurement of the volume

The sensor determines the running total of the volume transported. 
The sensor calculates the volume from the measured contour and the conveyor¬ belt  

speed.
SOPAS indicates this value as a volume sum and the sensor outputs the sum in the 

measured value telegram. On the other hand, the volume is signaled as a switching 

point per volume quota reached on a digital output, e.g., one switching point per 100 

m³.

You can smooth the measured values with the aid of the averaging filter (see "4.11 

Averaging filter“ on page 24).

How to configure the calculation of the volume sum:

 

Switch to the 

Measurement

 tab.

 

Configure the 

Belt speed

 (see "4.1 Setting the belt speed“ on page 16).

 

Configure the 

Flow averaging filter

, if required.

How to configure the signaling of the volume quota on a digital output:

 

Switch to the 

Interfaces

 tab.

 

Click on 

Digital outputs

 to open the 

Digital outputs

 tab (see "4.13 Digital outputs“ 

on page 25).

 

Select the assignment 

Volume quota

 for the required output.

 

Select the required 

Logic

.

 

Configure the 

Volume quota

 (volume per pulse).

 

Configure the 

Pulse width

.

Ensure that the duration of the pause between pulses is longer than the cycle time 

resulting from the scan frequency (see "8.4 Monitoring of the contamination degree“ on 

page 60).

4.3 

Measurement of the mass

The sensor determines the running total of the mass transported. 
The sensor calculates the mass from the measured contour, the bulk density, and the 

belt speed.
SOPAS displays this value as a mass sum and the sensor outputs the sum in the mea-

sured value telegram. On the other hand, the mass is signaled as a switching point per 

mass quota reached on a digital output, e.g., one switching point per 10 t.

You can smooth the measured value with the aid of the averaging filter (see "4.13 Digi

-

tal outputs“ on page 25).

How to configure the calculation of the mass sum:

 

Switch to the 

Measurement

 tab.

 

Configure the 

Belt speed

 (see "4.1 Setting the belt speed“ on page 16).

 

Configure the mass flow rate as a calculated value.

 

Configure the 

Bulk density

 as 

Fixed value

 or 

Analog value

.

 

Configure the 

Flow averaging filter

, if required.

How to configure the signaling of the mass quota on a digital output:

 

b

Switch to the 

Interfaces

 tab.

 

b

Click on 

Digital outputs

 to open the Digital outputs tab (see "4.13 Digital outputs“ on 

page 25).

 

Select the assignment 

Mass quota

 for the required output.

 

Select the required 

Logic.
