7.5.2.2 Determination of current belt speed (belt empty)
In menu item 1.1.2 set the "Speed detection" parameter to "Preset/Detect constant speed".
Subsequently move on to menu item 1.2.1.2 "Speed calibration - No sensor, Belt empty".
The belt must have a clearly visible marking, e.g. using chalk or adhesive tape.
Figure 7-7 Speed calculation with empty belt
Execute the "Start calibration" command when the belt marking passes a defined point. Stop
the calibration as soon as the belt has carried out the defined number of revolutions and the
marking has passed the defined point for the last time. The belt speed is subsequently
displayed in the "New value" column. You can import the belt speed using the "Apply new
speed" button.
Activate the specified speed using one of the three options by means of the external "Set
"Belt is running"" command:
● Via a correspondingly parameterized digital input
● Via an external controller
● From the operator panel (menu 1.4.5)
You can reset the speed to zero again using the "Reset "Belt is running"" command.
As an alternative to the belt marking and manual sending of commands, you can connect a
belt revolution sensor (e.g. a proximity switch) to digital input DI.1. When assigning the
parameters for the digital inputs, you must then assign the "Trigger belt revolution recording"
function to DI.1. Pulses are then counted at input DI.1 according to the parameterized
number of belt revolutions, and an exact trigger point is thus achieved.
Then move on to the "Zero calibration" using → Zero calibration (Page 53).
