CONFIGURABLE FUNCTIONS
4.14
Analog module BAM100
The Bulkscan® LMS511 and Bulkscan® LMS111 can read in and output analog cur-
rent values in the range 4 to 20 mA via the analog module BAM100.
Analog input signals are converted to digital format and transmitted to the Bulkscan®.
The analog module BAM100 can also convert measured values from the Bulkscan®
into analog output signals and output them.
Three analog inputs are available, which can read in the following input variables:
•
Analog input 1: Belt speed
•
Analog input 2: Bulk density
•
Analog input 3: Mass flow rate
The analog module has four analog outputs, which can be assigned the following out-
put variables:
•
Volume flow rate
•
Mass flow rate
•
Center of gravity
•
Bulk height
•
Bulk density
•
Belt speed
The analog module must be ordered in addition to the basic device.
How to configure the analog inputs:
Switch to the
Measurement
tab.
Configure the reqired input source as
Analog value
Configure the
4 mA
point and the
20 mA
point according to the represented input
variable.
How to configure the analog outputs:
Switch to the
Interfaces
tab.
Click on
BAM100
to open the
BAM100
tab.
Select the assignment under
Analog outputs
.
Configure the
4 mA
point and the
20 mA
point according to the represented output
variable.
How to establish a connection to the BAM100 analog module:
Make sure that you have set and saved all of the application-specific settings.
Click to connect
BAM100
module.
Close SOPAS ET and connect the Bulkscan® sensor to the BAM100 analog module
with the Ethernet connecting cable, see accessories (see "12.2 Accessories“ on
page 96). An RJ45 female connector is provided on the BAM100 module for this
purpose (see electrical installation).
The Bulkscan® and the BAM100 use a point-to-point connection. It is not allowed to
connect the BAM100 through a network..
4.15
Data interfaces
The Bulkscan® LMS511 and Bulkscan® LMS111 have different data interfaces for the
configuration and the transmission of measured values.
It is only possible to output all measured values of a scan in real-time using the Ether-
net interface.
