Commissioning
Overview of the steps for commissioning:
1.
Teaching-in the reference contour
(see "8.1 Teaching-in the reference contour“ on page 64).
2.
Configuration of measurement parameters
a. Set the belt speed (see "4.1 Setting the belt speed“ on page 17).
b. Set the measurement of the mass flow rate or bulk density
(see "4.5 Measurement of the mass flow rate“ on page 19). or (see "4.6 Mea
surement of the bulk density“ on page 20).
c. Set the measurement of the bulk height (see "4.7 Measurement of the bulk
3.
Configuration of inputs and outputs
a. Digital inputs (see "4.12 Digital inputs“ on page 25).
b. Digital outputs (see "4.13 Digital outputs“ on page 26).
c. Analog module BAM100 (see "4.14 Analog module BAM100“ on page 28).
4.
Carry out a test measurement to configure system parameters
(see "8.2 Performing a test measurement“ on page 68).
a. Setting tolerances (see "8.3 Setting tolerances“ on page 68).
b. Set the Contamination measurement
(see "8.4 Monitoring of the contamination degree“ on page 71).
c. Set the Scan frequency (see "8.5 Scan frequency“ on page 72).
5.
Undertake a reference measurement (compensation function) (see "8.6 Taking
a reference measurement (compensation function)“ on page 73).
Saving the configuration in the non-volatile memory
Following successful commissioning, you should save the parameters in the non-vola-
tile memory:
Select Bulkscan® LMS511 or Bulkscan® LMS111, Parameters, Save permanent, to
save the configuration in non-volatile memory in the sensor.
Select File, Save device file, to save the configuration outside the sensor, e.g., to
have a backup in case of sensor replacement.
8.1
Teaching-in the reference contour
The reference contour is the field of view of the sensor when the conveyor belt is empty.
It is the basis for the calculation of the measured values. Use the scan view in SOPAS to
check the reference contour as an online graphic.

How to teach-in the reference contour:
Start SOPAS and establish a connection to the sensor.
Log in as Authorized client.
Click
Maintenance
mode on the
Measurement
configuration bar to set the sensor to
maintenance mode.
On the
Teach-in
configuration bar set the
Angle: left
(negative value) and
right
(posi-
tive value) such that the maximum possible conveyor belt width can be detected.
or: Click and drag the left or right edge beam to the required aperture angle in the
monitor.
To reduce the measuring error, we recommend selecting the left and right angle such
that only the maximum possible load on the conveyor belt is detected.
