This section describes the functions of the Bulkscan which can be selected via soft-
ware.
4.1 Setting the belt speed
Inordertomeasuretheow,itisessentialtodeterminethespeedatwhichthebulkis
moving on the conveyor belt.
There are several ways to transmit/transfer the belt speed to the Bulkscan.
• Setaxedandknownbeltspeed.
• Connect an encoder to the Bulkscan.
• Connect a current signal via the analog module (see "12.2 Accessories“ on page
77).
• Transmit the belt speed via telegram (see "13.1 Telegram reference“ on page 80).
The Bulkscan can monitor the belt speed and signal on a digital output if the control
range is left.
How to set a xed value for the belt speed:
 Switch to the Measurement tab.
 Set Fixed value as the source as in the Belt speed group.
 CongureavaluefortheFixed belt speed.
 If necessary, you can use a Status signal with the required Logic for the belt opera-
tion (see "4.12 Digital inputs“ on page 24).
How to set an encoder:
 Switch to the Measurement tab.
 Set Encoder as the source in the Belt speed group.
 ConguretheResolutionoftheencoder.Thisiscalculatedfromthecircumferenceof
the measuring wheel (shaft) and the number of lines.
Measuring wheel circumference in mm
Resolution =
Number of lines
 Ifnecessary,youcancongureDirectiondetection(positiveandnegativeows)via
phase or level.
How to set an analog value for the belt speed:
 Switch to the Measurement tab.
 Set Analog value as the source in the Belt speed group.
 Congurethe4 mA point as well as the 20 mA point with the associated belt
speeds.
How to congure the belt speed signaling on a digital output:
 Switch to the Measurement tab.
 ConguretheBelt speed as Encoder or as Analog value.
 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 Belt speed for the required output.
 Select the required Logic.
 DenetheLower limit, the Upper limit and the associated Hysteresis.
