CONFIGURABLE FUNCTIONS
Click on Digital outputs to open the Digital outputs tab (see "4.13 Digital outputs“
on page 25).
Select the assignment Mass ow rate for the required output.
Select the required Logic.
DenetheLower limit, the Upper limit, and the associated Hysteresis.
How to congure the signaling of the mass ow rate on an analog output:
Switch to the Interfaces tab.
Click on BAM 100 to open the BAM 100 tab (see "4.14 Analog module BAM100“ on
page 26).
Select the assignment Mass ow rate for the required output.
Denethe4 mA point and the 20 mA point.
4.6 Measurement of the bulk density
The bulk density is the mass transported per unit volume.

sor then uses this value instead of the measured value.

How to congure the calculation of the bulk density:
Switch to the Measurement tab.
ConguretheBelt speed (see "4.1 Setting the belt speed“ on page 16).
ConguretheMass ow rate as a Fixed value or Analog value.
Activate the Bulk density as a Calculated value.
ConguretheFlow averaging lter, if required.
How to congure the signaling of the bulk density on a digital output:
Switch to the Interfaces tab.

on page 25).
Select the assignment Bulk density for the required output.
Select the required Logic.

Select the assignment Bulk density for the required output.
Denethe4 mA point and the 20 mA point.
4.7 Measurement of the bulk height
The sensor determines the height of the bulk on the conveyor belt from the measured
contour. This function can be used to protect downstream machines from bulk which is
too tall.
