CONFIGURABLE FUNCTIONS
• Ensure that the set pulse width is as short as possible and as long as necessary for
the device connected to the digital output to still detect the pulse.
• Ensure that the duration of the pause between pulses is longer than the cycle time
resulting from the scan frequency (see "8.5 Scan frequency“ on page 61).
Behavior as switching output
The digital output is activated when the measured value falls below the set lower limit
value or exceeds the set upper limit. The output remains active until the measured
value lies within the set limit values again.
Ifthemeasuredvaluesuctuateabouttheupperorlowerlimitvalue,thedigitaloutput
would switch continuously. In practice, this behavior is not desirable. This is prevented
bythecongurableHysteresis.
• A small hysteresis increases the switching frequency at the limit value.
• A large hysteresis reduces the switching frequency at the limit value.
4.14 Analog module BAM100
The Bulkscan can read in and output analog current values in the range 4 to 20 mA via
the analog module.
Analog input signals are converted to digital format and transmitted to the Bulkscan.
The analog module 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 ow rate
The analog module has four analog outputs, which can be assigned the following out-
put variables:
• Volume ow rate
• Mass ow rate
• Center of gravity
• Bulk height
• Bulk density
• Belt speed
The analog module must be ordered in addition to the basic device.
How to congure the analog inputs:
 Switch to the Measurement tab.
 CongurethereqiredinputsourceasAnalog value
 Congurethe4 mA point and the 20 mA point according to the represented input
variable.
How to congure the analog outputs:
 Switch to the Interfaces tab.
 Click on BAM100 to open the BAM100 tab.
 Select the assignment under Analog outputs.
 Congure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-specicsettings.
 Click to connect BAM100 module.

 Close SOPAS ET and connect the Bulkscan to the BAM100 analog module with the
Ethernet connecting cable, see accessories (see "12.2 Accessories“ on page 77).
An RJ45 female connector is provided on the BAM100 module for this purpose (see
electrical installation).
4.15 Data interfaces
TheBulkscanhasdifferentdatainterfacesfortheconguration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.
4.15.1 Ethernet interface
The Ethernet interface has a data transmission rate of 10/100 Mbit/s. The interface is
a TCP/IP interface supporting full duplex and half duplex.
TheEthernetinterfaceallowsthecongurationoftheBulkscanaswellastheoutputof
measured values.
TheEthernetinterfaceisconguredforDHCPasfactorysetting(automaticdetectionof
theDHCPserverandretrievaloftheIPconguration).
IfyournetworkusesstaticIPaddresses,thenyoumustadapttheconguration¬ofthe
Ethernet interface so that a connected PC (client) can communicate with the Bulkscan
viaEthernet.IfyouareunsureaboutthecorrectEthernetconguration,pleasecontact
your network administrator.
Network tab, Interfaces, Ethernet
If you change the parameters for the interface via which you are connected to the sen-
sor, the connection to the sensor will be lost. You must re-establish the connection (see
"7.1.2 Establishing communication with the Bulkscan“ on page 50).
To connect the electrical interface, (see "6.2.3 Ethernet interface connection“ on page
40).
4.15.2 Serial host interface
The Serial host interface is an RS-232/RS-422 interface. The host interface permits the
congurationoftheBulkscanandlimitedoutputofmeasuredvalues.
Theinterfaceparametersarefreelycongurable.
Network tab, Interfaces, Serial, Serial Host Interface group.
The factory setting for the host interface is as follows:
• 57,600 baud
• 8 data bits
• 1 stop bit
• No parity bit
The data transmission rate of the RS-232/RS-422 interfaces is limited to 57,600 baud.
Therefore these interfaces are not suitable for transmitting scan data in real time.
