The analog measurement value coming from the load cells is converted into a
digital value with an analog-digital converter. A weight value is then calculated from
this digital value. All functions of the SIWAREX FTC then uses this weight value for
executing their task.
To calculate the weight value from the digital value, the characteristic curve of the
measurement system must be determined. In the simplest case, the characteristic
curve is defined by points 0 and 1. The first operating point (point 0) is always
determined by the empty scale alone with its own construction weight. The weight
of its own construction, the scale load cells deliver a measurement voltage to the
SIWAREX FTC. After the analog-digital conversion of the measurement voltage,
the digital value (adjustment digit 0) is assigned the zero point (zero weight).
For determining the average value of the adjustment point for the belt scale (zero
point, adjustment weight) over a predefined period of time, the determination time
must be defined. This time entry is not applicable for other operating modes.
If the scale is loaded with a known calibration weight (e.g. with 50 % of the
measurement range), then the second operation point can be determined. The new
digital value from the analog-digital converter is now assigned the calibration weight.
The characteristic curve can be further adjusted using a maximum of three other
points that must lie above point 1.
