11.4.10  Belt length 
The length of the conveyor belt is measured during commissioning, and entered. This is 
usually twice the distance between the axes of the deflection pulleys plus the single 
circumference of the pulley. The input is made in the length unit from the belt load. 
Note 
If the jumper is closed to protect data with verification capability, the parameter can no longer 
be changed. 
11.4.11  Number of belt revolutions 
At least one belt revolution is required for the calibration. You can increase the number of 
belt revolutions in order to increase the accuracy of the equipment. 
11.4.12  Speed detection 
There are three options for determining the current speed: 
0 – no speed sensor present. Specification of a constant belt speed or determination of it. 
1 – speed sensor at digital input DI.0 
2 – external specification of belt speed from CPU (via DR19) 
Note 
If the jumper is closed to protect data with verification capability, the parameter can no longer 
be changed. 
11.4.13  Design speed 
The design speed can be determined with the belt empty. To this end, the time for one or 
more belt revolutions is measured, and the speed determined from this.  
11.4.14  Speed correction if belt loaded 
If a speed sensor is not used (speed detection = 0, see Speed detection (Page 104)), a 
speed correction can be determined at a certain belt load factor (preferably the nominal load) 
in addition to the design speed. A load-dependent characteristic for the speed then results 
together with the design speed. This characteristic is determined by two working points: 
Design speed with empty belt and a speed factor correction with a certain belt load factor. 
The specification is made in % of the design speed.
