6.5 System parameters
The system parameters are different for every type of conveyor (Breaker, Carcass and
Tread).
The parameter values are stored in the VVS parameter file VVS_Prm.ini.
The default parameter values stored in the VVS parameter file VVS_DefPrm.ini.
Some system parameters deal with calibrations. For example, the 'Counts Per Meter'
parameter value is determined during encoder calibration.

Delta Body If width increases less than 0.5 mm in 50 ms
the breaker algorithm switches over to body
centering.
If 0 is entered here, the PLC has to take care of
the switch from LE to Body by setting the
command bit (refer to Command buffer on
