Calibration
After the MCS, the speed sensor, and the integrator have been properly installed and
wired, calibration of the weighing system must be done in conjunction with the integrator.
Refer to the integrator instruction manual for programming and calibration. All instruction
manuals are available for free download at www.siemens.com/processautomation. The
calibration is initially done using the test weight(s). Material tests are recommended to
achieve the greatest accuracy. For more information about material tests, refer to the
integrator manual.
Balancing
For applications where the conveyor loading does not repeat in locations across the
width of the belt, such as side-to-side loading, electronic balancing of the two load cells
is recommended. Balancing is completed during the initial start-up, but should be
repeated if either load cell is reinstalled or replaced. Refer to the associated integrator
manual to complete the balancing procedure.
Permanently fix the test weight bracket toward the centre of the idler on the most
accessible side of the conveyor. When balancing load cells, apply a test weight to the
extreme sides (side A or B), as required. For use with optional flat bar, apply weights to
optional idler clamping brackets as illustrated on page 7.
