Siemens milltronics MCS BELT SCALE Manuel D'utilisation page 6

Operation
MCS belt scale works with an existing troughed conveyor and a Siemens integrator. As
material moves along the conveyor belt and travels over the belt scale, it exerts a force
proportional to the material load through the belt and suspended idler to the load cells.
MCS reacts only to the vertical component of the applied force. The resulting movement
in each load cell is sensed by its strain gauges. When the strain gauges are excited by
voltage from the electronic integrator, they produce an electrical signal proportional to
weight, which is then returned to the integrator. The vertical movement of the load cells is
limited by the positive overload stop incorporated into the MCS design.
