1.2 The MULTICONT System

The MULTICONT is a microprocessor-controlled
decentralized data acquisition and evaluation system for
continuous weighers and feeders. Each weighing
system basically comprises at least one FSE system
unit, one or several FEA input/output units and FME
measurement data acquisition units (RC version), or one
or multiple FEA input/output units (NC version). The
weighing systems are individually controlled and
monitored via one or two FLB machine control stations
or collectively via an FZB group control station, the latter
enabling group rate control functions to be effected. The
units communicate via serial buses. A host system can
be connected to the group control station.
The MULTICONT system is programmed for the
application by software. The specific settings
(adaptation to hardware, interface assignment,
controller setting, etc.) are effected by configuration and
parametrization. Access to these functions is protected.

stations can be connected to one feeder.
FZB Group Control Station is designed for operating
and controlling several feeders, either as individual
machines or as a group of feeders enabling group rate
functions to be effected. The FZB is connected to the
batch processor.
For commissioning and calibration feeder can be
controlled by means of a Local Control Box in Local
Mode. Visual contact to feeder is required. Local mode
overrides any other mode of operation.

1.3 SIMPLEX Loss-in-Weight Feeders
Fig. 1.3: SIMPLEX Operating Priciple

The SIMPLEX loss-in-weight feeders are designed to
operate on the principle of controlled loss-in-weight, i.e.
weighed is not the amount of material fed but the loss in
weight of the supply bin, the latter being used for feed
rate control. A weigh bin is mounted on one or several
load cells whose output voltage is proportional to the
applied force and thus to the fill weight. With fill unit shut,
speed dF/dt of bin level variation corresponds to the feed
rate of the discharge unit. An A/D converter prepares the
voltage for subsequent acquisition of the actual feed rate
value by the feed rate calculator. The controller
continues varying the control magnitude and thus the
number of revolutions of the discharge unit until feed rate
corresponds to setpoint.
During the time of refilling, the actual feed rate cannot
be acquired due to the impacts exerted by the in-flowing
material. During this phase, the number of revolutions
of the discharge unit is kept constant. As control
magnitude, a proportional setpoint component is used
superimposed by the latest controller output value. If the
refilling time and thus volumetric discharge time is short
as compared to gravimetric discharge time and if feeder
is correctly rated, discharge variations during filling
phase are scarcely considerable and do not affect
feeding constancy.
Fig. 1.3 illustrates the operating principle of a SIMPLEX

feeder.
(A)
Feeder is active and discharged down to bin

level HMIN1, i.e. bin contents is reduced to the
material buffer. Command REFILL is routed to
fill unit.
(B)
After elapse of the response time, fill unit starts

opening.
(C)
After the opening time, fill unit is totally open.
(D)
Bin level has reached level HMAX1, fill unit

starts closing.
(E)
Fill unit is shut, impacts of in-flowing material on

feeder are dying down.
(F)
After settling time TBRUHE, the actual measuring and control period commences, that is to
say, gravimetric feeding.
(G)
Next filling cycle starts.
Significant procedures and values can be internally

monitored and set by parameters.

1.3.1 Fill Control
HMAX1
AMOUNT
HMIN1
HMIN2
BUFFER
Initial filling can be started only in the OFF state of

feeder. If automatic initial filling is turned ON (K 03.02
FIL_AUT), refilling mode can be started by contact (see
Chapter 2, Tab. 2.1) provided that the marginal
conditions are given (feeder OFF, fill weight < HMIN2).
Further, initial filling is started if event message SC 01
Bin Level < HMIN2" is acknowledged for the first time
after power-up or power failure.
If the automatic control is cut off, refilling mode requires
to be preselected (K 10.03 FIL_VOR) before start, thus
allowing additional safety interrogations to be effected.
Refilling in feeding mode is started, or stopped,
automatically if contacts HMIN1, or HMAX1, are
reached.
The refilling mode can be
> totally controlled by external fill control,
Fig.1.4: Terms of Refilling Mode

The fill control is prepared to control refilling of weigh bin
whose contents is divided in buffer and feed amount.
The buffer is the material amount required to be
permanently available in weigh bin so as to prevent
adverse effects on material discharge of feed unit. The
feed amount refers to the quantity discharged during
feeding.
The fill unit is controlled by pulses in order to avoid weigh
bin overflow or flushing with difficult-to-feed materials.
Continuous refilling is possible. Limit values for control
and monitoring of refilling mode are entered as
parameters in Blocks P 06, P 07 and P 13.
> initiated, or blocked, externally through semi-automatic MULTICONT control,

> controlled by MULTICONT only,
> completely cut off.
Manual start or interruption of refilling is possible by
using the function distributor (s. 3.4.4). Cut-off can be
configured.
Refilling mode requires to be cut off if no automatic fill
units are available and refilling is by manual intervention.
Instead of the control signals, only a warning signal is
output reporting that bin level has fallen below HMIN1.
In its basic version, fill control controls

> Initial filling (bin level h < HMIN2),
> Refilling (HMIN2 < bin level h < HMAX1),
in its extended version,
> Additional fill units (configuration Blocks K 17, K 18),
> Auxiliary fill devices (configuration Block K 19).

1.3.2 Gravimetric/Volumetric Mode
SIMPLEX
1.3.3 Batching Mode
Gravimetric Mode is the mode for feeding. Load cell

signals are processed and used for feed rate control.
During refilling and start-up phase, changeover to
Volumetric Mode 1 is automatically effected. In
Volumetric Mode, the number of revolutions of
discharge unit is kept constant according to setpoint.
Two volumetric modes are available:
Volumetric Mode 1
with stored correction variable,
Volumetric Mode 2,
with no correction variable.
With no correction variable, the number of revolutions is
controlled by a control magnitude set upon
commissioning for each feed index in accordance with
feed rate setpoint. If a correction variable is used, the
control magnitude is acquired during Gravimetric Mode
and stored.

Either residual amount Zd or amount fed Zb can be

displayed.
Enter pre-act contact Residual Amount, pre-act
contact Set Feed Rate and main contact Residual
Amount as parameters. Main contact is self-optimizing,
i.e. when a batch is terminated the difference between
batch setpoint and actually fed amount is acquired. If
deviation is too high, main contact Residual Amount is
calculated anew.

control station in Mode 0 and via a machine control
station in Mode 1.
Test Mode and Local Mode serve for commissioning and
service, the access is protected. In Local Mode,
operation is via the local control box. In this mode, only
a limited number of feeder functions is accessible and
active.
Some of the functions listed in Table 2.1 are operated
by function keys, others via function distributor. Table
2.2 shows the sub-distributors and functions accessed
via function distributor. Access to the functions identified
by can be protected by fuse-link contact (keylock

switch) and password. Password (7274) cannot be
changed, interrogation can be switched ON, or OFF, by
means of Parameter P 00.01.

Program End:
Acquired values are stored as parameters in Block P 05.
Program Control Magnitude Compensation serves for

acquisition of the characteristic curve of a vibro-feeder
used as feed unit. Control magnitudes and feed rate
actual values are measured for different setpoints and
stored as parameters in Block P 05. When
compensation is activated (K 11.12), values are used for
computation of characteristic curve.
To enable operational restrictions to be considered
during set-up, (e.g. only certain setpoints possible),
program is designed semi-automatic and requires to be
started and terminated individually for each point. The
points can be processed in random sequence. However,
the assignment of setpoints to the identification numbers
of points has to be observed in any case; setpoint
increases with increasing point number. The number of
compensation points (maximum 5) used have to be
acquired for computation is set as Parameter P 05.13.
The values have to be acquired for each individual point
, otherwise the default values are used for computation.
Note:
After termination of program, monitoring becomes active
as soon as compensation is ON. If in computation of
characteristic curve an error is detected in the
assignment of compensation point to feed rate, event
message CO 04 COMP PAR.NOT OK is output.
After approx. 10 min, program automatically aborts and
deletes result.

3. Commissioning and Calibration

This chapter describes all operations for commissioning,
or calibration, of a SIMPLEX loss-in-weight feeder which
are to be performed by the Multicont measuring and
control system. For individual operator steps such as,
for instance, marginal conditions of set-up programs,
see relevant sections of Chapter 3.
external indication instruments. Output assignment is

specified in Block K 10.
3.3 Taring
After entry of rated data (see also feed index), feeder
tares. The automatic taring program (s. 3.1.1) serves for
electrical compensation of acquired tare.
3.1 Power ON
Before powering feeder, check mechanical installation
in accordance with manual and electrical connections in
accordance with circuit diagrams.
After power-up, the feeder data stored are loaded from
the E2PROM into the active store. This is when system
message SCHENCK MULTICONT is displayed. If
system is ready to operate the message effaces and the
current operating state is displayed. For clearing of event
messages, occurring e.g. due to a missing release
signal, see instructions in Chapter 6.
3.4 Weight Check
3.2 System Adaptation
3.5 Control Signals Check
The feeder is factory-configured in accordance with

specification. Deviations have to be realized upon
commissioning. Configuration data and parameters
require to be entered accordingly. For rated data of
feeder, see relevant Spec Sheets.
Weight control being effected, feeder is theoretically

ready to operate. In Test Mode feeder can be operated
in all sub-modes with no load. To that end, load cell and
speed signals are simulated enabling control signals
(e.g. fill control) and operation of peripherals to be
checked. Enter fill time to be simulated in Block P 18.
Signals can be checked with the aid of function Service

and input/output units.

If weigh hopper is not exclusively mounted on load cells,

but additionally guided by leaf springs or levers, a weight
check (s. 3.2.2) is necessary. Disturbances caused by
the mechanical equipment not acquired by the taring
program are compensated by the check program.
3.6 Initial Filling

All further setting operations have to be performed with
material loaded. As a consequence, initial filling is
required. Time conditions (Block P 06) for filling are to
be defined in accordance with material properties.
Material tending to flushing requires long settling pauses
and short pulse times. Before feeder start, the material
must have totally settled.

3.7 Bypass Setting
3.9 Controller Setting
In Volumetric Mode 2, setpoint bypass bn (P 05.02) is

used as feed drive control magnitude. For bypass
setting, call volumetric mode via function distributor,
enter nominal feed rate as setpoint and start feeder.
Check actual feed rate during operation. Set parameter
such that the actual feed rate corresponds to setpoint.
Do not exceed range from 4.5 V to 6.5 V; if necessary,
adjust external feed drive controller accordingly.
Controller can be set automatically by program

Controller Optimization (s. 3.2.5) or by manual
intervention (P 05.03, 05.04). Dynamic factor (P 05.01)
influences the dynamic controller properties and
requires to be set before program start.
3.10 Setting of Disturbance-AutoElimination
3.8 Control Magnitude Compensation

This function is required only if a vibro-feeder is used as
feed unit, serving for compensation of its non-linear
behaviour. Via function distributor a program for
determination of configuration values can be called
(s.3.2.3). Subsequently compensation is activated by
configuration (K11.12).
After controller setting, the Disturbance- AutoElimination is set by program (s.3.2.4). Switch feeder to
gravimetric mode, enter a mean value as feed rate
setpoint and start feeder. Then start program. When
program has run through and value is acquired, feeder
is ready to operate.

4. Configuration
4.1 General Comments
The MULTICONT system is adapted to any users
requirements by configuration. From the scope of
available functions only those
required for the
application are activated. Analog inputs and outputs are
assigned to logical signals and data. The event
messages are grouped in different classes. Entry is via
function Configuration (s. 2.4.2). The values for source
type, source, and event class can be selected from the
admissible range by cursor operation.
The system is factory-configured in accordance with
specification. Modifications should exclusively be
effected by persons with comprehensive system
knowledge.
Section 4.2 Overview comprises a list of configuration
blocks complete with available signals and functions
facilitating location of individual data.
In Section 4.3 Index, all configuration data including
default values and setting ranges are listed. The
representation corresponds to the display of a machine
control station; additional symbols and block names
largely reduce the need for explanatory texts.
As form of representation a bordered three-line block

has been selected. The first line contains the name and
(with inputs and outputs) a symbol. The indications in
lines 2 and 3 correspond to the display in the setpoint
field and in the input/output field of a machine control
station. If the lines are dashed, no entry is possible.

5. Parametrization
5.1 Parameter Designation
Parameters complete configuration and serve for total
system definition. All rated data, calibration and
evaluation data as well as controller settings, limit
values, and standard interfaces are entered as
parameters. All functions required for parameter setting
can be accessed via the function distributor. The
operating functions are described in Chapter 2
Functions and Operating Modes.
For rated data, calibration and evaluation data, see
relevant data sheets.
Section 5.2 Overview comprises a list of all parameter
blocks which enables instantaneous survey and
facilitates location of individual parameters.
The representation in Section 5.3 follows the display of

a machine control station. All parameters are
represented in a bordered three-line block. The first line
contains the parameter name. The indications in lines 2
and 3 correspond to the display in the setpoint field and
the input/output field of a machine control station.
Name

Symbol
Value
In Section 5.3 Index, all parameter blocks including
default values and eligible settings are listed.
The parameter units can be converted from the
international (SI) to the American system of units by
configuration (K 00.11 Nonsi).

Note:
Additional information.
The parameter name refers to the function and serves

as search key in the alphabetic search list.
The parameter number is composed of block number,
position of parameter within the block and the letter P.
This number serves for identification and is shown in the
setpoint field together with the symbol.
The symbol as such serves for identification of
parameter on display.
The value shows the current parameter setting. The
index comprises the default values of the standard
version. They can be loaded any time with sub-function
Load Init. Par.. Deviating values are marked on display
by a * at the beginning of the line.

Calibration Suggestion:
Attention!
Pressure is measured with a 4...20mA sensor.

However, the maximum pressure to be measured
corresponds to 10mA.
Maximum possible pressure must be considered in

Parameter P 02.03 (mes_res).
Taring program may be used only in depressurized state
and with compensation precisely set.
1.
Set P 20.01 (d_nenn) to 10/20 100% = 50%

(at best, somewhat higher).
With 100% setting, signal is also measured, but
amplifier is not fully utilized.
2.
Set P 20.08 (d_vork) to a value just below 4/20

100% = 20%.
Measurement also uses the 0% setting (see
Item 1).
After changing Parameter P 20.01 or P 20.08,
repeat these steps:
3.
Set P 20.02 (d_norm) to 0.
4.
Remove power from system and read off

The MULTICONT system monitors the hardware as well
as the signals and parameters decisive for feeding
operation and operating safety. Malfunctions or
deviations from setpoints are reported as events. Event
classes and reactions are assigned per configuration.
resulting from group index and position number within

the group.
There are four event classes with the following

reactions:
The event messages are displayed in the event field as

follows:

event list,
Within a group as per position number.
Displays of classes Alarm and W1" require to be
acknowledged. Display as W2 event follows, however,
with the correct status being internally maintained. After
remedy of cause display effaces. Displays of class W2
need not be acknowledged; they disappear after remedy
of course.
The acknowledgement has a general effect on all event
messages available at the same time.
After start of feeder, all event messages of groups HI

1. Many configurators and parameters have a limited

setting range as compared to the normal version.
See Annex C.
2. Alarm :
Load cell amplifier underamplified, or overamplified.
Use parameters h_rest and mes_res to extend
measuring range up or down. Frequent cut-off can
thus be avoided.
mes_res
is entered as factor to the feed amount

and should not exceed 1.5.
Measurement is then possible up to 1.5
AMOUNT.
h_rest
is preset in kg.
Value is active only after taring. A value
of approx. 5% of BUFFER is recommended.
MAX =
BUFFER +(AMOUNT mes_res)

100 %
BUFFER + AMOUNT
If bmax is set to a value lower than MAX, the MAX

message is output before Message CA 02
(LC OUT > MAX).
Bmax2 is preset as alarm, the event class of bmax1
can be selected.
7. Restart after Excess Filling.
After alarm, feeder can only be cleared via local
control box.
If no such device is available, parameters mes_res
or the feed amount can be temporarily extended.
After a fault, reset changed parameters to
previous values.
8. Monitoring Unit.
This circuitry monitors the relation between
armature voltage and feed rate setpoint and requires
to be thoroughly adjusted.
a) Preselect feeder nominal feed rate.
b) On limit switch -A13/49-8 a voltage V(SET) of
approx. 8 V should come up. Jot V(SET) value.
Effect corrections with parameter PS_BER.

c) Use Potentiometer R1 (large pot) to adjust a

voltage of 2/3 * V(SET) in separating stage -U10
(ZW2001) on limit switch -A13/9-8.
Multicont is cut off at 33 % speed excess.
d) Limit switch -A14 must respond at armature
voltages below 20 V and cut off feeder.
e) Both limit switches may have a hysteresis setter.
Do not select hysteresis too high.
f)
Set start-up bridging (Relay -K2) to approx. 2 s.
g) Set fault response time (Relay -K3) to approx.

Thoroughly adjust speed control circuit and call
function REGLEROPT.
Do not fail to call function REGLEROPT after having
changed one of the above parameters.
Dynfak must not exceed nor equal 1. With pulverized
coal feeders, the resulting PI controller entails inadmissibly high control magnitude variations.
