1 DOCUMENTATION
This document describes the technical feeding functions of the F-Control

This document is intended for the users of the F-Control
Knowledge of this function description has been assumed in all other available F-Control
documents. The system characteristics of the F-Control are also explained in document no.
899.470.00.10-SB.
The other available F-Control documentation is listed in 899.470.00.01-UB “Overview of F-
Control documents”.
2 GENERAL
F-Control is a feeding control system for gravimetrically and continuously dosing feed
systems. The following feeding systems can be controlled:
• all rotor weighfeeder types
• all belt system types (weighfeeders and conveyor weighfeeders)
• all flow rate and flow metering system types (baffle plate system, Coriolis flow meter
etc.) (not yet implemented)
• Differential scales (not yet implemented)
3 FUNCTIONS
3 .1 MATERIAL FLOW MEASUREMENT
A material flow measurement is a basic prerequisite for all other feeding system functions.
This measurement depends on the relevant feeding system.
3 .1.1 Rotary weighfeeders and belt systems
The material flow is determined by the weight of the material on the measuring section
(=weight per section) and the speed thereof.
In order to determine the load and speed variables, the feeding systems are equipped with
appropriate sensors:
• Load cells for recording the weight on the measuring section
• Speed recorder such as tachometer or incremental transmitter
The current material flow is calculated from these measured variables. In feeding systems
with a constant transportation speed (e.g. a conveyor weighfeeder), no speed measurement
is required.

3 .2 FEEDING
Like the material flow measurement, feeding takes place depending on the feeding system
that is used. The accuracy of the feeding is the decisive criterion in the evaluation of the
feeding systems.

7/98
TRE / 2010-09-29 899.470.10.01-FB-0-GB
3 .2.1 Feeding systems with ProsCon
With rotary weighfeeders and belt systems, feeding takes place using the “ProsCon” feeding
strategy. This is a procedure whereby a difference between the actual feeding flow and the
target feeding flow is basically avoided. A prerequisite for this procedure is a local distance
between the measuring point and the discharge point.
The feeding difference essentially consists of the bulk density and load variables. The speed
of the material corresponds with the speed of the conveyor system.
With the ProsCon feeding strategy, anticipated feeding differences are avoided by controlling
the speed. The reaction speed of the drive system must be known and stored in the feeding
controller. It is therefore not necessary to parameterise a controller.
3 .2.2 Feeding systems without ProsCon
not yet implemented

3 .2.3 Auto reverse
In order to prevent the feeding system from failing due to rotor blockages, the auto reverse
function (if enabled) is activated if a rotor stop is detected during operation. The feeding
system drive is reversed for a short time during feeding operation in order to release material
that may be blocked or trapped. The drive is then automatically switched back into forwards
operation. This procedure can be repeated up to three times. If the rotor is still blocked, the
feeding system fails.

3 .3 MATERIAL SILO
3 .3.1 Weight recording
The status of a material silo (supply silo and/or prehopper) that is equipped with a
gravimetric bunker measuring device can be monitored by the feed controller. Depending on
the weight of the material, the relevant limits for alarming, silo filling and control
measurement are set.
3 .3.2 Aeration
Material silos that are equipped with an aeration device for improving the flow of material are
also controlled by the feed controller in accordance with the requirements of the relevant
material extractor. Any changeovers between aeration media (air, inert gas etc.) are also
controlled.
3 .4 PREHOPPER SCALE
The prehopper scale is a container that is mounted on load cells and is mainly used to
decouple the feeding system from a supply silo. The prehopper must be filled intermittently
or continuously. The feeding system obtains material directly from the prehopper or the
discharge device.
3 .4.1 Refill system
The prehopper is replenished in accordance with the “FlowBalance” procedure. The goal is to
avoid low filling levels in the prehopper, which could lead to the feeding system being
charged with an inadequate amount of material.

9/98
TRE / 2010-09-29 899.470.10.01-FB-0-GB
3 .4.1.1 FlowBalance
The FlowBalance system is basically intended to provide equilibrium between the discharging
and replenishing of material in a prehopper. Since the current removal capacity of the feeding
system is known, the replenishing capacity of the replenishing device can be estimated from
the changes to the prehopper weight. The performance characteristic curve of the
replenishing device is determined in this way. This ensures that the replenishing device
provides a delay-free supply, even in the event of considerable changes to the removal
capacity. The result is optimum prehopper filling.
If the filling level is below a tolerated range around the target value, replenishing takes place
at maximum replenishing speed.

3 .4.1.2 Auto Level
In order to control replenishing, several limits are monitored in the prehopper that are
adapted to the relevant situation in the “Auto Level” function. This is done by increasing the
filling level on request or when each control measurement occurs (see below), until the
maximum sensor of the prehopper is activated. The limits are then redistributed in order to
take account of the varying bulk densities of the material and obtain an optimum supply of
material.
3 .5 CONTROL MEASUREMENT
In order to maintain the long-term accuracy of a feeding system, a comparison is made

between a prehopper scale (control container) and the feeding system. The feeding is neither
interrupted nor influenced when this takes place.

10/98
TRE / 2010-09-29 899.470.10.01-FB-0-GB
The feeding system must extract material from the control container to do this. The control
container must not be replenished during the control measurement. Once the control
measurement has started, the quantity that is extracted from the control container is
continuously calculated. At the same time, the quantity that the feeding system has metered
during the same time is determined. After a certain amount has been extracted from the
control container, the control measurement stops automatically. Control container
replenishing must then be started.
Since the control measurement is based on a control quantity, the duration of the control
measurement is directly dependent on the current feeding capacity.
At the end of the control measurement, the difference between the extracted quantity and
the quantity that has been fed in is calculated. On the assumption that the control scale is
the reference system with regard to long-term stability, the feeding capacity of the feeding
system is adjusted by this correction factor.
A control measurement can be carried out every day in order to detect feeding system
changes at an early stage.

3 .6 PRE-FEEDING
Feeding systems are operated with “direct extraction”, provided that the material flow
properties are suitable. This means that the material is extracted directly from a prehopper or
supply silo by the feeding system.
With free-flowing or even rapid-flowing materials, the feeding system must be charged using
a suitable prefeeding device (dosing gate, rotary feeder etc.) in such a way that the feeding
system is not overloaded and no relative movement of the material takes place on the
conveyor section.
Pre-feeding can therefore take place from a prehopper or directly from a supply silo.

11/98
TRE / 2010-09-29 899.470.10.01-FB-0-GB
3 .6.1 Feeding systems with ProsCon
These feeding systems use the “OptVolume” procedure, which is based on charging the
conveyed volume of the conveyor section with maximum efficiency.
The current speed of the conveyor section is used as a control signal and the pre-feeding
device is controlled in such a way that it achieves the volumetric flow that is required for the
feeding that is currently taking place.
The demands that are made of pre-feeding accuracy are not as strict as the requirements
that apply to the actual feeding. The goal is to keep sufficient load on the feeding system to
achieve the maximum feeding capacity.
3 .6.2 Feeding systems without ProsCon
not yet implemented
4 CONTROL
4 .1 OPERATING MODES
The feeding system is designed for optimum integration in customer control systems. Various
operating modes are available for this purpose.
4 .1.1 Remote mode
Remote mode is the operating mode for fully automatic gravimetric feeding. All control is
carried out by the control system via the host interface.
Only the control system can enable the feeding control system for switching over to another
operating mode. Remote mode overrides local mode.
4 .1.2 Local mode
Local mode is used to operate the control system, mainly for configuration and starting up
the individual function groups such as the drive, the prehopper scale etc.
Local mode can only be selected if no other operating mode has been selected. Selection and
operation take place via the FSI service interface.
4 .1.3 Field mode
Field mode is used to maintain and set up the feeding machine. The individual actuators
(motors, valves etc.) are operated statically for test purposes.
Selection and operation take place on the local panel FLP. Field mode can only be selected
outside remote mode and overrides local mode.
4 .1.4 No mode
If no operating mode is selected the controller is in “no mode”. The feeding system cannot be
operated in this mode.
4 .2 START/STOP BEHAVIOUR
4 .2.1 Start enable
A start enable is always expected, regardless of the selected operating mode. This is signalled
via the (hard-wired) interface of the feeding controller and is intended to allow the system to
be integrated in customer interlocks. Removing the start enable stops the feeding system
unconditionally.

12/98
TRE / 2010-09-29 899.470.10.01-FB-0-GB
The start enable operates via the logic functions of the controller and is therefore suitable for
use as an emergency shut-off function. If necessary, this is achieved without intervening in
the drive power supply.
4 .2.2 Start
The feeding system starts without further delays when the start conditions (operating mode,
start enable etc.) have been met.
4 .2.2.1 Feeding system
With feeding systems with ProsCon, the speed of the feeding system increases abruptly after
the system has been started with an empty feeding machine, since the ProsCon feeding
strategy attempts to achieve the feeding capacity setpoint. However, the speed is reduced
immediately as soon as the feeding system is charged, meaning that over-feeding cannot
take place. This means that a feeding system with ProsCon can always be started whilst
empty.
4 .2.2.2 Prehopper
With feeding systems that are replenished from a prehopper (or supply silo), before starting
it must be ensured that an adequate amount of material is available. Otherwise delays may
occur before the target feeding capacity is reached.
The prehopper (or supply silo) can be pre-filled in local mode.
4 .2.3 Stopping
When the feeding system is stopped, all devices such as the slide gate, the feeding drives
etc. are simultaneously closed or stopped. The feeding system stops with material in it,
provided that it has not been configured for running empty.
4 .2.3.1 Running empty
Rotors in particular should not remain stationary with material for long periods, since
potential smouldering fires cannot be monitored if there is pulverized fuel in the system.
Empty running is therefore activated for all closed feeding systems.
Empty running operation means that the supply (slide gate, pre-feeding device etc.) to the
system is cut off when the feeding system is stopped, and the feeding system continues to
operate until the load has dropped below an empty limit value. Then the feeding system is
automatically stopped after an additional rotation in order to ensure that the system is
completely empty. However, if the stop command is repeated during empty running, the
feeding system stops immediately.
The duration of empty running depends on the amount of material that has entered the
system after the shut-off device was closed, and on the current feeding capacity. The
duration can therefore be fractions of a minute or hours.
4 .2.3.2 Emptying the system
In order to empty a feeding system completely, the relevant organs must be stopped or
closed in the direction of material flow. If this cannot be achieved by means of control
intervention, this behaviour can be achieved by deleting the prehopper level setpoint, for
example. Feeding system empty running must then be selected.
4 .3 DRIVE MONITORING
Irrespective of the configuration, the feeding system has several controlled and non-
controlled motorised drives (for feeding, pre-feeding, refill system, agitator etc.). These are
controlled in according with feeding requirements. This includes the monitoring of the drive
operating status (start, stop, repair switch, temperature etc.) and also the speed controlled
drives.

13/98
TRE / 2010-09-29 899.470.10.01-FB-0-GB
4 .4 SLIDE GATE CONTROL
The shut-off devices that are present on feeding systems such as obturators and shut-off
gates are controlled by the feeding controller in accordance with material flow requirements.
The operating status thereof is also monitored (limit positions, position etc.).
4 .5 AERATION
Feeding systems are charged from either supply silos or prehoppers. In order to improve the
material flow, these can be equipped with aeration systems. These essentially consist of
aeration rings with aeration valves that apply medium to the aeration nozzles. The aeration
ring is supplied using a feeding valve, which may be equipped with an upstream air/inert gas
changeover unit for selecting the medium. A relief valve is present for relieving the pressure
of the aeration ring.
The aeration system is controlled by the feeding control system. When the aeration system is
switched on, the relief valve is closed, the supply valve is opened and the aeration valves are
actuated for a pulse period (separated by a delay).
When continuous aeration is selected, all aeration valves are actuated simultaneously.
When the aeration system is switched off, the supply valve is shut off and the aeration ring is
relieved using the relief valve.
5 COMMUNICATION
The feeding controller makes a basic distinction between two communication areas:
Internal network of feeding controller
External communication between feeding controller and production system control system
5 .1 INTERNAL NETWORK
All feeding control system components are connected via an internal network.
This network uses 100Mbit Ethernet transmission as the physical layer. Component cabling
inside the switch cabinet takes place via a central switch.
The connection between the switch cabinet and the feeding machine via a CAT5 cable allows
distances of up to 100 metres as standard. Repeaters that allow the distance to be increased
up to 300 metres are available for longer distances. The connecting point of the internal
network to the feeding machine is via a central switch in the local control unit.
Modbus-TCP is used as the protocol for the internal network. This open standard is based on
Modbus-RTU services with TCP as the transmission layer, and is known as Industrial
Ethernet. This achieves data consistency between all connected components.
5 .2 INTEGRATION IN CONTROL SYSTEMS
Since feeding systems are usually operated within production systems, there are various
ways of incorporating the control system in customer control systems.
The different interface types can also be mixed, e.g. control signals such as start/stop at the
feeding system via hardware interface, and transmission of data such as the target value and
the actual value via the network.

14/98
TRE / 2010-09-29 899.470.10.01-FB-0-GB
5 .2.1 Hardware interface (analogue / binary interface):
In the hardware interface, one “wire” is used for each value and each signal status. A limited
amount of information can be transmitted between the control system and the feed controller
using this interface. A distinction is made between:
analogue signals (4 to 20 mA) for transmitting process values such as “target value”, “actual
value”, “speed” etc.
digital signals for control purposes such as “start/stop feeding”, “error acknowledge”, and for
monitoring purposes such as “feeding in progress”, “fault!” etc.
5 .2.2 Serial interface
The Modbus RTU protocol is being prepared as the serial interface.

5 .2.3 Network interface
The network interface is used to incorporate the feeding control system in customer control
system networks. The volume of data that is available is high, whereby it is not necessary to
use all of the data.
Profibus-DP-V1 (preferred to Siemens control systems), DeviceNet (preferred to Allen-
Bradley control systems) and Ethernet TCP are available as networks for all control systems
with industrial Ethernet networks. The data that is available is independent of the network
protocol and usually IEEE coded in order to make further processing easier.
6 OPERATION
6 .1 FEEDING
The feeding system is operated in remote mode only, and can be carried out via the host
interface. The data can only be observed by local or field components in this mode. All control
intervention at these components is ignored.
6 .2 MAINTENANCE / OPTIMISATION
The FS1 service interface is available for maintaining and adjusting the feeding system. Since
the FSI is operated on the internal network, operation can be carried out at the control
cabinet or using the panel on the feeding machine.
The individual function groups of the feeding system such as feeding drive, refill system etc.
can be operated individually. The interlocks between these systems and other function
modules are not effective.
6 .3 SERVICE / REPAIR
The relevant field mode for service and repair must be selected. When working with the
feeding machine, all operation must take place within view of the feeding machine. It is
particularly important to take suitable measures to prevent reactivation such as repair
switches etc.
The Feeder Local Panel FLP immediately next to the feeding machine should preferably be
used for operation. The individual drives such as motors, valves etc. can essentially be
controlled from here. Measurements can also be observed on the FLP.

3 .1 NAVIGATION
ScreenUp ScreenDown
These two buttons are used to select the selectable screens. The integrated LED’s indicate whether
there are additional screens in this direction (upwards or downwards). In general the selectable
screens depend on the configuration of the dosing system that defines which devices exists. The
arrangement of the screens is guided by the real assembly of the dosing machine, that is
weighfeeder downwards and additional devices (prefeeding system, prehopper, refill system, silo)
upwards.
3 .2 CONTROL
In operating mode „Field“ these buttons are used to control the displayed device (drive, aeration,
gate). The „ON“-button also activates several functions in the procedures menu (calibration). The
LED’s indicates whether an actuation is possible.
Field
This button enables/disables the Field mode. To control devices or execute several functions from
the FLP this operation mode must be selected.
Acknowledge
By pressing this button an error message is displayed in plain text first. Activating the button out of
the plain text display acknowledges the message and returns to the display before. The plain text
display can also be left by pressing one of the arrow buttons .
StopAll
By pressing this button all devices, which were started from the FLP in field mode, are stopped.

1 GENERAL
These instructions describe how to configure the FPI as a Feeder Process Interface. Basic
settings are explained, such as calibrating the weighfeeder or configuring the network
interface, and displaying current online data using a Pfister Handheld Terminal (PHT).
The description applies to all different types of weighfeeder (belt feeder, belt system and rotor
feeder).
A distinction must be made between the respective variants and the different installation
locations of the checkweights on site (these can be found in the relevant machinery
documentation).
Weighfeeder adjustment consists of

• Calibrating the weighfeeder
Determining the zero point
Recording a rotation constant
Recording a zero curve
Depending on the design of the feeding system, the following options are available:
• Prefeeding
• Prehopper
• Pressure measurement
• Silo measurement
The relevant calibrations for these options must also be performed.

1 .3 OPERATING THE FEEDER PROCESS INTERFACE (FPI)

A PC/laptop with a VT100 terminal emulation program such as Hyperterminal or a Pfister
Handheld Terminal (PHT) is needed to operate an FPI. The following documentation described
operation with a Pfister Handheld Terminal PHT.
1 .4 CONNECTING A PHT
The PHT is connected to the service interface, which is in the local control box. The PHT cannot
be directly connected to connector “X11” of the FPI, since it requires its own power supply.

2 .5.7 Recording the dynamic zero

The feeding system has a revolution-independent zero point. The difference from the zero
point is stored in the zero curve in sections for one revolution of the feeding system and taken
into consideration during the measurement.
A synchronous sensor that defines the starting point for a revolution is required to do this.
Without a synchronous sensor, the average difference from the zero point over the revolution
time is assumed.

The following condition must be met:
• Zero point has been reset
• Span has been set
• Revolution constant has been recorded
Switch the drive on.
