0 Principle
The Conveyor Belt Weigher system consists of a conveyor belt whose load is
constantly
weighed with a measuring device. The volume flow is calculated from the product of
load
(Load cell value) and belt speed (Tacho frequency or fixed frequency). Integration of
the
instantaneous conveyed value results in the amount transported.
The Solid Flow Meter system consists of an Impact plate whose load is constantly
weighed with a measuring device. The volume flow is calculated from the product of
load
(Load cell value) and internal speed. Integration of the instantaneous conveyed
value
results in the amount transported.
1.1 TUC-6 Belt Weigher / Solid Flow Meter System, Overview:
The TUC-6 calculates the instantaneous value of the material being conveyed and
keeps track of the amount of material conveyed over a period of time.
The measuring unit is operated using the TUC-6 keypad, and the 2 line, 16 digit LCD
display. The display values are called using fixed keys or displayed through pull-
down
selection.
The configuration of TUC-6 is determined by the parameter fields. To do this, a
selection
is made from the given values in the configuration menus or a parameter is entered
using the front keypad.
1.2 System Features
- Fail safe EEPROM memory for configuration parameters
- Battery buffered RAM for working data
- Date/Time in battery buffered Real Time Clock
- Integrated keyboard and display
- Data memory even with replacement of interface cards
- 1 Impulse output
- Isolated analog signal output interface
- Curve correction
- Zero correction
- Alphanumeric Text displays for Fault diagnosis

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Belt Weigher/ Solid Flow Meter with TUC-6 Electronics
TUC6-020-EE23.1-R0 Page 3 of 4
Software_version: 1.0 (onwards)
2007-05-15
2.0 Functions
2.1 Zero setting
Belt related influences on the belt load can be compensated by means of zero
correction. To do this, the correction process is started with the belt running idle. The
zero correction value, with which the belt load is set off, is calculated automatically
after
the zero correction process. The zero correction is initiated from the front keypad.
2.2 Linearisation of material load
If the load on the measuring cell is not linear in the whole range, the load can be
laniaries by entering up to ten correction points.
2.3 Error Messages
Faults/Errors caused by incorrect operations are displayed in clear text in the control
display.
Faults are also made available at the output in the form of potential free contacts.
3.0 Interfaces
3.1 Computer Interface
It is possible to enable remote monitoring and control of the system, by connecting
the
unit to a master controller through the serial interface. Modbus RTU and Profibus
protocol options are supported through use of optional modules.
3.2 Pulse Output
One-pulse output (either “S1” or “S2”) is available from the system corresponding to
the
quantity being conveyed. The resolution & pulse width of the Totalizer pulses are
configurable.
3.3 Analog output
Isolated Analog output is available for display and/or measurement tasks. Analog
current
output corresponds to “Actual Feedrate”.
1.0 Keypad and display
1.1 Keypad
TUC-6 has a multi-function keypad, the definition of keys change as per the menu
operations. Some keys have alphabets in the lower left hand corner. These are not
used
in this module. The numbers 0 to 9 in the upper right hand corner of some keys are
used
for numeric entries.
Characters/Symbols used in the keys have following meaning,
Key not defined
BB - Display Belt Load in %
Key not defined
Display Actual Flowrate
Display Totalizer 1

OPERATOR’S MANUAL
Display
When the TUC-6 is powered on from the mains, the display "Transweigh" is shown
for 5
secs.
The system then displays either the Online Menu or the Offline menus, depending on
the
status of key pressed during the 5 secs. delay.
-Press 'VER' to bypass 5 sec. delay & jump to Main Program menu.
-Press 'CL' to bypass 5 sec. delay & jump to Offline menus.
If no key is pressed, the system enters Main Program menu at the end of 5 sec.
delay.
a) In the Online menu – Main Program, the following parameters can be displayed
by selecting keys from the keypad 'X', 'S1', 'S2', 'BB', 'T':
X Actual flowrate value in units selected
S1 Totalizer1 value
S2 Totalizer2 value
BB Belt load value in %
T Weigh Feeder Tacho frequency in Hz.
Other Values are selectable with the '􀄹􀄹' key. These values are shown below with
their
designated names.
BS Belt Speed in m/sec
Date In format yy-mm-dd
Time In format Hour:Minute
b) Error messages
The error messages have the highest priority, i.e. they are not overwritten by any
other display and remain in display until they are acknowledged.
The error messages are listed in section 4.0 "Errors Messages" of this manual.

2.0 Functions
2.1 Start / Stop
There are two means by which TUC-6 accepts Start/Stop Command.
One is by pressing Start button provided on the Keypad.
Another is by External Start / Stop i/p connected to TUC-6 on X1 connector terminals
10-
11-12.
When in OFF line mode, CONFIGURATION MENU, START -> “ INT “ is selected
then
TUC accepts command from keypad.
When in OFF line mode, CONFIGURATION MENU, START -> “ EXT “ is selected
then
TUC accepts command from external input.
When External Start/Stop input is connected to TUC-6, internal FIXED TACHO must
be
selected for the system.
START Condition:-
Display - LED above 'START' on.
STOP Condition:-
Display - LED above 'START' off.
2.2 Zero setting
With this key, Zero correction process is initiated.
Conditions
- System in Local/De-Interlock-Volumetric mode
- Belt started
Display - LED over '>0<' flashing.
Note:
Zero setting operation can be canceled by pressing '>0<' key during zeroing process.
With canceling, the old zero setting value is not lost.
