This parameter specifies the network gate way used to connect the DT-9.
Note: Function Control Block parameters are disabled and hidden by default.
Note: Function Control Block parameters are disabled and hidden by default.
Always correct the cause of a fault before acknowledging it. The feeder has the potential to cause
injuries or damage if this procedure is not followed.
Event are classified in the following groups with the priority shown.
Action:
• Check cabling.
• If cabling is OK, load cell amplifier could be defective.
• Check for either possibility. If scale cannot be restarted after remedy of fault, turn
device off and restart.
CA-02 Tacho Input ( P 06.03 )
Input frequency is zero or exceeds 3600 Hz.
Action:
• Insure that the motor is turning.
• Insure that parameter P 04.06 Speed Measurement is set to the correct input.
• Check the tachometer wiring.
• Check the tachometer signal using a frequency counter or oscilloscope.
Feed rate controller control magnitude has reached upper response threshold. After some
time, message HI-5 (Deviation) is additionally output.
1. Material flow missing or irregular.
2. External feed rate controller wrongly set.
Action:
• Check material discharge and control magnitude (service value Y). At nominal feed
rate, Y should be 10 to 14mA.
CO-05 Event Vol on Failure ( P 05.02 )
Normally disabled and hidden.
Indicates that the system is in volumetric mode due to failure in the weighing system.
Action:
• Check for load cell wiring errors or imbalanced load cell inputs.
This event is generated when power is lost. If P06.08 Event: Power failure is set to A, the
feeder will be in OFF/Maint Mode when power is restored.
WE-02 Event: NAMUR Error V103-DI13 ( P 15.05 )
This event should only be enabled when a NAMUR sensor is connected to DI 13.
The connection to the sensor on DI 13 (X5-5 and X5-6) has been lost.
Action:
• Insure that a NAMUR device is connected to DI 13.
• Check the DI 13 wiring.
WE-03 Event: NAMUR Error V103-DI14 ( P 15.06 )
This event should only be enabled when a NAMUR sensor is connected to DI 14.
Action:
• Insure that a NAMUR device is connected to DI 14.
• Check the DI 14 wiring.
WE-08 Analog Input< Offset ( P 06.15 )
Normally disabled and hidden.
The signal available across an analog input is smaller than the set zero point elevation.
Action: Check analog input (Sig+ & Sig-) wiring.
When a touch screen HMI is used, parameter P03.10 Run Enable must be set to DI 8,
which is connected to the stop switch mounted under the HMI. This switch is used to stop
the feeder in the event that the HMI is disabled or disconnected. Parameter P03.11 is
normally set to W2 so that there is an indication on the display when the feeder is disabled.
Action:
• Check the position of the Run Enable switch. Check the wiring to the Run
Enable switch.
Note: The Run Enable switch is not normally used with the Stock 196NT display and in this
case P03.10 Run Enable must be set to n/a to allow motor operation.
The value of the moisture input signal is greater then the maximum signal set by P12.08.
MF-14 Remote TCI too small ( P 02.15 )
The TCI is required to operate at a frequency greater then its limit. See the description of
P 02.14 Pulse Length Total for more information.
Action:
• Set P02.13 Totalizer Increment and/or P02.14 Remote Totalizer Pulse Width to a
smaller value.
Load cell load is higher than 110% of load cells rated capacities.
Full scale value:
125% with 2.85mV/V load cells
175% with 2mV/V load cells
HI-02 I > MAX ( P 09.04 )
Normally disabled and hidden.
Action:
• Check for loss or material on belt.
The difference between the belt speed calculated using sensor 1 (P18.02) and sensor
2(P18.05) has exceeded the limit specified by P 18.07 Slip Value 2.
WM-06 Chain Motion Monitor ( P 13.06 )
Normally disabled and hidden.
The Chain Motion Monitor (CMM) pulse delay (P13.05) has been exceeded.
WM-07 Discharge Pluggage ( P 15.11 )
The discharge pluggage switch (LSFD) detected a build up of coal at the feeder discharge.
This is a fail safe input. This event is generated when the LSFD signal is lost.
Action:
• Insure that discharge is clear.
• Check LSFD wiring.
WM-08 Loss of Material ( P 15.14 )
The coal on belt switch (LSFB) has indicated a loss of material on the belt while running in
Remote.
WM-09 Motor Starter Error ( P 15.18 )
The motor starter of VFD has failed to start the feeder when instructed to by the controller.
WM-10 Belt Motion Error ( P 07.03 )

The (optional) coal flow monitor has indicated a loss of material in the downspout above
the feeder.
WM-12 Coal on Belt ( P 15.15 )
Coal was detected by the coal on belt switch (LSFB) when the feeder was running in local
or calibrate mode.
Scale is in standby mode, i.e. setpoint is smaller than set standby limit (Parameter P06.03
"Standby Limit"). Material pre-feeder cuts off.
