I = Feed rate in kg/h or t/h
Material amount per unit time
Z = Totalized amount in kg or t

Measuring Principle:
Material is guided to measuring chute S free from

voltage is proportional to flow rate. L/C = Load cell
INTECONT evaluates signal and computes flow rate

Replacing INTECONT PLUS FIP —> INTECONT PLUS VEG

INTECONT PLUS, type “VEG”, is equipped with added functions for INTECONT PLUS, type “FIP”. Logical
inputs/outputs can now be assigned to hardware at will. Please also check all connectors with relevant
parameter assignment.
When using our convenient replacement set (ordering no. V036910.B01), hardware is adapted by plugging.
The EasyServe setting program supplied enables easy assignment and transfer of all software parameters.
