Milltronics BW100
Introduction Note: The Milltronics BW100 is to be used only in the manner outlined in this instruction manual.
The Milltronics BW100 is an economical integrator for use with belt scales. The speed and load signals from the conveyor and scale, are processed to derive rate of material flow and totalization. The primary values of speed and load, and the derived values of rate and total are available for display on the local LCD, or as output in the form of analog mA, alarm relay and remote totalization. BW100 supports Milltronics proprietary bipolar current loop for long distance communication to PLC or computer. It is also compatible with Milltronics Dolphin interface for remote display, programming and software upgrading.

In order to achieve optimum accuracy in the rate computation, the belt speed displayed must equal that of the actual belt speed. As the speeds are likely to differ, a belt speed compensation should be performed. Run the conveyor with the belt empty.

If the BW100 constant speed input (TB1-5/6) is jumpered, the design speed (P014) is automatically adjusted. If a speed sensor is connected, the speed constant (P015) is automatically adjusted. The display speed (used in the rate computation) now equals the actual speed. Record the new value in Appendices/Program Record. 7ML19985DJ01 Milltronics BW100 - INSTRUCTION MANUAL Page 29
Material Tests
Perform material tests to verify the accuracy of the of the span calibration. If the material tests indicate a repeatable deviation exists, a manual span adjust (P019) is then performed. This procedure automatically alters the span calibration and adjusts the test load (P017) value, yielding more accurate span recalibrations.
Note: Test weights are NOT used during material tests.

If the span adjust value is within the accuracy requirements of the weighing system, the material test was successful and normal operation can be resumed. If the span adjust value is not acceptable, repeat the material test to verify repeatability. If the result of the second material test differs considerably, consult Milltronics or its agent. If the span adjust values are significant and repeatable, perform a manual span adjust:

Design Changes
Where parameters have been changed with a resultant impact on the calibration or do not take effect until a recalibration is done, the parameter warning icon is displayed. In order to clear the icon, perform a zero and span recalibration after the reprogramming session is complete. If significant changes have been made, an initial zero (P377) and/or initial span (P388) may be required.
Recalibration
In order to maintain the accuracy of the weighing system, periodic zero and span recalibrations are required. Recalibration requirements are highly dependent upon the severity of the application. Perform frequent checks initially, then as time and experience dictate, the frequency of these checks may be reduced. Record deviations for reference. 7ML19985DJ01 Milltronics BW100 - INSTRUCTION MANUAL Page 31

Linearization
Conveyor applications where the belt scale is poorly located, or where there is a high degree of variation in belt tension, typically cause the belt scale to report load nonlinearly. The BW100 provides a linearizing function (P390 - P396) in order to correct for the deficiency in the weighing system and to provide an accurate report of the actual process.
To verify that the cause of the non-linearity is not mechanical:

1. 2. Run the conveyor belt empty and stop it. Suspend various test weights to the scale to verify mechanical linearity. If the load reported by the BW100 at these tests is non-linear, a mechanical problem is indicated. Refer to the belt scale manual in order to resolve the non-linearity by improved installation or repair.
If it is determined that the non-linearity is due to the weighing application, and not the actual belt scale, apply linearization by performing the following:
zero calibration span calibration at 90 to 100% of design rate material tests at 90 to 100% of design rate manual span adjust if required material tests at 1 to 3 intermediary flow rates where compensation is required.
Notes:
Compensation points must be at least 10% of the design load apart. E8 message occurs if a point is less than 10% of full scale or if points are less than 10% apart. calculate the percentage compensation for each flow rate tested. % compensation = actual weight - totalized weight x 100 totalized weight
Where:
actual weight = material test totalized weight = BW100 total

Example: A non-linearity with respect to the ideal response exists in a belt scale application with design rate of 200 t/h. It is decided to do material tests at 25, 50 and 75% of the design rate. After performing a zero and a span calibration at 100% of the design rate, followed by material tests and manual span adjust, three material tests were performed at 50, 100 and 150 t/h, as indicated by the BW100. The following data was tabulated. (This example is exaggerated for emphasis). The material tests should be run at same belt speed, representative of normal operation; in this case 1.2 m/s. For each rate, record the corresponding load value by scrolling to the BW100 load display during running conditions or by calculation. load = rate speed

Often only one point of compensation is required, usually at a low load value. In the prior example, if compensation was only required at 11.6 kg/m, the programming could be as follows. Compensation is optimized by establishing the next load value that agrees with the material test, hence where compensation is zero and entering it as the next compensation point.

Operation
Load Sensing
In order for the BW100 to calculate rate and hence totalize material flow along the belt conveyor, a load signal representative of weight of material on the belt is required. The load signal is provided by the belt scale. The BW100 is compatible with belt scales fitted with one or two strain gauge type load cells. Refer to Specifications on page 3 and Installation/Load Cell on page 6 for belt scale requirements and connection.
Speed Sensing
In order for the BW100 to calculate rate and hence totalize material flow along the belt conveyor, a speed signal representative of belt speed is required. In constant speed applications (no speed sensor), the BW100 can be programmed to provide an internal speed signal. This is achieved by entering the design speed (P014) and providing a jumper across speed input terminals (TB1-5/6). Speed constant (P015) defaults to 100. For optimum accuracy of the weighing system, both constant and variable speed applications, a speed sensor is required. Again, the design speed and speed constants need to be programmed, however the jumper across the speed input has to be removed and the speed sensor connected. Refer to Specifications on page 3 and Installation/Speed Sensor on page 6 for speed sensor requirements and connection.
Modes of Operation
RUN is the normal or reference mode of operation. It continuously processes the load signal from the belt scale to produce internal load and rate signals, which are in turn used as the basis for totalization, mA output and relay control. The RUN display is programmed (P081) to scroll through rate, totalization, load and speed; either manually by pressing the ENTER key, or automatically. A bar graph is continuously displayed. It is proportional to the analog output as programmed (see Analog Output on page 43). From the RUN mode, access to the PROGRAM mode on and zero and span calibration is made. The PROGRAM mode allows viewing and, with security permission (P000), changing parameter values. During PROGRAM, RUN mode functions are still active, i.e.: rate, relay, analog output and totalization. Error interrupts are suppressed and the bar graph is disabled. If the PROGRAM mode is left idle for a period of ten minutes, it automatically reverts to the RUN mode.
Recalibration
Page 42
7ML19985DJ01
Damping
Damping (P080) controls the speed at which the displayed readings and output functions respond to changes in their respective input function; load, speed and the internal rate signals. Changes in the displayed rate of material flow, material loading and belt speed are controlled by the damping. Relay alarm functions based on input functions of flow, load and speed, respond to the damped value. If the specific mA output damping parameter (P220) is enabled (value other than 0), then the damping (P080) as it pertains to the mA function is overridden, and the output value and bar graph respond independently at the specified mA output damping rate (P220).
Operation
Analog Output
The BW100 provides one isolated analog output. The output can be assigned (P201) to represent rate, load or speed. The output range can be set to 0 - 20 mA or 4 - 20 mA (P200). The 0 or 4 mA value corresponds to empty or zero condition, whereas the 20 mA value corresponds to the associated design value: rate (P011), load (P952) or speed (P014). The analog output can be limited for over range levels of 0 mA minimum and 22 mA maximum (P212 and P213 respectively). The output 4 and 20 mA levels can also be trimmed (P214 and P215 respectively) to agree with a millammeter or other external mA input device. The BW100 LCD provides a bar graph as a function of analog output. It displays the mA value as percentage of the mA range.
The mA output value can be tested using parameter P911. Refer to Parameter P911 on page 62.
7ML19985DJ01
Page 43
Relay Output
Operation
The BW100 offers one single pole double throw (SPDT) relay that can be assigned (P100) to one of the following alarm functions: rate: relay alarms on high and/or low material flow rate. auto zero: relay alarms when an attempted auto zero calibration reports an out of range condition (E9). speed: relay alarms on high and/or low belt speed. load: relay alarms on high and or low belt load. error: relay alarms on any error condition as it is reported. Refer to Troubleshooting, page 65.
Except for alarm on auto zero and error, the high and low alarm setpoints (P101 and P102 respectively) are required and must be entered in the appropriate units. The on / off actuation at both setpoints is buffered by the damping (P080) and the programmable dead band (P117), to prevent relay chatter due to fluctuations. The relay is normally energized; i.e. the normally closed (n.c.) contact held open. Upon an alarm condition, the relay is de-energized and the alarm icon on the BW100 display appears. Once in alarm, the relay and icon remain in alarm status until the alarm condition is removed. Example: P014 = 2m/s, design speed P100 = 3, belt speed P101 = 100% (2m/s)
high 100%

low 20%
actual OFF 22% 2% actual ON 20%

Page 44
7ML19985DJ01
Totalization
The totalization function is based on the internal rate (mass per unit time) signal proportional to belt speed and load on the associated belt scale. It is not affected by the damping function (P080). The rate signal is sampled several times a second to accurately count the mass of material conveyed. The count is held in the master totalizer used to increment the internal totalizers and to produce a pulse signal for the remote totalizers. The BW100 provides four separate totalizer functions: internal totalizer 1 internal totalizer 2 remote totalizer 1 remote totalizer 2
Operation
To avoid totalizing material at low flow rates, the totalizer drop out limit (P619) is set to a percentage of the design rate. Below this limit, totalization stops. When material flow returns to a rate above the drop out limit, totalization resumes. Totalizer resolution or count value is set by the respective control parameters, P631 -P639. If the resolution selected causes the totalizer to lag behind the count rate, an E2 error is displayed after making the parameter entry. The error is rectified by selecting a greater resolution value. Example: Internal totalizer 1 Given: Then: P005 = 1 (t/h) P631 = 4 totalizer count increments by 10 for each 10 metric tonnes registered
External totalizer 1 Given: P005 = 1 (t/h) P638 = 5 Then: contact closure occurs once for every 10 metric tonnes registered
For remote totalization, the contact closure duration is set by the respective control parameters, P643 and P644. The value is automatically calculated upon entry of the design rate (P011) and remote totalizer parameters (P638 and P639), so that the duration of contact closure allows the relay response to track the total up to the design rate. The value can be changed to suit specific contact closure requirements, such as in the case of programmable logic controllers. If an E2 error is displayed, P638 or P639 has to be increased. The totalizers are reset through the master reset (P999), the totalizer reset (P648) or through the keypad. master reset: the reset of all totalizer functions is included in the master reset. totalizer reset: totalizer reset can be used to resets internal totalizers 1 and 2, or totalizer 2 independently. keypad: pressing simultaneously while in the RUN mode resets internal totalizer 1, as well as the internal counts for both remote totalizers. Milltronics BW100 - INSTRUCTION MANUAL Page 45
7ML19985DJ01
Placing the internal totalizers on to the display scroll of the RUN mode is controlled by the totalizer display parameter (P647); displaying either one or both totalizers.
Operation
Auto Zero
The Auto Zero function allows a zero calibration to be initiated automatically under the following conditions. the auto zero input (TB1-9/10) is in a closed state; jumper or remote switch the load is less than 2% of the design load
If the resulting zero deviation is less than an accumulated 2% from the last operator initiated zero, the auto zero is accepted. If the deviation is greater than an accumulated 2%, an E9 error is displayed and the relay, if so programmed, goes into alarm (refer to Operation/Relay Output, page 44). The E9 error is cleared after five seconds. If material feed resumes during an auto zero function, the totalizing function is maintained.

Error messages are cleared when the condition is remedied. RUN mode errors are suppressed during PROGRAM mode, zero or span calibration. Zero and span errors are cleared when zero or span is initiated. Errors that happen during the calibration require re-starting the procedure. Program errors are cleared when any key is pressed. The messages E101 through E104 can be turned off (P949). The load cell errors are detected by certain conditions where it is apparent that the load cell is not functioning or incorrectly wired. It is not a conclusive test, since even with incorrect wiring, the resulting input from the load cell may be within a valid range.
Maintenance
The BW100 requires no maintenance. The external surface of the enclosure may be cleaned using a vacuum cleaner and a clean dry paint brush. The display window should be cleaned with a moist non-abrasive cloth. It is a good idea to check the associated load sensing device, according to its instruction manual.
Software Updates
The software can be updated from a floppy disk by use of a PC (IBM Compatible) with Milltronics Dolphin software. It is recommended that a reset (P999) is done after the software update followed by zero and span calibrations. Direct zero entry (P367) and direct span entry (P368) will suffice in lieu of dynamic zero and span calibrations. Therefore, zero and span counts should be recorded prior to doing the software update.
