  • Page 8: Product Description

    4 Cable glands Functional principle The Solimotion FTR20 flow indicator for bulk solids works using microwave technology and detects the movement of bulk solids and changes in the mass flow of a solid flow. The device transmits a signal that is reflected by the moving bulk solids. In doing so, the FTR20 measures the strength of the reflected, frequency-shifted energy (Doppler effect) and uses it to form a display value or output signal.

  • Page 21: Operation Options

    Solimotion FTR20 Operation options Operation options Overview The Solimotion is configured using a function selection switch (encoding switch) and two operating buttons (adjustment to the sensitivity needed for clear and unambiguous mate- rial flow detection of the products). The parameter configuration is stored internally and is retained even after the supply voltage is disconnected.

    You can write down all configurable settings of the following chapters in a table for docu- mentation purposes (→ 50). Calibrating the Solimotion The Solimotion FTR20 can be calibrated under the following conditions: Calibration in the process for moving bulk solids • Automatic calibration for moving bulk solids (Function 1, → 25), sufficient for most applications •...
  • Page 25 Move the encoding switch to the initial position 0 → Display of the current signal strength • The Solimotion FTR20 is calibrated if, - for moving bulk solids, the switch point (LED 5) of the switch output is exceeded reliably.
  • Page 26 Move the encoding switch to the initial position 0 → Display of the current signal strength • The Solimotion FTR20 is calibrated if, - for moving bulk solids, the switch point (LED 5) of the switch output is exceeded reliably.
  • Page 27 Introduction The Solimotion FTR20 detects the movement of a wide variety of bulk solids. The total detection range (0 to 100%  minimum to maximum possible signal strength) is designed to be correspondingly wide. This way even products with very low reflection (small signal strengths), such as rigid polystyrene foam, can be detected.
  • Page 28 Commissioning Solimotion FTR20 0% 100% a Illuminated LEDs of the signal strength display b Total available detection range The detection range is configured as follows: Move the encoding switch to position C → Display of the function number → After 2 seconds: Display of the configured detection range, example: Press the key on the device to increase or decrease the detection range depend- ing on the gain (→...
  • Page 29 Solimotion FTR20 Commissioning Gain (function B) The configured detection range (function C) can be shifted within the maximum possible range using the gain. Depending on the detection range, it can be configured in the range from 1 to a maximum of 10 LEDs in 20 increments (2 increments correspond to 1 LED).
  • Page 30 Commissioning Solimotion FTR20 The gain is configured as follows: Move the encoding switch to position B → Display of the function number → After 2 seconds: Display of the configured gain, example: Press the key on the device to increase or decrease the gain depending on the detection range (see the following table) →...
  • Page 31 The bulk solids for which movement is to be detected are transported via a conveyor belt. Due to process fluctuations, the belt is loaded unevenly. FTR20 Default setting of the Solimotion FTR20 (→ 39): Gain (function B) Detection range (function C) Signal strength display in this particular example with the default settings: Maximum loading (current output: 15.2 mA)
  • Page 32 Solimotion FTR20 Example: Calibrate switch output For example, the Solimotion FTR20 with switch output should be calibrated such that the output relay remains closed despite the fluctuating signal strength (if loading of the belt is low (= minimum signal strength), the switch point (LED 5) must remain reliably exceed- ed).
  • Page 33 Commissioning Example: Calibrate current output For example, the Solimotion FTR20 with current output should be calibrated such that the irregular loading height can be detected due to process fluctuations (make better use of the output signal range (4-20 mA) in comparison to the default setting). The movement of the empty belt must not be detected.

    Commissioning Solimotion FTR20 Advanced settings The following settings are optional and not required in most cases; it may make sense to use them only for special adaptations to the application and/or to the downstream analy- sis (process control system). Overview of the factory defaults →39 8.3.1 Hysteresis (function 5)
  • Page 35 Solimotion FTR20 Commissioning 8.3.2 Limit signal function (function 6) For devices with a relay and solid-state relay, the limit signal function determines the switching behavior upon exceeding and undershooting the limit value (upper limit value LED 5, lower limit determined by hysteresis).
  • Page 36 Commissioning Solimotion FTR20 8.3.3 Switching delay (function 7 and 8) An additional switch-on and/or off delay can be configured for the switch output. This can be used, for example, to stabilize the switch output when the signal strength fluctuates greatly, so that the relay does not switch until the switch point has been exceeded or un- dershot for a corresponding time.
  • Page 37 Solimotion FTR20 Commissioning The switching delays t(S) and t(T) are configured as follows: Move the encoding switch to position 7 (switch-on delay t(S)) or position 8 (switch-off delay t(T)) → Display of the function number, switch-off delay example → After 2 seconds: Display of the configured delay time, example:...
