P016 Belt Length; P017 Test Load - Siemens Milltronics BW500 Operating Instructions Manual

Parameters
12.1 Start Up (P001 to P017)
12.1.11

P016 Belt Length

The length of the conveyor belt (one belt revolution) (f = 0.000)
Length units are:
feet: if the imperial system of measurement has been selected, P004 = 1
metres: if the metric system of measurement has been selected, P004 = 2
Enter the belt length.
12.1.12

P017 Test Load

The load to be referenced when performing a span (
Load units are:
lb/ft: if the imperial system of measurement has been selected, P004 = 1
kg/m: if the metric system of measurement has been selected, P004 = 2
The display indicates the test reference as selected by P002: 'weight', 'chain', or 'ECal' and the
multispan number MS, 1-8
Multispan function is not available with BW500/L.
1)
Enter the test load value. In the case of weight, pressing enter at P017 invokes P680 for data
entry.
In the case of ECal, pressing enter at P017 invokes P693 for data entry. ECal sets the value for
P017 at 100% of design load (P952).
In the case of chain, pressing enter at P017 allows direct entry of the load value stamped on the
chain's name plate.
If P002 is set to 'weight' the test load parameter presents two options:
1. enter the load in weight/unit length
Set P680 Test Load: Weight (Options) to '1-Enter Value', and then enter the desired value for
P017.
or
2. the mass and the weigh length.
Set P680 Test Load: Weight (Options) (Page 183) to '2-Enter Data' and then enter the 'Total
Mass of Test Weights' in P681, and the 'Average Idler Space' in P682.
Example:
3 standard MSI test weights, 1.2 meter idler spacing
Test Load:
