Analog Input

Load information is generated by an analog input. Note that the load value must
be calibrated using an analog input calibration procedure. Negative load values
on the analog input are not allowed and are replaced with zero.
This setting is most commonly used when there is a weight transmitter available
with a high level (i.e. 4-30mA) analog output representing belt load.

From Network

Load information is written to the GCM by means of communications. Note that
the load value must be written as a floating point number in engineering units.
This setting can be used when there are no load cells but there is a signal
available from the Network that represents belt load.

Settings

Inf Load AutoUpdate

This setting must be enabled to automatically update the Inferred Load value
while the feeder is running. If normal operation with load cells is maintained for
one belt revolution, within all limits and without any load related warnings or
faults, then the Inferred Load will be updated with the average load for that
revolution.
Numeric Data
The following menu lists numeric settings that affect load cell functionality.
Note: Some settings require two load cells and so will only appear if two load cells
have been configured (see Main Menu > Advanced Setup > Configuration > Load
Cell n)
